Hi All

I am new to this board. I have recently purchased an Impreza turbo MY 00 in Trinidad.

I was wondering whether anyone has been able to evaluate the Prodrive PPP minus the ECU? If so, can you tell me what one can expect?

Also, (I know that this may be an old topic but) can anyone suggest whether I should go with a K&N panel filter or a Blitz intake or just leave the stock intake filter?

Thanks

sunilp

Hey, no point in having a PPP without the ECU, you'll hardly gain anything.

If you dont have a remapped ECU then an ITG panel filter will be fine.

If you want to free up the breathing, youre better off with a scoobysport exhaust or the like. I certainly noticed gains when i went from the PPP system to a SS back box and magnex decatt centre. A peformance downpipe helps a lot too

Thanks for the good advice....

I must admit that I am a bit disappointed to hear that the Prodrive rear box and mid section are not as good as the SS equivalent...

Did you use the full PPP?

When you switched to the SS and Magnex mid box did you keep the Prodrive ECU?

Thanks again

SecretAgentMan

I'd like to know if a PPP ECU would work with an SS exhaust...

I'd like to get a little more oompfh, and the "ease" of the PPP ecu makes it a tempting choice...

But then again I'd prolly be better off with a mappable ecut.

I am running a PPP with Scoobysport downpipe,
custom mid section [from Scoobysport] and HKS Super Drager back box.
Absolutely superb.
I was running a complete HKS system but was forced to change my HKS Downpipe and centre section. The HKS system was great, I had no problems with it at all.
However, the downpipe has the wastegate blocked whereas the SS downpipe allows the wastegate gasses to flow through also.
The difference betweent the two is amazing.
I'm popping and flaming [albeit little ones]
whenever the car warms up now.
The turbo is also more audible and the wastegate too.
Having said that, I do like the look of the BPM and Scoobymania downpipes. They completely seperate the wastegate flow.
It would be interesting to see how these perform also.

Bajie

Oh yeah.
Downpipe is 2.5inch.
Centre is 3inch.
Backbox houses a family of field mice

I agree that it is ideal to have the remapped ECU to complete the PPP. However, surely there must be some gains to be had by freeing up the back box and mid box??

Any comments Mike Wood?

3:11am eh? How's the insomnia?

Or were you dreaming about buffing up all the member's' wives and woke up???

215 odd posts from Aug 2000 ain't bad going either.

Hang-on, just looked at mine - 440 since May...I'll get my coat.

LOL Dave and Sunil.

Sunil - perhaps if you spent less time in front of your pc in the evenings and weekends, you would be able to able to get a woman of your own, without having to dream about other peoples

Dave, i just got in after leaving your gaff at 3am

Diablo, are you really living in a *****, surely that is the wettest place on earth???

Back to the question in hand, I ran the PPP ECU as follows, and only changed one exhaust part at a time to gauge(sp?) the individual contributions.

1) PPP ECU, standard DP, Prodrive centre and rear box

2) PPP ECU, SS DP and prodrive centre and rear box

3) PPP ECU, SS DP, SS Back Box and Prodrive centre

4) PPP ECU, SS DP, SS Back Box, magnex decatt centre

Every time i changed a bit, the car definetely felt faster but the downpipe made the single biggest contribution, it just span up so quick

That's a big wardrobe you've got....

I reckon we're both destined for stardom

Diablo
HAH!! Sunlip is sussed! It's not just me that thinks he only has virtual women!!!

Dave T-S

Only saw your post after mine. That explains a few things - now i'm worried -Carolyn was away last night and I was on my own - fell unconscious after too much booze - no wonder I woke up with a sore bot - I thought it was the curry I had last night.....

Dave T-S

Sunlip
Sorry - in the quest to take the pi55 out of you I forgot about the thread - as the proud owner(s) of 2x full SS system from turbo back - d/pipes are good aren't they!!

sunilp

Well, its hard to tell as i put the downpipe on before the new rear and centre boxes, so whilst each change did give an improvement, its difficult to know exactly how much of the improvement is split by

1) What you just added
2) What you did before that adds a halo to what u just did.

Anyhow, i think you will be very pleased with the PPP and SS Downpipe. Made a hell of a difference to mine.

Even other owners who dont have even the PPP rave about it, also those who change from other manufacturers downpipes report improvements.

The ECU just allows a higher state of tune so you get more out of what you do to the rest of the car.

Enjoy!

Sunil

sunilp

Diablo, read my post again. i said "surely a ***** is the wettest place on earth"....didnt say you had to be there

sunilp

Sorry Dave, thought she feelt a little more ahem, "masculine" than normal

Great downpipes

Diablo

Sunil-

It is when I'm around

Trinidadian Scooby Fan

Sunlip

When you ran the full PPP with the SS down pipe was the performance much different from ths SS rear box and Magnex centre pipe?

In other words will I be pleased with the PPP and a SS down pipe?

thanks

Dave T-S

Hey Sunny P

Excellent - I've even got them calling you SUNLIP as far away as Trinidad now!!

P.S. Thanks for the compliment - it's those buttock tightening exercises i've been doing

SunilP

Forgive me for the wrong spelling.....

Thanks for the advice

I raced against an S3 Quatrro over the weekend at the local drag races and I was beaten...The S3 has been tuned by Ottinger (or how ever you spell it) I am stock...I over ran my gears any advice...??

I have a PPP on the way (minus the ECU)

I love the Scooby and wouldn't trade it in for much....Send me a P1 WR....

Advice guys....I need to beat these other guys in Trinidad.....

I had an Evo 4 challenge me yeesterday..But I ignored him....

sunilp

Well you wont beat them with a PPP minus the ECU!

Why dont you want the ECU?

What do you mean u overran the gears?, perhaps you ought to change up a bit earlier

Sunil

sunilp

Dave, it wasnt your butt that felt masculine, it was your mouth

Dave T-S

Sunlip
Couldn't say the same for your mouth - it's far too big

PS Are you coming to the Cambs meet this Sunday - I am eagerly waiting for the opportunity to abuse you in person!!

sunilp

Now why the heck would i want to go to a crappy place like Cambridgeshire.

Carolyn T-S

Sunil

Coz it beats staying in Surrey on a Sunday.

BTW - Sorry I missed you the other night

Dave T-S

Sunlip
Sorry - I forgot - Surrey's contribution to English culture - CROYDON

Cambridgeshire's contribution - Cambridge University.

What driving roads have you got - ah yes the Croydon ring road.

What have we got - ah yes hundreds of miles of relatively traffic free great driving roads.

I suppose the real reason you can't come all the way to Cambridgeshire is because you can't get a long enough extension lead for your PC to reach here.
