Evolved8 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) Customer came to us and base lined his 08 WRX and asked for ways to make more power. The stock Top mount intercooler was so power robbing, It heatsoaked after one pull, So we did the foillowing.. After the following mods: Tru Boost gauge Custom slowmotion aluminum intercooler piping with FMIC Intake Exhaust Boost SPIKED 17psi and held 10-12psi http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k198/projectturboex/TimBrunBeforeandAfter.jpg Sorry i did not get a chance to get pictures of the final product. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k198/projectturboex/wrx2.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k198/projectturboex/wrx1.jpg Edited July 21, 2009 by Evolved8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Your claiming 50whp and 140wtq from an intake, exhaust and FMIC? Obviously there is some kind of tune, or ecu flash as well right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubar231 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Clearly 371 awtq was a mis-type, he had to of ment 271. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Clearly 371 awtq was a mis-type, he had to of ment 271. That makes more sense. Still though, 50whp and 40wtq on the above mods without a tune? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fubar231 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I dont know, that sounds more reasonable. Going from a restrictice top mount intercooler, that has massive amounts of heat on it at all times, to a front mount. Granted hes probably got a little more boost lag now, but thats going to help a lot, i can see a gain of 20whp off of ic hardpipes and a new ic. If they did a turboback i say another 10, but thats 20 im missing and your not getting that out of a intake. I dunno. I wanna see / hear what they say.

Evolved8 Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) They car made 140wtq more over stock its true come in and see the dyno graps guys, The car was tuned on stock ecu flash, as far as boost it spiked 16 psi and held 11psi on the dyno.

thorne Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 371 wtq is not unheard of on the 2.5 running big boost. I would think its running 18lbs-20lbs or so to reach those numbers. Most stage 2's making well over 300wtq. The thing thats really helping out is the front mount the stock top mounts start to break at 19psi the end caps start to come loose. http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g316/DynoFlash_Evo_8/wrx08.jpg I've got a 2008 WRX with similar mods minus the FMIC. I hope to see 320-350wtq and 250-270 whp. I'll post up pics once I've got some dyno time set up. BTW The screen shot is a stock TMIC. the 2.5 with a small turbo can make good tq it just can't hold the power out. Also remeber what kinda of dyno this is. On a dyno jet it would most likely be around 350 which is 100% achieveable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cory knows his shit....hopefully when my motor is built he can pull that kind of tq outta my shit If he can't pull that kinda of tq out of a STi I would ummmm .. Trust me he will. The lost 05 STi I tuned with nothing more then a TBE made over 360wtq. How much change did you make to the AVCS system? Did you change the restrictor pill?

It doesn't matter how long you make your power for or even if you can hook up. The only thing that matters is that you can do a 13.5 @ 125mph.
