I'd like to hear from those of you running blob eye WRX's (not STI) who have upped the power to around 340bhp, to see what MODS you have added to get there and how much torque you have got please

thanks very much
Iain

 

320 bhp 405nm of torque on powerstations rollers at 1.25 bar


vf 35
equal length headers
full decat
full system
sti pink injectors
pipercross panel filter in standard airbox

 

thanks very much, thats very pleasing to hear!

 

nm and ft/lbs are very different units of measurement for torque.

 

353bhp/354lbft. Mods in "view my scooby".

Graph: http://www.bilar.co.uk/subaru/graphs/

 

what is a nm - newton something or other and what is the difference to lbs

 

has it been mapped to get that figure or did you just bolt all the goodies on

 

afaik needs mapped after major changes like turbo replaced etc!

 

Still running a 5 speed then.

I'm debating a 20g. Even had it booked in to do but my **** went because ofthe 5 speed box.

 

340BHP 314LBS/FT, VF34, EcuTek. Panel Filter, Miltek Exhaust, STI pinks(should have gone 650's) Walbro fuel pump, AVO TMI, Tubular Headers, 10% meth. Latest work done by ZEN. Future-650 injectors/ water/meth injection, Should see 350-360bhp

My car thinks it's an aeroplane

 

320BHP 300LBS/FT VF34, . Panel Filter, Full de-cat, uppipe, STI pinks, Walbro fuel pump, sti TMI, remap

 

Not a bug but all the same really....

K&N induction Kit and cold air feed
STI TMIC With DV Removed
440cc injectors (P1)
TD05 16g
Fuel pressure regulator
STI 8 6 Speed box
Prodrive Alcon 4 pot's and 330 discs
Apexi power fc ecu and controller
Apexi AVC-R Boost control
255 fuel pump
Ported headers
Ported up pipe
De cat down pipe
De cat center pipe
H&S 4.5inch back box

Well good for 340bhp

 

Yeah, but it's likely living on borrowed time, but we'll see what happens I had to upgrade the clutch though, as the standard one would get hot and bothered at the previous level (335lbft) and start slipping after some enthusiastic driving.

I don't know what kind of torque you'd get out of a 2.5 with a 20g, but it sounds like a PPG would be a worthwhile mod at that stage

 

Iv got a 53 wrx and mines on 356.9BHP and 331lbft at the moment and thats with a
TD05 18g
gt spec headers
de cat up pipe
de cat down pipe open neck
green panel fillter
sti tmic
sti injectors
Walbro fuel pump

 

Thanks for all your replies guys.

I'm in the process of modding my engine at the moment, I've done: decat uppipe, prodrive sports cat downpipe, RCM cat back, green panel filter, forge vta dump valve and a walbro fuel pump, just waiting for a Bob Rawle map, estimate to achieve somewhere 290 - 300bhp, now I've been offered a VF35 and STI injectors (not sure about CC's) which is extremely tempting, been told I could expect around 330bhp so I'm keen to find out about other peoples cars.

You may also have seen another thread I started where I mention about a mate of mine looking at an Astra VXR with 335bhp and 400torques (he reckons) so I cant let him beat me

 

If you can get a good deal on the pinks and the vf35 take them and get them fitted befor the map.

The vf35 is a cracking little turbo that spools as fast as anything out there and with the mods you have will see somewhere over the magic 300 bhp with a good slab of torque.
