re: CARS & RIDES & Mighty Car Mods

No. There's slight variances between the different years, markets and models, but I think a lot of the 90s WRXs had 5 speeds (notorious for breaking with tuned cars) while the STI had a 6 speed and then a lot of differences with the engine - turbo, internals and I think even the block. Then ofcourse brakes, suspension, the visual stuff etc.

i heard that the engine is the same though and subaru needed to distinguish between the two and didn't want a wrx to beat an sti so they gave it a detune

in terms of power though?

You need to transfer power to the ground properly

But yes in terms of power they do output differently too.

That's not true.

There's actually different components used and the setup can be different.

Even injection sequence is different between the two. That's pretty vital, but it makes sense given different engine block.

The engine is definitely not the same.

why do some ppl put a front mount on subbies?

re: CARS & RIDES & Mighty Car Mods

Also the only way to "de-tune" without giving engine issues is to actually change parts, unless you are running super rich, super lean after a "de-tune", which would still cause problems as well.

Although tedious to get perfect, tuning a fuel and ignition map takes a lot of time and usually there is only one "range" of similar ideal maps for each engine and how it is to be run/used.

Have a read through that. I wouldn't say everything in the article is correct, though some things can give you a brief explanation of the difference between top mount and front mount.

If you want, youtube some more horrific crashes (I wouldn't put them on here though as some are pretty darn graphic).

In the meantime hahahaha
