		Subject: Enging Tuner || New Question Sender's Name: chris piper Question: hi alan, ive been offered a evo 2 an can get it on a really good deal, i was just wondering if theses are easy to tune an mod, i think its got a front mount an been told its around 300 bhp, if i get it i\'ll bring it down to put on the rollers, many thanks chris. Answer: Hi Chris - I really like these! we don't see very many, but the cars are great to drive, with a lightness of touch missing from a lot of 4wd offerings. They are a bit trickier to tune compared to the later Evos, but aren't at all bad with just a light tweak.
		Subject: Enging Tuner || New Question Sender's Name: ben Question: ok thanks it just ive spent money on the exterior look of the car by fitting a custom kit fitted is there a chance to do an engine change Answer: Anything can be done, but be wary of spending much more than it's worth! We can do a few things like a Superchip, induction kit and exhaust? That would add around 12 bhp for £700 or so. We could also improve the handling with slightly lowered springs and the brakes with EBC discs and pads.

Turbo Technics used to supply a Supercharger kit, but there is no denying the engines can be problematic! Personally, I'd say your best bet is to add the £3000 to what you'd get by selling it, then seek out the 160 bhp version.
		Subject: Enging Tuner || New Question Sender's Name: Sam Question: Hi, my STi PPP has recently developed a hesitation only when accelerating gently between 1500-2000 rpm. Just seems to hang back. Been to main dealer for checks but no faults found. ECU cleared (now feels like a non PPP!) but hesitation remains. At some point I\'m planning to visit you for forged pistons but is this the prelude to the dreaded ringland failure? Answer: Hi. That doesn't sound like a piston issue, but rather more like there's something the matter with it. If it were possible, I'd dyno test it and go from there.
