last thing i need to be forking out for is a rebuild etc or are these jap cars good for it?
i was thinking of simtec etc.
Best off getting a health check and compression test to find out how the engine holding up and what needs replacing, then get a mapper gauge what level the engine can safely cope with

My car has been modified at 88k and run well after 99k miles,when we are get Piston Ring failure/Ringland...
Personally before i put anything non-standard on car i would get health check and is everything OK and after this i would go to modify...

I might be mistaken but i think the impreza's from 1993 - 1996 had 4 plugs on the ecu1997 -1998 have 3 plugs,but as of yet are not mappable,and the 99/00 also have 3 plugs but use ecu tec software which is mappable.
If you had a J2 ecu then it would be able to be mapped,as this is the ecu fitted on the version 5. Your ecu has 3 plugs & non ecutec and is not a straight plug and play like the 99/00 models , so therefore cannot be mapped.
