395hp Cosworth Edition Impreza STI

Some update news for Subaru Impreza STI> Cosworth Edition Subaru Impreza STI which is only available for 75 units worldwide.

We reported about Cosworth working on a special edition of the Subaru Impreza WRX STI some time ago, and now its officially here. Here are the first official photos of the highly anticipated Impreza WRX STI Cosworth edition. Set to go on sale this June in the UK only and in a limited-run of just 75 units, the Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 promises supercar-like performance figures in a hot hatch.

Cosworth's engineers started work on the STI's 2.5-liter boxer unit, installing new high-performance pistons, connecting rods, head gaskets and bearings. The mod works also includes a remapped ECU, a modified turbocharger and wastegate as well as a new custom exhaust system.

The result of all that work is an impressive 395hp at 5,750rpm, enough to propel the Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 too 100km/h in a mere 3.7-seconds. Just for comparison sake, the standard 296hp Impreza WRX STI completes the 100km/h sprint in 5.2-seconds.

According to reports from Subaru, the CS400 also gets revamped suspension with new coil springs and a 10mm lower ride-height as well as a bespoke brake package with six-pot callipers and 355mm discs at the front that were co-developed with AP Racing.

In the styling department, the changes are extremely subtle consisting of a redesigned front bumper with an integrated lower spoiler and a mesh grille, Cosworth logos, a different rear spoiler and specific 18-inch alloy wheels.

Finally, the limited edition Impreza STI CS400 gets a pair of Recaro bucket seats, glossy black dashboard trim and of course, Cosworth badges.

2nd Trip Of Formula-D

Everything is smooth according to my plan, I managed to pick up my Blue Hippo to solve the "4th gear insufficient fuel supplied" yesterday. I woke up at 10.30am and arrived Formula-D at 11.30am, unfortunately Adil still haven't show up. While waiting him, I drove my Hippo to Steven Corner to have a drink. After finish up a quick drink, about 12pm+ I arrived Formula-D and Adil was there.

There are few pictures of my Blue Hippo....

He prepared and call up the mechanic to tighten up my car and start the dyno tune. After going through a few run and tune, he told me that the problem still occur but better than before. In this point, he suspect my fuel system got problem and suggest me to change the fuel pump and fuel regulator. Since I wonder whether I'm using the stock fuel pump, thus I decided to change to Walbro fuel pump and as well as the Sard fuel regulator.

While Tuning....

Dyno tune was continue after this 2 items fix into my car, this time the result show much much much better!! Anyway, there are still some minor problem which is insufficient fuel supplied at 7000rpm, the tuner try his best to solve this problem but in the end still can't make it. I have been told that it will be possible caused by the fuel filter or fuel injector..... Anyway, I'm not gonna fix this 1st since I din't rev up to 7000rpm at all time in order not to give stress to my engine.

There are others car at Formula-D like Scooby.

As well as Fairlady.

Before finish this topic, I would like to get comment from you guys about what should I do? Fix the fuel injector and fuel filter next time? If fix the fuel injector and fuel filter, will it need to open ECU again?? How long to fix this items?

Few pictures I took before my car is done.

 Adil's multi-color CBA-35, chunn!!

Only 400 units!!!

Finally, Subaru released the next generation of S204, its name as R205. Same as S204, this is a limited production but this time Subaru only  produce 400 units for R205, who will be the lucky owner??

STI to introduce the Subaru Impreza “R205″

Tokyo, January 7, 2010 – Subaru Tecnica International Inc. (STI)* is pleased to announce the launch of the Subaru Impreza “R205″, a special performance version. The model will go on sale today through Subaru dealerships in Japan.

Based on the Impreza WRX STI, the R205 enhanced the sheer driving performance it shares with former special performance models, such as the “S203″ and the “S204″, developed by STI. The R205 is the top performance model of the WRX STI. It features new and exclusive equipment and makes full use of specially designed features and performance parts of the “WRX STI spec C” model, the sporty performance model launched 2009. The “R” of R205 stands for “Road Sport”.

Most efforts focused on refining handling performance by adopting STI tuned dampers, coil springs, flexible type strut tower bar, flexible type lower arm stiffener of front suspension, and Bridgestone’s specially designed RE070 tyres. Thus the R205 ideally balances agile driving and confident driveability by enhancing a linear steering response and excellent road-holding capability. This is exactly the distinctive ride quality that STI is pursuing as its vehicle development theme, “strength and nimbleness” driving. The R205 offers enhanced total driving control not only in city driving on the road or winding road but also in sporty driving at the circuit.

In addition, STI carried out verification tests of selected performance parts of the R205 through the participation of the 2009 Nurburgring 24-hour race with an Impreza WRX STI. Making full use of this precious race-track experience at Nurburgring – in which any road condition is condensed – STI successfully completed the model in order to offer sheer excitement and unique driving feeling as a distinctive “Road Sport Model”.

The R205 delivers an increased 235kW (320PS) of maximum output, and 431N.m (44.0kg.m) by adopting the exclusively designed turbocharger with ball bearings for the turbine axle bearing, specially tuned ECU (Engine Control Unit), and the sport muffler with lowered back pressure exhaust. SI-DRIVE (SUBARU Intelligent Drive) is also available to neatly suit driving style in any driving situation at driver’s command.

The front under spoiler, newly developed rear under spoiler, and the black rear spoiler improve aerodynamics. Exclusively designed 18-inch alloy wheels, specially colored front grille and side STI garnish accentuate its uniqueness.
