Ya that was kind of jumbled my bad.

But I just meant that there really isn't anything you can do to a N/A impreza to make it faster without spending a ton of money to turbo it.

that's 370bhp not whp.

A stock sti has about 305 bhp, and the parts I put on (and the tune) are rated to produce another 60-80bhp. I haven't put it on a dyno yet, so I have no idea how much whp it puts out, but I'm guessing its around 300, maybe a tiny bit more.

bhp is measured at the crank on an engine dyno, whp is measured at the wheels on a chassis dyno. I've never had it on either one, but the parts I bought are rated to tack on that much more bhp... I just know how to do addition.

Next you should learn subtraction. As in, you should subtract those terrible tails, mudflaps, and stickers from your car because they look like shit.

it doesnt work like that, you dont just add up the companies alleged hp for each product

More importantly bhp doesnt mean shit, if you really want to go bragging about how powerful your car is spend 100 dollars and get a dyno sheet, maybe you will be able to actually tune it when you are there as well

Does it? Or does it seem like he got called out for being a fucking moron and quickly googled something like "bhp vs whp"?

Hint: It's the latter

Haha dude you're acting like I think I'm some kind of pro tuner. Of course I'm not. I drove an automatic Volvo station wagon for 5 years, and then got this car and was stoked on it so I put some money into it.

Everyone needs to calm the fuck down.

If I am wrong, how else should I interpret an actual expert (the actual tuner who I talked to at P&L, and purchased most of the parts from) telling me that these would be the power gains? Are you really more of an expert than him?

If so, please enlighten all of us.

Horsepower numbers don't mean shit. Any time someone tries to brag about how much power their car has on paper, it is a sure sign they should be ignored. "Brroooo, my new intake adds like...6 horses at the wheels, bro!" Awesome! Unfortunately, you're still getting your ass whooped by stock Miatas at the track. Oh, what's that? You've never even been to a track? I didnt think so.

First off never trust a salesman, he'll literally tell you anything to sell his parts - that's his job

You're only wrong in your interpretation of what the salesman is telling you. He probably said something like "these mods will add lots of horsepowerz" and then you go and turn around and tell everyone "look at all the horses I got!!"

It is a sick car though..congrats you're gonna have a fucking blast with it

Soooo so much hate in here.

For those of you who seem so concerned, do the research. Shit, call Jake at P&L and ask him if you want. He's a nice dude.


@AR6rider, track star, F1 driver, pro tuner, internet extraordinaire; you need to find a new hobby my man. You come off as pretty fucking pathetic.

It's a slow day at work. The only thing I would be "taking time out of" is spinning around in my chair or reading various car/gun forums. I'm not too concerned about whether or not you think that makes me a child.

What's the shop you purchased the parts from. And what was the tuners name. There is a damn good chance that yes I am more qualified to talk about the subject because yes I do in fact tune cars for money. I have worked on MAF, MAP, Speed Density, Group N roms, etc.

Currently I run a Group N based speed density rom that runs antilag, launch control, even per gear boost and wastegate compensation. My car is a hybrid built 2003 wrx with a 2009 sti 2.5l ej257 short block. Creating almost 10:1 compression ratio pushing out 330whp on a vf39 turbo. I bet it spools up faster than your dick gets hard when you see your first pair of titties.
