LIFTED SUBARU CROSSTREK DYNO NUMBERS? STOCK TIRES VS MUD TERRAINS
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 05. 2018
- In todays video we take Thomas' 2018 Subaru Crosstrek and put it on the dyno in stock form. Then we put his larger off road tire setup on the car to see just how much wheel horsepower and torque is loss from adding 11.6Lbs per wheel of unsprung weight. This video is a prime example of why light weight wheels can make a huge difference in a cars performance.

👇👇 Drop your WHP guesses below and how much you think the Crosstrek will gain or loose with the KO2's👇🔥🔥🔥 👇
hey -- I see you all the time on 680. I'm in the blue Alltrack with the massive Thule and Rossi (Valentino) stickers. Chipped and a bunch of other "sleeper" goodies. I was going to go the lifted route, but recently have been leaning towards a Golf R setup. Anyway -- small world seeing your video on Jalopnik as I've seen you now a bunch and even got pictures of your car last year when it was just lifted w/the Method wheels, looked like you all were having a Subie GTG at the burger joint in downtown WC. I was eyeing the Method wheels and either redrilling them or doing wobbles, especially after seeing your car in person -- they just look soooooo good. But again, now I'm not sure if I'm going to go UP....or DOWN. :D
Bill McLaughlin III This is my buddy's Crosstrek But I have a 2017 Audi S3 so you should check out more of my videos as it seems like we're in the same circle.
haha dont think it was me! Ive only taken 680 to San Jose once in this car last October! You prolly saw an earlier model year
I'm heading from WC to Pittsburg on my commute, so where I'm seeing you might not be precisely on 680 (I also just moved here in Oct. '17, so I'm learning where things start/stop and names in general...ha)...but yes, it could be a totally random coincidence that someone else has a white Crosstrek lifted on Method's. Have you recently added a front brushbar and rear 5th wheel holder with a swingout on it? Because I just saw *that* one within the last week on the same stretch of road. (might be the 242 heading towards 4).
S3....niiiiiice. If I could get a wagon of any of the fun stuff in the VAG world I would've gone that route. Golf R Estate, any of the S/RS line w/Audi with a long roof would be ideal. Almost went Allroad but even it was a tad too "proper" for our liking. Traded in our Golf R for the Alltrack when we were prepping to move out here as we needed a little more room for the drive (VA to CA). Kept our R32 and had it trailered out so we still at least have that to have fun in. My buddies back in VA have everything from BT VR6 MKIII Cabrio's to bagged SQ5's, '18 RS3, Golf Rallye, Bynum VR6T GTI, Jetta Coupe VR6T, etc etc etc etc etc -- Roanoke, VA to Richmond, VA VW/Audi crew really don't fuck around. :) I'm not from there (from NY) and have lived all over the place (TX, ID, Italy) and it was nice to find a group of enthusiasts take it seriously and not just do "scene" bullshit.
Yes! This is what people want to see: before and after dyno runs when installing mods!
Thank you 😀
Keep up the good work 👍
Subie needs to WRX STI the Crosstrek. Now that would be an impressive Subaru.
I want the hatchback back soooooo baddd. So many abused 2014 hatchbacks out there that are hard to trust. Literally had to buy an outback. Not the same at all. Miss my clutch so bad.
Couldn’t agree more with you
Its too high fo sti it unless you want to pay 45k for a crosstrek. That would be an expensive suspension and brake setup just to help with the 300hp. You cant just upgrade the engine and call it a day. It would ride terrible. It would essentially be a complete overhaul and very expensive. I could see it if they did a sti forester as well but just for the crosstrek it is not profitable. The performance variants of subarus never really sold, just look at the legacy gt, 3.6r and the forester xt. Gone just to replace it with underpowered fuel efficient engines. Plus cafe standards would not make it happen. With all of subarus cars being awd except the brz, their mpgs are average at best. You have to have models above average to have others that are below average in mpg and lets be honest a 300hp crosstrek is only going to get 20mpg at best
They crosstrek'd the WRX. They heard y'all but got it backwards :D
This month I purchased an XV 2012 with a 2015 WRX motor, drivetrain and interior intalled.. it's beeeeautiful :)
Love.....not Horsepower....it's what makes a Subaru.......a Subaru....❤
@@zacharyreynolds4303 truth
2019: Late reply = Your CVT can hold up to 250hp before the belt slips and the transaxle bents, so you can push 220hp safely up into the engine with a 10psi turbo kit and it will work no problems, also its recommended to add an external larger CVT Tranny Fluid Cooler or a transmission cooler for shorts, it will prevent damage to the cvt while pushing more hp.
We did it twice so far, added a 10psi boost to a 09 lancer gts cvt and went from 160hp to 235, and added a 8psi boost to an altima cvt going from 180 to 220hp. No problems so far, CVT are great transmissions but automakers decided to cramp them with small coolers to save weight and costs, also subaru makes one of the best cvts in the market paired with their transfer awd cases that are awesome. Definitely worth doing a turbo instead of a supercharger on the 2.0 cause its more fuel efficient and delivers without parasitic loads on the engine!
This is a 6=speed manual transmission Crosstrek
It looks like you're right. The TR580 transmission rated at 580 Nm can hold probably a 206 lb-ft torque rating from the engine before blowing, assuming the stock 2.07x torque converter multiple.
The TR690 can hold about 280 lb-ft back. Assuming a stock torque converter multiple of 1.8x.
U can just buy a forester xt allready 250 out the gate
They have belts? No chains?
NA Subie on a dyno... "liked" before the ad finished.
Nice video Blake! Great job doing a before and after!
This is awesome dude!!
Man, really interested in one of these and know it isn't supposed to be fast, but this is pushing it!
Karl here in Denver, great video, guys. Thank you. Gotta rethink my tire mod ideas.
Karl Arndt nah, big tires are still cool, just makes you think about how much power your leaving on the table.
Nice video! Can you do a 60-0 braking test comparison.
Great video
The awesomeness of the wheel and tires surpass the hp drop IMO
If it's for offroading, you don't need to get there in a hurry. Suzuki Jimnys are great offroaders and they make 75kw/100hp and 130Nm torque.
Good job. I think instead of me investing on tires and rims. I think I’ll get the blisstein suspension instead. Great video. Although those wheels looks good on crosstrek.
Glad you guys made this video. I was planning to put beefier tires thinking it’ll look good , but looks doesn’t good for me. I’m all about efficiency.
Great video. I always wondered what the real HP was with stock and AT tires. Thanks.
Great video. Hook up an UEL header and K&N air filter and you gonna love you Crosstrek more and more. Thank you for your awesome videos.
did you do both? better performance? what about mpg?
New here! I'm subbing because i see Travis Barnes there! ;)
Thanks for the video! Just the confirmation I needed not to lift mine and put huge tires on for no reason.
Im glad you did it ...That was interesting ..................
Nice...ko2s look awesome. Hopefully once mine is paid off there will be a supercharger kit available.
I know there is turbo kits out there but can it be done and retain reliability?
Good Info - thanks !! Question: As you know, bigger tires show slower speed readings.
Did you guys have to make adjustments to the car's ECM/Computer Module to adjust the speedometer to compensate for the bigger tires with slower readings ?
I didnt. I just know after about 60 MPH, it will be about 3 MPH off the speedo.
Loving the content.
Thank you for sharing that is very helpful, I think you can compromise and go with a 225 tire and then find the 15-in rims the lightest ones you can and maybe you'll come to a happy medium, were you guys running the 2.0 or the 2.5 l engine that might take some consideration as well
I really need to see this.
TURBO IT! that would be awesome
I'm impressed with the stock wheel hp numbers. I would of guessed at around 110 wheel hp stock.
Now I've been thinking of doing the same wheels, but in 17x8 wheel size with the stock tires for daily. Gravel tires for track days.
I wonder what would happen if you use 17 inch 502s with something more hybrid off-road like the Michelin Defender LTX M/S. Would that give the best of both worlds - off road capability while maintaining stock horsepower?
I wanted to see 110 at the wheels and figured about 15 hp decrease. That’s actually mighty impressive for such a small little guy.
Just out of curiosity, would re-tuning the ECU to compensate for the bigger tyres work?
Have you guys lifted a stock Subaru WRX 2016? Any ideas or suggestions, it sounds loud but how does it feel driving inside ?
Nice video guessed 10hp loss
I actually loved the look of the crosstrek and wanted to get one to replace my WRX, but just couldn't do it cause of it's lack of power. So went with a Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk for a bigger more outdoor adventure vehical. If they ever make a WRX style Crosstrek I'll prob get one.
Travis at Snail is a Kingggg!
Would you know what the numbers would be for the 3.6 r outback lifted ?
Would love to see an updated vid with the new Crosstrek Sport and see how it performs. Yeah?
This is a real nice suspension / wheel setup. I wish this would be possible here in Germany. But there nearly no chance - or a lot of trouble.
Thanks nice to know
Just what I wanted to see!!! I'm still getting the Methods and KO2 even with a HP drop. Thanks for the video!!
Go with 215's and it will not be as bad. Only a 2.4lb increase over the Stock Limited wheels/tires
Rick Hutton ...yes sir I actually followed your advice after seeing your video when you got yours. Loving them so far!👍
The intro sounds like no quarter by zeppelin lol
Thanks for the test, gonna stear clear of bigger tyres.
I was thinking it might be worth testing AT tyres again but this time of the same dimension/rolling radius as the original tyres so you can see how much of the power loss is to do with tyre design and weight or just from increased tyre radius.
I’m in a tough spot with these crosstreks. I’m in the market for a new car and this is my first choice, but I’m holding out hopes the 2020 will actually see an option for a bigger engine.
Go for the 3.6 outback
2021 just came out with the 182 hp 172 trq 2.5 engine. def no turbo but should be alot better than 140s stock.
you got your wish - 2.5 in there now if you want it
You ever end up getting the 2.5?
Hybrid Forester?
How often should I be changing my CVT Transmission fluid ??
Hi from chile, i ahave xt 2015, u should do it in this model with turbo, that would be the next level, cause msny peolpe change the stock wheels to the ko2, but also for at g015 geolandar that arent so heavy....
What size life did you go with and tire size?
I just got the 2021 Crosstrek limited with the 2.5 liter motor with 185 HP.
this is what im going to do to my rogue haha
I am curious if the owner noticed a big difference in acceleration etc when going from stock to the 235's? I have Method's with 215/75's and really didn't notice a difference in daily driving? Even mpg stayed the same for the most part. Thank you!
I never really noticed solely because Blake and I did the lift install with less than 350 miles on the car. Ive commented on a few of your videos with little things ive noticed on mine. I also just replaced the drivers side fog cover like you had too a while back haha
Sweet thank you very much. I remember you did the lift and tires early. Cheers brother. Awesome video by the way.
Hay Rick, I'm thinking about picking up a Crosstrek myself and doing some mods also. The 215/75s that you put on yours how close are they to stock size wheels and tires? More importantly what were your MPGs after changing up your tire and wheel combination. I currently have an older Wrangler, (terrible milage) and this is one of the reasons I'm looking at jumping into a Crosstrek. Any information regarding your MPGs would be awesome. Thanks in advance.
Hmm, kinda inspires me to get more lightweight wheels. I don't care much for the crappy stock steel ones with plastic hubcaps that my car came with anyway.
Can’t find anyone who can tell me other than the strut spacers, is there anything else needed, to get the correct wheel alignment with a 2 inch front and rear lift on a 2016 Impreza?
What is the song in the intro? Some sort of remix of No Quarter by Led Zeppelin...
also curious
How about what's the MPG impact of that rack-of-all-trades versus bare roof?
The rack kills 6-8 MPG. I do not daily drive with the rack on. We had an event that weekend and used the storage up top so our dogs could ride in the back :)
6-8 mpg !??!? 😱
@@Vodafone16v If you only made 16 MPG like in an old full size pickup, and swapped tires, you might see 2 MPG drop. But since these cars make nearly 30 MPG I could see the tires affecting a lot more.
@@ryanhill906 Also, aero cars suffer much more from racks.
You should try the more popular 215/75 15 size.
Now we need dyno numbers on 225/65R17’s Yokohama Go15’s on stock rims and also 235/60R17’s Cooper Discovery A/T’s on stock rims! That would be an awesome video!
Did you guys recalibrate the dyno for the tire sizes or was it measured at the rollers?
My train of though is that the taller tire transferred over to taller/longer gears and gave a reduced power output more so than the weight of the k02s
Nicholas Butler yes, we calibrated the Dyno before each run.
Oh and you gotta tell me where to get the window deflector, is that weather tech?
Idk what these are but they definitely aren’t weather tech cause those go inside the windows not the outside
Cool dudes
what size tires are the bigger tires?
That's a huge tire for the car. 29" almost. Danggggg. I wish You could fit a 30.5 on a subaru outback but I think the biggest is 245/65/17 which is 29.5"
Hey what’s the difference in MPG? I’m looking at getting the same tire setup.
Im averaging 24/25 MPG. That is calculated trip miles/gallons filled. The on-board MPG readout is WAY high. Usually reads about 3 MPG HIGHER than what im actually getting.
My mpg with 215/75/15's is basically the same as when I had the stock set up on the car.
Past the side window visors at the last glass there appears to be some sort of covering. What is it?
Is this what you mean? www.subaruxvforum.com/forum/subaru-xv-members-journal/141530-chickens-crosstrek-2.html#post1718161
Here in our country 2.0 XV is around 90-100whp only
those chris fix hand guessers
Is there any aftermarket engine stuff for this? Even a kn drop in filter might help a touch. A true cold air intake might grab 10hp... not much for most but considering these things are scraping every crumb they can it might be worth it.
This car can be pretty quick. It is highly restricted, in terms of airflow, from the factory to achieve better fuel economy. Significantly increase the air flow and it'll go much better.
The best cold air intake is the stock design; just put a K&N panel air filter on for better flow. You can also get a high flow UEL and front cat pipe from AVOTURBOWORLD. Also get a custom, straight through 2.5" catback with high flow mufflers.
A custom dyno tune with a piggyback ECU will also give you a bit more power. Regardless, our MAF sensors will tune the AFR by itself when you add the parts on.
Do this and it will be as quick as a MK5/MK6 GTI; for good comparison.
There is a turbo kit for it.
DNA offers a cotton airfilter for Crosstreks. Intake spacers and a catback might add some power too.
140whp is much more than a "165hp" EJ253 which puts down like 120-125whp. I was guessing 100whp.
Same here. FWIW I've seen "other" dynos that don't show the #s this high. I was expecting 110whp to be a high number.
Great content any crosstrek owner would be interested to see... did the car have the CVT or the 6MT? Would that change the torque numbers or not matter?
6 Speed MT
I would imagine the numbers for CVT would be lower. IDK I absolutely hate CVT it's the worst thing ever. I hope one day Subaru will put dual clutch transmissions in because there so much better.
What did it do to mpg?
Just curious but I'm picked up a 2019 Crosstrek and want to put beef ear tires on however I know putting a lift kit is a pain because it's pretty extensive with those wheels and tires fit a Crosstrek not lifted without rubbing in the wheel well
can get the same wheels but smaller tire size
Dyno guy looks like Ted Bundy lol
I wonder what caused the greatest the loss in power; the increase in weight? Or the longer gearing?
Gears wernt changed
stupidchicken03 increasing overall wheel diameter directly affects gearing. Thats also why taller tires mess up your speedometer.
Increased weight definitively, the added diameter will have some mild effect, but weight on wheels do 80% to 90% of the loss here!
Can you tell me what the black thing is behind the door handle? I like it! If you think of it can you ask Thomas? I assume you know eachother.
This is Thomas, yuup Blake and I know each other haha. They are called "cupeez". I bought em on Amazon. They have different colors and designs. These are the "carbon fiber" ones to match the 2018 CF interior trim. They are magnetic backed. You heat them and mold them into the door handle area. Then they prevent scratches to the paint.
stupidchicken03 Sick! Thanks!
do those tires rub after the lift? I have a 2013 I am thinking of doing this with and its my daily so I want to avoid rubbing
This size, 235/75/15 WILL NOT, repeat - WILL NOT fit on a 2013-2017 Crosstrek without fender modification (cutting/hammering). The 2018 is the new global platform and has a larger wheel well.
@@stupidchicken03 I have a 2021 and am going through all of these mods now. Are there any you regret?
And performance mods that can be done to them beside turbo
Not really, beside turbo and internals you have exhaust and intake, which is minimal and not needed. If you have a manual you can put the short shifter of a 2015+wrx in it. Not the one from cobb though, the billetworkz one works. The mounting isn't the same. There is the pedal commander that changes the accelerator response which is much needed. Haven't personally used it, and it's expensive and i assume the reviews are just placebos for people who want to assure themselves that it's doing something. But yeah other than turbo there isn't much you can do without tearing the engine apart.
140/130 is great since it has to go through an AWD system. Wonder what the forester makes with the 2.5
The 2.5's numbers are generally lower. The new direct injected 2.0 is an amazing little motor. Look at the new WRXs and STIs, the 2.0 in the WRX with a Cobb tune (tune ONLY) will output more to the wheels than the STI does to the crank with the 2.5.
The wrx will put down more than 300hp to the wheels with just a tune?
Yeah, it's nuts. Cobb stage 1 tune. You might need the intake depending on air quality and the car, but they'll do it.
14 xt 250hp stock 323 with cobb stage 1 no mods
I think a 215/75/r15 KO2 would have verry little impact considering the 15" wheel is lighter than the stock 18". Problem here is that 235 are 36 lbs whereas 215 are 32 lbs, also given the higher dimension of the wheel, the extra weight has more impact since the position vector is longer (torque = force * position vector). An r17 or r18 Blizzak is about 30lbs so stock size KO2's should have little impact.
Supercharge the crosstrek in the future?
Patric Hagarty i dont think the factory stock engine can take a supercharger or a turbo without having to modify the tranny, radiator, brakes and tires.
If you have the manual version do a upgraded clutch and go nuts.
@@danielmelendez9943 idk about the CVT but all manuals use the same AWD system and according to what I've read on the internet (take a few grains of salt) the stock motor and trans can handle mods fairly well. Getting this car to 180-200 hp might not be that much of a stretch.
@@djw1091994 : so you are telling me that is possible that you can tune this car
@@albertomateo6116 from what I've read on forums yeah. A similar engine is in the brz it seems. That said mods do seem to be taking their sweet time...
Anybody know of anybody that sell lifts for 2018 VW Tiguan. Looking for 2-2.5" on stock tires.Would be a great help. Has to be somebody in the USA.......Thanks
How viable is turboing one of these engines? I don't know if it's the same as the WRX / STI platform but I'm surprised not more people have gone FI on these. I think 200hp crank would be good enough.
It's just a task and a half. There is a turbo kit for it, but whether it's reliable or not is questionable as nobody has done it. It's also $4k which is reasonable, but that's alot of money for something that cohld break your basically brand new car.
@@mattevans1643 so it’s not worth the trouble, gotcha. Went ahead and upgraded my car shopping list to the outback. Been owner of an XT for 2 months and couldn’t be happier. Gas bill has been a little troubling though so I keep it under 60mph on most days. Turbo pulls pretty nice in the 2.4.
what about put supercharge in it
elevation?
Ive been told by a couple people it feels like a slug because of how the throttle is programmed. When you floor it there is something keeping it from going to full power right away.
Edward Sessum there is a charcoal filter just behind the air filter I'm going to remove mine it is plastic welded in my friend said he got better gas mileage by removing this unknown if the dealer would ever know you remove this unless they put a air filter in your car when they serviced it I always put my own air filter in after they change the oil I'm going to try that and see how much better,, he said he gets about 3% better gas mileage I wonder if these guys remove it if it will do better on the dyno it definitely blocks a lot of airflow
James Heisler found out it doesn’t benefit much. Aftermarket air filter helps much more because the stock filter flows much less than the charcoal one
I am just guessing, but I am thinking the computer when it is new, is programmed to help protect the engine til the break in period is over, or it learns from how you drive it. When I first got it you had to push down the throttle quite far before you started to feel any difference in acceleration. After I reached over 800 miles on the engine, it started becoming quite responsive. From about 1000 miles to the 10000 it has on it now, I get immediate response, and it can get quite peppy when you floor it. I have the cvt model. Not wrx power, but all the power I need, and I have raced autocross for the last 38 years, who likes to drive it like I stole it, once in a while. With a combination of mostly highway, sedate, driving but some city, boisterous on ramp, truck, traffic, and uphill passing, I am getting an average of 31 miles per gallon, calculated.
My 2016 feels like the throttle mapping is set high when you first press the throttle. I think the reason it's sluggish is because of the cvt, it doesn't really choose the best gearing in some situations and kinda bogs. I still like it just fine since it's my wife's DD. I have the method 502 with 225/70/15 grabber at2's. Great car for us
Great test but:
Wheel,tire, and wheel tire combo weights would have been useful. And tire pressures.
3:24 it says the weights
hey Blake, what about lightweight rims & tires, not stock one. anddd.. if you think turbo charge the engine would be good thing for long run? I saw after market turbo available for this model from AVOturboworld.com .. I appreciate for your opinion on this. Thanks!
Is this a CVT or 6MT? CVT dyno numbers can be misleading... great vid tho
6MT
The 11.6lb per wheel, does that include the difference in tire weight? Seems like that wasn't taken into account.
That is wheel and tire on a scale 11.6lb difference
Hey, Can you tell me about your roof rack?
Check my channel I have a whole video breakdown
no lift kit required to replace stock wheels?
elomeli71 I run 235 yokahama all terrains on the stock wheels with no lift and have no issues.
Guessing 117 WHP with stock tires before number is revealed.
My mum just got a cross Trek with a six speed, it’s not a bad car to drive! It’s just very slow
Scott Duncan VERY. I once outran one on foot while at 350lbs lmao ...
What's the MPG drop with bigget tires?
I just came from another video where he said he was getting 23/26.
Wheel weight shouldn't affect horsepower, but extra rolling resistance from soft tires may do some damage.
bzacon it does affect whp though
The effect on gearing is what kills it.
They should get the torgue way up on these and add a tow package. Then I may consider getting rid of GAS sucking truck and buy one of these. Just need to pull my darn boat out of my ramp...That's it. No real towing involved, but I still don't think this little car will pull 3800 lbs of bass boat out of the water and onto the driveway? Any thought?
will their really be a turbo, 260'ish HP Crosstrek coming?
no
There is a $5000ish kit, good for 340ish
Why not the off road wheels with stock/normal tires?
Larger sidewall on the tires = more cushion while driving off road
There goes my dream of wanting to buy a Crosstrek.....😄
Really? Just because of HP? There are so many more factors off-road.
What model/size BFG are those?
KO2 235/75/15
stupidchicken03 Thank you!
Let's see you drop a turbo on that b
Deveria nser imposible el incremento ya que el MuD terrain tiene mas perimetro que el standard...favor alguien explique este incremento de potencia...
Pero si perdio potencia, los numeros mayores corresponden a la rueda original mi amigo, fuerza con el ingles!
I’m going with a lift & stock tires.
