Can somebody please help me and tell me what version my car is?
one minute its phase 2 then 1 i'm getting really confused.

heres a few pics





Thanks for your help

 

its one of the first impreza's, 1993 model wrx 240ps 4 door saloon

 

Thx bud,so basically i got the sh*t one bugger

 

there is no good one/ bad one, if you got a good one of this model its far better than a bad one of a different model

 

better turbo, better boost solenoid, worse brakes, worse intercooler..

swings and roundabouts.

 

Engine bay could be a 95wrx I Don't know anything about the chasis numbers.

 

Its a version 3 Impreza.

 

Its a Version 1 Impreza engine bay with a Version 1 Applied Model Number.

 

It most definately is NOT a version 3 Imprezza.
Ver 3 is not individual coil on plug.
Ver 3 turbo inlet is from the front under the inlet tract.

NIKAO : I can see why you are confused. There are PHASES and there are VERSIONS> (VER)

OK so phase 1 is M/Y 93-96. Your car is phase 1. It has a coil pack on each plug and air entry to the turbo is from the side and the turbo has a 90 deg bend on the front of the compressor cover.
Now phase 1 cars come in version 1 and version 2 ver1 M/Y 93-94 and ver 2 95 and 96.
Then we have phase 1.5 This is M/Y 97 and 98 Generally M/Y 97 is ver 3 and M/Y98 is ver 4. These cars have front entry turbos with air entry under the inlet manifold from the front and a single coil pack with four plug leads. Coil pack is located on the centre front of the inlet manifold just behind the alternator.
Then we have phase 2. M/Y99 is ver 5 and M/Y00 is ver 6. Very similar to the phase 1.5 but now the single coil pack is on the front of the manifold but off set to the passenge side.

I hope this helps you.

Definatly not a version 3. Only the versions 1+2 came with the slanty intercooler

 

Dont be like that, on the open road there will be no differance in the performance of the 240ps wrx and the 260ps wrx.
240ps is a lot of power for a car that only weighs 1270kg. Its all pub talk anyway!
Anyway you can soon cure the "lack" of power with a decat and a scoobyecu.
