Iv just bought a bug eye wrx import with a magnex system and dump valve. Just wondering what bhp you would expect me to have as iv got no idea what the imports have?

 

bout 255, theyre 250 standard anyway, maybe 260...

 

cheers mate i had no idea it was an import so im happy its got the extra bhp

 

Depends on what type of import. What Neil said if it's a Japanese import (JDM model, i.e. first registered in Japan). If it's a euro-import (i.e. first registered in Europe or the UK), they only had the same power as the UK car - i.e. 215bhp as standard.

How much you gained from the exhaust depends on whether it's a backbox (in which case an extra 5bhp tops), or a full turbo-back system (in which case maybe 20bhp over standard, and potential for more with a suitable re-map). The dump valve will not have gained you any power IMHO.

 

I have a MY01 WRX Bugeye, UK model 221bhp standard, put a panal filter on it and a Farel T04 Straight though exhaust inc up pipe, took all 3 cats out. Got 255bhp on rolling road, but seriously over boosting which was all over the place on the graph. Then got a TEK2 which finished with 277bhp with 273Ibs torque.

Worth every penny spent, and what a difference

 

Put it on a rolling road and find out instead of all this guestimation work,that way you will know for sure,you will probably find its something like 240 real bhp

 

might even be 230

 

UK model MY01/02 WRX was 218PS/215bhp standard.

Agree it's well worth tuning them, my 02WRX was at 284bhp/272lbft on a sports cat system, up-pipe change, TEK and a few other minor mods. The bigger difference IMHO is that the power comes in a lot earlier and goes on a lot longer.

 

cheers everyone! it is a jap import so i think il have to get it rr'd and see what to do from there
