The abridged version: rod knock on my '05 WRX w/ 2.0L (stage 2 Cobb OTS map) = 2.5L hybrid build. Machines Gone Wild in Kendal did the build. 319.50hp, 293.90 torque at 16 PSI (very conservative tune).



Specs:

2.5L Hybrid setup

New stock parts: clutch disc, timing belt, oil pump, v-belt, accessory belt, water pump

Got a retune and the only changes are as follows:

STi Oil Pan w/KillerB Oil Pickup
Kartboy Pitchstop
More Boost (was 16PSI, now 19PSI)



Old dyno results: 318.85whp, 288.37trq (16PSI, Temp: 87.90F, 41% humidity)

Both were on the same DynoJet and done by the same tuner, who also built my block (Gregg of Machines Gone Wild). The car has almost 85K miles and the block has 24K.

319.50HP, 293.90Torque

Very conservative tune at 16PSI, my tuner said she had plenty left...but still got the stock tranny so we decided to stop there.

Drives like a bat out of hell...power every where, just NASTY!

Dyno Chart to follow.

glad your done goodluck with the car. quick question though being that the blouch 18g has the 8cm turbine housing is it laggy at all?

Not really, if there is any I can't tell...it feels way way more powerful than stage 2 2.0L at every part of the power band and in every gear and pulls hard all the way to redline. The best part is its still fairly low boost and a conservative tune, so there is definitely more untapped power to make in the future....But, the tranny upgrade will have to come 1st.

[NjBuGeyEdWRX]

yea you are at low psi the 18gs can run up to 28 psi so there is deff alot more power there. but yea a tranny would be a good idea first

See Post #1 for my dyno chart.

Almost 300hp until 7000rpm....thats what Cams dones folks, very little drop off at the higher RPMs.

[MiLaB21]

nice numbers, goodluck with it!!
