eldrego Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 stage 2 is slow. I'm starting to see what you meant BMX, even though I've gotten the chance to smoke a lot of cars over the past few weeks, I'm starting to crave more powa! I guess I've gotten use to it now. The mod itch is becoming overwhelming... but... must... resist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Donated thefultonhow Posted May 29, 2012 I Donated Share Posted May 29, 2012 Stock 2012 WRX ~= Stage 1 05-09 LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Stock 2012 WRX ~= Stage 1 05-09 LGT. That's pretty amazing what stage 2 would be then considering the WRX 2012 has 265 HP and curb weight is 3252 lbs vs. 3500 lbs for an OBXT manual trans (values found on cars101.com). Man the new impreza is ugly IMHO. It's like a mix between a hyundai, kia, and a corolla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LGT sedan is 3300 lbs. I've always equated Stage 2 to around stock STI power levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 The LGT sedan is 3300 lbs. I've always equated Stage 2 to around stock STI power levels. Actually just saw on cars101 that the LGT sedan automatic trans is 3535 lbs vs. 3365 for the manual. That's surprising that an LGT with Auto is about as heavy as an OBXT (3500 for MT/3565 for Auto).

DeltaNu1142 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 It IS pretty incredible how amazing the difference between stage 0 and stage 2 is... and then how quickly you forget that difference after driving around for a while at stage 2...

mbazzano88 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hey how is your intercooler holding up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators BarManBean Posted May 30, 2012 Moderators Share Posted May 30, 2012 Are you for reals? I'm completely for reals. I have to caveat my drive with the fact that it was still in break in mode, so nothing above 4k rpms. It's not a power/weight issue (I'm assuming), it's the power curve. They need a tune BAD. The turbo doesn't spool up until what feels like about 3800 rpms, and even then it doesn't feel like it's completely spooled. The result is that it feels / is SLOW, especially compared to a stage 2 LGT.
