240ps(pre August) 260ps(September onwards) check out Welcome to the SIDC :: The Subaru Impreza Drivers Club :: SIDC for their faq

 

Depends really as some 94`s are 260ps

 

In summary the A & B Series cars were rated at 240PS. The C (1&2) Series cars 260PS and the D Series cars onward 280PS. B & C Series 'Wagons produced 220PS and D Series onwards cars 240PS.

 

so if its on a M reg??? that sept onwards? where can i tell??

 

Is the car there now ?????

 

If it is.. on the passenger side inner wing there is an aluminium build-plate, which carries the short Japanese chassis number. The Applied Model Number will be embossed onto it. It will either read GC8B48D or GC8C48D.

GC8B48D or GC8C48D for 260bhp correct??? coz the B would relate to the 240...

 

Correct

 

260ps is 256bhp

 

Cheers she's a GC8C48D .... hehe 258bhp. nice!

what's the best mod for these? it;s got a 3" pipe - not sure if its already decated i'll check but any good bhp mods? cheers

 

Decat (if not already) personally i would change the brakes first (if you don't already have uprated calipers) as the 2 pots are ****

 

will the decat affect the boost? i'm already getting a red light on my boost gauge when first hitting full boost it reads just over 1 bar then drop back to 0.8 or .9 . only does it for a second

 

It does allow quicker spool up.Is it hitting higher boost in the cold weather or has it done all the time?

 

Z4 ecu aswell my friend, theres a spare slot for a chip...it also removes the the 112mph limiter....you could get a dawes device and have it set up to 1 bar of boost as the limits 1.2 bar.

Heres a link to the chip for her:
