Hi All

Just thought it would be interesting to let everyone know how I got on with a recent upgrade I had done by wrc technologies last week. I searched the forums before I had it done, and wrc tech, just up the road from me, seemed to fit the bill.

I have an STI7 PPP and wanted an "upgrade package" to take it up to around 330-350 bhp. wrc tech's WRC 350 (for ppp) package looked to fit the bill nicely and came within budget.

wrc had it for the day and I collected it at 4pm when I got a call from Allan to say it was ready.

Car is transformed... on the dyno it went from 289bhp (PPP is supposed to be 300, yeh right... I do not know of one PPP that has achieved it yet...) to 339 bhp and torque went from 290 to a cool 350 Ftlb. The package consists of APS bits... top mount intercooler, cold air induction and ECU remap. I also added an APS dual vent bov for good measure.

The engine revs much more freely and you can feel the extra power/torque throughout the revs from 3200 to over 6500 (the standard ppp always felt a breathless at about the 5800 mark to me).

Drawbacks? Not sure about the fuel consumptjion yet (will have to see but probably seems about the same). The extra noise from the induction kit you will either love or get used to.

Allan was a top guy and made it clear what I should expect from the beginning. I got to test drive my car before I paid to ensure I was happy, and I also got before and after "dyno charts" for bhp, torque etc, which he went through afterwards.


Anyways... just wanted to share the experience... thanks again to Allan (and Chris whom unfortunately I did not get chance to chat with) plus the mechanic who fitted it, whom I met briefly (but don't know his name!).

PS There was also a silver sti 7 being done too (same mods)... I'd be interested in what they think of theirs if they read this too.

 

I was there last Thursday for a remap. Was yours a black bugeye?

 

I had my baby done @wrc-tech jdm sti 9
they give me 350bhp/370ltb
my car is a machine now.

 

Was this on Friday???? If so I may be the silver scoob you are talking about... but its a WRX, not STi.

I agree WRC did a great job and even called me yesterday to see if everything was ok. Now thats customer service!

 

Yep that was me last thursday! The black 02 plate. How did you get on? Pleased? Was it just a remap or a few more bits too?

cheers
Clarkey

 

No it was Thurday. Glad they did good job though! I wish them all the best...

Clarkey

 

sti 9 ? wow. I'm jealous :-)
Would love one... I'd go for a JDM STI too next time, maybe even the spec c...
cheers
Clarkey

 

STi 9's are 2003 model JDM's they onto 12's now if you keep the numbering

How Much ????????

 

Yes, it was in just for a remap. The difference is amazing. 312bhp, but with 332ft lb of torque.

 

BVM, how have you found the results as I was thinking of somthing similar myself, but just wondered if it wwould be worth it on a WRX.
Did you have a PPP on it to start ?

 

Some good figures there......
Has anybody had the WRC330 conv?? I am thinking about getting this - would like to hear from anybody who has had it done??

 

Dunno, how do you feel about 335hp and 310ftlbs? I'd say yes!

 

I had 330 conv done in June on a V7 sti no ppp..Transformed the performance of the car, went from 254bhp to 330bhp and 250FTlb torque to 350FTLb. Fuel consumption has remained the same.

 

what sort of price are these conversions if you guys dont mind me asking?

 

Heres the price lists on there website, and what conversions they do.

Well, Allan @ WRC gave me a really good deal. Lets just say, ECUTEK map adjustment and STi injectors installed for less than I would of ever expected to pay... less than 440, but more than 390!

 

had my evo 260 done there six months ago for 2K I've now got 360/360

well impressed with the service and having a brand new 360 BHP evo for 22K (no warrenty mind)

 

shame the type r aint listed, be interesting see what they could do to a version 4 type r

 

that is an expensive coversion from ppp to 350 as you have a good enough intercooler/fuel pump upgrade anyway imho
martin

 

anybody had the 400 conversion done mick

 

interesting read that (wrc tech) bit steep for the 280 wrx conversion imo

 

heres mine





all good so far

budgie

 

Is yours the type-uk model?

Those figures are just....................................

Cheers

 

yes it was standard before at
exept a h&s back box
265bhp and 250lb ft
