Just been reading a thread on a pug site and one of you lovely WR1 owners has a 365BHP & 350Ib Ft torque WR1???

The additional power has been acheived by a straight through exhaust with prodrive back box ------ a re-map ------ and a dump valve. hmmmm


Is this true or are you biggin it up a bit tooooo much ??????

 

biggin it up way too much IMHO cant believe someone would get a £30,000 wr1 and then dump the warranty , but i may be wrong.................

 

who is the crazzzzzy ****,,, Mr, stupid,,, should have gone for the Type 25 is that what they where after and warrenty was not an issue.

My WR1 is as it come's, other than mud flaps and the strut brace which is on order.

Nothing like that untill the warrenty run's out.

 

Lol. Fantasy Island methinks.

 

LMAO counjering up images of the little bloke running around going its me its me............

 

there Is such a car about! wont mention any names as leave that to them!

steve

 

Which Strut Brace have you gone for??....................I fitted my Prodrive Black Flaps yesterday (after the 1000 Mile service)!!!

Now the car looks more complete.................and it goes extremely quickly (MY NECK HURTS! )

 

ERRRRR Nope you're completely wrong I know the car and can vouch for the wicked speed an sound lol

 

I think I was behind this car last saturday evening actually, and next to him on the dual carriageway was Supercue!

 

LOL has to be Gangsta !!!

 

if it was gangsta and he has 365bhp then the talk about the 911 would be true and id need to apologise

gangsta r u there????

 

I would do exactly the same, good on him

 

Well there is only a 1 in 500 chance of seeing which one it is if you had a list of owners!
Wouldnt have bought a WR1 and tune it to that though, considering that its already a tuned car rather than standard as stated the type 25 would have been better or a JDM car to go from there (plus it probably still understeers to hell )

Tony... you forgot to mention in a thread that you've got a spec C. Surely that's a first . After all EVO do say it's the second best Impreza you can buy nowadays

Tony.

 

Can't see what the problem is with 365bhp? Can't remember what turbo it is on that as standard (I'm pretty sure the limiting factor with the mentioned minimal mods), but 365 isn't exactly tricky.

 

Big yawn

Yes Mr Burns we've heard your thoughts so many times before.

Big yawn

Do u have this reply saved so u can just paste it into every thread that mentions a WR1?

Big yawn

Gee

 

The thread on the pug site says he has kept his UK warranty ..... If that is true then I guess the reast of you WR1 owners should be viewing up at your dealers doors about now

 

If the owner wasn't 22 and could get insured on one I'm 150% sure he would have bought a T25! I know him personally!!!

 

[QUOTE=hawkeye]if it was gangsta and he has 365bhp then the talk about the 911 would be true and id need to apologiseQUOTE]

I think if you pm an apology he'd accept it.
Gangsta maybe Mr Bling but he wouldn't bull5h1t on here about racing a Porche

Sorry Gangsta you posted just as I was composing LOL

 

Is it the guy who lives in Andover? if it is then he was following me up the road in it last night and I know him ........ Still not sure about the warranty though?

 

Nah he is an Essex Lad through and through

 

As I said I know guy - he is like a brother to me ... he lives in Essex - no where near andover Gutmann.

You seem to be having a major problem getting you're head around 365 hp. The WR1 is 320 standard ... decatted exhaust and remap would take it to 365 with no problem at all!! Nothing in it really! Do you own, or have you ever owned an STI mate ... very easy cars to modify and increase BHP/Torque on!

 

Not possible on the std turbo (for more than 10 mins)

End of story

Cheers

Simon

 

It already has a sports cat as standard so decatting the downpipe will give minimal gain. It has also been remapped to take it upto 320 & I don't think you can get much more safely out of it than that. Maybe another 10 or so but that is it IMHO.

Darren

 

Has the car been dyno'd if so where or is that figure just the usual guestimation?

 

Intriguing comment Mr Lines. I'm tempted to ask you to expand on this but I'm not hopeful of a response It's the "for more than 10 mins" bit that's intriguing. Margin of safety required for a warranted car versus one that is unwarranted perhaps?

Ah well....

 

thats 320ps though

 

The reason so many are skeptical about it Gangsta, is that it is a very extravagant claim given the turbo and injectors used.

Erm, no, that's not the way it works, and claiming otherwise shows more than a little ignorance on your part. Don't forget that the WR1 has basically the same engine as the (265ps) STi Type UK, already has a hi-flow cat and an aggressive remap to bring it to 320. A full decat isn't worth too much extra in these circumstances, and the engine is already pushed pretty close to the edge of safe boundaries with the 320ps map.

You are likely to find that the better respected mappers wouldn't take a car with a VF35 much further than 340 bhp or so, as any more than that, as Simon intimates, restricts the reliable expected working life significantly.

Every component on the car has its limits. The figures you're talking about are beyond what the standard WR1 power unit can comfortably do. Thus, either the figures are distorted, or this engine isn't going to last too long.

BTW, Wacky B - whether we're talking safety margin on a warranted car, or safety margin full stop, is a moot point as the car we're discussing no longer has an engine warranty on it.

 

Greasemonkey ... maybe you could clear up a few things for myself and a few others on here. Namely,

1) Do you have any connection with Subaru/Prodrive or the like
2) If not then where did you aquire you're information about these engines.

The reason that this guy doesn't post up on Scoobynet about his car is precisely because anyone on here who has stuff said about their car is slated by people like Greasemonkey and others who flow around rubbishing everybody elses cars. I as well as a number of others who have posted already know that this car is pushing the figures stated - I've seen the EVIDENCE!!!

Perhaps instead of flaming me and this guy who you don't know and have never met and have never experienced driving his car you could just perhaps leave it!! The evidence in this case is overwhelming and sort of puts you and you're STATISTICS into their place.

The car exists, people have seen it and experienced it - end of story!!

 

Owned impreza's long have we?
THE best impreza out of the box that you can buy is the Spec C, simple fact, no doubt you havnt driven one? (apart from the subtle differences in the engine, A-DCCD with mechanical rear diff and not a suretrac one extended wheelbase, quickrack steering, auto and manual intercooler spray with a 12ltr tank in the boot etc etc etc) but it isnt for everyone as its quite a harsh every day car (plus you dont get much in them).
If you look though the Prodrive thread though you will see i acutally stand up for the WR1 (take a peek if you want ) but i still rate the JDM cars MUCH higher than what we get over here, that includes the WR1 which is just a tuned 265ps car.

Tony
PS did i mention i own a Spec C anywhere in that lot?
