On the topic of the HPFP, it looks like Nostrum may have started selling units, but it looks like they're OOS for now: https://www.nostrumshop.com/product/...ure-fuel-pump/

I went FBO at 30k and plan to do E85 at 50K when i swap out plugs the next time. Currently at 35K which gives me about 1.5yrs before the 50K mark, so hopefully the guinea pigs here will show over that time if the hpfp is a winner or loser some people are proud of going out of their way to pursue something they love. no knocks on that. i still change the oil on both of my cars even if it takes up my time and i enjoy doing it. but imo if you are running high e contents and also driving like a dick, you'll be refuelling a lot more often compared to pump gas! personally, having to wait and the resulting calculations/math would kill me. the stations by my house have ethanol-only pumps separate from the gas pumps, so having to drive up from the E pump to the gas pump would already be a hassle. |

rumor has it that ibuildracecars has a hpfp in the works as well, would be prudent to wait for the results of both.

That is the one. White connector with a wire harness attached to it. I noticed that too when installing my ECBS this weekend

How does the ots tune and an intake prevent a good flow of oil from lubricating the rod bearings? Like how do you get spun bearings from that?

What kind of deal did they offer you if you don't mind me asking? I assume you still took a substantial financial hit? |

OTS tune? Check Clear and readily available information regarding said combo as problematic? Check Car blows up for whatever reason -- could be irrelevant to the intake or tune -- and get denied warranty because of it? Check So a $300 mod + $500 AP running a garbage OTS tune is a smart move to make, considering the warranty denial that will follow and cost to repair? Who cares if it caused the failure... $8k repair due to $800 "mods" with no research is a s**t situation to be in. If the car blew up/spun bearing while stock? No issues at all with warranty. As I said, hope that other guy does not suffer the same fate -- considering he seems to refuse advice to actually learn about the platform. The car is 6 years old this year; there is a plethora of information available -- no excuse to make a noob move and mod with out knowing what you are doing/changing or the consequences there in. |

I'm sure that most of us with newer Subarus are still making car payments (because most people are).. and an $8k bill is a difficult amount to stomach on a new car that you're still making payments on and that would have otherwise been covered under warranty. Is an $5k+ bill worth it for $800 worth of mods and the little power that's to be had from them? Most of us "budget modders" don't have a rainy day fund for a new engine in our savings account. The WRX is certainly "harder" to keep stock due to the factory tuning. A "stage 1" tune drastically improves the driveability, but is it worth the trade-off? It's been much easier to fight off the temptation of modding with the STI since it comes with a better tune from the factory. |

What did you get on your trade if you don't mind me asking? Was your car paid off at the time or were you financing it? I would think the trade amount wouldn't be very good due to the motor being shot and would assume you'd be upside down if were financing. Also i thought SOA has to prove that the intake & tune caused the engine to blow to deny the warranty service? |

I can’t believe you babied your car so much. I’ve just blown my engine after 67K miles, and it’s because I hadn’t changed the oil in 12K miles and was driving at the max speed in 5th gear for more than 30 seconds (empty highway, I’m not a maniac). That’s more a reason to break a motor than what you’re saying. Good luck! |
