do these come with water incooled spray?

also just wondering what sort of bhp can these internals take...and what power the stock turbo can take...is it reasonable to achieve 350bhp ish on one of these without any internal work?

any info related to WRX RA that you can give me would be fantastic.

Which model year?

 

1993 which im guessing is the first version...

 

Model code GC8A47D or GC8B47D

No water spray by the way and about 240 bhp as standard.

The question as to how much power the car can take is very tricky. What's the history of the car? How many miles has it done? You see you could get the power upto around 300bhp and have no problems or you could do nothing to it at all and it could break tomorrow. Are you with me?

 

Also, have a look here

and I would suggest posting the questions in technical, the mods will move it any way.

First thing you need to do though mate is give us all something to go on. Get the turbo code for eg VF22, the correct engine code, history, current mods. I have an MY99 RA and I know they can be a bit perplexing - happy to help be need more info.

Cheers

P.S. See you in Genral Technical

 

Just bought a Japanese 93 ra mate, not sure on codes but it has ic water spray(switch on left side of dash) i thought they were 280 standard...no?

 

no man, the sti type ra 1995 on are about 276bhp

 

Oh bugger and i've told eveyone its 280

 

WRX RA and STI RA are entirely different cars.

 

Oh well soon will be just got a Scott Taylor chip, large intercooler, filter and full system. Bloody scoobs only had it a week and spent 1500 quid on bits. I hope you know what your letting yourself in for Raz.

 

Dont worry mate the car will fluctuate in terms of power output depending on the season. Try not to worry too much

 

nah man but dont worry bouti it, everyone around here says their scoobs are 320, and they are bog standard!haha, just look in the autotrader and u will see scoobies for sale saying "350bhp model" tossers. urs can be anywhere from 230bhp to 250bhp, depending what condition its in etc, get the pics up wen u get the chance

 

Its quick enough at 240

 

Off for 4 days after tonight so will post some pics. It was totally standard when i got it. It had done 2500 miles in 11 months i paid 3500 for it, the guy paid 5000 11 months ago.. a baragin

 

Engine code is GC8A47D and the turbo is a TD-05

already had the modify bug...its going to keep on going.

 

I had a early 1994 WRX RA.

Mods: ScoobyECU 15.5 psi, H&S decat downpipe, Blitz Exhaust rear decat, HKS Induction Kit. Dont know how far you can go with the engine, how big is your pocket.. I hear the early ones had a higher compression ratio and could not take much boost before detting.

Made 279bhp on RR day. They have lightened bonnet, boot, no skirts, no rear spoiler, Close Ratio Gearbox. Mine had A/C and Central locking some dont have these.

They are rapid upto about 100Mph.
