as above and its a import.

 

anyone?

 

280ps on jap fuel I think?

 

I'm sure i read that they're 280PS which is 276BHP

 

TD04 turbo........ so 240 ish


Thats the wagons anyway,saloons i think have the same turbo?

 

THE WRX IS MOSTLY AROUND 260BHP.

 

Dont you just love forums?

If its a WRX Saloon its rated at 276bhp: if its a 'Wagon then its rated at 237bhp. Both of these are assuming higher octane fuel than we have so Id expect to lose up to fifteen bhp from the Saloons figure, but a good deal less from the 'Wagon.

Only real way to tell is get it on a rolling road. In theory if it is all completely standard and brand new then it would be making 276 if it were run on Japanese fuel.

On UK fuel, less, if its high mileage, even less, if its been modded maybe more etc.. etc...

 

The standard 96-00 WRX (not STi) made 260ps or 256 bhp
The standard 93-95 WRX made 240ps or 237 bhp
But this was only when run on the jap high octane fuel

 

It was the 96-00 STi's that made 280ps/276 bhp

 

Rubbish! 1993 & 1994 WRX Saloons were rated at 240PS. 1995 & 1996 WRXs were rated at 260PS. MY97 onwards Classics were rated at 280PS.

 

Seconded!

 

Thirded.

Trust me, GC8 knows his stuff with regards different models. As I think he said, it will be 280 ps on jap spec fuel, slightly less here as standard.

 

nice reasoned debate there simon

can i ask a genuine question please. the wrx saloons were rated at 276bhp, so what were the sti's of the same MY?

 

They were rated at 280PS too Andy but the factory quoted torque figures were more impressive. I havent ever owned or imported an STI, but I believe that (the later cars, V3s onwards certainly) they were good for closer to 300PS in reality.

Simon

 

so just mentioned as 280ps due to the "gentlemans agreement" in japan, as i heard the skylines were supposedly closer to 310bhp over 276ps

 

I have a 99 Sti v6 which i have a print out as stock and a print out with a mines ecu before it was exported from Japan (pick it up next week).

Stock - 296bhp
Mine's - 329bhp

Throw an exhaust, induction, fmic ec into that equation and im goin to be poor for having to buy new big brakes lol.

 

MY99 is rated at 276BHP and runs a VF29 turbo.

 

Id missed this: only late UK cars used the FE TD04, JDM vehicles used the IHI turbocharger, as stated above (assuming that we are talking about Saloons?).

Simon

 

Mine had a vf28????

 

The VF28 was standard on the STI V5.
