Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone can tell me when I get my wagon next week where I can take it to have more work done to increase the bhp, its currently running at 308bhp but would like to get more, I know it currently has the following SUBARU IMPREZA Turbo PRODRIVE 308bhp DYNO, its a wagon version

ok done 72k, full subaru service history, API exhaust with "D" pipe, V effector e/kit, chromium moly light wieght flywheel, Sports cluch,light wieth crank pully, high press radiator cap, down pipe, blitz profec B boost controller, defi link gauges, it has magnecor leads i believe, hks iducktion kit....

I am based in s.wales, any ideas guys?

Thanks

you can get it ecutek mapped

Tidgy · 17 Sep 2007, 09:29 PM

yep as said the prodrive map isn't designed to be used with a different turbo and tbh i wouldn't drive it untill its mapped for it, the fueling and flow rates will be totaly different (unless its already been custom mapped for it)

marks_prodrive · 17 Sep 2007, 09:35 PM

Well im unsure if it has or hasnt, as said on another post it was a guy of here sellin this car before but he traded it at a garage where im buying it, his car spec is here: http://www.subaru-impreza.org/bbs/sh...ad.php?t=36655

Maybe you can tell me if been mapped if you know him?

Thanks

Tidgy · 17 Sep 2007, 09:37 PM

yep it has been mapped so don't worry about that.

the limiting factor mibht be the ecu itself, when i had a similar spec mods put on (although i had a front mount as well) the ecu wouldn't play ball so had to go down the aftermarket ecu route, o also did away with the dreaded MAF

marks_prodrive · 17 Sep 2007, 09:46 PM

MAF? and will adjusting the turbo timer thing increase or decrease bhp?

Tidgy · 17 Sep 2007, 09:51 PM

nope,

the turbo timer just keeps the engine running after you turn it off for a couple of mins to let the turbo cool down with oil still flowing through it to prevent damage, shouldn't affect performance in anyway

MAF=Mass airflow sensor......

turbo timer will not adjust boost bud,a boost controller will be needed to do that....

marks_prodrive · 17 Sep 2007, 09:52 PM

oh thats good then

, as a matter of opinion would anyone sayin having all the back windows tinted is asking to be pulled over? as may have them removed, i just hate the hassel of being stopped every 5 bleedin minutes lol

Tidgy · 17 Sep 2007, 09:53 PM

rear windows fine, front windows bad

marks_prodrive · 17 Sep 2007, 09:55 PM

advert says it has a boost controller will need to find that lol, mind you i dont think i should probably play with that dont want to damage anything

marks_prodrive · 17 Sep 2007, 09:56 PM
