I watched an article on the 06 STI Spec C Type RA-R it said the car produces 320 bhp and 432nm torque. Being a newbie modder with these cars how and what is used to create this amount of torque say compared to the jdm hawkeye which I have.
Sorry to sound like an idiot but just not got much experience with modding cars, slowly learning

 

Don't forget that 432Nm is around 318lb ft in 'proper' money lol.

Very close numerical bhp and lb ft is par for the course on a turbo'd 2.5L (is an '06 Spec C RA-R a 2.5L?).

You'd get a little less torque on the turbo'd 2.0L, though...

 

see told ya im an idiot lol
its a 2.0l and also whats the formula for nm into lb
so really they r pretty similar to the spec c with a few cosmetic mods and suspension?

 

Type of turbo and it's boost characteristics/headers/uppipe/rest of exhaust system/fuel + mapping will influence whether more or less torque is achieved. The Spec C is probably fitted with pretty 'torque'-oriented hardware.



Nm divided by 1.357 (easy to remember - odd number sequence!) = lb ft

 

my 06 WRX 2.5 is running 280 bhp and 461nm

next week it will be 350 plus bhp and 550 nm plus

its all down to mapping and mods

 

550 nm sounds SO much cooler than 360 ft.lb....

IMHO

dunx

P.S. Real men drive cars with 550 ft.lb's LOL

 

my 07 wrx is running 300 bhp with 340 ft/lb torque on 2.5 turbo which produces alot more torque than 2ltr turbo engine
