![]() ![]() Once the modifications were completed, '05WRC' hit the dyno to see what we could pull. To aid reliability and consistency a stainless turbo heat shield and cold air box/duct were fabricated. To support the extra power, the EJ207 was fitted with a larger set of 750cc injectors, PBMS Hybrid TD05/6 (bolt on), intake pipe and front mount intercooler. The most economical way to meet the power goals reliably was to fit a brand new EJ207 shortblock kit, and rebuild the cylinder heads. The first port of call was to refresh the 200,000km+ engine. Our sights were set on 280kw at the wheels, with a minimal sacrifice in response. ![]() With a background of fast cars, it didn't take long for Lance's hunger for power to get the better of him, and he was back, for the next level of modification. Once tuned, the vehicle put down a playful 236kw at the wheels. An exhaust and intake pipe were already fitted to improve engine efficiency. The initial plan lead us to upgrade the tiny TD04 to a larger VF30 STI turbo, supporting it with a V11/GRB STI top mount intercooler, STI injectors, fuel pump and Link ECU. Lance originally came to us with his limited-edition 2005 WRX wanting a staunch and responsive power increase. It wasn't that long ago when producing 300kw was a massive deal, however advancements in engine, turbo and tuning technology have made this magic number very achievable.
