You posted this in the FA20 NA section. This would be for FR-S and BRZ which don't have the CVT.

And the rumors of the CVT breaking at 300wtq are false.

the drivetrain loss with cvt is crazy, they only make like 170-180 to the wheels vs the 230 or so the wrx manual trans makes

Bellipotens is running his CVT just fine at 310 HP/ 360 TQ

That has very little to do with the CVT itself, it's the torque converter...

yep, like I mentioned, drive-train loss is what you lose from your motor measured at crank or flywheel hp (like factory rated #'s do) to what you lose thru the parts transferring it to the ground, 2wd and 4wd cars have different losses, same w rwd or fwd, parts such as driveshaft, heavy wheels, torque converter on an auto.

we have dyno'd 2015 wrx's alot in the past year on a mustang-500, what I was saying is, the cvt wrx #'s were pretty pathetic compared to any of the manuals, after all the loss of hp before it gets to the wheels, its almost not even like a turbo cars power anymore, I mean there are v-tech crap boxes making around the same whp as a cvt 2015 wrx, I sure wouldn't waste my 28-35k on one that doesnt give me the full 230-250 or so whp from stock

its still a pos though. i mean its great that he's making that power but a wrx with cvt isn't racing anyone. its not an evox.

have you ran any cvts at your power level, or are you just talking speculation?
