Aren't they (WRX & STI) something like 250-300 hp stock? Did you ever dyno it? Its probably pushing 350 hp.JackANSI wrote:lonewolf wrote:What kind of motor do you have that requires 93 octane?JackANSI wrote:On topic, I have played around with running my car on E-85. You really have to mess with things to get a good tune, but when you hit that butter zone, E-85 is pretty potent.
But the cost per mile was close enough to what I was getting on 93 octane, so I stayed with the more available fuel (93).
WRX/STI 2.5 hybrid, wrx heads sti short block. loaded with CP pistons @ 9:1 CR. 93 makes it happy.

with awd it's hard to find dynos. last time with the 2.0l was at 331whp@23psi. last time with 2.5l was only 242whp but with 9psi.. or roughly what an Sti does on 14psi.
sometime soon I'll strap the 20g back on and see what 23 pounds does on 2.5l.
I need to swap the clutch for something stronger. when I first got it back together in 2.5l trim I was just burning the clutch (act hd) with the 20g @ 15 psi (wastegate pressure)
