Dyno

had my wagon tuned by dominic acia on kito’s mustang dyno this afternoon. did several pulls and though some were higher this was the smoothest.

dyno plot of my modified 2007 subaru wrx wagon

weather corrected, best run results:

254.9 whp at 5906rpm
286.0 wtq at 3089rpm

for comparison a stock sti makes 229 on this dyno. it’s known to report really low numbers.

for fun, using the ratio (stock sti sae ratings/stock sti dyno results) on my dyno numbers puts my car at approx. 329hp / 366ft lbs.

Rally bred

hopefully this one will last a bit longer than the si. after much research and deliberation I settled on a new subaru wrx wagon. for a long time i was daydreaming about the 2001 audi s4 avant. with a twin-turbo v6 that car is a lot of fun and quite comfy to boot. but after considering all the permutations, practicality won out this go around. all wheel drive and 5 doors make it a substantial improvement over my old car. don’t be fooled by the wagon part though… by the time i’m done with her she’ll run toe to toe with any sti!
