My hawk 2006 JDM made
Untouched 295bhp
Remap for uk fuel 329bhp
MILTEK exhaust and remap 351bhp
The problem maybe because the engine advance is cut back due to detting as Jap map is 100ron and remapped to uk97 Ron

That is impressive. I am tempted to get mine mapped once the exhaust has been fitted as it has never been modded and was imported new it may still have the JDM map.

I had my my05 jdm remapped with 3 port and on 97 Ron fuel to make life easier, mapper told me about 340 after map but tbh it doesn't feel any different to standard Jap map, so they must be good out the factory and defo in the 300 to 320 bracket, so comparable to a wr1
Here's some of the differences the MY06/MY07 JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) STi has over the UK version.
• JDM is 2.0ltr UK/Europe is 2.5ltr
• Twin scroll turbo
• Nitride coated, cross drilled crank
• 13:1 STi quick rack
• Slightly larger intercooler design
• Auto and manual intercooler spray (UK get manual activation only)
• More aggressive inlet cams
• Equal length headers
• Electric folding wing mirrors
• 235 width tyres (UK get 225)
• 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th same as UK, 5th and 6th are shorter
• Front STi titanium strut brace
• 8,000rpm redline
Spec C
The MY06 Spec C is approx 90Kg lighter than the standard STi due to the following changes:
• Rear wash wipe **deleted**
• Privacy glass **deleted**
• Deadlocks **deleted**
• Boot trim and carpet **deleted**
• Passenger sun visor **deleted**
• Grab handles **deleted**
• Ski hatch **deleted**
• Glove box light **deleted**
• Isofix child seat fixing point **deleted**
• Underseal **deleted**
• Sound deadening **deleted**
• Map lights **deleted**
• Speakers in rear doors **deleted**
• Centre diagonal inertia seatbelt **deleted**
• Side airbags **deleted**
• HID headlights **deleted**
However, the Spec C has the following changes over and above even the JDM STi:
• Thinner lightweight glass
• Lightweight roof
• Aluminium boot lid
• 12 litre intercooler spray bottle mounted behind the rear seats
• Different radiator and water pump
• Engine & transmission oil coolers
• Roller bearing version of the twin scroll turbo
• Rear strut brace
• Lightweight front subframe
• Performance revolving chamber fuel pump (anti surge)
• Black seats, door panels and carpet
• Stiffer chassis with revised welding
• Larger intake pipe
• Roof vent
• Smaller 50 litre fuel tank
• Smaller lightweight battery

At least I only have to do a quick cut n paste. Poor old Tony must like hitting his head against a wall answering one of the most common questions. 
Still it's better than the "How fast does yours go?" type questions. lol

But a coating would surely cover the outer surface rather than be taken in as part of the composition of the base material, albeit only in a thin layer. So paint is a coating for example, but nitriding is a process designed to alter the mechanical properties of the component.
So you have a 'nitrided crankshaft' rather than a 'nitride coated crankshaft' (which would imply that nitride is a product rather than a process).
If nitriding increases the dimensions of the item, I'll accept it's a coating (of sorts), but if not, I'd argue it's a process.
I hope this is taken in the spirit of friendly banter in which it is intended incidentally. I'm not trying to be argumentative (just pedantic!) I'll also happily wear sackcloth and ashes if I'm wrong.
