re-map question?
hi iam buying a 2003 wrx sti with ppp, it has a de-cat and pannel filter and been remaped by powerstation it has a print out of 322bhp? iam sure it should have more bhp then that as with the ppp it should be 305 then de-cat and remap should get an extra 35bhp ish. so should be around 340bhp am i right? what do you think guys? also if i get a better air filter ie k&n or aplex, would i need it maped again as cost a bom to have that done?

They all end up done by different people on different days....
Mine made 340 bhp with an FMIC, but I expect it also puts out loads of torque, so I'm not too bothered with the "bar-room" numbers.
You can say it gives 35 bhp 'cos mine went from 265 to 340 ! No PPP.
If it feels good, forget it, if it feels rough, add some cash and go chase the big boys.... I doubt it will drive any nicer tho'.

rough ball park is 320-340 so the 322, lahtough on the lower side of the average, is about right
possible other thing is has it been fully decated? if not thats your answer

First post stated it was decatted, it is probably down to the fuel used and conditions on the day. PPP cars rarely make the quoted figures btw
cheers

hi it has just a pannel filter and middle de-cat thats it if i was to get the downpipe de-cat and better air filter would that gain more power? also would i need to get it re-mapped again? is powerstation good for there remaps?

As Bob said, the PPP's often don't make the bhp. We've seen 280 bhp and less on our dyno. The tendency is to crack up the boost early for more torque and leave it with pretty much standard boost over 4000 rpm. They do feel better than stock, but a custom remap gains so much more. Our friends at Powerstation have the measure of the car already, so I'd say pay them a visit, and do what they suggest!

Sadly, no. NM's is smaller than lbs ft's.
I forget the formula as I only think in English, but I bet someone on here will soon enlighten you!

On the road the real torque will be a bit higher, the rollers don't mimic road load impedance. The PPP maps do run more than std boost Alan, across the rev range, but they are mapped to pull back if they see any temperature at all, thats what would have happened in this case.
So bottom line the figs you have are in the ball park and a typical increase for a rolling road mapped car. Low torque is due to that.

Prodrive mapped to run all weathers/temperatures to avoid potential overboost etc. Not that custom maps don't do this but I imagine the margin of error is higher based on Prodrive's brief to provide a warranted package.
For the certificate, you can contact prodrive direct (Mike Wood) with your cars details and they should have a record of certificates issued. Your car may also have a silver sticker on the door sill (not always fitted). Blue Intercooler hose, a hollow heat sheild which once housed a cat and now just a straight through pipe. Back box obviously and thats all you will probably be able to see. All these parts are easily obtained so without the certificate don't assume you have it. TBH if its already been mapped then its no longer a PPP anyway. I doubt PS have saved your prodrive map for putting back to standard so the PPP bit is pretty redundant. The only reason for hunting the certificate is resale value.

I think it's fair to say we all understand the principle of thresholds.
What always bothers me is the idea that some action can take place within the OE ECU without these thresholds being reached, and the fact of this being known to only the chosen one.

On a similar note, my car seemed very restricted when cold (standard), but since the re-map I seem to have to exercise great restraint while the engine is cold or it is off like a missile !
Is this a result of said pressure/temperature threshold adjustments ?
TIA

Your mapper can decide whether or not to apply temperature compensations to the boost/wastegate ie he can limit boost to say 0.7 bar until coolant temp of 70+ is achieved.
Your issue sounds more like you have high initial wastegate duty at low throttle openings, this can improve response on some cars.
