2007 WRX TR Stage 2 Tuned vs. Stock

[BG @ BrenTuning]

Freak 2007 WRX I wanted to share with everyone. I am not sure why the results are so high. I was surprised I re-did the logs/pulls, tried a different road strips, and got all results within 2hp each pull every single time. My only idea is that it was really cold tonight (40 degrees). We use exact altitude, vehicle weight, and temperature for each road dyno, zero manipulation.

Graph vs. stock 2007 wrx in the airboy default.

Invidia catless downpipe to Invidia G200 Exhaust
FORGE UNOS mbc @ 16.5 psi peak.
Otherwise stock!

Geez, looks like he/she won't be needing a VF39 anytime soon :rofl:

I think you;ll yield a few more HP than 253 with a VF39 (at leats 50 depending on the tune) when are u going down ti get your tD04 tuned??
Those are some real nice numbers though off the TD04. no dought :)

Keep in mind those are airboy numbers. It's calculated, not measured. The thing to compare on there is the stock reference to the tuned. I think +50hp between that and a dyno would be much, but the torque is huge on there. I have a feeling that's more of a factory monster engine vs the turbo though.

As for me getting tuned, very soon. I wanna get my brakes squared away first (being able to stop is more important then being able to go after all :lol:), but the car definitely needs to get tuned BADLY.

And on a side note, reply to my SMS lol :lol:

I undertsand how these numbers work man...

You;ll still notice a signifigant difference in power up grading to a VF30/39/43/48 pver the TD04. But.... having the quick blast of tq with make the car much more fun as a daily driver.

Biggest thing that i noticed is how easy i make TQ on the VF and how long it hold making that tq. At 5400 rpm i;m still nearly making 100 ft lbs more tq at te wheels. In no way am i knocking this tune..... it's awesome to say the least!!! uograding to a little larger turbo becomes even more fun :)

I'll be curious to see how my car turns out. May help me to not want to do an interim turbo swap as much.

Speaking of which, hey Bren, have you tuned any fairly stock cars (stage 2 + some type of IC, or just stock IC), with a Blouch TD04-19T upgrade by chance? And if so, do you happen to have a chart?

Well from what ive seen Rob is right about the 50hp difference..heres an example...
2007 WRX Stg 2
http://efilogics.com/dyno/graph.php?gb=0&hp=1&torque=1&rpm=1&sl=1&sln=1&runid1=288&rgb1=000000255

And heres a 2007 WRX with a VF39...

Please remember this is for a reference and both are different cars and whatnot..

VF's are by far my choice for cheap bolt on's the graphs look way different.

I have not, but would love too. It's a rare-ish upgrade.

i don't have any explanation for it, this car was very very strong stock too.

[BG @ BrenTuning]

I'm going to try to put this car on a dynapack this weekend if time allows

[Demetry]

let us know if you do! I'm interested...

Well, give it a month or two and maybe we can make that happen... :D

Here is my graph below with the VF39 spiking to 20lbs and holding at 18lbs. Every car is different and every dyno is different and a dyno should really be used a a tuning tool not for bragging rights. I think Bren is amazing and on hell of a guy that really takes care of his customers just about more than any other business in my opinion and my hat is off to him :)

Love the VF39 setup on the 06+ 2.5L's and JR is very good at what he does (a long time acquaintance of mine)

Thanks for the compliments.
