K818S Build Thread

[wallace18]

Car was baselined tonight (real tuning will happen tomorrow). Running rich and slightly out of tune due to the CIA... the car put down 190 wheel. SMG Motoring feels there is as much as 30hp left in the tune. We will see what she puts down after the tune. Keep in mind this is basically bone stock except for the CIA (stock airbox was cracked). Figured it is good info for all the builders building near stock to know what to expect. A stock WRX looses about 22%DLL (165-170whp) so we are picking up about 8% by eliminating the AWD.

The car will be very enjoyable with that kind of power.

Dyno tune is done. Results were 227whp/213wtq.

Yes, thanks for sharing this. Just to help clarify this WRX motor is a 2002 as stated on page 1.
Now can someone do the same for a 2006?

[Kalstar]

Yes 2002 WRX 2.0L with 86k miles.

That is using the bellmouth and 2.5 exhaust, muffler, no cat? Open source tune?

[metalmaker12]

Pretty much exactly what you wanted.

[RM1SepEx]

Makes me think my 05 with 70K, cone filter intake and 3 inch bellmouth, cat and muffler with stage 2 Cobb should be 230-240 as well... fingers crossed, we will know soon

Matt,

Kalstar,
Lookin good.
Do you know what your boost numbers were at?

Just to clarify the exhaust uses the FFR turbo adapter and a 2.5" exhaust with a 2.5" Raptor turbo muffler.

I would guess the muffler robs some power but I like the quietness far better then the 5-7hp I think it costs. As for the exhaust, when I bought it, it was spec'ed for the 2.0l, maybe the 2.5-2.0 exhaust is interchangeable. At current power levels it has a p/w slightly better then a 2015 Corvette Stingray (and that is assuming the 818 at 1910lbs). Should be a fun little rocket.

The turbo adapter goes off to the side, that goes straight... so that has the flat block off plate, no bell mouth? Makes me even more confident that with my setup 240 HP should be attained!

I just cut off the curved pipe and welded up what I needed to make it work.
