So I've just broken 1000 miles and I've got all the parts needed to go stage 2, but I just wanna make sure my engine is as ready to play as I am lol! I've never gone so long without ANY mods in my life and I really need my fix! Can I play coach can I play?!
Basically, I already have an Invidia Catted DP, a Forge BPV, and an Injen CAI all waiting on install with a stage 2 e-tune if 1k is enough of a break in period. It just really sucks having parts you can look at all the time but can't install lol!
Yeah I've gotten some others saying the same...I suppose I'll suffer and just keep staring at them all for another 4k at least. Anything more than that may cause withdrawals and convulsions though lol! Coming from a fully modded 350z to a stock WRX is torture!
My pro-tuned stage 2 is amazing (298/325). You have a lot to look forward to! I did do Cobb stage 1 at about 2k miles. That sure makes a big difference.
Still waiting to see you around town too man. We can't have two stage 2 wrx's in town lmao...it's showdown time. How you liking that gtworx setup? I'll have mine out again soon. Just been parked in my driveway waiting on a tune. Nice hp/tq gains btw. I'll post mine once pro-tuned.
1k and an oil change is what every credited source I could find said. And the only thing Subaru said when called was under 4k rpm till 1k mileage. Cars101.com has never let me down before so I'm good as far as I can see. Too late now anyways lol....
I bet! Suspension is def my next round of mods. I'm sure I'll be seeing you around once the spring hits. I have a work truck from my co for a daily driver too so I just tear that up instead of the brand new Rex.
I am a 2013 owner as well and from what I could find, you are correct the "break in" period is 1k miles. But It says the first oil change isn't required until 7.5k miles. Subaru told me this as well. 2013 Subaru maintenance schedule and new car break-in period
I personally waited until 3k miles until I started adding parts on the car, but again that is just my preference... If nothing else you could add the parts and drive around for a bit before you get the tune.
Hope this helps.
Yeah I read the same. Only reasoning for me doing an OC is because of the dyno pro-tune. Prob would've waited the same a you did. I'm just glad to get some parts on there lol! A thousand miles never took so long to come.
HAHA I need to update my own mod list. I put that together before I got my car. It was my "wish list" I still want them but I am too busy trying to get money together for other mods.
All I have right now is a blue cobb shift knob, a cobb catback exhaust. and some weathertech floor mats (if you can say that the fist and the last are a mod) lol
The reason to wait until you change the oil. Is to flush out any little shavings from the brand new motor out. There has to be some little wear in on the metal of a brand new engine...even to the smallest degree that little metal flakes could possibly be floating around in there.
