Ben's Subaru wrx Auto with vf28 Turbo

VF28 is one of my fravourite turbo. Ben is a car person, the way he pampers his car... omg... if the car has feelings, she will wet herself dry,.. hahaha

For Ben, he consistently make comparison of his car against a sonata taxi. A tinge of insult for me of course... Basically, Ben came to us through Kevin's recommendation, Kevin called me up to persuade me to blow Ben's engine... hahaha... Then I conveyed this to Ben and told him that I am going to blow his rex... hahaha

Knn lor... Ben was like cursing and swearing with Kevin beside him lor... hahaha...

Ben likes to describe how a sonata taxi would accelerate off traffic, using his palms as illustration of how quickly the taxi would run, then how powerful the taxi would be... I kept asking him to stop comparing his WRX to a taxi.

Ben's ride comes with HKS evc boost controller, 3" full exhaust system, slowered suspensions, STi interior which makes the cabin feel like a 747, Defi meters with genome control unit, Varis CV bonnet, and many many more...

This is an Automatic transmission ride and in the past, he was using TD05-18G turbo, tuned by B#Nn#

Ben is the owner of Uncle Leong's restraunt in Ang mo kio. Omg, we had one of the best butter crabs ever! I tried Meh ben last time, and used to frequent that place... but, I think Ben's shop is 100 times better la... The meat of the crab is cooked Just nice! Not soggy and not too hard, just chewy and sweet, when your molar crushes the crab's tender meat, the buttery juices from within flows unto your taste buds, releasing some of the wonderous flavours of creamy smooth buttery taste with a tinge of mushrooms, coupled with the flavours of fresh live sri lankan crabs. Oh! The fatique and stress of the day melted away, the effects of a wonderful dinner after a day's work is beyond words.

A bowl of crab eggs was placed beside, showing the craftmanship of the chef who prepared it. I ate them with a slight guilt, knowing well the effect of cholestrol, I devoured the crab eggs nevertheless... kekeke... eat first, think later...

Sam has never tried this before. I insisted on trying the Beehoon soup with crab... No regrets!

Beside's the world best dinner, Ben's hospitality is so good, we felt a compulsion to do even better and demostrate it with his car... hahaha...

Sam tested Ben's wrx brakes, something which he never do... soemthing which endangers his life... on a rainy day, he slammed hard on the brakes, memorizing the distance at which the car stops is crucial and can prove useful on track days which its raining.

Ben's car now feels much lighter, with better fuel consumption and much more low torque, I hope he can now compare his car to a more worthy ride. Boost is 1.8 bars on stock internals. For a multitude of reason, this is still safe. Well, you can expect lower boost level in certain senarios. To keep the technicalities outside our blog, you need to talk to Sam who is on reservist this week to know more...

Many a time, I would type a lengthy article on intercooler effects, turbo comrpessor maps, engine temperature, how to blow which component and stuff... Only to end up deleting it. I thought about it, and it is like your bosses in your day job, asking you this and that... Asking you stupid questions, why do this and why you did that... Reluctant as you are trying to describe or explain your actions, knowing thats it is plain simple and obvious (to you at least) and cursing and swearing why being your boss, he do not know such simple things.... The reluctance to explain is similar to mine...

I leave the explaining of technicalities to sam... since it is his job... mine is a passion and I plan to keep it that way.

I tune the cars like I would to mine. Ben's ride is on the conservative side... 1.8 bars, conservative? hahaha... If I own his ride... I would do it that way, while retaining everything else,... and yet nice to drive around... Ben knows.

Overall, I enjoyed the dinner, the company and it was an excellent way to spend the evening... think will call Ben later... hahaha... persuade him to upgrade his intercooler... then go his shop with sam to makan... He gives us discount... hahaha... forcing an indirect obligation to return the discount from sam.

Oh, this ride is a perfect street racing machine now! forget sonata taxi,... hahaha... Its a Subaru WRX!!
