Figures From My Remap At Andy F's Today
Hi all, thought i'd share these with you all. Went up to see Andy F today, travelled from County Durham which is around 130ish miles. Got there at 10.00 am on the dot. Let the car cool down foor around 5 mins then Andy plugged her up (looked like a casualty victim with all the wires hanging off). Anyway, Andy uploaded the ECUTEK remap into the car and off we went down some nice straight & twisty roads where Andy lives, give the car some hammer in all sorts of gears and rev ranges.
Official figures from Andy are:-
(Still waiting for my graphs and readings from Andy as his printer was down)
328 bhp @ 6092 rpm
306 lbs ft torque
I think the turbo is running at 19psi (1.3 bar at full boost)
As you can imagine the ride home was a whole lot of fun
Big, big thankyou to Andy Forrest
. Like driving a different car.

He did the same to my 93wrx with an Apexi Power FC about 6 weeks ago. Totally different car to drive now (in a good way), what a difference! Hard to believe its the same engine, can't wait to get it on the rollers. Fair do's, he's the man!!

will be just shy of £3K approx. been told the standard WRX gearbox on that year is good for a limit of around 350bhp-360bhp so 330bhp should be fine.
As long as I dont start trying 6K starts on a drag strip that is I assume.
then it would probably go bang.......

Phil,
Cheers mate thats a wee bit cheaper than I
had thought. Expected to pay £650ish.
While I'm on, does Andy 'smooth' out the performance
of the car or is there an actual increase in bhp / torque
once the mapping has been done? Always wondered
this

turbo starts kicking in about 3k and pulls very hard from 3.5k right to red line (makes a cool noise as well
)I'm having my ported headers mapped in next week together with walbro and STi pink injectors so hoping it will be smooth as..... and the the turbo will kick in a little harder lower down

I think Phil means spool up compared to a TD04 on the std map. The std UK map is quite tame how it pulls in the boost on the OE turbo, a remapped VF24 will pull full boost possibly lower in the rpm range than an OE td04 set up. A properly remapped TD04 would of course pull boost earlier than a VF24 as it is a much smaller turbo but wouldn't hold the boost pressure as the rpm increased.

If you read this, thanks again for the great work you did on my green 01 WRX bug in July, which resulted in 273bhp with only centre decat.
So what would be the next turbo to go for ? I'd want as little lag as possible, fairly early spool up and maybe 330bhp. :Your own hybrid TD04, VF35 or VF24 or , well, something else ? And would the std gearbox cope ?
Cheers again,
Andy Mc

BUT be nice to it! No launches and change gear nicely and it will last forever.
Launches and harsh gear changes will b0rk your gearbox.
