C_WRX Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) This week the car was fitted with a few new items and then today I got the pleasure of meeting AndyF for him to work his magic on the car . From fairly standard Blobeye WRX all the improvements added up to to an estimated 279-280bhp and 300-304 torque result. Okay so by a lot of peoples standards on here this is not much but for me it is a big thing ! That's about as much want to get out of the standard TD04 turbo so if get chance for more in future it'd need to be a few STi items !! Positive - it just feels so much better, the torque pull difference is night and day, just keeps going. Regrets - should have done this sooner ! Negative point - I ALREADY WANT MORE !!!!! Good time to thank a few people for help and advice. Gus The Bus and Cal for always replying to my annoying emails with good sound advice. Two Dunc's at Hypertech for excellent work and a good hour of car chat. Last but not least Andy Forrest who on top of being a with the old tuning malarky is also a nice bloke! Not sure if I was treated as a special Port Seaton visitor having the local wildlife c&@p all over the car - ah well, needs a wash anyway !!!! Edited February 6, 2009 by C_WRX
cammy Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 I have been trying to get hold him for a quote on mine but cant get him
RA Dunk Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 he does answer his emails, it might just take a bit of time depending how busy he is
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Great news ma' man ! I knew you'd be pleased........the spool up on a remapped TD04 with freer breathing exhaust is immense eh ! How long before you upgrade to STi pinks, Sti TMIC and a VF35 ?!?!?!?! Cal p.s Andy F gets tons of email a day so if you want to grab his attention have a title like " REQUEST >> Remap Booking Session Please "
wulsey Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Nice! Mines going into Duncans this week for STI tmic,sti pinks,sti up pipe,delete elbow & Vf34 from andy f fitted & Andy is coming over on monday the 16th to do his stuff!
mystery machine Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 That's a healthy increase in peak torque Do they give you a before/after torque curve graph for comparison? I only ask out of curiosity - you're obviously pleased with the on-the-road results, which is the important thing!
marky.t.s Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 nice one mate,so what were the "improvements" to a "fairly standard Blobeye WRX" ? i really need to do something like this one of these days
pmacFTO Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Check Andy's site to see the standard Stage 1-5 upgrades and what is required http://www.andyforrestperformance.co.uk/58901.html
marky.t.s Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 so this is all that was done then............ 01-05 WRX 2.0 UK/EURO STD 218/225 BHP Level 1 260-280 bhp Full Decat or Sportscat exhaust from turbo back 2.5 or 3” bore Ecutek Custom ECU recalibration (similar to PPP) Twin boost set up for high/low power switchable in-car Walbro 255 l/hr uprated fuel pump K+N panel filter
Big Gordon Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Great stuff Colin, maybe need to have a wee chat as i'm looking into something like this for mine
C_WRX Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) Great news ma' man ! I knew you'd be pleased........the spool up on a remapped TD04 with freer breathing exhaust is immense eh !How long before you upgrade to STi pinks, Sti TMIC and a VF35 ?!?!?!?! Cal Finally got round to it Cal, and yes you were right, so much better ! Spoke to Andy and he agrees that STi pinks, STi TMIC and a VF34/5 would be the next stage. With baby Lucy arriving spending stops on the car for a while. marky.t.s - that was roughly what I did but took the advice of decatting the uppipe at the same time for not just slightly more power but safety too, where cat can break up and only has the turbo to go in to !! wulsey - more or less what I'd be going for next, I'm sure it'll feel brilliant. Mystery Machine - there is a comparison graph, which I can't seem to scan & load on ! Edited February 7, 2009 by C_WRX
Frank_STI Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Nice!Mines going into Duncans this week for STI tmic,sti pinks,sti up pipe,delete elbow & Vf34 from andy f fitted & Andy is coming over on monday the 16th to do his stuff! I will see you there mate, mines booked in too, just got the 20G to fit and fuel pressure regulator to fit this week
thewelsho Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Congratulations mate, enjoy it! I know the feeling about wanting more, most of us are in that. I was living with my new power until Jimser took me for a spin... ever since then my car feels like its running on diesel!
