Been to powerstation got 256bhp 228pft had up and down pipe decated.

Edcase

Yes, but that was also with uprated fuel pressure, top-mount intercooler and equal length headers

Also had about 285 lb / ft.

Buzzer

Zippy had 291 bhp on his MY01

That was with full de-cat, STi panel filter and EcuTek 3 custom map

Powerstation rollers are VERY conservative. STI's with PPP never really seem to get the power quoted and I have been to a fair old few RR's at powerstation to know that your 265 is probably very realistic when compared with others on the day and not across other rolling roads..

On other rollers you'll probably easily see your expected figures..!!

Edcase

We actually saw a peak of 299 BHP and 294 lb/ft but I asked Merv to put a safety margin in as I didn't want to cook the poor little TD04

Merv reckoned that was one of the highest torque figures he'd seen from the TD04.

I've had 286 bhp / 270 lbft on Clive Atthowe rollers. Full decat, TEK3, ITG panel filter.

Check the solid line.

Edcase

how are the strut braces??

elgordano

not fitted them yet

RB5SCOTT

Mine run very happy at 299bhp 292lb/ft on a tek3 (without headers)

I had 286bhp with the PPP over 2 years ago aswell

Soon see what 430+bhp will be like on a tek3

Just brought a MY01 WRX, it had been tested at Power Engineering which said 277 bhp and 265 torque, its got full de-cat including up pipe,ecutek 2
and viper filter

i8gtmf

My MY00 did 285bhp & 276 lbsft with a tek2 ,Blitz Nur spec r,decat downpipe and pipercross.

is this with the ecu tek?

if not that seems good to me, I had tek3, sports cat downpipe, EL headers and manged 260bhp and 270lbs on the powerstation rollers

Edcase

Midlife, there is no way that was on a standard turbo tho...

Sonic74f

Sorry for cutting across the thread and this might sound like a stupid question but I am putting my MY00 Turbo with full de-cat and panel filter on a rolling road on Saturday.
I have a Knocklnk fitted and dawes afr. Do you think I should fit a boost gauge before it gets a blast on the rollers or is there any need?
Thanks.

Edcase

I wish they would start including a boost gauge as standard. With the decat I would seriously reccommend having a boost gauge to make sure you aren't getting any potentially damaging boost spikes.

Well spoted, Ninnybobs has a front entry TD05...........like me

Midlife.....

Edcase

Good choice That was the next step for mine...

scooby66

Thanks guys for all that ,was looking for more than that don't no? got a boost gauge peaks at 17psi so is the norm 256/228 for up & down pipe k&n panel filter with H&s system with a eck tek 3, standard at powerstation it was 213/ 197.An out of box sti8 got 260bhp (non ppp ) so the figures seem fair don't they, so was 285bhp from a tek 3 on a bugeye wrx expection seems a tad optimistic or was the map flawed .But after all this it drives miles better and getting 13.8 at Stanta Pod. So was this money well spent? I mean with a full decat I would of got 30 bhp on the standard fig. Your thought's guys???

ZIPPY

Mate as said my MY01 got 291 BHP and 2 other fully decatted MY01's got 285 BHP and 277 BHP respectivley.

The lower of the cars had a mis-match of exhaust components (TSL,Janspeed,Prodrive) whereas the higher 2 had the full H&S systems.We put his lower BHP figure down to this but on the plus side he did get better torque figures than the other 2 MY01 cars.

The Ecutek custom map transforms the car and with a de-cat will destroy any PPP'd WRX.

Zippy

scooby66

So what are we saying thak it back say my cars under power for the numbers quoted ??? should be getting 285 0nly getting 256 ???

Buzzer

I always thought that a tek 3 should be a custom map to your car, not a pre-loaded programme shoved onto any car

scooby66

So gent's the bottom line is should i be getting better figs than 256/228 with up &down pipe k&N filter ect. On the rollers with tek 3????

powersation read low as stated mine had 260 bhp

but I did have 270lbs torque, but remove 20ishlbs as I have Equal length headers
so compared to mine you could say you are down 20lbs torque but this is still all crap as different days give different figures

forget what the rollers says - how does the car drive? Mine felt much lighter (weird thing speed you get used to it too quickly )

Since mine was on the road it has been re mapped by another mapper as it was detting so I could be down on power to before but the car feels so much different, on the first map the car through you in the seat from 3k to 5k but was Sh*T everywhere else my secs monitor said I had never gone over 6k which must say something

On the second map the car no longer through you back and I can't really feel the turbo spool up but the power is all through the rev range and is much more lively past 80 mph as the car keeps pulling

so what Im trying to say is the same car with the same mods just different mappers one feels quicker on the road but I feel it would get less on the rollers

I feel that 250lbs through out the rev range is better than 300lbs past 5k but nothing before this, some may disagree

if you are still worried pop down to one of the rolling road days with a few other subarus and compare what you are getting to what they are seeing with similar mods, but yet again I wouldn’t take to much notice as I hear that wheel alignment heat soak etc will effect you individually

MY01 WRX got 326 bhp / 321 lbft last time it was on a RR

scooby66,
you need to compare your results with a similiar car on the same rollers on the same day. that's the only real way of telling if your map is any good.
