First, this is my mistake, but Japan posted the graph to show where they reached the max duty cycle on the stock injectors finally. Well, 90% duty cycle at 6.5psi to be exact, which is the furthest they will go and consider it safe. So it was basically incidental that they reached to those figures and power.

Due to the questions here, I went back and talked with them about it, and reached an understanding of what's going on with the power figures. As a side note here, as many people know that Japan doesn't use hp or bhp at the crank, they use PS at the crank for their power figures, which reads a little higher than our hp. Our Japan office is also a Subaru Dealer, and as a courtesy to their customers, dyno's the cars stock for them to verify the power output matches the manufacturer claims. Initially they didn't, but after talking with Dynapack Japan, they ended up with a 1.14 conversion factor for the torque to match up with the manufacturer's data. That isn't applied to the whp figure, though (since the dynapack is using that to generate the flywheel torque), which is why the numbers don't add up.

For instance, at 250whp/6000 rpm, it's showing about 250ft/lbs of torque. As noted, the math doesn't add up. Multiply 250 x 5252 and divide by 6000, and you end up around 218ft/lbs. However, multiply that by 1.14, and you end up with the 249ft/lbs of torque figure on the graph. So the math was wrong, and also slightly right.

To wrap it up, their whp figures are accurate, it's their torque figures that are high. But if you use the dyno as it's intended, a before/after measurement, it's still doing both accurately, it's just that we have a higher start point for the torque (and end point). From now on, whenever they do any testing, they'll run the dyno without the correction figure on the torque output so that there is no confusion on that end.

But for now, the stock power to stage, um, 1.875.


Stage 1 power to stage 1.875.
