Calling all mappers / mappees
Hi,
I have a 2.5 Wrx Hawkeye with a Cosworth Panel Filter. I'm looking into getting the car mapped. A few questions if anybody here has experience of JUST a map on a 2.5 Wrx - or knows a thing or two about mapping !
1. What bhp gains do I stand to achieve? 221bhp as standard right?
2. Economy rise?
3. How easy to put back to standard?
4. Torque rise?
5. How much?
6. Reputable people?
Cheers,

Duncan (Racedynamics) did my Hawkeye. Brilliant job. But I had changed a few more bits before hand. You wont regret it. Actually rolling roaded mine as standard with only a back box before it was mapped and it made 253bhp.
Making considerably more now!

Dont need uprated filter. Only put uprated Walbro 255 fuel pump kit on mine for 340bhp.
I would say if you can afford a new downpipe then get that. I have the cobra 200 cel sports cat on mine, is MOT friendly and replaces your 2 restrictive cats with 1 single cat that helps the turbo spool up.
Shouldn't need fuel pump upgrade if your keeping the TD04 turbo.

I really don't want to be changing any parts if I can help. Just wondered whether or not a map would improve drivability etc.
I had a Volvo T5 and that a plug and play map - don't seem to exist for Subaru?!?! Literally took two mins to map, two mins to load the old one back on. Gains were not considerable but gave some extra punch.

Yes, definately. The standard map on the 2.5 WRX restricts the performance, so getting it remapped frees up the engine. Will have better throttle response and will drive better. Worth doing.
You wont get a plug and play map for the subaru. Every car is different and every car will respond differently to a map so best to get yours done by an expert.

This is great info folks.
So how much am I looking at for a simple re-map to release the power?
What would you guys expect my figures to raise to?
According to figures my car should be outputting 227hp..and 236 ft·lbf, 320 N·m torque now.
I usually get around 30mpg too.

Have a look here, post 34:

Economy will definitely increase per bhp output, what you'll find is that after a remap you'll have 100-150lb/ft more and approx 30bhp more, but still be seeing the same MPG perhaps a little more.

Grayham, that sounds great. All for £300 plus travel. Where are you based and what are travel costs to Grimsby?
Might have to twist the missus' arm a bit though ;-)

No extra, unless second map is a bit time consumig but normally its for example lower boost or one vpower and one vpower+meth etc so doesnt take ages to do from what has beem done already. £300+vat.
