hi guys, when i bought my uk turbo 2000 my95 i was told it was running 264 bhp @ 0.9bar with a rr printout to prove.i got the printout with the car and it is correct but how can this be as the only mods are:-

glas flowed scoobysport downpipe
decat centre
h&s backbox
panel filter
blitz bov
samco turbo hoses

i just had the ecu out to check if it was the right one 7d??? is that correct,no chip inside either.
if this figure is correct and i was to fit a scoobyecu chip would it take my scoob upto around 300bhp??

it does certainly run as well as a 260bhp car?? have no 4x4 rr centre near me to check it either. what ya think???

 

I might be wrong but the car is 240bhp standard?

The extra 28 bhp could be for a number of reasons... either a very optamistic rolling road (was it a MAHA or DynoDynamics) or you have been very lucky and have an engine made from blue-printed parts - occassionally they use these at the end of production runs...

 

you are wrong,power on my95 is 208bhp std, power figure maybe correct but not truly accurate ie very cold early morning run rollers not tight enough boost wound up for rr day etc, with the mods i would etsimate it to be around 240ish??

 

I thought that the standard UK classics had 208bhp or ps?????

 

the 1st 4 mods will alter performance but the last 2 do nothing.

 

my95 2000 uk was 208bhp as standard, so the figures quoted above give an increase of 56bhp?

A full de-cat + panel filter will not give those gains, so something else like a chip has been added or the rolling road was fubbered!!

thats exactly what i am saying!!

 

thats what i thought?? strange

 

0.9 Bar is not standard Boost, check under the bonnet for a bleed valve/ Dawes device, is it still runing 0.9, do you have a boost gauge in at the moment ?
Also, some people put octane booster in when going for a RR to give a high BHP figure, bragging rights and all that

 

no,running 0.8 now,0.9 on a cold night. i thought 0.9 was standard?? no bleed valve or boost controller.
its a car that was sold on ere and bought on ere then sold to me through ebay.

 

0.8 is right std boost pressure on ealry impreza (uk) later cars my99 run 1.bar std.

 

I doubt that figure.
Is the a boost curve on the RR plot. If so what was it reading.

It may of had a bleed valve or a dawes fitted during the rolling road run, which was removed when sold.

that figure stacks up with running about 1 bar which is just about achieveable via a bleed valve etc..and still be just under the standard ECU fuel cut level.

A few years back I got about 246BHP (I think, was a long time ago) running just under 1 bar and no decat.

this is the car i bought in april this year from the bloke who bought it off the bloke in the thread!!!

 

Well 0.9bar isn't standard, as stated above.
Standard boost is 11.47psi which is 0.79bar.
I would still guess it had a Dawes valve fitted at the time.

Perhaps the Corbeau seats make the difference.... I can see the Corbeau factory accross the road from here and every car that comes out of there seems to shift......
