I am due a visit to TEG Sports next monday where Andrew Carr will be remapping on the dyno. question is what power can I roughly expect to achieve? I am aware there are variables from dyno to dyno, just want to get a feel what to expect.

 

340 to 380 ish !!!!

 

I certainly hope so 350 was my aim.

 

should get that ! i ran 340 /340 on my old hawk wrx !! that was on a td05 16g

 

I shall let you know the results next monday. fingers crossed. I had a panic tonight that id overlooked the TMIC for and STI one and thought id end up with low 300s but given that 350 is the point before gearbox and internals need forging thought it be a sensible target.

 

gearbox is ok ! hawk wrx gearbox is ok for the power ! depends how you drive also ! lol ! you could stick a hawk sti top mounht on ? easy to change over. £150 maybe might get you one !!

 

May do 350.

Not for long though without forged pistons and big end replacement!

 

Why is the engine out?

 

pretty much everything in post one getting done.

 

why take the engine out then? everything can be done with it in situ :S

 

alot easier engine out with so much being done was obvious thing to do, only takes an hour to remove

 

It's out because of head gasket failure

 

Ah totaly missed that

Hope your having the bottom end rebuilt as well.

 

Nope...

 

really? o dear, i can see a second post on the horizon asking about engine failures

 

next time

 

Should be good for 370ish brake and around 400 on the torque with the listed mods.

 

Andy carr replied with 330-340.

 

Bloke I know got 368 from vf48 on a 2.5

 

that be nice! this time next week I will know
