August 21, 200718 yr Author True, but we are within 10 ft.lbs of torque of eachother. You'll see on Dave's graph how his torque/HP happen late in the RPM's. Thats the stock JDM V-Limited WRX computer. Now look at mine. Torque upfront where its funnest. I need to work on switching out my turbo for something different. Mine really doesn't have a topend. My car is running a Haltech E6K and has been professionally tuned by http://www.getadomtune.com Dave - Check out getting a Hydra from Dom. I think it would be a much better fit to your plans than a powerFC. Regardless of which you go with, talk to Dom about tuning it. He is a goldmine of information.
August 21, 200718 yr Tex was in some pretty sweet company. Before him was a baddass XR4Ti turbo. Beautiful noise out of the back. Couple of friggin' volvos too. I didn't stick around to ask.
August 21, 200718 yr Nice numbers guys. I notice it was on a Mustang dyno, my experiance has shown about 10-15% lower numbers from Mustang as opposed to a Dynajet or Dynapac style dyno. For compataive purposes, a friend of mine had his 100% srock 05 WRX dynoed on a Dynajet about a year and ahalf ago, the figures were 191HP, and 196ft/lbs.
August 21, 200718 yr Author On the KAS Mustang dyno a stock 2.0L WRX puts down 155-160hp at the wheels.
August 22, 200718 yr who owns that ultimate rx now? also...those are some stellar numbers, this was a swap i take it?
August 22, 200718 yr Author who owns that ultimate rx now? also...those are some stellar numbers, this was a swap i take it? I do. Both cars are EJ20G swapped with 4:11 running gear... thats about where the similarities end.
August 22, 200718 yr Volvos arent awful.. They call em "bricks" heh... I had a buddy who owned both a turbo 240, and a turbo 780 intercooled. nice enough cars, but very rare to find em in a fivespeed.. thats my biggest beef with em. Actually, right now there are two attractive lady friends of mine who count on me to care for their Volvos
August 22, 200718 yr I dont know. i had a 2000 Volvo V70R. and i would take my Subaru over that thing any day of the week... http://www.suberdave.com/volvo/volvo.htm it was more comfortable, but was an auto, and a big brick to drive... Subaru Wagon FTW!!! -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com
August 23, 200718 yr I dont know. i had a 2000 Volvo V70R. and i would take my Subaru over that thing any day of the week... Fixed your post, it now points out your problem :-p Seriously, I wouldn't touch a car this side of say, 1996, with a ten foot pole. ANY of them are too bloody big for my tastes, except for the sardine can miatas. ohhh, how glad I am for the miata; I still wouldn't buy a newer one though. Anyhow, my friends turbo bricks were both 80's cars, one an 83 and one an 89; the 83 weighed about 2900 pounds, (IIRC) and was a four door sedan MUCH more spacious than my GL-10. Very nice interior, too. I have always felt that vintage volvos were rather maligned vehicles... Like anything else, you have to be ready to work on it, but if you are it isnt SO bad.
August 28, 200718 yr I do. Both cars are EJ20G swapped with 4:11 running gear... thats about where the similarities end. ok im way late with this then. i was MIA for a bit.
