I did a Rolling Road @ Clive Attowes in Norwich on sunday.I have a stardard car ,except a scoobyworld afterburner .I was expecting the normal 220 bhp ,But no managed to get 254.6 BHP ! .I run it on optimax and unleaded in an emergency .I cannot see the point in having ppp for such alittle increase ,or will it increase it by alot more ? It has 13k on the clock .

scottywrx

was that with Danny's dawes device on ?

salsa-king

a ful Afterburner full system or just back box?
wouldn't have thought just a BB would give 25bhp.. full system yes.. BB no IMO

DBY

It would be interesting if you also had the torque figure as well

248.1 torque ,just backbox and no dawes (scott)

scottywrx

surprising figures given no dawes

jimmy wrx

Clive even run it again ,coz he couldn't believe it .He had his team under the car checking for a de-cat

My 2003 WRX was rolling roaded at the xtremely conservative R.R. @ Star Performance when it had 2,000 miles on the clock. New back box only, custom made with not an inch of new piepwork - fitted to standard sytem - it made just shy of 240 BHP.

I would not be surprised if the new WRX's were a bit understated - seem to see lots of similar figures, always generally higher than 224 or so quoted.

Remapped for Optimax according to Subaru - Opinions?

DBY

Good figures you must be a happy bunny think of that money saved on PPP!!

Not driven one myself but the seat of the pants reports I've heard suggest they are substantially quicker than the bugeyes, suggesting to me that Subaru are back to understating the power...which is nice

There was another one done at the G-Force rolling road day, think it was madmark? i think he got 252 with just a PPP backbox on it too.

I want to get mine on the rollers now to see what it can do!!

This would explain my mates standard MY03 WRX keeping up with my 02 WRX PPP on a spirited run. Gutted, could have put the £1600 towards a new car.

yes it was, also Andy naturbo2000 with his 03 WRX, full system with sports cat got 274.

So ,I am not alone .The potential is phenominal

I would have been interested to know what a PPP '03 WRX would have got on the same RR on the same day to be honest so that a proper comparison could be made on BHP/torque/etc...

Not sure its time to write off the PPP just yet!

elgordano

The Sti8 + PPP that ran only got 285 bhp

Has anyone had ppp and not been happy/very happy with the RR Bhp figure ?

I know of one 03 wrx which had ppp fitted and came up with well below the 265 bhp figure stated by prodrive

R6

I had a sti-9 with ppp and got a shock when it only made 256bhp, after taking back to a dealer, they discoverd a problem with the map.

A re-run a couple of week later made 301 bhp.

Hello Chris,

How is life treating you these days - I have been enjoying my black 1.6 Focus courtesy car for nearly two weeks now. Moved house yet?

Any problems or risk with DET if getting big BHP increases with changing just the back box ?? Plus... I take it your Warranty goes out the door is well ??

Neilo

Nah it doesnt do anything to the warranty really, and no probs with det that ive found as it would be much further up the exhause that it would happen.

Most garages are fairly lenient when it comes to backboxes......but if your that bothered about it, just keepthe original, and if it ever goes back to the garage the whip the new one off and put the original one back on....only takes 20 mins if that.

No running problems at all - Subaru will gladly fit a prodrive or STI box or WR sport box or whatever with no changes needed - my dealer seem unconcerned about the back box but I assume the exhaust section immediately attached to it will not be xcovered under any warranty - probably was not anyway.
