Well the day has finally come!! After a bunch of stupid little problems and my last clutch going out on the dyno in August my swap is offically protuned. Tune was done by none other than Mike @ Gruppe-S (thanks again). Everything went well this time and my car produced decent power for the mods I have. Driving impressions are I notice a quicker throttle response and it pulls nice and smooth to redline, gets up to speed before I even realize it! So much more fun to drive now hehe Now on to the details....

1999 RS
02 WRX motor swap (currently 52,xxx miles on it)
NGK colder plugs
Helix uppipe
Perrin catted downpipe
3'' custom mid
Brullen muffler
Vishnu crank pulley
Ebay TMIC (ssautochrome)

This all got me:

209.7whp @ 5750rpm
211.9wtq @3750rpm

...and a lot of useable power

now on to the graph

 

sounds good Jeff, now i wanna ride and feel the difference from before

-Ave

 

mm good looking numbers. +1 for mike

 

that must be fun on a bun

now you need a VF39 , hit me up!!

 

for 91 octane very nice numbers and power curve dude

 

That is almost identical to mine (graph and mods). Sweet!

My car went in running like sh*t, so Mike didnt want to "do anything crazy". Im still very pleased. WIth your light RS, it must be wicked fun.

 

Just curious, how much did it cost you to do the swap? Ballpark figure.

You can pm me if you want. thanks

 

pm'd ya wrx360

here's current engine bay shot for fun

I think I might be one of the first who have installed this Ebay tmic on a gc? Anyone know if any other swapped guys have tried running this one..?

 

that's clean, I am planning on an STi swap motor/tranny next Christmas for my 01 RS. I hope to get my suspension and big break kit before then. how much did yours cost when you were completely done.

 

Congrats on the protune! I bet that little car soars now!

 

Nice!!! + for Mike, swaps and blue RS coupes!

Can you PM me too on the cost and smoggability factor? I was planning on spending the money on a new wagon but it seems like the last SGM '06 wag just sold last night.

 

Me too or you could just post it up here im interested on how much it was

 

I just noticed you were able to fit a front tower bar on the car, with that huge intercooler! Nice!

 

Yea it fit in there but it was grinding it down on the left side so I took it out. I'll have to go with a different bar eventually.

 

Even more impressive considering this was on the Gruppe-S dyno.
