[Gumball]

Hi

I Ihave just come back from Dastek this minute, via undisclosed b roads with exciting news on the final result!!!!

My MY53 STI8 now has been matched up with a new hybrid turbo, gt spec headers and a 3 inch hayward system. This accompanied with my APS CAI with bird feeder through the front fog cover, bigger fuel pump and regulator has given me

a confirmed over 2 runs....................................

403 BHP

and a torque figure that just fits in nicely below it.

SO THANKS AGAIN TO ANDY FORREST, AND WELCOME TO THE 400BHP PARTY

[2559B]

nice one Chris !!! You must be well chuffed .................. Crail ???

[Gumball]

using the launch control will be good fun at crail now !!! cant wait.

[dipsy]

Chris i got it right slitly more than 400bhp i put in the other thread you posted .Is that using the orignal intercooler

[Gumball]

yes mate, thats with a standard STI cooler. the car was slightly hotter than i would have liked as well when they started kicking it.

8th October i hope to get that down before it rolls and get 405+

[dougster]

Nice one Chris.

Plenty more to come, by the looks of things!!!!

[scoobykev]

very impressive mate

[st3ph3n]

As Will Smith would say - DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMNNNNN.

Those are some nice figures Chris. You must be chuffed mate, especially as you said to me at AWD that you'd be happy with 380.

Shame you'll not be at KH later in the month. If you do happen to be up then I'll take you out on a passenger lap. Show you how this whole cornering business is dealt with.

[Gumball]

LOL

i'll look forward to it. I didnt think i was going to spin off on my first trackday either playdoh face. but yes, i would love to come out for a pax run.

[st3ph3n]

I did the one in June. Thought I coped quite nicely. A bit of a trouser browning 4 wheel drift over the top of the hill at the first corner when pushing a bit hard, but I just kept my foot in it and the road eventually caught up to the wheels.

[the squiggle]

Well done Chris

Still a GBL

[coulty]

What boost were you running and more importantly what torque did you get?

Just remember that the classics are still much lighter and with even 350/360bhp the classic would still be at least a match. Anyway torque is everything!

[micra_wrc]

hope your brakes work gumball

Imy

[Gumball]

coulty,

you couldnt resist could you? my torque?

whens the last time i was obnoxious or put you down?

never mind, i have come to expect it from you

[coulty]

Come to expect it? I have never said anything much before, you can ask anyone i hardly talk as it is. I was just wondering what torque you got and making a point. I think my first point for a long time anyway. You seem to have a lot to say on here so i thought i was allowed free speech?

I would guess about 340lbs/ft at that power at about 1.4/1.5 bar.

[gordyN01]

awesome figures chris u must be well pleasedwhats the torque?

[Gumball]

thanks gordy, the torque is 340 at the moment..........

for now.....

1.4bar boost aslo.

the low boost setting of 0.6bar is 340bhp which is good for going to work mode

[Marky-San]

Excellent figures there mate.  Must go like a train.  Andy has come into his own with his results.

I must also comment on the grand meister Coulty.  He can handle an impreza better than anyone I've seen in a long long time (on a par with the controlled lunacy of UDIC Caz) and by christ he knows it.

Anyway, back to my pipe and slippers you young scamps

[jcscoob]

Well done mate (flyin YES)

Ps, lol

[ANDYJDMSTI]

[q, the torque is 340 at the moment..........

>>

340???..................not bad i got just over that from just a remap and decat.

as i always said JDM is the way to go............................minimal outlay for max gains!!!!!!

bring on the 600!!!!!

[Gumball]

torque is lower than i expected but... it can be improved. 400bhp is good for me.

[craigdmcd]

I believe the man at the controls stated that "whilst torque is important through the revs, it is still ultimately the BHP that you have to look at, just look at F1 cars, low on torque but big on bhp and they go well", not a direct word for word quote, but close enough not to be misrepresenting him, eh, Chris

[Gumball]

Craig,

Your right, thats almost word perfect. your car got a good result today 310bhp on a legacy. nice one. did you have a good drive home with your new power so to speak??

[craigdmcd]

I had to drive very carefully because of that big stupid grin on my face

[fai17]

Well done Gumball.

Very pleasing figures m8
