Mods -3" helix catless downpipe -3" boral hush -crappy $40 shortram intake -and a tune Base run with cobbs off the shelf stg 2 map v110 93oct yielded -265whp and 274wtq I always knew cobbs off the shelf maps were not very good on sti's. Run two was Topspeeds 93 oct protune map that yielded -293whp and 355wtq Basically a 30whp and 80wtq gain over the base mpa. Horsepower is about what i expected, torque #'s were higher then expected. I was shooting for the same torque numbers on 100 oct. Run three was Topspeeds 100 oct protune that yielded -307whp and 363wtq The horsepower was again what i expected, but the torque was alittle lower then expected. Overall the 100 oct map gained roughly 15whp and 8lb/ft of torque. Doesnt sound like big gains, but remember this. The 100 oct tune cost $50, most of us spend upwards of $150-250 on an intake alone...which doesnt net more then 5 whp. So in my opinion the 100 octane map is very worth it. Not many mods are as cheap as it is and gain as much hp. Think of a mod that gives you as much gain as your dowpipe did for 50 bucks, its worth it. I am very pleased with my results, and another big thanks to Blue Box for the help. Graph will be posted when topspeed emails them to me.
nice numbers dude... so are you running stock TMIC and turbo(td04)? you may wanna lose the shortram... you'll prob get more tq. (grrrrr.... MUST....resist...2.5...purchase...)
Lol...this is an sti(hence why it says 05 sti in the title), everything else is stock minus what i mentioned.
Here is your graph. Run#1 Baseline pull with the Cobb Stage2 map Run#5 TopSpeed Protuned 93 octane Run#11 TopSpeed Protuned 100octane
it took me reading through it twice to figure out it actually was an STi. You might want to change your ride on your profile....i was like 355wtq on a wrx??? Then looked at the title and realized it was an STi. Congrats on the great numbers though
