I’ve got the uprated pro- drive quad exit rear box If anyone’s interested......this is the upgraded 3.5” tip exhaust that came on the 330s cars.

better sound and larger tips than the small standard
ones....

Its just come off my car.

let me know.

 

Yep!

6th gear, about 60 - 70 but LOTS of 50 mph limits for smart motorway building ... over a 260 mile run, but as soon as back to normal motorway driving ( or even a hill ) or worse town driving, drops very rapidly ....

 

quick question, whats the real world limit for power on a standard STi hatch turbo?

 

For safety or what can it make?

A remap on my std 330s took it to 360, then sports cat and remap to 374 bhp.

Common? wisdom on thes 2.5's was to keep it under 400, probably 370 ish until forged.


Mine did blow head gaskets and ringland failure after 3 1/4 years and 35000 miles !!!

 

I had mine mapped by Andy Forrest recently and I'm still on stock turbo, he mentioned around 380bhp being the most he'd look at

 

Interesting stuff, definitely looking for safe numbers but it would seem that I can get quite a lot more from my 330 once the rebuild is completed, without needing to swap out the turbo straight away.

 

I had 418bhp and 438 ft lbs from a billet vf48 with aquamist methanol injection.....spool was unreal and went very well.

 

I also had 400bhp from a billet vf48 , just pump fuel

 

Is there a lowering seat bracket for the driver's side Recaro seat?
Also is the leather real or faux leather?
The driver's side bolster has seen better days and if I get it repaired I may as well replace that leather section.

Edit: I've found this: https://www.japanparts.com/parts/detail/20602

 

And you were also browsing some STI rear supports and spec c shocks, weren't you?

I think hedgecutter is teasing me as he knows suspension is my fetish

Btw, I have a creak from the driver's Recaro seat when cornering that is annoying, has anyone else experienced this and how have you solved it?

 

Fair cop. Guilty of extensive Japanparts browsing. Damn knowledgeable computer techs

 

But Fpan didn't deny it !!

 

I did look at the suspension the RA uses (yellow Bilsteins and STi pinks) although I am happy with the 20th anniversary's suspension so far.
When the dampers need replacing I will either replace them with the same or the setup from the RA.

 

 

 

Closed deck with standard 2.5” 330s decat exhaust, standard headers, rcm precision turbo....made
478.9 bhp and 445 for lbs.......(aquamist methanol injection)

Same setup......had some work done.......3” full
exhaust, rcm unequal headers, Harvey up-pipe, 4 bar Map sensor.....Bob Rawle remap......made 525bhp and 568 ft lbs........pulls like hell (AND STILL ON STANDARD TMIC!!)

 

 

got any graphs for both them?

im targeting about 420bhp on mine with a GT3071r / full 3" / ETS FMIC / ID 1050cc injectors etc but what your getting makes mine sound like i spent way too much money to achieve 400-420bhp! final piece of jigsaw is still to get injectors fitted tho

 

Long time ago, but my old 330S drivers seat developed that creak too. The dealer replaced the seat brackets under warranty

 

Thanks urban.
It comes from the front left of the driver's seat.
I've ordered a Kansai lowering seat bracket, hopefully that will solve it (if the seat bracket you refer to is the same item I am going to replace).

 

I only remember seeing how much the the warranty claim invoice was to Subaru - approx Ł800, took them maybe half an hour to fit it

 

Sure i now own that car and it still squeaked

I wd-40'd it and its been fine since.

 

Wow Ł800!!!
I'll take it out and have a look at some point, perhaps the metal strings/springs under the cushion are at fault.

 

Common issue, mine did it with original and 330 Recaros.

Ive not worked out exactly what causes it.

 

Yeah got both graphs mate. PM me you’re email and I’ll send across. No matter how many times I try to upload on here it just will not work for me!

 

Recently picked up this Wrx-S for the other half.

 

I've got the same problem uploading files from the computer here, don't know why.
