That could just be an inaccuracy in your tach or it could be something else. Subafreak has the same problem but at 6000 rpms and he used to get over 7000. We're trying to figure out what is going on now. He wired his neutral safety switch and switched versions of software around the same time. I checked the version of software i sent him and it has the same rev limit as what he used to have. I have a feeling the different rev limit that different people with manual transmissions are seeing is a result of how they wire up their neutral safety switch and that you may in fact be hitting something else i think i saw in the software. I recall seeing something that looked like a speed limiter around 152 mph from the top of my head. I think you may be hitting that. I don't have a lot of time to spend on it now but my guess is the solution will be to figure out who has the best neutral safety switch wiring and everyone do theirs the same. |

My system is wired like a factory 5MT. I know Jesse is missing a few switches.
I know I'm not hitting 152mph Highest I've gone is about 145 on the speedo. I hit the same RPM wall regardless of speed. I have mentioned before that resetting the ECU gives me a couple hundred more RPM for a short while.

Probably the only way to determine this is by measuring the AFR on my car at the limits.

I used to think that the bucking was due the engine hitting redline and the tach not accurately reading the engine rpm, but yesterday, I say over 6500 rpm on the tach with no bucking. In my previous cold weather runs with the air density was higher, I'd be lucky if I got to 6500 before my car started bucking. I'm beginning to think more that the bucking is an artifact of the MAF reaching 4.8 volts. Either the engine is running lean and pulling back timing, or the ecu is cutting spark/fuel when it sees 4.8 volts from the MAF.
Chike, with the SVX, RA 3rd tops out at about 80-85 mph, and RA 4th tops out at about 100-105 mph with a 3.90 axle ratio. svxsubaru1, If you want to run the stock fuel injectors with a turbo (or SC), you'll have to increase the baseline fuel pressure (unboosted fuel pressure). Otherwise, the injectors will reach maximum duty cycle (80%) at around 250 HP. 7 psi of boost would give close to 350 bhp. To supply enough fuel to the engine for 350 HP, you'll need to bump the baseline fuel pressure up to around 60 psi. Then at full boost, you're fuel pressure will be about 67 psi. Michael, are you planning to include any sort of afr enrichment changes in the Stage 2v3 chip?

With the stock fuel pressure and injectors, per Mychailo's post above, at max duty cycle 250hp is the most that can be achieved. I'd just want to be sure that your stage 2v3 software would be adaptable to changes an owner might make over the life of the vehicle (e.g. high powered n/a motor -> forced induction). I've decided to keep my SVX indefinitely and not get an '05 Legacy GT just yet. However, I'd want to get the most performance out of an n/a EG33 without cracking open the block... -Chike

So after my stage III installed what will be left as far as options for me to suck more power out of this beast. Ideally I would hopefully get this heavy tub into the high 11's.

Going from high 12's/low 13's in a WRX/STI/Evo to the 11's typically takes and increase in those light-weight (3,200lb) cars of around 150+hp at the crank. If you don't believe me, read other boards like www.clubwrx.net or www.evolutionm.net. -Chike

Oh, trust me I believe you. I have a friend who is currently just above the 11 second mark in his evo.
And hell, I am only expecting a mid to high 13's from this kit. Why? I live in reno Nevada, mine is still a stock auto, ive got 16's on my car, and my driver's seat weighs 76 pounds. I am just looking at options of where to go further after this. I will not stop modding this car tell I get kicked off the race track for not having a cage! And weight reduction is not an option unless its an exterior change (I.E make all of the outside carbon fiber) because I want this car to remain what it should be. A luxury sports sedanish type car. |

Once you get the Stage 3 in your car, if money wasn't an option, I'd buy a used low mileage 4.44 4EAT from a Legacy Outback and send it off for a Level 10 re-build including their valve body mod. Or go through the expense of doing a built 5MT or STI 6MT swap. The shorter gearing alone will improve your 1/4 mile time by over a 0.3 seconds... The built stage 4 motor may then be the next way to go. You should be able to run 15 psi no problem as long as you have the right software from LAN to support it (which will then put you at roughly 450-460hp at the crank)!!! -Chike

What can i say to that but ask which do you think is the better test of if you can get more out of the injectors a generic calculator or my having done it on our demo car? Theoretical speculation is great but you can't discard real data....you have to correct your assumptions or your reasoning when you find your speculation doesn't match the facts of what happens. Like i said to Mychailo 80% is 80% 100% is 100% Granted I'm getting a much better bsfc than a turbo system will but still no na svx will ever need larger injectors to run gasoline and if a turbo system needs more fuel it can get it through an additional injector controller which can supply fuel at high rpms but won't mess with the engine managment. |
