October 26, 201510 yr What are u saying tidgy do I need a different subaru engine.? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk As said on the next few posts yes mate. 700bhp from a subaru engine is extremely high and is unlikely to last more than 5-10k miles before needing a refresh if it actualy gets to that level. Lets try this a different way What's the most power impreza you've been in?
October 26, 201510 yr gives us a starting point then :) 700bhp for road use is too much imo, mines been speced up for about 550bhp and that will be daft tbh i suspect 500 will give you what you want. hoe to get there is the question. Just to clarify a few points, It's a road use car will you be doing drag runs? will you be doing track days? to put it into context, this car is mid 600's and while lighter than yours by a way is no use on the road at all, Also be warry of american tuning figures claiming 600+ etc tend to find they arn't anywhere near that in our figures
October 26, 201510 yr Author No won't b doing any track days or drags.its just my toy for the weekend. The reason for the thread is my car has already had mods done 2 it.using alot of aps parts and I have an aps magazine here and they sell the dr65 turbo 2 produce 700bhp at the flywheel.like I said I haven't the best knowledge in tuning and wounder what other upgrade would be needed for this turbo.i suppose 700bhp is a bit much for the roads.but I would like to get it a little higher.500 550 would be nice.

Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Assuming the pics you put up are your engine then you wont get there. A semi open deck block wont do 700bhp without shatting itself im afraid :( APS are just bolt on bits and mega expensive for what they are IMO, to get high power figures you need an engine speced from the block upwards, literally every part internal will need to be speced for it, balanced crank, rods, pistons, heads would need to be speced to take it as well valves. As suggested i would decide what tuner you want to use and take advice from them. Just be aware there a re very few tuner out there who regularly build big power cars. Only two i would want to use for something like that would be Scoobyclinic or Enginetuner.
October 26, 201510 yr Author Brill thanks for info. Do u think engine is capable of 500 550 bhp. And could my boost b turned up at the moment it's on 1.0 1.1 bar boost. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
October 26, 201510 yr Something doesnt sound right with that tbh, 400bhp on 1.0 bar of boost seems way too low boost for that power, got a dyno graph or anything like that?
October 26, 201510 yr Author Yea I was thinking the same thing have a dyno pring out of 402.9 bhp and 360ft lbs of torque. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
October 26, 201510 yr tbh i think you need to go see a specialist, have a dyno run and see where your at then decide the route you go.
October 26, 201510 yr Author Yea think that's the best option.thanks for the advice. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
October 26, 201510 yr no probs, its all a bit of a mine field and just picking a figure is never a good idea. After about 450bhp you'll struggle to use all the power anyway and a well setup 450bhp car will be quicker than a 550bhp throw a big turbo at it car.
