october of 04 we had a very highly regarded shop (KingPin performance) in the Subaru market contact us in regards to producing a very high HP WRx/STi kit using the Garrett GT turbochargers.
well, after the kit design was finalized (Jan 05), KingPin installed and tuned the GT35R kit on a 1 month old '05 Subaru STi.



pump gas @ 22psi (91 octane out here in the heat...):


C16 @ 30psi:


watch out evo's....

 

I think I saw this on clubwrx.net. Awsome numbers outta stock motor. . . .

 

damn that car looks clean. My friend just got a sti, but wrecked it in like 2 weeks

 

Very bad *** numbers, What was it tuned with?? Utec?? Im looking into getting a STI or Evo MR.
How do the evos compare to the STIs??


The conclusion is:
Makes power easy = Evo
Strong Tranny = Sti
Better interior = Sti
handles better on road course = Evo (road and track tested)
Greater accerlation = Sti

It boils down to the Sti is a tad cheaper 3k then the MR, and its tad nicer then the Evo.

I dunno though.. only 1000 MRs were made

 

Nice!

Getting rid of the ITR already jordo?

 

Nice, what manifold and up-pipe were used?

Holy Shnikey

 

Was this on a completely stock bottom end? Is this kit for sale? I have a friend
who has a Sti and is doing a build. I'm gonna pass him the information if he
hasn't already seen it.

 

yea, stock motor. . .

 

here it is on clubwrx.net. . . .
Said the motor was never out of the car.

our main focus in this kit was to make "easier" power with the wrx/sti, while still maintaining a nice useable powerband.
we've done turbo systems on both the wrx/sti and the evo and have found the wrx/sti to be of better construction all together.
talking power output, with this kit now available, it finally puts the wrx/sti and the evo on a more level playing field .

this was done on a stock engine and surprisingly a stock clutch (no hard launches/tilton on the way).

edit: utec was used for tuning.
the kit is only available from KingPin Performance http://www.KingPinPerformance.com

 

Wow, looks great! The Torque figure is almost the same as the horsepower figure

Yeah 2 bad our hondas arent like that


Anyway Im sure that car is fun to drive..................when you arent breaking driveline parts

 

That STI is probably the most fun thing to drive. It has such short gear ratios that even with a stock STI you are shifting all the time (3rd gear to get to 60, 5th gear for 100mph) I couldn't IMAGINE driving that with all the power.

500hp+ EVO's and STI's are what dreams are made of..

for me at least

 

heres a dyno video of the first pull at 402whp....

this picture does this car no justice.

this car will be tuned on a HYDRA ems (MAP based)

the 513hp customer is already building a sleeved bottom, forged piston, big cam motor and looking for more already.

 

Thing looks good. sounds right on the dyno

HA HA that's what I was thinking....power 2 weight is a beautiful thing.....It seems
to be a very nice kit....can't wait to see what my friend thinks of it. Is the Sti
block sorta weak? Whats seems to be the limit?

 

I know the guy is gonna build up the motor now but how long will the stock motor last with this kind of power ??
