Anyone know what power a 2002 uk spec bigeye sti runs standard ? Can't seem to find any info online ?

262bhp as they toned down a touch from the jap 280bhp.
The prodrive version was 300bhp.

Simple decat and remapp easy 320bhp to 330bhp :)

I may be buying one tomorrow it's advertised as a sti prodrive is already decated with a full stainless and hks headders so hopefully it's around the 320bhp mark

Also do u know if the sti engine internals are forged as standard ?

Not "forged" but seem happy at 400 to 450 :)

Cool thanks for the info guys

The early sti newage avcs engines are strong and was lead to have forge pistons stronger rods and crank. Not machine forged but cast stronger. Can run 450bhp on these. I love mine. Everyday is a good car. But doesn't have that feel any of my classics had. I think the ultimate impreza for me would be newage engine and box in a v5-6 type r. Havnt driven a spec c or widetracked to comment on these yet.

Also decatted and headers it must be mapped to..

Now there's an idea ;)

Cj you must know as you had same didnt you and now a type.r

Yes and for most days I'd have the bug back .
Once on track the type r wins though :)

Is it really 262bhp? That's what the PPP on the WRX gets (well, claims) so seems unusual to set the two the same.

The FSTi is 265bhp in standard guise (on UK fuel) and I always assumed it was the same.

I know we're talking about a difference of 3bhp, so this might seem a touch daft to query, but I'm just curious. It's an earnest question.

Why choose between a bug and a type r when you can have both ? ;)
