WRX with FP green turbo
We all know what the FP green turbo can do with a 2.5L wrx boxer engine. With AVCS cams and a top mounted intercooler, this ride can easily push the turbo to produce significant difference in horsepower and torque for this ride.
This turbo is suitable for people who already owns a turbo charged ride, played enough of low end torque and response, and lost enough on the highway to taxis and 350-zees. Its that lack of high-end power which causes most seasoned turbo charged rides to fore-go the low end torque and go for something more rewarding during inpromto races.
FP green is an excellent selection. Owner bought it off a previous owner who de-modded his ride and sold it to him at a steal.
Turbo installation took 2 hours to complete and after a quick tune up with desch-works 850cc injectors newly installed, we fired the engine and we're off to tune the ride. Idling is perfect in all situations, with aircon on and off, the idling remains stable at 800 rpm.
For all this while, I've been wondering what the word FP stands for... I guess today, I finally found out. Fake Power! Maybe farking power is a better terms in most cases, but if this secondhand FP turbo has problems with its compressor blades/fins, this turbo is shit. The inablity to spool and compress air efficiently have caused the turbo is be inefficient and boost levels are unacceptable.
Owner damn borling lor... lolz... The anti-climax, low sex drive turbo really pissed everyone off.... No doubt at the current boost level, the damaged FP turbo is already showing signs of its original prowess, the teasing aint helping the punctured excite. Its like grandpa swinging his dick and telling us how big and power he used to be, his performance in the past is not gonna make any granny high and that how we felt.
Well, goodday to all, the damaged FP turbo bored us all, still, all smiles, he got the refund for the turbo and we're off...
stay tuned... I've got good news coming soon....

Subaru STI boost up
Subaru STI boost up
Got an assignment to tune up a Stock Subaru STI that morning, and after a quick exchange of contact and stuff, we fixed up an appointment to Dyn's ride tuned up and good for the road.
Ride arrives sounding like a rocket or something. Hmm, I notice he still has the stock bonnet. Bright yellow in colour and excellent looking body kits. Popping the bonnet, we saw a massive top-mount intercooler and a turbo that smiles. I managed to talk to his turbo, after a quick hand shake and stuff, turbo told me he is also stock. Right. I might have seen him somewhere before, though in my memory, turbo does look kinda innocent for starters.
Gear 1, Dyn's STI sprints forward. Turbo kicks in as early as 2500 rpm and pulls right on to red line. At 1 bar of boost, the engine shows signs of detonation. I started scratching my head, then my balls, my balls says the turbo's stock. lolz...
Gear 2, Turbo kicks in instantly, and have breath to pulls all the way to redline. What in the world did this owner did to his ride? Hmm,...stock... lolz...
What we did on this ride is to tune up the ride to spool up quicker than before, ensuring engine is still happy and boost enough to tell the owner, your stock injectors are now maxed out. Of course, if more horsepower is desired, we can recommend upsizing the injectors, and going for forged internals.
Tuning this ride is simple enough for me. This ride now packs with much more torque than before, no more detonations and stuff, and loads of bhp to play with. Definately, if owner sticks to his high boost all the time, the low boost will now feel like granny on sticks.
After 1.5 hours of tuning, this ride's performance is safely improved with loads of low-end torque and enough breath to pull to redline. I'm respecting the owner's choice to keep the vehicle's parts discrete, and again, turbo is stock, nothing's modified on this ride, just a little tune up and stuff.
Verdict:
K'dyn Subaru 2.5 STI
Shoik!
