Anyone else can't get more than 240bhp
Trying for 9 mths now
Last chance Power Station on the 2/9 to tune unichip.

Fitted now
:- Unichip
Downpipe
Backbox
Boost controler HKS Running 1 bar
95 jap WRX
Any sugestions welcome

 

Powerstation reads lower than others. Try higher boost (obviously is Powerstation are happy).

 

If 240 @ Powerstation then probably 260ish at Power Eng.

Instant increase, see

Or do you want it to really go faster?

Thanks Richard
You think 240 is about right then I was hoping for 280 ish
yes nothing but super since inport.

John,

Sorry, I might have confused you with my comments:

You should get more than 240 on your wrx, I only got 240bhp due to the small TD04 turbo on the UK models running out of boost at high revs.

At high rpms (where the high power is calculated) you should be able to hold the boost much better with your larger turbo and probably get close to 280bhp.

Also, as previously said the powerstation dyno reads a lot lower than the power engineering one. I would expect anything from 15-30 bhp difference between the two.

Look at the scoobynet dyno sites to get a rough idea of what spec gets what power.

Rich


Edited to say: I have just had a browse myself and its makes amusing reading, some of the UK cars that are listed on both dynos have around 30bhp difference for no apparent spec change.

Going on my results I would expect to be 270bhp+ at power engineering

I may be confusing myself here

The 240 was what I got at Power Eng
am going to Powerstation in sept

If I understand correct at power station I will only be getting
210bhp
Help its worse than I thought , hope they can sort it!!!

Cheers Rich

 

NS1 FLOYD but the 240bhp 167 at wheels was done at PowerEngineering.

Name change

Up the boost, your being a bit consersative at 1 bar:

My UK97
Unichip
full decat + hi-flow filter
dawes set to 1.2 bar
gives 242bhp & 241 lb-ft torque @ powerstation

You should see a similar torque figure but higher power due to your larger turbo keeping the boost going at higher rpm (TD04 runs out of puff).

Rich

edited to correct crap spelling & to say any boost changes should be done where you monitor the air/fuel ratio and check for detting, discuss with powerstation your needs and they should be able to sort you out.

Lastly - you are using SUL aren't you?
