Depends, if we get another free run, as soon as poss, but if we have to pay ummmmmm not sure, i can afford the 45 pluss vat just to get the real reading of my car.

Would be cool if we could make it soon though

 

I'm going to speak to the dealer first. If they can find something then I'm straight down for a re-run. I'll also speak to JN's at sometime and see what their prepared to do.

Steve - I'll keep you posted. It would certainly be good to put another MY01 PPP on at the same time for reference. (I'm also going to get an ITG Filter).

Kev S

 

Kev, if you speak you JN can you mention that there are a few of us in the same boat, and keep me informed.

I am prepared to phone them as well (dont want you to think im leaving it up to you)

Let me know where we are taking it

steve

 

Steve,

Are you thinking of the SCoobysport up & down pipe? As this was my next thought. I know the warranty is out the window but I was also tempted. May speak to TSL.

I need to be sure there's nothing wrong though first.

Kev S

 

hi kev
yes to the scoobysport stuff.
chap at dealer said no real problems with warenty , if i need to claim i can take the stuff off and claim.
Also only the think in direct contact with the non subaru part is invalidated. turbo gulp,
reading the hand book
steve

Going to get this sorted tomorrow.keep u updated

has anyone the bhp gains for the scoobysport down and up pip with ppp?
cost of ss exhaust stuff and fitting as well?

steve

 

Dont quote me on this but.

The up pipe is £125+vat and the downpipe is £180+ vat. They need £28 of gaskets and £30 of studs, plus 4 hours work at £42ph+vat. So that's a total of £623.93 incl vat. And a further £50 + VAT if you want the check engine light fix board.

Power around 270 bhp. Loads of Torque.

Nathan..

i won't quote u.
ordering tomorrow me thinks.
steve

 

If you guys are booking another day at John Noble to sort out the strange bhp results, you can add my name to the list.

Mine produced 240bhp on the day, but with an air temp of 36 degrees.
It would be nice to get the air temp down to at least 20 degrees like the early morning runs, that should in therory increase the result.

Also what boost were you guys running, after peaking at 15psi mine levels out to 14psi all the way.
i've also been running 100ron petrol for the last 3 tanks with a reset ecu.

Let us know what gets arranged, i was thinking about buy a Scoobymania centre pipe and having a run before and after.

Kevin

 

dealer not much help. said would have word with mechanic
also asked if i could ring prodrive
steve
how you get on kev

 

Steve,

Not spoken to them yet but plan to drop in on the way home as I'm passing.

Will let you know

Kev S

 

Seen the dealer tonight and have left a copy of the graph. They are going to speak to Prodrive tomorrow.

I'll keep you posted.

Steve - I have noticed the peak torque was at 4160rpm which is very low. What was yours at?

Does anyone know the correct power and torque figures and what is the rpm. I thought peak torque was 4500rpm or more.

Kev S

 

yep mine 4170 rpm
max power at 5640 rpm 102mph
max torque at 4170
max speed 117
max rpm 6460
hows that compare

what yours m8
my dealer not much help
try another i think
steve

 

Steve,

You need to be more pushy mate like me.

You also show a max torque at low rpm, mines 4160rpm. Dealer though max torque was 5000rpm.

Max Power was at 6070rpm.

I'll let you know what he says tomorrow.

As the say "Never give in, Never Surrender"

Kev S

 

yep i am off again tomorrow
steve

if not off to another dealer

 

Steve,

If the dealer won't help I'm going to speak to Prodrive myself. (And the number is 01295 273355)

Let's hope they are prepared to take it seriously.

Kev S

cheers m8
will try both again tomorrow , if i get no response i will start to look at getting me money back for the ppp, maybe that will get the bu@@ers moving
steve

 

Here's my powergraph from PE if its any help

Slightly modded 01ppp

 

RB5SCOTT,

What's the mod's. That's so much healthier looking than mine. (Must get it scanned). Mine drops off at 4160rpm??? (Torque that is).

Kev S

[Edited by Kev S - 2/18/2002 7:14:54 PM]

 

wow must have lead in ya pencil
real?
steve

 

286 bhp with 273lb/ft

Full de-cat, ported headers and APS induction kit are the 'Power Toys'. Then a Forge dump valve and HKS fuel controller


Scott

 

I have a magazine article comparing scoobies. The rb5 max torque is at 3500 rpm. Most of the rest are around 4000/4100 so your rev range doesn't seem too far out
Even so reading this article and the collection of figures has confused me more than ever

 

kev
any luck!
if not try prodrive very useful !
will email you off board
steve

 

FYI

 

whats this restrictor look like!
i believe there is a diff in look between the prodrive replacment and the original
steve

ps got it out on me desk nowwww

 

Steve,

Haven't go a clue mate. Speak to you dealer or give Mike Wood a call.

Would be interested myself.

My car is going in Thursday for a check on the boost it's producing. (Must get a boost gauge).

Kev S

 

kev
off on hols for a week car getting booked in after that.
gettting a boost gauge as soon as poss
looks like we will get this sorted
steve

 

Just a note. i have a boost gauge and PPP on my MY01.

i see 1.1 bar min - sometimes 1.4 in higher gears. I do notice that this fluctuates a lot. So one day i get 1.4 all the time, next day just 1.1!!!

Does the bar figure relate to the torque of the car or the bhp (or both )????

I take it i wouldnt see 1.4 bar EVER if this restrictor hadn't been fitted??????

I've emailed my dealer to check it was fitted. How easy is this pipe to remove - and are there any dangers in doing so??

Cheers

Jza

 

Jza,

I'm not even sure where the pipe is but will certain find out over the next couple of days. From looking at your figures it sounds like you have the correct restrictor and things are working OK.

The guy on the rolling road said both my car and Steve's were producing 1bar, which sounds low for a PPP car. I believe 1.2 to 1.3 is normal. Not sure why it should vary though.

I will keep this thread posted on the outcome.

Cheers.

Kev S
