thinking of returning to the subaru fold and its been a while so can some1 direct me to the p1's full spec regarging engine and turbo thanks

 

Same as a version 5/6 STI, same map but with more knock correction added, so its a VF28 turbo, standard STI "forged" pistons for v5/6 cars, fast rack steering, but if you look at it basically its a v5 car (not a 6 as its based on a MY99 car) STI in a type R shell.

Tony

 

thanks tony with it being a 99 its able to accept the ecutek remap then? what the forged engine stable to power wise and the vf28? thanks

 

As said, pretty much a standard STI 5 map from new but will much benifit from a good Ecutek map.

Also will be better for the car to run on UK fuel like Shell V-Power etc.

I've had mine done by Bob Rawle and it's running sweet.

 

hi carlito had my last car mapped by bob was a gd day goin up and down the bypass lol

 

No fast rack, no dccd, very "ecutekable"

 

should see low 300's? with remap

 

Easily

 

Its not a forged engine, just the pistons and those are not the best forged items in the world (say as apposed to the new age STI pistons), the rest is, well similar to the standard turbo/wrx, same rods, crank etc.
VF28 should see you to 320-330bhp.

Tony

 

thanks tony still very undecided what to go for the p1 or a sti v8

 

as tony said a p1 mapped will see you between 320-330bhp you can get some bargains at the minute aswell

 

what bargains have you saw snake

 

plenty of p1,s selling for silly money infact i know of a genuine 1 at less than 5k,i know what your thinking i cant beleive it either

 

less than 5k? is it in mansfield?

 

st helens £4800 not sre if its advertised yet have a look on the p1woc

 

wouldnt say thats silly money for an 11 year old car ? , think the p1's are overpriced compared to what you can get for similar cash of a normally priced p1

will someone explain why you would spend more on a p1 than a type r ? and btw type r's are 2 door sti's are they not ?

not being biased towards them , they look great but just a blue type r to me , with less ? no dccd etc

 

ok thanks will look is it genuine p1 not type r

 

lol yes m8 its a p1 not a type rrrrrrrrrrr

 

thanks snake do u have a p1?

 

yes m8 i was looking at type r,s but then came across the p1s there was no contest for me

 

did you look at sti 8's at all as im touch and go which to go for

 

no m8 there not realy for me look to comfy and heavy i wanted a toy rather than a cruiser i tell you what though ive just been offered a 2.5 6speed p1 for 7.5k crazy ap brakes the lot he could break it for more

 

Best looking scoob bar the 22b imho:



TX.

 

+1 to that m8 if the 22b had the p1 bumper it would be perfect

 

Think gona go with the p1 and mapped it would I need to fit a walbro?

 

Id go with a bosch 044 over a walbro any day (but yes, upgrade the fuel pump)

Tony

 

The pump still in same place under back seats?

 

yep

 

good decision m8 p1 rules now you just need to find the rite car if you need any info or help pm me or ill see you on the p1woc

i have the rcm pump in mine i wouldnt use walbro

 

As much as i love classics.... Sti 8 has more potential i think. If you evere decide to go for bigger power than 330 bhp you'll spend almost twice as much on a classic than you would on new age to get them to the same reliable power level.
