What bhp is a standard subaru sti type uk 03 reg.

Thanks

 

265, ish.

PPP upgrade is supposed to be 305.

 

Thanks for that

 

That's the official figure.

In reality, and according to some mappers, when rolling roaded, they very rarely hit or exceed the 265PS (261bhp)... Albeit, they are in the 'ballpark'. Splitting hairs.

 

I think any book figure from any production car is subject to variation, to be fair.

 

Totally.

They have no choice but to quote 'an average best power and torque' figure.

 

JDM is over 300bhp, Some have been known to make closer to 320bhp

 

My brothers ran 268 bhp standard so that was good then.

 

Motor was a good 'un.

 

Or the dyno was on the optimistic side.

 

Yeah, there is that.

So many variables when RR'ing.

 

Variables:
weather..
humidity
air temp
altitude
fuel grade
car age
etc etc....

all make a difference

 

For instance,

A lad I know ran his car at RCM, car made just shy of 340. He then drove (same day) straight to surry rolling road. Same car, same day, car ran 360.

Dyno figures aren't by any stretch of the imagination accurate. They are a ball park figure and can vary massively from dyno to dyno. People get to caught up in what bhp their car is when in reality, the way it drives is whats important. Im as guilty as anyone though as I always used to be about the bhp.
