Just had 2nd test drive today in MY06 Sti.

After testing had discussion with dealer and I asked if there was any news on PPP and was told they had received notification today that PPP for MY06 Sti will be 310bhp and £1700 inc VAT with availability in 3/4 weeks.

Shame that it is only 5bhp more than previous but at least it is cheaper.

Anyone else been told similar?

Neil, did they have info on wrx ppp ???

Neil W

Not sure about WRX as I was negotiating on Sti. On my way home I thought I should have asked about WRX.

They are calling me tomorrow so i will ask then.

Cheers.

My dealer actually received the letter yesterday aparently. I hope it is available as im about to order a new sti and will add the PPP into the deal.

Confirmed with my dealer 316bhp and 330 torque for £1700 fitted available at the end of the month

Neil W

Yep, just ordered it.

Edward

Does anyone know what parts will be changed (MY06 Sti)?

Daniel-S

Eventually

p1doc

so basically a tweaked wr1 map for 2.5l,i remember an article in jap perf recently of graham goode getting 370bhp out of remaped uk 2.5l!

Here's all the info on the new 2006 MY Subaru Impreza Prodrive Performance Packs!!

Impreza 2.5 WRX

Available - End of March 2006.
Power - 270ps (266bhp) @ 5700rpm
Torque - 420Nm (310lbft) @ 3000rpm
RRP - £1700 (Inc VAT & Fitting)


Impreza 2.5 WRX STI

Available - End of March 2006.
Power - 320ps (316bhp) @ 6000rpm
Torque - 450Nm (332lbft) @ 3700rpm
RRP - £1700 (Inc VAT & Fitting)

NICE!!!!

Neilo

310lbft for the WRX? whats your source?

Neilo

im sure Mike Wood will be along soon enough to confirm whether this is fact or bowlocks.

Danny B

That's pretty poor really though isn't it? You get about 305bhp on a base level Evo (FQ300) and 316bhp is all Subaru can offer from a 2.5 STi with a PPP

Neilo

yeah but torque will make a fast road car, not overall bhp....the torque level could still be better mind you....

I work for a Subaru Dealership in the Midlands, that is a direct quote from Subaru UK

Should be a nice drive, area under the graph lads. Not headline figures remember.

Edward

MJSRacer, do you know what parts are changed on the MY06 Sti PPP pack?

MJSRacer

As before, the PPP is made up of a re-mapped engine ecu done by prodrive and a new exhaust system, all covered under Subaru Warranty and recognised by your insurance company (Well if they know what they are talking about!!)

Edward

MJSRacer - thanks, is it a completely new turbo back exhaust?

MJSRacer

Yes mate, as far as i know it is from the Turbo, back, it will also give a slightly louder noise from the exhaust too as with the previous PPP's

MJSRacer

I've just been told about these PPP's too for the Forester,

Forester 2.5 XT M/T

Available - End of March 2006.
Power - 260ps (256bhp) @ 5600rpm
Torque - 407Nm (300lbft) @ 3000rpm
RRP - £1700 (Inc VAT & Fitting)


Forester 2.5 XT A/T

Available - End of April 2006.
Power - 260ps (256bhp) @ 5600rpm*
Torque - 407Nm (300lbft) @ 3000rpm*
RRP - £1700 (Inc VAT & Fitting)

* Performance figures for Forester 2.5XT A/T have still to be confirmed and are issued as a guide only.

Now bearing in mind that the Forester 2.5XT M/T does 0-62mph in 6 seconds as standard, these are gonna make them a bloody quick estate car!!

p1doc

that is a lot of torque for wrx gearbox! but only slightly better torque for sti,you think they would have tried a bit harder to compete with mitsubishi....unless a limited edition ppp model is coming out before new model arrives?
martin

bigknd

I think you will find that the downpipe from the turbo will not be changed, hence the price reduction from £1999 to £1700

evonorth

That does not seem alot, They are letting the evo get away again, you can buy an evo 9 change the exhaust, induction, and a remap they are coming out at just above 400 bhp, so easy to tune with every model,

Gutmann pug

Same BHP as the WR1 ....... is it really worth it

bigknd

Not all about bhp though torque is up to 330ish and IIRC the Wr1 was 309.8 lb.ft at 4,000 rpm so much more useable on road power I would imagine

Your right and PPP is all about drivability and Warranty

Prodrive have been testing thier PPP's around at different Rolling Roads. Gauging BHP and Torque Fiqures and maybe refrained from quoting figures from Bench testing an Engines at MK. Now owners will be able to achieve simular results if the test their Cars. IMHO
