2022+ WRX Power gains

How Much Power can I make? 2022+ WRX

Which mods are right for you?

Mod Info: All mods are going to vary in terms of how much power they can add. The tuning plays a huge factor in this as well. The fuel type you are running also makes a significant impact. Please note this is meant to be a quick reference guide and number may vary based on car, tune, conditions, etc. The numbers referenced are wheel horsepower numbers which are lower than crank horsepower.
whp= wheel horsepower
wtq= wheel torque

STOCK 2022 WRX baseline
On a dynojet, a stock 22+ WRX will make around 250whp and 250wtq

Tune Only Numbers:
91 octane tune only: 270whp 310wtq 
93 octane tune only: 280whp 330wtq
E50-E85 tune only: 310whp 370wtq 

Tune + Intake Numbers: (larger intakes will make a little more)
The BCP X Series Intake is the highest-flowing intake available and we designed it for total turbo optimization. 

91oct Intake tune: 310whp 330wtq
93oct Intake tune: 320whp 340wtq
E50-E85 Intake tune: 350whp 375wtq 
BCP X intake: Add 10-15 HP for each fuel type

Aftermarket J-Pipes:
The stock J pipe works pretty well up until 350whp. Here we see gains of around 10-15whp as well as a decrease in backpressure which is especially helpful to the engine when running pump gasoline tunes. On a larger turbo application, we strongly suggest an aftermarket J pipe. NOTE: BCP Tuning does NOT tune for emissions defeat devices. A Catted J pipe is the only J pipe we suggest. 

Aftermarket Catback exhausts: 
The main gain here is sound. We have done extensive testing and based on our data, the stock catback flows pretty well at 350whp. Above that, it helps with backpressure a little. On a larger turbo car, we made as much as 430whp on the stock catback and saw a 20whp increase just by switching to a high-flow catback. To keep the engine happy, we do suggest an aftermarket catback on all upgrade turbo cars. 

Larger Intercoolers:
Adding an intercooler to these setups doesn’t add much power on a single dyno pull, but it does allow the car to make more consistent power during a longer pull (2, 3, 4 gears). It is also much safer for people running in hotter climates. Because ethanol has a cooling effect, the intercooler is less of a concern on cars running E50-E85 tunes and MORE of a concern on cars running gasoline tunes.
