  1. 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.
  2. Im guessing this is cheap chinese import stuff? especialy given the td05 20g you sell is £180
  3. 0/390 not been using it to go to work past week so milage has slowed a bit hahaha
  4. tis your car mate, if you like it go for it fook what anyone else says
  5. saw 3 of em at the weekend lol
  6. personaly think its a bit been there and done that. But its your car dude, if you fancy it, do it
  7. dyno and road map are the same, although technicly neither open source or ecutek is live mapping
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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?
  11. 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.
  12. 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
  13. 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?
  14. Afraid your current engine won't do 700bhp and I would expect a bill above 20k to get there.
  15. will affect the speedo reading
  16. o yeah read that wrong hahahaha saw the 3 and thought version 3 hahaha
  17. rear wiper is a dead give away for an import
  18. v3 sti from the title so would be ok as long as a bit of mechanical sympathy given, gearbox would be on borrowed time though
  19. piston ring 3 times in 400 miles? soimething seriously wrong with that then
  20. although totlay different car, this is what a jap vin number looks like vin is just a number, not a 16 digit code
  21. Scoobyclinic up at chesterfield are top notch, mr syvecs himself pat herbron is based there and does alot of their mapping
  22. Uk/european car. Can tell cos jap cars have a 7 digit number for the vin instead of 16 digit cide
  23. Don't skimp on cheap mapping. Easiest way to cost you an engine
  24. fumes are drawn through a fluid that changes colour if exhaust gases are present. Different car so different tank location, but exactly the same test
