Yes, the 4G63 is good, but the stock STI block is actually quite robust also.

Their have been accounts of people having close to 600whp with a GT35R with the stock block, but of course it will be a matter of time when those motors give out. Good thing you upgraded your internals for peace of mind.

Very hot.

I think single scope would be more suitable for me. But it's your car

nah it just cools her down a bit. Plus i only run a cone filter for the 4inch inlet, so i dont really need to route more air down there.

Import tuner dec 05. Bought the car from him. The new parts were color matched, i did not waste my money on TS paint.

Definetly true, topspeed got 590 on the stock block, it is gonna take some time for the EJ series to develop like the 4g63 has.

You should do a 06+ front conversion. I like the horseshoe look.

so to get it color matched to you have to send it to top secret or at that point can any company match it? how does that work. the color code isnt supposed to get spread around right?

thanks thunder and matt!

i went to a reputable body shop around town and they custom matched it by getting the basic base color through a laser matcher and then proceeded to custom blend and do their tinting etc.. The color code hasnt spread but im not wasting 450$/quart on that TS paint. looks great imo, they did a awesome job matching.
