Realistically, you don't gain much horsepower with a tune. But you gain lot of torque. Tuning makes the power band more linear. So the response on the low end will much quicker.
Personally intake or exhaust won't get much out of this car. 10 whp at tops. Again those are top-end power. You will probably loose some torque at the low end with just I/E. so tuning is a must if you are looking for "true" gain

This. The dyno chart shown earlier in the thread clearly indentified the pro's of a simple tune. Exhaust restriction from the factory, due to emission regulations, increases back pressure in the EGR system to cool down high compression chambers to reduce NOx. By opening up the exhaust and properly tuning the ECU you should notice an improvment in acceleration. Hopefully the magnitude of negitve slope on the torque band can be decreased so it will be as close to zero as possible. Btw when you tune the ride do not use a piggyback.

But...we won't really know until we get our hands on them.
Well, I hope our bottom ends are as unbreakable as theirs.

Good post. This isn't like modding a Turbo car where you'll see significant gains like from a TBE, and/or a tune. You really have to be happy with the power this car makes because you're really not going to get much more out of mods from it, outside of doing a FI kit, spray, or if someone made an internals kit (higher comp pistons/cams). Biggest change will be the sound of the car, which is cool to do.

You're getting better delivery, smoother power out of a tune most likely, and maybe a couple top end horses at best. This is the inherent problem with high-comp, small displacement NA engines, and how they limit you.

id like to think this motor is comparable to a sr20 have similar dimensions, bore, stroke and displacement. those can rev freely up too 9 or 10k with valvetrain

The closest you can get to this engine is with the K20 and the Clio RS engine.
These can gain quite some hp with the right tune, with not much torque loss, so I'm going to be optimistic and say thate with the right full exhaust system and the best ECU we're going to see 15 hp of power increase.
With cams and intake even 30, so 220-230 flywheel hp and at least 10 nm of torque in the midrange, with peaks of 20, are feasible.

I/H/E + Tune : No greater than 20whp/20wtq gain, but, realistically, more than +8/+8 The real key, I think, is going to be switching to a more efficient IM.

With a relatively low redline and without variable valve lift, I don't think this engine will see major gains with just I/E/tune. But who knows, Subaru mentioned the engine easily hit its target output on its initial shake-down dyno run, so perhaps there is some untapped potential there.

I think it's a question of how much low end torque you're willing to give up. As Dimman pointed out before, the 3S-GE can make better than Ferrari 458 specific torque with the TRD cams (and ITB/intake assembly, exhaust, and 13.1 compression), but if you're stuck without variable cam profiles then your low end torque basically doesn't exist :P

My proposed solution: a true performance oriented mild hybrid system to boost low end torque so it feels like a 2.4L everywhere

I know when I saw the TRD version of the FRS at the Toyota museum. I ask the lady which is the head of TRD USA, what are the HP number on the intake is 9hp and the exhaust is 4hp. I do not know if each gain is the part alone or compounded each other though. But there are numbers to be gain if her statement is which is probably true.

i believe this motor has variable valve timing

Timing yes. Lift no.

I'm gonna leave it alone. OEM Bone Stock. The most I'd do is roll around 17 inch rims with some sticky tires in the summer, that's about it. And put snow tires on the stock rims for the winter since I do live in the mountains, god snow driving in this car is going to be interesting, if even feasable? (nothing like driving an impreza in a blizzard) :o
