Had an Ecutek 2 remap done at Power engineering Uxbridge on my 01 WRX which would have started of at about 215 bhp (yours will have the later OE ecu and 225 bhp) - have K & N panel filter prodrive back box (not decatted etc yet) and saw 265 bhp @ 6400 and 247lbs - have fitted Forge recirculating dump valve and PFR7's cooler plugs after - saving up for a bigger intercooler and exhaust/downpipe/ up pipe and would hope for 280 - 290 ish? :1:

You lot should really follow the Project Powerpack (MY03 WRX tuning) series in Scooby Magazine.

I have and its very interesting - partially the reason i'm delaying the exhaust (apart from the lack of foldy stuff!!!) As they say over 300bhp we've got to change up from the TD04 turbo and injectors/fuel pump etc so I will watch that one carefully. Perhaps more than just the horsepower its the drivability which is so improved. Good luck and let us know how you get on. :1:

ill let you lots now monday after i come back.thanks for all the help.

No worries m8 - hope it all goes well - you will enjoy - I think you will get bitten by the horse power bug and want more and more - never mind its only money!!!!!

had my remap very happy with it u can feel the difference powerstaion did a good job.268.2 bhp/363.4 nm torque. they said ill gain10 to 15bhp more on a cold

Nice one 268 bhp and yes this heat is a killer - you get so much heat soak - when I ran it first on the Dyno at Power Engineering I saw 270 and then 265 bhp not five minutes later. Need a bigger intercooler - have seen one of the GT spec splitters in stainless - I'll try that first and see as its a bit cheaper than a new intercooler (APS one looks good) - again congrats on the extra power m8!!!!!! :2: Hav you done any other modifications yet??

[azir]

had the down pipes done is well before the remap to get 280 but happy with 268 it feels great.u can hear the turbo spooling up.waiting for next jap show so i can try the 1/4mile again and see if i beat my previous time.

The STi8 intercoolers are a popular modification. I know Grade-A had a few to sell when they were at the Northern Big One.

thank u everyone for the advise i am going to leave the car the way it is at the moment and enjoy the power. thinkin of buying the my06? 8)

[johnboy]

MY 06 looks nice seen pics in mags - surprised they haven't put the 2.5l engine in however!! :P

[azir]

do now if they going to increase the bhp on the new one or is it going to be the same as the old ones.

[SteadyAway]

was reading in Jap performance today that 2006 Jap model has 2.5L engine, but we probably wont see it in the uk. BHP is supposed to be the same as the STi now, although it has bags more torque. JP have got a write up of their test drive in next months issue. So looking forward to that
