SORRY I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND,,,, I WAS TOLD LAST WEEK THAT MY 06 STI WITH 413LBS OF TORQUE WOULD NOT LAST A WEEK,,,

ITS BEEN GOING FOR 7 DAYS NOW AND ITS STILL PERFECT,, I AM STARTING TO THINK SOME FOLK ARE TALKING OUT OF THERE RUSTY BULLET HOLE

 

LoL mate , good luck with it , Alan, >> with V7 sti 478 torque,

 

Which second did you measure the week from?

 

Im sure i read on another thread that the same rolling road had a td04 running well over 300bhp!

 

you`ve done it now,cocky and tempting fate,bad combo !!!!

 

reading his other thread its a std 2.5 with a remap and cat back exhaust

i would get it on another rr before you get worried about anything

im no expert but prosprot are known for their slightly high torque figures

( do a search )

just enjoy the car and forget about the pub talk

 

Give it 3 years /50,000 miles, engines don't wear out in a week.

Still, impressive figures though.

 

Tell you what though, your car might not be broken but your keyboard evidently is! The CAPS lock seems to be stuck on and your apostrophe (,) key seems to be sticking. How many torques was your keyboard running before it broke?

 

besides its not just abot huge figures, ow it drives on the road is the important thing

 

Thats a very high Torque figure, my T25 which has heavily modified engine internals has about 380lbs/ft, I'm no expert but the standard 2.5lt internals are supposedly not too good at handling big numbers so beware.

 

I can't remember anyone saying it wouldn't last.

 

Sure your units are right many Nm converts to far
fewer lb.ft.

 

Dude,

Just get on with driving and enjoying it. Numbers from dreamos dont mean sod all in my book anyway.

Its about what it does on the road/track/strip. These are real world performance figures and nobody can argue with it down the pub either.

You could have a car with 1000bhp but if its no good out there on the black stuff....... who cares.

Its your car, nobody elses so just get on with enjoying it and stop winging.

 

It would have to be very badly set up to go in a week mate!!

I'm no expert, but if it's an STi and you've got the car appropriately set up for the mods, there is no reason why it shouldn't last. Torque does seem a bit high for the mods, but well, who knows how much weight to ascribe to figures these days. How it performs on the road is the litmus test.

Who told you it wouldn't last a week, Subaru UK?

Ns04

 

Probably because it hasn't got 413 lbs of torque but let's not go there again

Just enjoy the car and forget about figures, there's always someone out there who's got more power

 

rb5scott said,,,,,,,," Lets for your sake hope that them figures are wrong because your chocolate 2.5 won't last more than a week"

This was never about showing off power figures, you should read all the theads from start to finnish .

 

No thanks, I've got a life

 

Awaits new thread - 'MY06 Engine Failure'

 

interesting figures those jakeob

i have an STi 06 with significantly more mods than that but not that torque figure. I would get that checked on a different rolling road or post up the in gear acceleration figures (4th gear please) because the standard set up will not make that figure for definite.

 

All that 'torch', I just hope it blows up now....

 

ahh , he was the torch guy ,

 

If anyone looked at the graphs, you'll notethe tourque drops off a fair amount after its peak at 3000odd rpm.

The reason? The boost has probably been reigned in at higher revs with an eye set on to keep it reliable (it's why I asked for a plot of the pressure in the other thread ). So yes it surges off to 400 odd lb/ft but it quickly drops down to more conservative values after the intial kick in the back (so to speak ). Thus the overall bhp value is more conservative (as its caluclated from the torque).

 

"First gear, all wheels light up........second gear, you get a punch in the back....third gear, BANG, TINKLE TINKLE.....oh dear, i've blown the gearbox.....HELP"

 

don't say that , he'll come back with caps lock on again !!

 

Reading the threads in Finnish, how does that help?

 

Call me picky... but this is an apostrophe ('); this is a comma (,).

Torque figure seems a little excessive to me... even the Evo X MR360 isn't near that figure! ...


I'm sure my jdm classic is close though!!

 

unless they have downgraded the box from a version 9 can't see 400ftlb being an issue for the box

 

i think that comment was tongue in cheek

 

Anyone else noticed quite a few spoof threads appearing here on Scoobynet lately?

 

you think? lol
