Hypertech does it again with a newly released Hypertech tuner for the 2012-2013 Subaru WRX Turbo! Designed for the 2.5 liter boxer turbocharged four cylinder, the EJ255 has responded extremely well to the hand held programmer. The new Max Energy Sport Power Programmer will allow the new WRX owner to squeeze as much power from the engine in stock form, and will increase gas mileage significantly.
Still powered by the TD04 turbocharger, much of the improvement in design and execution comes in the way of intercooling and fuel efficiency for the the fourth generation Subaru. Horsepower numbers in stock form vary from the 227-230 horsepower range while available in five speed manual or 4 speed automatic transmissions.
Hypertech has rough estimates to power gains upwards of +8 percent, which can be further increased with additional tuning or adjustment to the turbo wastegate.
Increasing horsepower and torque is as simple as pushing a button with Hypertech’s Power Programmer III! Simply plug the Power Programmer into the underdash diagnostic plug, answer a series of “Yes/No” questions, and the Power Programmer does the rest. The Power Programmer is much more than a tuning chip. It is a self-contained automotive tuning computer!
When you connect the Power Programmer to your vehicle, its “smart” program instantly recognizes your vehicle’s powertrain by reading the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The VIN contains specific information on the engine, transmission, and drivetrain, which the Power Programmer decodes before it downloads the Power Tuning program that is precisely tailored to your car or truck.
