Tbh on the standard tubro i would really ignore the peak figure, drivability and response is the best improvement you get with the map

only 100% way i to look at the vin number, 16 digits uk car, 7 numbers and its an import. Jap cars have strange looking vin numbers. Totaly different car but you can see the jap style vin.

It varies from car to car, I've seen one that would do more than 245bhp without detting :o Simply put not all cars achieve those figures so expect around 260 and anything else is a bonus, also varies from dyno to dyno.

Standard turbo is unlikley to see 300, more like 260 ish with a td04 on a classic. Thing with the first map is it make a massive difference to responce and how it drives. O would be an electric aerial on rear quarter on a wrx as well

O easy way to tell ont he classics if its uk or import (unless been moded of course) is none of the UK models had rear wiper

Ah k yeah that changes things then. To clarify, in the classic shape, WRX and STI are japanese import only models. Uk only had the UK turbo and P1, all the other specials like series macrae, catalunya etc were just cosmetic upgrades with optional prodrive upgrades, such as the PPP, based on the UK trubo. P1 was based on a v5 sti Type R with some of the goodies removed (such as dccd) and more sound deadening. Uk didnt get wrx and sti till the new age shape, 2001 onwards.

o wagon was different again, iirc that was 240bhp in stock form

o my bad hahaha http://www.impreza-wrx.net/specs/1999_sep/specs_wrx/

Go ask the question on 22b where most of the well known mappers like Andy Forrest and Paul B frequent mate, Andy F called him Dung khan after seeing some of the cars he's mapped.. He also doesnt road test after dyno mapping and you do realise that your have no insurance cover while hes mapping your car on the road if your driving it?

Info for a wrx will be totaly different chaps. Personal i wouldn't use duncan for mapping if he paid me but each to their own.

Im guessing this is cheap chinese import stuff? especialy given the td05 20g you sell is £180

0/390 not been using it to go to work past week so milage has slowed a bit hahaha

tis your car mate, if you like it go for it fook what anyone else says

saw 3 of em at the weekend lol

personaly think its a bit been there and done that. But its your car dude, if you fancy it, do it

dyno and road map are the same, although technicly neither open source or ecutek is live mapping

no probs, its all a bit of a mine field and just picking a figure is never a good idea. After about 450bhp you'll struggle to use all the power anyway and a well setup 450bhp car will be quicker than a 550bhp throw a big turbo at it car.

tbh i think you need to go see a specialist, have a dyno run and see where your at then decide the route you go.

Something doesnt sound right with that tbh, 400bhp on 1.0 bar of boost seems way too low boost for that power, got a dyno graph or anything like that?

Assuming the pics you put up are your engine then you wont get there. A semi open deck block wont do 700bhp without shatting itself im afraid :( APS are just bolt on bits and mega expensive for what they are IMO, to get high power figures you need an engine speced from the block upwards, literally every part internal will need to be speced for it, balanced crank, rods, pistons, heads would need to be speced to take it as well valves. As suggested i would decide what tuner you want to use and take advice from them. Just be aware there a re very few tuner out there who regularly build big power cars. Only two i would want to use for something like that would be Scoobyclinic or Enginetuner.

gives us a starting point then :) 700bhp for road use is too much imo, mines been speced up for about 550bhp and that will be daft tbh i suspect 500 will give you what you want. hoe to get there is the question. Just to clarify a few points, It's a road use car will you be doing drag runs? will you be doing track days? to put it into context, this car is mid 600's and while lighter than yours by a way is no use on the road at all, Also be warry of american tuning figures claiming 600+ etc tend to find they arn't anywhere near that in our figures

As said on the next few posts yes mate. 700bhp from a subaru engine is extremely high and is unlikely to last more than 5-10k miles before needing a refresh if it actualy gets to that level. Lets try this a different way What's the most power impreza you've been in?

Afraid your current engine won't do 700bhp and I would expect a bill above 20k to get there.

will affect the speedo reading

o yeah read that wrong hahahaha saw the 3 and thought version 3 hahaha
