Correct boost for MY97 Sti?
Sure it's been asked before but couldn't find using search - anyone know what standard boost for an MY97 STi should be. Reason I ask is that my car only made 260bhp on the PE Rolling Road - it was running 1 bar and fuelling OK. I always thought 1 bar was the norm for this model of STi.
Should I fit and boost controller - and if so what boost should be safe? Any ideas would be :( helpful - I was a bit negged with the power - it made 280bhp on same rollers 6 months ago but boost was spiking - they have fixed this but I am down on power! |
I thought about 1.3bar was standard on an STi

1.3 bar peak?

Thanks guys - if it should be 1,3bar then it probably explains why I a down on power. I have a full de-cat which lead to spiking/fuel cut - PE have sorted that out - but only running sready 1bar. It goes back in next week and the fix could be a boost controller. If I can run at 1.3bar this should surely see me get back to around 280bhp?

Yes, it would pay to ignore me, it seems my standard STi engine is boosting too high and should be about 1.1 bar (16 psi).
