A stock STI pulls 235-245whp and 250-260wtq on the Dynojet I was dynoing my Forester (dynosheet a few posts above). Power mods are: Stock USDM STI TMIC, gutted(cattless) stock uppipe, TD06-16G protuned by Jarrad @ PDX, TurboXS stealthback, 2.5" Prodrive axelback. Oh, and 255lph Walbro gas pump.

^^It's nice to have someone to compare boost and AFR to. Your modified XT seems to be tuned very well considering a nice A/F ratio with your upped boost pressure.

I just got my FXT dynoed today and the numbers were astonishing! My Forester XT with STi power made 271 WHP and 281 TQ (no lie). A stock STi with 1,500 miles on the odo made ~210 WHP and another STi with 11,000 miles on the odo made 225 WHP just an hour after I ran on the same dyno. By the way, I'm running with a stock STi ECU w/ VF39 and IC: fuel pump and spark plugs are stock FXT.

Hi there, ref your previous post - note that in the UK dyno figures/printout are 'at the crank' - with most dynos measuring a power loss figure - calculated on the run down after the power run* - the crank figures are usually some 20-25% higher than the power at the wheels figures for Subarus .
FWIW - the max power at the wheels on my fsti came out at 217KW - so you are doing equally well to get 211KW with just bolt-ons from the aussie EJ255 - a good mapper at work - plus that AVO turbo appears to give big power.

*IIRC Dyno dynamics rollers don't have this facility and can only work to manually inputted 'fixed' percentage power losses - which obviously isn't as 'accurate' and has to be estimated for each type of car - I think this is probably why most aussie figures are quoted in PAW - as that is the most accurate thing to measure - you must forgive us pommies for our eccentricities - like we still use BHP and lbft despite going metric in the 70s!
I assume that the DD rollers you use are set to shootout mode?

cheers,

Paul W

Here's mine - done yesterday at Powerstation in Tewkesbury. I'm afraid I have no clue about these things so if you guys could give some pointers on what looks good/bad that would be great.
It's a MY06 2.5 FXT - engine mods are 3" Milltek turbo back system, VF39 Turbo, 255lph Walbro Fuel Pump and Tek3 remap. Unfortunately I couldn't get the upgraded intercooler on so had to stick with the oem one but plan to upgrade asap.
Cheers
Pete

Pete - those figures are not too shabby at all
420 nm equates to 310lb/ft of torque - and it is coming in before 4k revs.
Powerstation's maha system always gives those odd looking power loss figures - so don't be distracted by those.
both torque and BHP curves look good - I imagine that kind of increase is pretty noticeable + you will now have the armageddon sound of the miltek - so get those windows wound-down and find a tunnel to go through!
Its good that they changed the fuel pump for you - as the stock one would have been too stressed.

fwiw - I don't think the FSTI intercooler would make too much difference - better to put the bigger intercooler from a WRX STI on instead.

Have you fitted an sti panel filter yet ? - if you are changing things before another remap I would recommend it - though don't change from standard air box - induction kits are a waste of time/money and map will be better with just the sti panel filter anyway.

Hi Paul - thanks for the info..
They fitted a piper cross filter for me although I've got an Sti panel filter coming so might change them over.

Have been toying with putting an Impreza Sti Intercooler on - had probs yesterday with the forester Sti intercooler as the VF39 has a different angle on the exit and the plastic y pipe wasn't flexible enough to fit on.
Looking out now to see what the US Sti uses and can adapt it for the Fsti one I have or get an Impreza one..

I haven't had much chance to play with it yet but it certainly pulls much stronger ! Will let you know how it goes..
Cheers
Pete

Anyone with a base 04 or 05 XT compared to just the AP Stage I? Curious if Cobbs numbers on their website is accurate for nothing more than Stage I

Just got mine finished today after blowing out a gasket on Friday in between the header and the uppipe. This is with a FP green boosting to 18psi, tapering to 17 at redline. Apparently the AP and the Perrin boost solenoid (EBCS) simply would not let it boost more than that. Tune was by Jarrad at PDX (he flew down to Houston to tune). Interestingly enough, I have the full 18psi on the green anywhere in between 3200-3300rpm. And that's with a header. The top gear pull in 5th from 65mph is very strong.

I think the first post has my baseline dyno run so I got ~120whp with my combination. Anyone want to start a timer on how long it takes to blow out the tranny? PPG gears are next.

I think it all depends on how you drive. I beleive Frank's gearbox is still stock an in one piece (knocking on wood). Congratulations on the good numbers. How much turbo lag do you have now? If you ever driven a stock 2.0 WRX can yu compare it with that?

I've never driven a 2.0. If you punch it at 2000 rpm it isn't that great, but neither was the stocker. I'd say anywhere around 2800 rpm and up feels at least as quick as stock (of course pulling very strong up top).
