I asked Mike wood that same question today too.

His response was(my paraphrase)...

Maybe

It depends, if you drive the car as you do now, then MPG will probably increase because less revs are being used per gear, of course if you redline it every gear then it'll go down.

Also like when the Std WRX PPP was first out the main bottleneck for installation will be waiting for dealers to send the standard ECU's back. So don't moan at PD/IM ask your dealer nicely to make sure they send their ECU's back ASAP.

I think your refering to the other PPP

Prodrive Perving pack

Back on topic.

Does the PPP make the car a lot louder, or is it only a little bit louder?

DOWN PIPE??

Does this mean that there is a less restricted (I see it still has a cat) downpipe available for the Scoob engine that doesn't affect the warranty?

CAN / WILL THIS BE INCORPORATED INTO A STANDARD WRX PPP??

I think we should be told!!

(Though a standard WRX pushing out 260bhp would presumably confuse the non-PPP STI market a bit...)

Edit - Oh bum, DBT just asked elsewhere...

So, how many clutches were needed to get these repeatable times ?

I can just see the disclaimer at the bottom of the page

'No clutches or gearboxes were harmed in the production of this modification'

If the STI PPP has a piggyback board on the ECU, like(I think) the WRX one has then a new board/map WILL be required for the 03 PPP. The new 03 map has a different torque and power bands so it follows that any daughter board will need to be changed to take that into account.

Of course if the daughter board just over rides the existing ECU, and only uses pins of the ECU then it should be ok.

Only Prodrive will be able to tell for sure.

As many of you already know the Performance Package for the WRX STi is now available and the first parts are being delivered to dealers at the moment.

We have produced an information sheet which can be viewed at

STi PPP

P.S. Any news on when the springs will be available?

Ta,

Matt

 

Can you tell me what MPG I should expect with the PPP fitted ?

 

Nice
1.5 secs off the 0-100 time and over 2 seconds off some of the higher gear driving

Tony

 

Wahey

Just need to juggle my credit cards around and find a bit of space on one of them to squeeze the PPP onto

As the mutant says, got a date for the springs ? mine are on order and hopefully being fitted on my 10k service next week.

 

Mike, pls can you supply full information on female Prodrive mechanic as featured in Evo

 

Moi?!!?!?

 

Thanks for posting the information here Mike. I've got a lot of respect for a manufacturer who actually talks to the owners!

Pretty decent 0-60 and in gear times. I'm impressed

 

4.62 seconds to 60, can you imagine how quick it would be if it was not so heavy...!!! i mean this engine and package in a classic shape scoob.... now there is an idea..... now what is the number for grade a subaru..

Dan

 

I suspect the 4.6 Seconds can be got down a lot lower. These figures are repeatable which means the tester has been kind to the car. E.g Subaru's figures for the standard car were 6.4 seconds. It was fairly easy to knock this down to 5.6-5.4.

Autocar got the 0-60 down from 5.2 to 4.9 seconds on their roadtest of the STI. It follows that the 0-60 could go down as far as 4.4.

In any case look at how much faster it is from 60-80 in 6th. A whole 3 seconds

 

...or just work on making the car lighter

Matt

 

It's an interesting thought. How much would you pay for a kit that reduced the weight by 100kg?

 

Interesting to note that the STI PPP fact sheet is dated May 99 !!!!

Where's it been all this time ?

 

damn.... has anyone noticed the date embedded in the Acrobat file..(page 2)


May 1999 !!!!!

Thats a seriously long signoff period :} :>

Ids

 

There's just NO pleasing some folks, is there!!!!!

 

Barnaby, you can pay for me to come and remove your soundproofing and rear seats if you want...

MikeW - well done for the info.

4.62 secs - OMG ... STI Wagon PLEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASE!

 

 

just a thought, wonder if the sti ppp will work on a wrx??

steve

 

How much will it cost?

 

£1995

No it won't work on a standard WRX. You need the WRX one for that. That costs £1600 and brings the WRX to 240Bhp and 250 odd lb/ft torque.

 

Bleargh, dealer seems to think I won't see one this year, **** it to be honest, this is just one more annoyance to add to problems I've had with the car :angry:

 

**** that is impressive, well done Prodrive, now Ian can I drive it on Friday

Greg

 

Having problems downloading the fact sheet can someone tell me if they quote a BHP and 0-100 time
