Fang44 Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Very excited picking up my sti sedan 2010 after the 340r has been fitted. Looking forward to 20% more torque and 40 more bhp with more burble !!!!
Gambit Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 jealous much.... Yes is that it in the profile picture. If it is at least you have the rear spoiler I think the cars look horrible without :)
Miggs Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 well gel too, love the sedan in these new models, the hatch is a stunning car but the sedan looks so much more
Fang44 Posted July 20, 2013 Author Posted July 20, 2013 jealous much.... Yes is that it in the profile picture. If it is at least you have the rear spoiler I think the cars look horrible without :) Yep that's my beastie with its spoiler - I must have option! 1
Gambit Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Good choice :) I know they came without and the spoilers there an added extra but well worth having. There is a white one I've seen driving around near me looks great from the front but like a big fat slapped face from the back without the spoiler IMO
Jay762 Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Agree spoiler is a must - that upgrade is going to put a smile on your face!!
Mick5994 Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Any update on this? I'm looking at getting one with the 340R pack already fitted so wont see the difference. A nice little write up wouldnt go un-thanked......
Fang44 Posted July 29, 2013 Author Posted July 29, 2013 Hi Mick Just been enjoying the mod - now in a position to give a bit more details on the changes that the 340r pack brings to the driver. First of the all the new pipes on the exhaust look great, a bit bigger, they protrude out of the rear spoiler slightly more which looks a lot more purposeful. Also they have stainless steel like gauze affect inside which looks great. When you fire the car up the new noise is instantly noticeable, a bit louder but a lot deeper and lots more burble - instant smile when i first started the car after the mods were completed, lovely deep burble that gets louder with the revs, but too loud or over the top - wonderfully enhancing that boxer noise. So part one of the mod - awesome! Happy. :) OK to the remap which promises 40 more BHP and 20% more torque The word that comes to mind is "smooth" - the previous turbo lag has almost been tuned away - the power is available far lower in the rev band than the previous 3500rpm + The big pause before the push of the turbo is gone, the feeling of torque from low down is awesome and the car just pulls like a train all the way through and seems to climb through the revs quicker, due to the smoothness an eye has to be kept on the MPH dial as the speed accumulates oh so quick. And this is the same at low speed, its just jumps away when you push hard on the throttle, over taking is even more effortless as you dont have to time the revs/gears as much - it just pulls like a train. Also i have noticed, although never been that important but nice to have is that the fuel doesn't seem to go down as fast - again this was promised and seem to have improved the MPG. Overall. i love the changes, a worthwhile upgrade, the noise is fantastic, the smooth power delivery fantastic and it is so much more fun not having to wait for the turbo to come in. I do whole heartedly recommend it, the car feels a lot faster and a lot smoother. Regards Fang 2
Mick5994 Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Thanks Fang, great write up and now really need to have the one I'm looking at to be still available at the end of August......
Scooby Pete Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Just out of interest how much was the 340R pack?
Scooby Pete Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Lol yeah I just looked on their website. Wonder how it compares to the Prodrive 330 ppp pack? Can't seem to find any info on what is was. This was a dealer upgrade rather than the Prodrive 330s badged edition with recaros and updated exhaust etc.
Fang44 Posted July 29, 2013 Author Posted July 29, 2013 Thanks Fang, great write up and now really need to have the one I'm looking at to be still available at the end of August...... Get it Mick, you will love it!
Fang44 Posted July 29, 2013 Author Posted July 29, 2013 Not sure but the thing that attracted me was that it doesn't affect the cars manufacturers warranty!
Scooby Pete Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 From the looks of it Pro R is an alternative to the Prodrive packs as neither invalidate the warranty. Found this for the 2008 PPP Power 330bhp at 5400rpm and torque 470Nm at 3400 rpm This pack contains.. Recalibrated engine management system High flow intercooler hose Stainless steel sports exhaust silencers Complies with Euro 4 emissions and noise regulations as per 'supercar limits’ http://www.subarupartsstore.co.uk/product/Impreza_WRX_STI_2.5_2008_-_onwards_Performance_Pack_SACC2811 I guess the extra 10bhp come from the removal of the cat in the Pro R set up.
Fang44 Posted July 29, 2013 Author Posted July 29, 2013 thats looks equally useful - another excellent option! Oh the joys of subaru ownership
Fang44 Posted July 29, 2013 Author Posted July 29, 2013 I agree good write up cheers for the info :) No problem for my fellow owners 1
