Unichip Upgrades Subaru Impreza 2.0 Turbo Diesel to 168HP

Posted by Mr Dung Monday, March 8, 2010

 

The diesel version of the European market Subaru Impreza has caught the tuning attention of Unichip, a firm that as its name implies, fiddles around with ECUs. The company claims that thanks to some subtle electronic tweaks to the 2.0-liter turbo diesel engine's fuelling and boost settings, output is raised by 18HP and torque by 33 lb-ft for a total of 168-horsepower and 291lb.ft of torque.

No performance or economy figures were released, but Unichip vaguely states that "drivers reported a 5-10% consumption improvement compared to standard".
 
In the UK, the Unichip U-Connect upgrade is priced at £465.30 including 17.5% VAT.
