Confirming Prodrive Pack is Fitted
Hi Everyone,
1st post on here so go easy, i've never really been in to Subaru's having spent the last 4 years with various kit cars and lately a clio for track use. I've recently purchased a 54 plate (2005 spec, could they all be?) with a certificate for the Prodrive pack. The certificate checks out ok with the chassis number, and i was aware that the exhaust has been changed. How can i confirm that the ecu is still the right one? Just had a quick a look and was expecting to see something like a prodrive emblem or something, but all that's there is some black marker pen saying sti 05 and then a code. In fact while we are on the subject ;) the exhaust system :wonder: Am i right in thinking the centre section should just be a straight through pipe? i'm sure when i was under the car i saw a small rectangular box (possible a cat) now i can understand someone changing the rear silencer, buy i can't get my head round why someone would put a cat back in :confused: Any pointers you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks Chris |
They(i believe)don't replace the ecu on that year they just remap the factory one.The center pipe is a straight through pipe,the only thing i think that rectangular box is a resonator box(based on my car)

With the exhaust, the downpipe will have a heat wrap on it, the centre cat is a straight through pipe but has a heat shield on it and there is a resonator in the pipe before the backbox (looks like a cat)
Not sure what they do with the ECU though!! HTH :thumb: |

Congratulations, you are the first one to ask this question in 2010.

i have a prodrive sti it has the sports cat downpipe, second de-cat delete (when fitted they refit the original heat shield to the second de-cat) prodrive back box and most importantly the ecu with the foil prodrive sticker i cant see why it wouldn't have this sticker unless it wasn't genuine.

they only flash the original ECU.
Aaron:thumb: im aware of that, and i didnt get my point across, it should have read "ecu with the foil prodrive sticker" but why has mine got the foil sticker and the majority of the ecus i see for sale don't have any more than black marker pen on them? |

Thanks to everyone else, that clears that up. I've since re fitted the prodrive silencer, but i'll hold on to the other one for when i want ot be more anti social ;) Chris |
Anti social?? Nah, just to be heard a bit sooner than others :lol1:

Sounds to me like you have the PPP, i have had a couple of PPP ECU's and they have 05STI then IP 4567 or something, the stickers i presume are given to the garage and some put them on the ECU others put them on the doors or in the engine bay etc. You should also have a Prodrive Intercooler pipe under the bonnet.
|
not on an sti you don't
|
You get a Intercooler pipe dont you? its Red on the Sti and Blue on the WRX from what i remember...
|
Wrx you get the pipe, Sti doesn't need one^^^^^

100cell sports cat Downpipe 2nd Cat replaced by straight through pipe New Fuel Pump New Back box Remapped ECU WRX PPP intercooler pipe 2nd Cat replaced by straight through pipe New Back box Remapped ECU IIRC Tony |
Mine also has a PPP warning for something or other sticker on the inside of the B pillar as well as what has been mentioned above.

If i wasn't aware of your sarcasm in that reply, i'd be asking for a prize now for being 1st :D (or 2nd)

By this logic you may as well close half the sub-forums, it had already been answered but as we can see on lots of other threads you like to be sarcastic and funny so had the urge to post a response that predictably gets posted as much as the question. The search function is not as easy to use as it once was and sometimes brings up lots of info to search through, so by posting a question your more likely to get an answer from the helpful members of snet:D

I've got no idea what point your tying to make but those links( the ones that work) are for WRX's not an Sti so you haven't even searched and found the right info;)

Well that its not that easy to search for information (as you've proved) and that you have no idea what your trying to make a point about. My point about you is that you try to be funny and sarcastic but your not very good at either.

That funny, i just typed PPP into search and a rake of information has just appeared on the screen. I'd check my computer if i were you you may have a fault.
Incidentaly, do you have PPP? As for if i have PPP why don't you use the scoobynet functions you feel so passionate about:D |

AZZ FTW ! heh
