CLeGalley Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Wasn't sure if this was the correct room for this post, a mod can move it if needed... Anyway, I was bored and came across [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeKOJfy-rKU]this video[/ame] on youtube. If you can't view the video it is a stage II 08 WRX during a tuning session that puts down 352awtq / 244awhp vs. 224awtq / 189awhp stock. Where are those astronomical torque numbers coming from? From all the searching I've been doing on this board the past few days trying to learn and familiarize myself with the basics I haven't come across any LGT's put down similar numbers. I was curious if this is a characteristic of the new 08's or not? I'm not at all trying to bash the LGT in anyway, just simply curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpawnGT Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 The main reason for the high TQ and HP is becuase of DYNOFLASH...they do alot of stuff to make your car go fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 The main reason for the high TQ and HP is becuase of DYNOFLASH...they do alot of stuff to make your car LOOK fast ON PAPER. was it an Auto tranny? that'll inflate the TQ numbers too Blaming the "plastic POS BOV" just shows how much they are catering to people who don't know any better My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpawnGT Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 let me make one more point at 330AM in the morning....DYNO FLASH has another video where they say "we swapped the WRX turbo and put in a LEGACY GT turbo" They must be geniouses. Just becuase they got 430 out of a GT30R Legacy GT, doesnt mean they always know what they are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSFW Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 The adjustable intake and exhaust valve timing is probably worth something, but I bet the Dynoflash dyno calibration adds even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 ^^ only the STi has it on the intake side My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSFW Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 ITYM exhaust side. But still, I stand corrected. I thought they both had both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deimos Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Is there a dyno plot? You can have 10 million wtrq, but if its just a 100 rpm peak who cares, what does the curve look like? Sounds like wayy more torque than should be normal, unless its the torque converter inflating the numbers or more has been done to the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLeGalley Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 It's a 5MT in the video. There's only a few moments where the camera shows the dyno plot on screen, it looks like the torque sky rockets and peaks at approx 2800 RPM and then steadily falls (a lot) to redline.

SubLo Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Those numbers sound way off to begin with if they're quoting peak - I highly doubt it. Secondly, HP is a function of Torque not the other way around. Torque is measured while HP is calculated (work over time). Therefore, HP numbers will increase dramatically the higher an engine can rev. Like others have said, sounds like relatively low RPM numbers. Bug again, these numbers seem suspect. ________________________________________________ [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1980"]'05 BSM OBXT Row-your-own, W.I.P. :rolleyes:[/URL] [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1242"]'06 Shrek B # 64 - The car the wife loved to hate :( Sold...[/URL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubLo Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I don't know. Something seems askew here. Can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's an insane (and not contributing to logevity) tune. Who knows.
