Subaru TS 1.5L Turbo Powerup


Subaru TS 1.5L Turbo Powerup

Yes, you can refer to the previous post here on the initial setup

Then, owner installs water-methanol injection kit, plus powervalve!

Now, this automatic transmission car has a powerpacked mid to high range powerband. You can just imagine, when you gun the car on traffic sprints, you'll noticed that the car sucks mega on 0~2500 rpm. The culprit is the automatic transmission. The inability to launch this ride will push this car out of the drag category automatically.

In drag, gear 1 can determine whether you win or lose. Those owners with dual mappings in their ride will concur with me. Those tuned on drag will find themselves very far in front on launch! Launch control is a fantastic device to have, but, this comes at the expense of the turbo, gears, clutch and engine. Manually launching the car demands more skill from the driver and properly launching the car is the only way to ensure the system remain intact for a long time.

Ok, fark drag... on 3000 rpm, this TS simply pulls like crazy... with the powervalve open, knn, those beside surely kenna shocked one lor... hahaha

methanol is a devilish liquid that transform your normal 98 octance fuel into race fuel. The water component then increases the chamber compression and the latent heat capacity of water displaces alot of heat from the engine chambers. This liquid wil squirted into the engine can enhance the spool up of turbo and also churns out alot of torque from the engine.

So, thats what we did, turbo charged TS with water-methanol and powervalve. The results? hahaha... just remember, give subaru the credit for putting AVCS into this new TS... on Dyno, we clocked 220 bhp! Torque wise is only 30kg. Everyone's smiling and this ride drew the eyes of many workshops that witnessed this feat.

We're very honoured to be the first in sillypore to turbo charged this TS and now even so to run on water-methanol and powervalve. We were also the first monkeys to turbo charge the new Mitsubishi 1.5L lancer.

Many thanks to the proud owner of this ride for letting us have fun on this ride. Owner is our old time customer liaoz... his choice to scrap his old lancer to buy this 1.5L TS is definately well founded. Initially, we thought he was crazy lor... sell off a very good lancer glx turbo and buying a 1.5L TS.... hahahaha... now we know... :)

Very smooth car. Not as torquey as the usual, excellent on streets. You will enjoy the AVCS and coil on plug ignition... Oh, all these controlled using emanage Ultimate.


Verdict:
No doubt, if you do it right, you'll get to enjoy it. 220 bhp with smooth delivery of power throughout the rpms. Automatic transmission for the lazy bumps... hahaha
