  • This question has been asked far too often so let's talk about it. I put together a few lists for how to make X amount of horsepower for your Subaru WRX/STI. Please note that there are plenty of ways to make horsepower however this is the list I have put together for everyone. Every tuner will tune a car differently as well but this list should get you close to your goals if not exceed them.

    Pretty accurate list for all these numbers. However, I would go with at least forged pistons if the car will make > 350 whp and will be driven hard. I'd also use a closed deck if going beyond 450 whp. I wouldn't risk cracking a sleeve after spending so much money.

  • @Gadyuzkha
    @Gadyuzkha 2 роки тому +14

    Pretty much all good information. Only recommendation: Upgrading to dual fuel pump / hangar isn't necessary until over 600whp. A single 320lph AEM will flow enough to push e85 up to ~305lph @ 600whp. Running a 2nd pump below this power level is just overpumping the system which will heat up the fuel. This is how "vapor lock" is induced as the pumps just heat the fuel during highway cruise until it gets to vapor transition point when it gets up to the warm fuel rails / engine bay. If you have a good quality ECM that can read the digital signal from the flex sensor, definitely keep an eye on fuel temps if your system is running dual pumps full time.

    • @Smeedia
      @Smeedia  2 роки тому +4

      My AEM was capping at 400WHP on E85, the fuel pump is a little over kill but running it with a Hobbs switch from Iwire should help to prevent from over feeding and over heating. Normally I kept mine around 15PSI or so. So if it needed the fuel it was there. I've seen some 450LPHs do work on E85 as well

    • @Gadyuzkha
      @Gadyuzkha 2 роки тому +1

      @@Smeedia Interesting. Most fuel flow calculators quote 300lph being able to hit 500whp on E85 no problem. I'll keep that in mind when I go in for my E85 tune in a couple months. Thanks for the heads up!

    • @Smeedia
      @Smeedia  2 роки тому +3

      The 450LPH from walbro is a killer set up for single pumps. On E85 on a single 340lph we bumped up base pressure a little to compensate and worked but wouldent advise it if you can avoid it 🔥

    Holy shit this is a lot of things needed to make more power! Just buy a Golf R guys! AWD and you can literally make 500whp with just a downpipe, hybrid turbo upgrade, tune, K&N drop in filter, intercooler, MPI, and HPFP. If you want 400whp, literally just a downpipe, tune, and E85. Done.

    • @Smeedia
      @Smeedia  2 роки тому

      For sure. Totally diffrent animals, but gets very expensive quickly getting a Golf R to Big turbo STI Levels. Definitely trade offs. The R would be a better 400-450WHP car over the STI. But I also prefer the subarus AWD system to the golf's

    • @JacesOwnWorld
      @JacesOwnWorld 2 роки тому +1

      @@Smeedia yes, that’s the big downfall of the Golf R’s AWD system. It’s mostly FWD until AWD is needed. The MK8 Golf R is now RWD biased, but it should’ve been like that the whole time. The STI’s AWD is a lot better, and it also gives you the adjustments for the diff which is cool. Overall, the STI is a much more raw AWD car, but it sucks how much you have to put into it to make it fast and reliable.
