Had the day off yesterday - went to see Subaru4you in Newbury for a bit of spannering ! Had a Samco Turbo Inlet Hose fitted (Bugger of a job) Inlet manifold spacers, 20k service, Cusco rear brace and under diffuser, Oil pressure/temp sensors for the PSI3 monitor and an SPT Short Air Intake. Super Job and service as usual and got them to throw on some PIAA Silicone wipers before I headed home.

On the way back though I was gutted at the amount of noise from the air intake - not only the woosh of the air but the fluttering and chattering that came with it.

Anyways - all is good as I was booked in with Bob Rawle in Swindon today for a remap so the first job of the day was to put the original airbox and STi panel filter back on. Bob reckoned it was no more restrictive and a hell of a lot quieter. He then proceeded to spend a good four hours on the car getting the base map sorted and then out on the road for some fun !

Ive never been out on the road for a mapping session before and it was quite an experience ! Holding boost at 0.5 and then one bar whilst Bob watches whats happening, pull over for some tweaking and then out again for another run.

And boy what a difference, the car is pulling like a train right through the revs in every gear ! Bob reckons its putting about 330bhp and over 350 lbs torque. Im very pleased and I would thoroughly recommend the good Dr Bob if anyone is needing a remap..

So no more mods for a while - need to start saving for some AST coilovers !

Booked in for a Dyno run tomorrow evening to see what the graphs/numbers say  

Bartop has more money than sense? :mutley:


Open goal TBH

Lol  

...its a fairly harmless if somewhat expensive hobby, the way I look at it I could have blown it all on gambling/alcohol and loose women...

...ahh, oh damn, that would have been even more fun..  :shock:  

Anyone want to buy a second hand slightly modified family run around ?

You need this

Modding is great, ive spent a couple of grand on my brand new car, still plenty to look forward to

a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a simlilar spec car (performance wise)

I got the induction kit on mine just for the noise! does sound a bit chav but its great, especially the dump valve sound

I just got my results back from the DeltaDash runs - according to the numbers from that the car is pushing out 372 bhp and 407 torque !

I think that cant be right but Ive got it booked on the rollers tomorrow evening, Ive had it on there before and the best its shown so far is 311/350 so will be interesting to compare

It might be their equipment is being generous or hopefully not

Heres the numbers in full - anything look odd ?

Maximum Wheel Power:   281.0 BHP @ 5782 RPM
Maximum Wheel Torque:  306.3 LbFt @ 4088 RPM
Power to weight ratio: 171.3 BHP per ton

Terminal velocity due to power: 155.5 mph

In Gear Acceleration:
    40 - 60mph = 2.1 seconds
    50 - 70mph = 2.2 seconds
    60 - 80mph = 2.6 seconds

Speed per 1000 RPM:
  1st:   5.0 mph
  2nd:   8.9 mph
  3rd:  12.7 mph
  4th:  17.9 mph
  5th:  23.6 mph

Maximum Speed per Gear:
  1st:  35.7 mph
  2nd:  63.4 mph
  3rd:  90.4 mph
  4th: 127.0 mph
  5th: 167.3 mph

Total Vehicle Mass:   1640kg
Drag Co-efficient:    0.39
Frontal Area:         3.20 square metres
Wheel/Tyre Setup:     225/45/18
Tyre Diameter:        660mm
Tyre Circumference:   2073mm
Engine Rev Limit:     7100
Test gear:            3
Max Speed of gear:    90 mph
Air Intake Temp:      26Ã,°C (79Ã,°F)
Atmospheric Pressure: 1.00 bar

So youve dropped power?  Or where the previous ones at the flywheel?

Yep - previous numbers are calculated crank - figure 25% drivetrain losses on the Scoobs.

That is a heavy auld boat - I would say the weight combined with the brick shape would see the top speed a lot lower than the estimate?

A 944 Turbo makes 162mph on 250hp - but it is a lot slippier, and a HELL of a lot lighter.

Power to weight puts you on a par with something like an integra type r which is quite good for something that size!

That weight was a guesstimate with 2 up (and Im no lightweight !) plus a boot load of gear.

The kerb weight is 1490kg, which is 85kg more than the Impreza.

The Dyno says 340 bhp / 380 torques

Thats more like it tbh and is a nice jump from 310/340 where I was before
