So this is my 2009 WRX, unfortunately only have the one photo right now taken by ADZ@OCDetailing.



Has been a reliable daily for over two years in it's stock form, but peer pressure to get into amateur motorsports meant some mods are due to stiffen the car up as well as some go fast bits.

My goal is to get maximum torque rather than outright power out of the stock VF52 turbo and hopefully call it a day

Anyway the current mod list is as follows..


Suspension Stuff (getting installed today )
-----------------
Perrin 25mm rear sway bar
Perrin end links
Whiteline KCA326 control arm upper bushings
Whiteline KCA334 anti-lift kit
BC BR coilovers

Engine Stuff
------------
Stock VF52
Stock Injectors
GSC 272 intake/exhaust cams, 10.5mm intake lift, 10.2mm exhaust lift
Supertech beehive valve springs
AEM cold air intake
Blitz SBC i-color boost controller (2nd hand, turns out the solenoid is stuffed)
Process West TMIC
Turbosmart kompact bypass valve
Ultrex 3" SS turbo back exhaust
Exedy HD clutch
Walbro fuel pump

Wheels
-------
Stock 2009 Rims
Toyo Proxes CF1, 235/45/17 for daily duties


Yet to be installed
------------------
Kartboy short shifter and shifter bushings
Ferodo DS2500 pads
Goodridge braided brake lines
Grimmspeed 3port boost solenoid


So off to ASG I went (28/6) and Cash & Sean did their magic and two weeks later came out with the following:



Peak Power: 263 HP
Peak Torque: 374 Nm

I was dreaming for around 280HP and 400Nm but given that the solenoid was stuffed and the stock one was used, boost tapered off from 4800rpm which may have accounted for these numbers.

I do like the fat torque curve, the car goes and pulls hard from 3500.

Hopefully with the new boost solenoid the boost will hold more longer and I'll have abit more gain up top. Also hoping Sean can play with the torque curve a bit more.

Never the less, very happy with how it pulls right now and after the suspension bits goes in, it should drive even better.

Will get to test it out properly at the first no limits event coming up next month.


Thanks for reading

That's good numbers!
My 09 pulled I think 252hp and 391nm with only an XForce turbo back exhaust! Keen to see it out!
I miss my 09!!

Welcome aboard. Nice mods and car colour. I got similar numbers when Sean tuned my betty.

Welcome dude,

Nice figures indeed! I'm running a vf34 and only getting 236hp. What boost are you running at?

Those are nice numbers for the amount of mods guys
hah now I'm jealous..


18-19psi from 3400 - 4800 rpm.. then it drops off quite fast.

So all my suspension bits went in yesterday and its a night and day difference in how the car drives. Body roll is almost all gone and the nose does not lift during acceleration.

There is some increase NVH which is probably from the new bushes?

Also I forgot to tell them what setting to put the sway bar on, its currently on the stiffest one and feels quite tail happy around corners which I may change to a softer setting.

Hey!

Look at that reflection :P

More importantly, go get some more photos! Good to have a photo documentary of the car and it's progress.

Tasteful mods though, will make a world of difference with the overall 'feel' of driving the car.

Remember those figures where from before the dyno was callabrated to be more of a heart breaker that it is now!

Mine was tuned back in 2011 so the car was newer then too! Was done at ASG

Hey adam, been awhile since you've cleaned her up!

Will need you to come around once the bank funds recover


my numbers are slightly heart breaking indeed... but the bum dyno suggests otherwise and its an awesome drive now so that's what counts i guess
