Oh rite ok 0-60 std?? etc it feels more then that i guess with the filter etc and exhaust maybe abit more!!

Plus its running 1.45bar boost i believe from the ecu monitor

Standard Bugeye STI around 261BHP. As far as the check engine light best to get it checked at a specialist to read the fault code. Nice car and welcome.

MarkSTI07

Ok mate cheers its kind of on faintly tho not properly on perhaps it has something to do with the ecu monitor??

WRX sideskirts and non genuine rear wing.I'm by no means an expert on bugeyes,but you 100% sure its a genuine car?

MarkSTI07

What do you mean when you say genuine?? it has the redtop sti engine with i/c water spray etc...

Elmer Fudpucker

I'm just saying that it has wrx sideskirts and an aftermarket rear-wing.

probably nothing,I've fitted wrx skirts to an STi before...but why the rear wing?

just something that would make me a little bit suspect thats all.

1.45bar is way....beyond the standard boost target.
It needs checking, especially if the warning light it on.

Whats the Knock Correction on the monitor and does it also give you an IAM value ??

MarkSTI07

Well when im driving round slowly its like -0.45 etc but thats the max figure i think or something i dont really know what it is im new to the car etc...

As i said the light is on but VERY faintly like a short?? anyone no this?

Also is power delivery on them very smooth or is it kind of abit jerky low down then takes off??

wrx bill

the standard sti bug came with the same side skirts and rear spoiler as a WRX it was only the Pro Drive style that had a larger rear wing and different side skirts they also had differnet front bumpers to

MarkSTI07

Oh rite bill well mine is the Type UK

Elmer Fudpucker

oops!I'd best shut up then..did say I wasn't an expert on bugs tho

I think it's an aftermarket rear wing, looks ok though.

I've got a prodrive ands thats deffinatly not a Prodrive.
You can tell by the bumper and lights etc
Will be 260bhp give or take.

what exhaust is it as i'd like a new one?!

If it's got an exhaust and a ECU Monitor(ECUTek?), then surely it's been mapped and will be running beyond 261bhp. 1.45 bar indicates a possible turbo upgrade too?

Did an HPI check and it's definately a STi.

Also the ecu light on may indicate a de-cat.

MarkSTI07

Its deffo an sti as the red intake engine gives that away!! Yeh it has a ecu monitor so i would have thought mapped as it holds 1.3 bar all day long peaks 1.4/1.5!!

It has a IHI turbo. Its a trust exhaust.

Can you see the code on the IHI turbo?

MarkSTI07

No not really havent had a proper look just noticed it said IHI TUrbo in funky writing lol

I think maybe its mapped to run 1.4/1.5 bar boost.
