I've got a standard 2002 WRX Bugeye Wagon - is the power output 215bhp or 220bhp?

Also, 0-60 - 5.9 seconds?

Cheers!

Don't make me jealous! Should have pointed out it's a UK car.

no it's not, 240ps is standard power for 93wrx.

For the OP here's a link to the official brochure

I have a 1996 wrx import and it has 265bhp thanks to a performance panel filter and rear silencer..

yours has a z4 ECU rated at 260ps (256bhp) as standard.
The earliest wrxs had 2c,u8,w6 rated at 240ps (236bhp) as standard.

Hi
With reference to the wrx uk standard power appears to be 218 bhp i was looking at the 0-60 time of 5.9 so does that mean my 1996 wrx import which is lighter than a bug eye by about 140 kg and with 265 bhp do mid to low 5's then??

Most probably but it will all depend how you launch the car.

221bhp standard

I belive the Bugeye version is 215bhp and the Blobeye 221 bhp.

Either it isn't as standard as you think (in which case you could be in trouble insurance wise since your car should not be making that much power - especially as performance will drop away over time and really, you'd be lucky to find a 15 year old car still capable of putting out factory power levels) or someone's rolling road is a little bit optimistic

(03 WRX decat, zorst, Andy F remap = 273 bhp and 1.3 bar boost @ 2700 rpm)

scoobie_girl

put the gloves away every one lol....insurance wise every thin on my car is declaired i aint that stupid...the power from my car is correct i had 3 power runs done that day....the car was completly standered when it was imported as i had it checked over to make sure...cant see how the rolling roads would be out at powerstation...im not gona quibble i no what my cars doin and im happy with it ...

I'm not having a go as you're just repeating what you've been told.
Did they look inside the ecu ,as i said 1 bar isn't standard.

But as you say you're happy with it and that's all that matters

Same here - not having a go at all! You said car was standard but it is running power and boost figures that say otherwise - could have been tricky for insurance if it is checked over, just showing concern! - although you also say everything on the car is declared so i guess those are cosmetic mods if the power is standard?

And yes, different rollers will give big variances in power, that's just how it is although if you are happy then there you go.

I drive the same car as the original poster, and the standard power is 215bhp, not sure about the 0-60 time. I had the PPP kit fitted to mine which takes power to 261bhp, and a 0-60 time of 4.8 seconds, if you're prepared to be mechanically un-sympathetic to the clutch.

Wrong

NACRO

My bet is that almost nobody on this thread has had anything like the 0-60 times they are quoting.
The fact is lack of skill and too much mechanical sympathu means that most Impreza drivers are going to be in the 7 second category regardless of what power they may think they have.

myblackwrx - thanks - it appears that mine (UK 2002 WRX Wagon) is 218ps (215bhp), 0-60 in 5.9.

NACRO - that is probably true of almost any car unless you have an auto or launch control!

GC8WRX

Agree with nacro, not many people i know launch their performance cars properly anyway, give it 4 or 4.5k revs and drop the clutch and see what happens! (not in the wet though, it will fishtail)

NACRO

That's why I wonder why people insist on quoting theoretical times they will never/have never achieved. Never mind the fact that many older and poorly modified cars are probably down on power or have wrecked drivetrains which means that the owners may as well just make some power and performance figures up for all they are worth.
Obviously there are a minority of people out there with cars in rude health and that have worthwhile mods- I'm betting they can't reproduce their cars best consistently either.

tbf in most circumstances they are just quoting the manufacturers top speed ,0-60 etc BUT the manfacturer doesn't say HOW they get those figures so Joe Public can only state what they've been told.
And as many a thread on here it's how it feels rather than pub talk figures
