Subaru TS 1.5L Turbo charged

Subaru TS 1.5L Turbo



This car is just less than a month old and is ready for turbo charging. Car has barely run-in and the job of running the car was left to us :)

In comparison to the older TS model, this make is slightly underpowered mainly due to its smaller capacity. The turbo kit for this car is relatively simple, a custom extractor, up-pipe, downpipe, TD04 turbo, sub injectors, AVCR boost controller, powervalve (tm), sard r2d2 bov and controlled using Emanage blue.

To add to the list of power packed gadets, we throw in a boost cooler to ensure maximum horsepower is extracted from this tiny 1.5L engine. We also maximize on the new AVCS and coil-on-plug ignition system that comes stock for this new model.

From sam's point of view, we're pretty used to the older model looks and feel and the amount of power it can produce. As compared the the 1.5L, we personally felt that it is somewhat lacking in terms of bhp for a subaru TS.

Well, from the owner's point of view, this kit is remarkably good. Its exceeded his inital expectation and felt that if his car can outrun an integra, it should be good enough. Well, the ingetra owner did gave him the thumbs up. On gear 1, integra was 3 cars ahead of the TS, on gear 2, both cars is on par, on 3rd, TS hugging tight to the turbo's full boost accelerates hard past the integra. wow. not bad liaoz...

The results, is a smooth car, perfect idling and running on automatic tranny. There is no way to tell from the outside that this car has been modified!

Verdict:
Use this kit to increase the bhp. Easiest way to achieve that 50% increase in bhp!

Owner ran with Suzuki swift sport turbo... lost by 2 car length...

Yeah... damn good. Coz, TS 1.5 weight 1.4 tons and swift weigh 1050 kg...

TS 1.5 runs on cvt
Swift runs on close ratio

Good run !!
