I'm very happy with it, great torque and super smooth on pump gas.

My friend tuned it for many hours at ATP and also on the road, and today I brought it in to Gruppe-S to see what it put down there.

 

sweet. any more mods planned ?

 

nope, I'm prolly going to leave it as is.

my car used to ping with the stock ECU on 91 pump gas, so eliminating that was my primary concern, in addition to maximizing the torque with a really smooth, safe and conservative tune.

 

AYE! the torque curve on the Suckah!!!!

 

Yeah man, it just pulls!!

plus its smooth like an electric motor, all the way to the top...

loving it!

 

Are you running a full TBE or just a cat-back?

 

Those are pretty similar to my numbers less the tq spike at the beginning.

here's the comparison on the same dyno:




this one was the baseline done a few days earlier:

 

I hope you didn't pay for 2 ftlbs of torque, and delayed spool

 

only a cat-back and panel filter

 

I have an STi, the torque is a lot higher.

 

so do i, but mine is stock, with just a tune

 

who is your tuner and what dyno is that from?

 

ahh, I had no idea.

yeah all I have a 70mm (2.75") catback and a higher flowing panelfilter.

you need to get a quiet catback man, the STi system is about as restrictive as the stock WRX stuff.

 

That was mike @ gruppe-s

He did exactly what i wanted him to do, move the powerband over and smooth out the curve. The response is awsome and unlike before, it pulls to redline. I couldn't be happoer with the results.

I don't plan on getting any catback or exhaust. Just maybe an intake and a nice coilover set with some swaybars with a good alignment. A few littel things, but nothing powerwise.

 

Thought I should clear something up with the above dyno graph, this was the very last run on Reid's car after 15 pulls back to back no fans etc as he asked for something that would withstand a heavy tracking abuse.

If people still have doubts and Reid is ok I will post some of the graphs were we actually did allow airflow all of which I believe to be in the 237-245whp range with 240+ftlbs.
