22B at Wingers in Greenlane

[QRAF]

man that looks nice

[cornf3]

thanks. it looks real tidy hes done a good job of putting it back to factory. i did notice he has the same trust exhaust as mine. the engine looks standard, but have heard it has a possum link.

Do you know if wingers is going to have it for sale?

[Guest boostin]

The only non-factory bits that really stand out are a pair of slimline fog lamps in the front bumper and that bee sting aerial, and from what I've heard they're all coming off.

No, no idea what's happening with it.

[cornf3]

the centre gauge pod isnt standard either. do you know if they are going to put the exhaust back to standard?

[Guest boostin]

No, all they mentioned was the aerial and lamps.

[cornf3]

will they let any one drive it? Standard they are slower than a standard V5 type r coupe, but really come alive when modified.

[ReubenH]

Slower? Don't they have more power? I thought it was a case like the GTR's, etc. published as 206KW, but really a little more than that.

[Guest boostin]

One of the vehicle reconditioning guys (read groomers) drove it the other day down to... dunno where to be honest, but he reckoned it was damn quick and hard to keep in a straight line. It kept wanting to step the arse out. He has a reasonably modded V5 WRX so he should know what he's talking about.

[cornf3]

thats because its been chipped.

no 22b is detuned to 205kw. the type r has vf28 turbo and the 22b has the larger vf23 but vf28 spools quicker making it a touch faster to 100kph (talking when standard). When you tune it with an aftermarket computer and supporting mods you can get heaps more power out compared to type r and more torque as it is a 2.2ltr.

You will not get anymore power out of a 22b versus a type R they are both limited by the turbo. The v3 type r also came with the vf23.

But yes the 22b will have more low down torque and spool better.

Urban myth, perpetuated by the internets.

[ReubenH]

My thoughts. Always trust the INTERNETS. Especially NASIOC.

/sarcasm

What about the S201, and it's unique power plant? Still 206Kw?

[Guest]

yes as stock it made more power than a std sti of the day - 221 KW @ the engine

Im not sure i'd call the engine unique tho - the one i've seen looked pretty std.

[ReubenH]

well they rev over 9000rpm don't they? But yeah, unique probably wasn't the best word

[Guest]

I could not say no they don't - 100%

But i seriously doubt that it does.

Just like every other Sti it makes peak power about 6500rpm so why would you bother upgrading the rods with all the extra expense that goes with it?

With a vf turbo it would make stuff all power at 9000rpm for alot of reasons.

To me the engine looked like a std ver 6 r or ra engine with a bigger intake and exhaust. And they tuned it for abit more boost. It doesn't take much to gain 15kw.

[cornf3]

just put all you dreamers right. 22b is based on a v4 sti type R. hence why it looks identical to this. only difference is it has a vf23 and closed deck 2.2 block.

[newsuba]

haha

I had posted something similar until I read the previous posts and found the discussion had moved onto S201's.

[G-unit]

saw a video last week of a ver4 type r vs 22b, type r was quicker in 400m and 1000m

[cornf3]

Yes. Thats why most 22Bs are modified in some way as you dont want to be at the lights and beaten by a v4sti type R. as i said before standard they are detuned to 205kw at flywheel

not too mention the sick ass wide body... nom nom nom.. the front kit is super nice too. IMO

id love a 22b.. last time i saw one on tardme was about 55k! :

[ReubenH]

Those red cambelt covers must surely add 20kw though!

But yeah, i'm aware 22B's are just tickled V4 RA coupes, there's always going to be myths floating around em. Especially from America, they even look at BG GTB's as something way more than they are. Numerous times i've had to point out to em that no, BG's don't get alloy bonnets, no, they don't get 4-pots etc etc. Lol.

But, but... Reubs... What do you MEAN?! it's JDM tight yo!

[Guest loren]

I heard that the 22b is basically the Veyron of the 90's. Is this true?

[cornf3]

modified they are. mine does 0-100 in 4 seconds flat and tops out at 250kph, may go to 260 but would be right in the redline only because of the gearing. The UK 22B tops out at 280kph ( has longer 5th gear)

I wasn't being serious. you can't really compare them at all.
