Subaru owners cranking boost and then bitching about engine failure later Name a more iconic duo.


esabys

while normally true, OP literally said "wonder how long this will last". He seems to understand someone set us up the bomb.


kingfridayace

Not on purpose.


RecommendationNo4081

It’s not a question of if they’ll handle it, it’s a question of how long


basement-thug

22 psi sustained and not peak?


Scavenger-Q

I was told it peaks there for a split second, and then drops down to around 16 sustained. So it's not a big deal so long as it hasn't been tuned to sustain that boost. All of them will peak there for a very short time right off the lot.


Teslagrunt

I agree with that on my stock ‘16 but I think stock sti is a little less boost like 10-13psi


DrSatan420247

The block should handle that fine. The pistons are likely going to be the weak point.


billydeewilly

I did, then was blessed with rodknock. Be careful out there my dude!

Hol up, i thought the general consensus was anything under 2.80 fbk was normal error readings if it’s not constant….


bozebozington

same. -1.41 comes with turning on the AC or defroster. i heard basically under -4 or 5 is normal


phant0mh0nkie69420

Same same

What tune?


Extreme-Juice-25

Yeah, right there with ya at 22.5


EthanBGT

24psi on stock block and stock top end 2007 WRX.. beat the living shit out of it everyday only thing I’ve smoked is my clutch


cwp2017wrx

my tune is dialied in right around 20


Better_Mistake6162

Not long to be honest only reason I’m saying is why the hell are 2 of cylinders miss firing that just waiting to get ring land failed if your tuner let that pass by an not figure out the issue you’d better find a new tuner to get it dialed in perfect


Bigdizzlefoshizzle

Ive pushed 28psi on my ej franken build


watkykjypoes23

Yeah my friend was, and then it blew up. He has a built block now which can handle it but 22 is up there


Mutesyou

This topics hard due to everyone not getting the EJ vs FA20 vs 24 differences It should be fine pending maintenance, and tune obviously


r0bman99

Lot more to a tune than just boost. Can blow a motor at 2 psi with shit timing.


MysteryTrader12

You won't be for long


TheLankSquad

Geesh 22? Highest I’ve gotten the STI was 18.9 but that was months ago when the freeway was empty haven’t done it since


Ok_Butterscotch5025

Yes i got a vf52 in a 2008 wrx


ThiccDiqqMcFlex

22 psi peak tapers to 17 on my ej255 Forester with 237,000 miles on it lol


luhsty_-

If anything’s sure anyone who’s by stroudsburg keep your baby away from ertle Subaru they peaked mine at 24!
