Stock 2006 STi - Project Power
Dear all,
Attached/below is my first dyno run at Hidden Performance Sandwich, East Kent.
Respectable figures for a 12-year-old Scoob, I think?
Car about to get the major service of the century: every fluid and filter, sparks, compression test etc. Then dyno run two. Can't wait. Will update ASAP.
Cheers guys.

Yes - interesting set-up, with good gains. I might...just do it. Car has to be daily drive and family wagon though - so I need to get used to the Scooby madness before I commit.
Cheers!

I thought a Stage 1 map up to the original JDM 320bhp was ok with these 2.5 STi's? Too risky?
Cheers.

basically engine rebuild. at 320 you should be fine. 2.5 is known to break pistons and headgaskets

2.5 will have issues beyond what? 320? 350? I need reliability but I'm not going to push too far....just yet.

Not just hatchbacks. Not all go but most will.

If I leave her bone stock, and give her lots of lovely oil and lubes, I think we'll be ok.

Ha, ha. This is like running my BMW 520D with the N47 engine. It had a spaghetti timing chain - which was an engine-out repair. Oh, the miles of stress driving that caused.

Huge shout out to Hidden Performance of Sandwich. Superb outfit. Mike the manager has been extremely kind: even taxiing me home in an M3 in the rain.
As I say, great little company: Mike sent me pics and videos of the work as it was happening, plus technical notes and mechanics' notes after each repair or service item.
Second dyno run today after diff oil change. Much hotter so only managed 265hp at the fly.
...so I'll take yesterday's 279hp thank you very much!
Next phase: well...more power...

Are they mapping it, or just dyno before and after servicing?
Timing belt changed? Hope they know what they are doing if it has been.

Not mapping: just dyno before and after service. I want to get the most out of the car stock, before moving ahead.
Cam belt done 2016. I can't upload the mp4 (file huge), but you can see the dyno in the photo below. Looks nice and new!

Meant to ask, I might want a new rear wing down the line. Same as the high-line STi thing in my image above. Any recommendations? Like - not eBay?
