HI

I WAS JUST WONDERING WHAT POWER CAN I GET FROM MY UK TURBO WITH A REMAP ITS A 1999 FULL DECAT INCLUDING DOWNPIPE ( this is a 3" bellmouth down to 2.5") AND HOW QUICK WOULD IT BE, ANYWHERE NEAR A P1 OR NOT. AND WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST ECU.

THANKS ANY INFO PLEASE

 

You can have it remapped using Ecutek software. We would normally expect to see somewhere near 250 bhp comfortably, which adds around 40 bhp from the standard figure of approx 210. Obviously the figures vary due to a long list of reasons, I'm just giving you a ballpark figure. It's certainly enough to be worth the cost! A P1 theoretically has 280 bhp.

 

HI AGAIN

THE REASON I ASK IS SOMEONE TOLD ME YOU CAN GET 280BHP OUT OF THE STANDARD TURBO IS THIS CORRECT OR ARE THEY DREAMING.

THANKS

 

If you look in andyforrests site, it shows you a rough idea, of the mods you need etc to see 280

 

275~280bhp with similar torque

...on friendly rollers

 

don't do friendly rollers..

I tend to use Surrey Rolling Road who are independent and therefore have no reason to fiddle figures, or the road.

I road mapped a td04 equipped wrx newage yesterday and as we were close to said rollers did a power run.. 280bhp

Simon

 

 

Simon, didn't you map someone's TD04L-equipped Wagon some time ago and it made 290bhp (or was it even 300/310?!), with just a decat downpipe as the sole supporting mod?!

I seem to remember you mentioning that...

 

each car varies. some are good and some less good.. but usually 280bhp give or take a little bit

 

Sure. I'm not saying that's the norm - it was just an aside comment really (because it was a very good result).

 

Listen to JGM and use a respected mapper and, as said, you could see around 280bhp. Remember though that figures aren't everything, the most important thing is that you car will be totally transformed. I had my UK MY99 mapped by Bob Rawle, using Ecutek and its so much better than previous and worth every penny.

 

I got 305/300 out of my TD04 with supporting mods....binned it for an 18g soon after though for some more grunt lol

Every car varies though, but 280bhp is possible out of a TD04 without too much grief IMO

 

THANKS FOR THE INFO EVERYONE I GAVE ZEN PERFORMANCE A CALL TODAY THEY ARE THE NEAREST TO ME, £550 + VAT. THESE HAVE A GOOD REPUTATION DONT THEY ? CANT WAIT THANKS AGAIN!

 

Sorry for bringing it up but didn't want to make another thread for the same topic, My 03 WRX Blob is booked in for an ecutek in 2 weeks and wondered if I will see near 280bhp with a Blitz back box, Blitz panel filter and Prodrive sports cat/fuel pump?

It's currently 187.3 at the wheels.

 

Yes, with those mapped mods, you should get to c.280bhp at the flywheel - or c.230 at the hubs.

FTR, your current 187.3 at the hubs equates to about 230bhp at the fly, which is a nice c.10bhp up the quoted 225PS (221bhp) for a Blobeye WRX.

 

Cheers! So much for Prodrives 265bhp claim! AET said the 187.3whp was about 240-250bhp but that seems a touch high after reading about RR transmission losses. Feels quicker than the 261bhp evo IV I had though.

 

I'm sure a tranny loss of about 22% is what you'd expect, hence the 230, and not 240-250.


Hmmmn, the Evo VI would be a similar weight to a Blobeye WRX I think. Evo VI GSR is 1360kg and the WRX is 1375kg IIRC...

 

I have a brake locking on a tad on the WRX does that effect a power run?

p.s. was also locking on on the Evo IV and could never be fixed, must be the way I brake.

 

simon remapped mine to 275/280

its a my99 uk turbo

sports 100 cell down pipe
mid decat
sport rear box
uprated fuel pump
K&N induction and cone

was originally 230bhp with above mods mods before remap

hope this helps

oh, thanks again simon GREAT job

 

No problem Mark, glad you are happy with it

 

sorry to hijack thread!! I just had a look at my ecu on my 99 sti v6, and have a mines ecu . Could someone tell me what my best option of ecu is and probable figures from a mapped sti Cheers in advance

 

mines is a japanese tuning company and the timing is usually very aggressive on there maps

I would be very careful and get it checked for det.

mapped up anything from 320 to 340 depending on mods etc

Simon

 

Simon, it's about time you had an appropriate avatar showing under your handle isn't it? i.e. your Jolly Green Monster... lol

 

probably hows that?

I am sure when we met I would have remembered if you had a chest as in your picture

[graphic designer mode]You need to crop it down - after all it needs all the help it can get, what with it being a max of only 80 x 80pix![/graphic designer mode]


Well, unfortunately for me, it's not far off!

In any case check out my new, improved, jubblies!...
