Last night we went to pick up our 2008 Subaru STi in white that we had ordered well over a month ago. First off let me say it is a gorgeous car. Definitely a big improvement. Today we will be throwing it on the dyno and the tuning begins. Here are some pics of us picking up the car last night.

Nice. Have not seen too many of those on here yet.

It's weird seeing the paint inside the door frame. I'm so used to seeing the seals since mine has no window frames.

Now get some mud flaps on her and take that Patric logo off!

Can't wait to see some graphs.

I agree with you. I am so used to not having window frames as well. After driving every one of our shop STi's (2004 to 2007) it is weird. But the new look makes up for it!

Way ahead of you on the Patric Subaru. Great dealership but no sponsorship, no sticker .

Nothing like testing a brand new STi in a fresh snow storm!!!!

Let the drifting begin!!

It reminds me of when I picked up my 2004 STi. Huge rain storm with flooding. Still went right to the dyno though!

Congrats. Can't wait to see what you guys do with it. I'm sure it will equal lots of power though. BTW, what is the new turbo labeled? VFxx. And what are the differences between it and the VF43?

[AutoMaster]

Dyno Numbers are in!



Weapon of choice: COBB AccessPort v2.0 (thanks goes to Scott over at COBB)

Stock: 210.9whp / 225wtq @ 15psi
AMR (S1) Stage 1 ProTune: 256whp / 270wtq @ 17psi

Notes: I am very impressed with the 2008 STi. Once I did the first pull on the car I knew it had potential. With some conservative tuning and only a couple pounds of boost we were able to punch out a 55whp increase and a jump of 45wtq. The fun started with the tuning of the new AVS Exhaust cam. The combination of AVCS INTAKE CAM tuning and AVCS EXHAUST CAM tuning gave us the ability to run very little timing and a AFR of 10.5 and still pull of such a nice gain. I could squeeze another 20whp but for a reliable, safe, fun STAGE 1. I feel that was a good enough gain. The car is very responsive and with the extended gearing makes the car an animal. More testing to come.

WOW!! Looks like you guys have done some very nice work so far! I can't believe you got that much power out of a stage 1!!!

BTW what turbo does the 08 have?

[Einobaka]

Holy crap, that's amazing with just a Stage 1! I'm sure it'll be super nice with a TBE and an equal length header system!

i believe its a vf48 or something like that.

car looks hot in white and i am really liking those 5 spoke stockers. framed windows FTL though hahaha.

The framed windows may seem odd for Subaru, but the doors are so much more solid when you close them. Makes it feel like it's a lot better quality.

Re: Turbo

I canT really seem to see the numbers on the turbocharger unless we remove it from the vehicle. I acts similar to the past VF series. More to come once it is removed. But again, no time soon.


Re: Engine Management

We have completed our AMR-S1 OTS Maps for the 2008 STi for the COBB AP v2.0 and will have the same maps available for those using the UTEC DELTA and also the HYDRA unit. Updates will be listed on our website.


Re: Update!

The vehicle is amazing. I am falling in love more and more with the 2008 STi. The drivability is excellent. The S1 map is definitely a HUGE improvement throughout the entire RPM band. I can not seem to keep my foot from going down to the floor board . The AVCS exhaust cam, when tuned properly, is definitely a good weapon for increasing the efficiency of the engine and power increase. We will be working on a S2 (stage 2) map and new parts selection most likely next week. So look out for that. I will post up a video of the dyno runs, etc.. of the car in a few! Thank you for the comments!

Yes, it is. I was referring to our older models. 2004-2006.
