Hi,

I was wondering if there was actually any difference between the engine in a p1 and the equiv year STI engine?

Anything special edition which would be tarnished by dropping an STI lump in intead?

C

 

Engine wise they are both exactly the same, assuming your talking about a version 5 / 6 STI.

 

yes.

Thats what i wanted to hear

 

Isnt there a 2.2 in the p1/22b? Are the bhp/torque figures the same?

 

22B has a 2.2. P1 is a 2.0

 

As above - 2.2 engine is 22B only, the P1 engine is the same as STI 5 / 6. It's the P1's exhaust system and ECU which are the unique bits.

 

Thought the sti had different cams?

 

p1 is a sti v5 with uk parts to make it ok for the uk market!

 

Apart from those stupid Broquets that MAY be the reason why so many engines in the P1s have failed.
of course it may not

 

Lol Forgot about the magic beans in the tank... must be good for at least 30bhp!

 

V3 Type-R has a more aggressive cam........

 

Question is then, is they are both the same, do the JDM STI engines suffer from the same problems the P1 engines occasionally suffer from?

 

Nope... they suffer from the same problems as the P1 engines _regularly_ suffer from!!

 

 

no because the STI is mapped on the grade of fuel available in its own domestic market.
The P1 has had stuff added to the tank to try to increase the fuel to that available in its own domestic market.

Search broquets, the guy punting them out was mouthing off left, right and centre but has gone decidely quiet since...

 

so the type R has a different engine to the STI then?

I thought the STI cams were good up to about 400/500 bhp? why would the type R have different?

 

The version 5 / 6 Type R doesn't have a different engine
