Default Motion Lab Tuned 2005 Outback XT 257whp/275wtq family battle wagon!

Shop: Motion Lab Tuning
Dyno Type: DynoCom FX5000-AWD
Boost: 20psi
Fuel: 93OCT
Target AFR: 11:1
SAE Corrections: Default Corrections
Peak HP at RPM: 257whp @ 5750 RPMs
Peak Torque at RPM: 275wtq @ 4300 RPMs
Transmission: Stock 5speed
Gear: 3rd
Engine Management: Cobb AccessPort
Engine/Power Modifications:

  • 16G Turbocharger
  • Invidia high flow catted downpipe
  • Stock cat-back
  • K&N intake kit
  • Tomei Header and up-pipe

This is a little bit more unique car that we did recently using the Cobb AP speed density software. It was a 2005 Outback XT with a few bolt on mods. He upgraded the turbocharger to a 16g, added in a nice Invidia HFC downpipe, and Tomei header/up-pipe combo to free up the exhaust system. He still had the stock catback though! I think that, and the OEM TMIC, was the only thing keeping this car from seeing 300AWHP/320AWTQ like most of our other 16g equipped subarus. He said he wanted to hang with mustangs.... I dunno about the new 5.0 but most things before that should get a little surprise from this family wagon.

Final HP/TQ Graph:

Definitely. I would expect a big pick-up at the same boost level with those components swapped out. Typically we see about 300whp as I mentioned before out of our 16G equipped EJ motors.

It would help tremendously! The OEM intercoolers definitely leave a lot to be desired. Hell even an STi TMIC would be a big benefit versus the little ol' WRX intercooler, haha.

The OE intercooler is smaller than some oil coolers. However, please tell your customer to read my threads on fitment issues on the OXT with a particular brand of TMIC if they look to upgrade (*cough*, Perrin). It would be very cool to see a re-tune of this platform changing only the TMIC (in other words, get them to do it soon before it starts getting warmer out!).

Haha I will see what I can do!

You are totally right about the OE intercoolers though. We just finished doing a custom oil cooler set-up for a 370z using a setrab 34row oil cooler. It puts the WRX intercooler to shame!
