Whats The Difference...

Can anyone point out the differences between the P1 engine and the 98/99/00 type R engine/s?

nothing mate P1 engine is a version 5 engine mapped for uk fuel with a different gearbox with longer gearing

I didn't think they mapped them for UK fuel. I thought they just increased the knock sensitivity, and added broquets to the fuel tank. P1's deffo had the broquets as I saw them when replacing fuel pump.

.....engines are the same but the P1 is not actually mapped for UK fuel, its a stock Version 5 map and they just dropped a fuel broquette into the tank to raise the RON of UK fuel.. once thats disintigrated then thats when the problems start, hence so many have had a rebuild.. at least, that is what was explained to me a while ago when I asked the question.

Cheers,

I've never heard of a "fuel broquette"

Sounds a bit **** of subaru to not map or even have a different ecu, thought that would have been done by Prodrive

I don't think many P1 owners could say they don't use V-Power or similar....maybe even with a touch of octane booster, with their stock ECU'd car.

Not everyone will run a Type-R on anything less either, so there isn't any issues at all........mine is still on it's original engine, as is a lot of other owners.
