Hey all,

I finally got round to getting the STi remapped after owning it for over 2 years now. I previously ran at Powerstation in October 2009, where I got 330bhp and 280lb/ft torque with simply the PPP and my exhaust system. Graph below:

Yesterday I had the car mapped by RaceDynamix who does Opensource tuning as opposed to your usual ECUtek that most Subarus go for. I found the whole experience great fun. The mapper dialled in the wastegate control, boost targets etc, whilst going back and forth up a nice stretch of road until he was happy with where it was left.

So, fast forward to today, and a tank of fuel later, I'm at Powerstation for a power run. Below is the graph:

I made 372bhp and 335lb/ft torque, whilst being about 0.1 bar off the target boost! I believe thats around 110bhp over stock :D I tried to do a quick and very rough overlay of the two results just so you can see the gains and that is below:

At first I didn't really feel the gains if I'm honest, but that was probably due to blasting it up and down a dual carriage way all morning, but since then boy have I noticed the difference, it pulls so much harder and cleaner! And there's some lovely pops and bangs on the overrun!

As always I took the liberty of making a video whilst at Powerstation (that's all my youtube channel is full of!)


And a quick dash up a slight incline


Just thought I'd share. Thanks for looking !

So standard STIs are 265bhp and you've got 370+ - what max BHP is the factory turbo rated for?

I would have thought pushing over 100bhp more would severly reduce the life expectancy of the standard turbo.

Either way its a nice boost, you'll enjoy that.
 
Brilliant. Watching that speedo climbing that fast I honestly can't think why anyone would need to go that fast let alone faster on something thats used on public roads, and thats coming from someone that enjoys a spot of spirited driving now and again.
I hope your very happy with it and you aren't gonna try chasing more power.

HUH WHAAAAA :confused::p

BAN ALL FAST CARS ON OUR ROADS, CHILD KILERRZZZZ !!! Thats quick but i assure you theres far quicker cars on the roads. I dont think i need to explain to you why you would want something that fast, ill let you work it out yourself.

I also hope you are very happy with it kosta and hope you are going to try and chase some more power :D
 
Very nice, a friend of mine is looking at selling his 05 STi PPP very soon and videos like that make it a very tempting prospect. I don't think I could live with that noise every day though.

A standard or PPP exhaust will be nowhere near as loud as that :) They are very quiet standard, just that the world and their dog fit huge exhausts as soon as they buy one normally.

That's pretty impressive if it's just a remap and exhaust system.
 
lol i can always hear father inn law in his think ihs is about same as your performance wise and his is black . hes had four or five now try and get some shots up when see him. i actually used to like the smaller version better also seemed a little quicker to me

And how is Duncan these days? Did you get to see his car? It's a pretty fearsome weapon itself.



I'm losing track: what's been done to your car apart from PPP and remap?
