P1
After owning my P1 for only afew months , noticed a struggle of starting and a lose in power . After having a Leak down test done came back the news i was dreading Cylinder 2 was only at 35psi , So after alot of researching i settled on dropping it off enginetuner 260 miles away for a fully forged 2.1 stroker build :norty: also thought why not throw in a toucan
Cant wait to get it back :thumb: |
Sorry to hear pal, how many miles was on the clock
|

Bad news about the car. I'm sure the EngineTuner 2.1 build will be of some comfort :) |

Seriously, it's the controller/sensor monitor for the Alcatek ECU. (It's analogous to the Commander for the A'PEXi ECU). |

Not nice when you buy a new car. But personally I wouldn't buy a P1 unless it had an engine rebuild done, they seem to fail a lot. Can't see it being the engine itself at fault.
I was wondering if it's because they most likely only get used as a weekend car. So get thrashed alot, including track days etc. |

Sure there many a thread about this. I might be wrong but was it not the factory map that causes the issues?

AFAIK the P1 came with stock STI Type R ecu so mapped for Jap fuel. Prodrive added some fuel broquets into the tank to combat the difference in Ron. The broquets break down over time, hence the issues.
|
Exactly the same as any JDM sti import - nothing worse (or better!). Get it remapped by engine tuner for U.K. fuel or run octane booster until then.
