When buying the WR1 I expected to get 320 ps @5800rpm as specified by subaru. Should I expect this?

Having moved from an STI8 with ppp at 305bhp, previously 265bhp, were any of these checked to see if they came to what they were supposedly rated at??

I know the WR1 is quicker and smoother than the STI8 with ppp(having had both) Was any STI8 with ppp and STI8 standard checked to see if they came to advertised ps/bhp?

 

I suspect it'll be like any car, in that power will vary slightly from car to car, but the only WR1 I know that's been dyno'd got in excess of the stated figures.

if you look in southern there was a rolling road day on sat!

 

Ive replied to your post on www.wr1oc.co.uk mate bit of a essay but... hope its too your liking.

 

Also don't forget that 1ps does not = 1bhp. Have a look here http://www.pumaracing.co.uk/power1.htm

 

320ps = 314hp

At the WR1 Rolling Road Day.

We had a few at 315 BHP
A few at 310 BHP
and Few at 304 BHP


the WR1s which were at the 315BHP had been Driven VERY hard
the WR1s which were at the 310 BHP had been driven fairly hard ( mine included)
the WR1 which were.......LOL you know what im going to say...... One had not been reved over 5000RPM so once on the rollers and reving higher the ecu had some extra work to do for the first time and had some correcting to do. this is why a few WR1s were lower BHP

 

Yes, it was me , the ignition cut out once the ECU detected some knock in the engine, apparently having never detected it before due to my wussy driving, so now that the ECU has been re-set I am trying to teach it new tricks, ie hardly ever changing up from fourth and bouncing off the rev limiter, hence making all trips very rapid. much much fun

 

LOL sean mate cant believe you have never reved over 5000 RPM, im not sure Mike Wood could Believe it either !!
Hopw you are driving it properly now mate, as BHP will settle down to 315
