Can anyone comment on the difference in low RPM torque (1500-2500?rpm) between the 2.2 Sub conversion and the standard 2.1L WBX.
Is the Sub better or worse?

Every day I reverse up a steep driveway in close quarters.? If there was less torque I would not be happy.?? Subaru 2.2L is noticeably torquier than WBX even at idle.

I will ask the question again since the silence has been overwhelming.
Is there an improvement in low speed (rpm) torque with the Subaru 2.2 engine conversion as compared to the VW 2.1 WBX ?.
There MUST be someone on this list that can answer this.
Regards
John.

John,
I've not seen the torque curve chart for this engine, but it's tough
to increase the HP by 35% and not increase the torque. Most reports
I've read indicate that the seat of the pants registers a healthy
increase in torque. Come to think of it, I've never seen a chart for
the WBX, either. That's probably why you had few responses.

I too wonder why it's so quiet. I feel like the tree that fell in the woods.

I repeat that it's a noticeable increase right off idle. Backing up my steep driveway at 850 RPM it's noticeably torquier than the WBX.

If anyone can send me torque curves for Subaru and WBX that would be great. Anyone have back issues of Car and Drivel? I'll scan and publish them on my Urabus site ()
