just generally interested in your cars

what power are you lot running and how did you get that power output?
any problems arise in the tuning stages?

 

any body???

 

Between 208 and 276bhp as standard, as a general rule scoobies are not the greatest cars to tune beyond 300bhp. Beyond ECU change and breathing mods things get expensive.

 

just wondered.

like to broaden my knowledge thats all

thanks for the reply
anybody else?

 

oh yeah,

sorry...i do know the basic output of the car in a couple of forms like UK turbo,RB5, STI.


thanks

 

Hi Daz! you may want to check out
http://www.sidc.co.uk/faq.htm

 

quite informative but very little in the info i was really after, thank anyway

was wondering what you do with the intercooler/turbo/boost/actuator/compression/engine(strenghtening etc)/ecu etc etc on you scoobies.

please anybody?

 

depends on your budget

breathing mods - exhaust and filter not too expensive

FMIC are available to replace the TMIC or a bigger TMIC

Replacement/mappable ECU, plenty on the market, LINK, MOTEC, UNICHIP. Best getting soemone who knows about these though.

A few engine builders about who will rebuild and strengthen engines as well. I have heard that a few scoob are running cossie pistons as well .

cheers

not to bothered about the budget limit.... just a good idea of what it entails and then the sting in the pocket

thanks for the replies

 

any body?

 

?????????????????????????????????????????????

 

dazc2:
My STI4 has now done 64K reliable miles with a setup of 348BHP.
I'm happy, not sure why the earlier poster said >300BHP was a problem, unless he was just refering to UK cars, as most Japan imports are putting out 280BHP stock and easily 300BHP with a filter/exhaust change.
320BHP is achievable for sensible money as well.

 

thanks sheep

any body else

 

????????????????

i am determined........

 

?

 

Have you looked at the dyno site: dyno.scoobynet.co.uk ? This lists power outputs for various common and not so common mods.

Totally standard my00 - rolling roaded at 226bhp, getting decat twin dump downpipe fitted soon. watch this space.

 

dyno site...sorry only use muppet forum so i dont know my way around the whole site

thanks for the replies...at least some people dont ignore me

 

any body else?...dyno site interesting...

 

OK, here are the specs for my car...

MY95 Impreza Wagon
- Unichip
- Ferrita 2,5" (race-cat) exhaust
- STi v. IV pistons
- Turbosmart Dual Stage Boost Controller
- MRT Group A rampod
- MRT Boost Cut Defender
- Samco Turbo hoses (not installed yet, tho)

When running on 14.5 PSI this resulted in 258HP/314Nm, currently running on 16PSI (low setting) 20PSI (high setting) though, I'll try to get a dynorun within next month...
