right now I am at 235whp and torque (on shiv's dyno, stock sti's make ~215 from what I was told) and my mods are as follows:

TBE
Pinks
Vishnu Reflash and Tuning
and a VF series turbo (which one I have no idea, any help is greatly appreciated)
uppipe

my goal is about 35-50 more horspower. I want to get there on a VF turbo if capable OR at least a bolt on turbo. What else would be needed?

Change thread title to add Shiv's dyno

How do you not no what turbo you have?????? look on it and see what it sayes. Um you need a uppipe ,header, fuelpump, and bigger intercooler. and a re tune.

depends what kind of dyno your running on but at least a fuelpump, uppipe, intercooler, vf22 and a reflash.

forgot to put that i have an uppipe.

I bought the car with the turbo and the markings I am unable to see.

Added the Boost and A/F plot to see if that helps determine what turbo I have. I looked and I can see the markings, but I cannot make out what they say.

considering that a stg 4 is only making 235 on that dd dyno. a larger turbo is needed for your goal. 20g or bigger.

That seems low for a vf series turbo on Vishnu's dyno. I pust down 250whp on Vishnu's dyno with a vf22. 250whp is about the average for a vf series turbo on Vishnu's dyno. Did Shiv mention if there was something wrong or why you werent hitting 250whp?

He told me that he is not sure what turbo I have but that it is not a VF34. He mentioned that a Vf34 reaches peak torque higher in the RPMs and makes about 15 more whp. He also said that the A/F leaning out may be just a faulting reading (he says he has seen it before) and not it actually leaning out. Told me to make sure I have a fuel pump and if it has any problems to bring it back. Real nice guy though, gets the thumb up from me.

I almost forgot, the guy right before me dynoed 250whp.

Anyone make ~275-285 on Shiv's dyno with a 2.0 suby?

if your going for dyno numbers i would find another tuner

Please elaborate. I went to him because he is local and the previous owner told me I had a stage 2 kit from vishnu. I really could care less about what the numbers say on his dyno, but I want about 50 more hp.

perhaps you have a vf39??? take a picture of the front of the turbo up close if you can and post it on here... we'll try to help you identify it... perhaps it could be a vf35??

Just go to almost any other dyno and your numbers will go up probably at least 15%...LOL

I know. :( But I am not going for numbers, I am really just looking to get 40-50 more whp.

What would you need the pic of? I can take some tomorrow. It is just hard as heck to get in there and see the writing on the compressor housing.

why don't you ask your tuner?

HAHAHA! Damn I should have done that first. I figured it out already though. :D

i know shiv is not known for high numbers but tunes for drivablity. I would talk to shiv and if he can't help you, find someone else

you're silly

why dont you get an alky inj. system, you can run higher psi cause the alky actually cools down your cylenders. you could hit 300 with that and a tune. i think it matters how much you abuse your car too. it wont last long a 300hp with a rough driver...

Shiv put down 293whp on a dynojet with my 02 wrx and vf30 on pump gas. With 104 octane thrown in i put down 306whp and ran a 12.6@112. Just food for thought.

Get someone else to tune it and maybe you'll get the numbers you want.

look at the start date of this thread

CALENDARS in teh y0ur b0x0r???

Since this thread is over 3 months old I wondered what happened...

The goal was 55-70whp over stock on pump gas. Just a good reflash should get 30. A reflash and TBE should get 60. And a reflash, intake, and exhaust should get 60-80. (For consistency these numbers are all from pdxtuning threads.)

I'd say those numbers are pretty close then.
