This is an 04 WRX with an EQ Stage 1 Shortblock and EQ CNC Machined EJ205 heads. This car has a VF43, DW750cc injectors, and supporting mods:
While the power levels and curves are great all around, the really impressive part is in how the car tuned out, feels and drives. The new combustion chamber design allowed for a lot more timing advance in the mid range which really helped fill out the torque curve and also really helped with the extremely smooth drivability and response that these motors are exhibiting. I have tuned a lot of different hybrid setups in the past and I honestly have never felt any other hybrid drive as smoothly and consistently as these builds have been running.
Thanks

Whoa, was this with the stock Turbo? Those '09s are no joke.

^Seriously. Nice to get a graph like that after adding such few mods. No reason to be jealous of Evos anymore (with regard to $/HP increase). How dependable are they though?
- Invidia Catless TBE - $720
- Walbro Fuel Pump - $30
- Hallman Pro RX MBC - $100
- EQ Tuning Custom Tune at 18.5psi peak.
Less than $850 worth of parts...
And I'm sure it's dependable considering they're running the VF52's now instead of the TD04. I almost feel ripped off by Subaru for that lol. But oh well that's life.

As far as dependibililty, I was wondering about the drivetrain. Stage Two 2L WRX's only see like 210-220 WHP. The 09 is apparently getting almost 100 WHP/WTQ more out of a stage two setup. I'm just wondering if the gearbox, motor, etc. will last 100K miles plus with a setup like that.
I'm at 120K miles with no sign of any issues (knock on wood) and I've been stage II and autocrossing for 4 years (this will be my 5th). I'd really consider a new WRX if it's shown to be as dependable as my car has.

The transmission is supposed to be a bit stronger in the 09, but I think its too early to say how much stronger. The engine is the same ol 2.5l with same ol crappy pistons. If you're lucky, it'll hold on fine, if not a ringland can crack. That's the nature of the stock 2.5's in general.
