Contemplating power...

[sirscooby]

Hi,

I have a de-cat downpipe, what looks like a small centre cat and unresonated mid-section with afterburner vortex silencer (the exhaust pipes prob have 3" diameter) - also have a different manifold on(according to my mechanic) - and for what it is worth an earthing kit fitted (nice blue wires all over engine bay!)

apart from that engine is standard.

What BHP might I expect now, and what might a remap put that up to?

Thanks guys...

depends what she's running stock bud.......... a remap can unleash no end of power depending what she's running mod wise......

[sirscooby]

mod wise just the exhaust and manifold at the moment...
any ideas what just doing the exhaust would add...
it was all done when I bought the car, so not sure on the exact tech spec...

hmmmmm,tricky one,with just headers on mine i was putting down 234.something,from the stock 217....would think with remap de-cat,complete system..........er .........not really sure,is yours a Wrx??

[sirscooby]

yeah, a bug wrx, decatted down pipe, etc... My mechanic was surprised it passed an MOT...

speak to martin at ajs , but decat/remap will give you 265bhp m8 .

small centre cat ????

you will pass MOT with a cat

FULL de-cat and headers with remap would probably get you upto 260/270
the headers,if good ones, will produce alot of torque rather than power

what you really need is a vf34 turbo,as fitted to the sti7 jdm RA , to get you upto and around 330-340 bhp with your current mods, may need bigger injectors, then definately a remap, may not be worth remapping it with just a decat, some say do some say don't, i'd wait till you add some things

ps , i know of a vf34 for sale soon
9000 miles, running 348/362 on a classic that does the quarter mile in 12.578
i'll get you his details if your intersted ;)

I would expect to see around 265 - 285 bhp and 260ish lbft of torque witn an Ecutek remap from ourselves..The standard injectors are maxed out at this level on a UK WRX and the intercooler is beginning to run out of flow...The change to a front mount takes this restriction away and a set of Sti pink injectors would be needed for more power...

About right...:wink: Graham has this power on his WRX but without a remap as yet. Think he will get a little more if he turns the boost up.
