Here is an interesting quote from Julian Edgar's "21st Century Performance" (an Australian tuning book),

"And to make it even more confusing, any constant four-wheel-drive car tested on a chassis dyno appears to have a huge driveline loss. For example, a standard Subaru Impreza WRX with 155 kW (208hp) at the flywheel has a measured power of only 95 kW (127hp) at the wheels. That's a massive loss of 60 kW (80hp), or 39 per cent. And the Subaru seems to go awfully well (it has a standing quarter in the mid 13s) for a 1250kg car with only 95 kW at the wheels."

This quote refers to a Dyno-Dynamics chassis dyno. Using 1.39 as a multiplier to Shiv's numbers yield results very close to advertised power. Food for thought.

 

why is there so much drama. simple question on what to get for upgrades and people on here can't even give a decent suggestion. all they do is argue and proving them right to one another. so gay

 

this is over two years old lol. interesting read though...

 

What ever happened to silver surfer... someone should lock this thread.

I remember reading this back when I first joined the forums. Awww...Memories.

 

um...pull your wastegate hose?

 

in 2003 everyone had a lot to learn about the Evo. Boy how things have changed.

 

fastest way to make 300whp or 300 crank hp? throw a 50 shot on there and take the cat back off, and take the filter out, that will make 300whp.

 

Or buy an IX, add TBE and have vishnu tune it. Done and done.

 

I dont even think that it would take a IX that much to get 300whp?

 

You can just buy a IX and already be over 300HP...no mods required. To hit 300whp, all you need is a tune OR a TBE, but not both.

 

Dynoflash
Catback
Drop in filter

I believe you will get 300bhp solidly with this set up (not awhp).

 

fletch, what would that be, total cost, estimate...just curious?

 

Are you asking the total cost of a cat-back, panel filter, and Dynoflash? That would be $350 (Megan 3" cat-back) + $65 (K&N) + $199 (mail-in dynoflash) = $614. These mods would be good for:

03/04 - 260-270whp
05 - 280-290whp
06 - 300-310whp
