finally had the car back from the paint shop, had side skirts colour coded and front bumper resprayed, then had 60000 ml service and rear discs and pads from godpeed fitted along with brake and clutch fluid.. next its the dent man and a detail.
as i said in a previous thread its a 2002 wrx with sti turbo, sti intercooler, with full turbo back 3inch exhaust turbosmart boost controler and bailey d valve its running 267 bhp @ 6290rpm dynoed at well lane turbo centre but tbh it doesnt feel that quick so im after a remap, can u tell me who to use and where and any prices please also what i can expect increase thanks again tyrone

 

Hi - have you uprated the fuel pump and injectors as I would recommend you do, sti pink injectors and a Walbro pump (or similar).

Bob Rawle I can vouch as I have had mine mapped by him.

 

hi mate, tbh i havnt done any of the engine mods they were already done when i bought it, would bob do the mods u recommend and if so do u have any idea of price including the map also where does he work from? thanks ty

 

Hi Mate, Bob works from Swindon. it's a short distance and a great drive home !!, there was a group buy running on here, have a peek at the threads in that, I did all my mods before I went up to him, I can give you his email address if you want him to do it OR get some advice, by letting him know what you are looking for, with the Mods you have now.

There are others, Jolly Green Monster and Andy Forrest - all great names in the tuning business I think Bob will charge about £600 initially, you pay less if you have an Ecutek licence, ie if your car's been mapped before and any future tweek is around £300. The group buy was good value at around £450 - but I think it's all done now.

Cannon Fodder is your Man to speak, to re Bob

Si.

You definitley want to be looking at changing the injectors and fuel pump, also you might have a cat in your exhaust up pipe which if removed would free up some more power.

I dare say that Bob could change these parts for you but he maps the cars, you would be better off finding a local specialist / enthusiast who could change these for you just prior to a mapping session.

I have used Bob twice myself and very shortly for a third map so I know how good he is and how he can transform your car.

Also you might want to think about junking the boost controller you have fitted and fit a Subaru 3 port boost solenoid, as when the car is mapped there will be no real need for the boost controller you have fitted. ( I believe anyway)

And there are far too many Ty's on here for my liking now.

 

P.S. I'm back to him for a tweek soon too Oh and have you an Induction kit - or good quality panel filter ??

 

It all depends on what you use the car and how much you have. I would recommend changing the fuel pump for a walbro 255L pump. If it one thing you don't need is the lack of fuel getting to your engine. If your not going for big power then a good panel filter will do. And I would definitely get it remapped thats where you'll see a huge difference in your car. I had mine mapped by A Forrest and would recommend him. But, you wont go wrong with any of the three mentioned above.

 

Can I throw a spanner in the works here?

The standard pump is perfectly good for 400ish bhp. The welbro 255 pump performed poorly in the latest version of Total Impreza. Far worse than a STANDARD pump.

I personally would save the moneyyou would have paid for the pump and put it towards either injectors, parrallel fuel rails or re-map. But this is my personal opinion.

In case your wondering it in the JUL/AUG issue on page 50.

hi mate yes i forgot to mention it has a blitz induction kit fitted.
im not after massive power gains but i would love to get around the 300 mark.
and im more interested in it being quick rather than top speed if that makes any sense like the jap sti ra i used to own thanks again for everyones replies

 

A tidy spanner that Velly interesting I got hold of a Spec C fuel pump, not sure if that differs from a std WRX/Sti one

 

Get the best pump for the job and new injectors and you should be around 300 with a Map....

 

The Spec C one is similar flow to the Walbro!

I had a Walbro on my UK Turbo because I was getting bad fuel cut with the OEM one. Maybe the JDM WRX/STi are slightly better flow but couldn't fault upgrading in my MY00 and my current STi. Unfortunately, I'm at the limit of the 255lph Walbro in mine at 'only' 475bhp

 

PS I've still got my STi pump if you want it for some beer tokens

 

If you do chose Bob,then i can also highly rate him.

I had my bugeye 01 sportwagon mapped for its first time back in June with him.
And with only a k&n panel filter, a turbo back 3" exhaust system with sportcat and a walbro 255 fuel pump it made 285 bhp and 293 lb /ft of torque which satisfies my power thirst.



For now anyway !

 

I don't know if the OP has a newage or classic if your pump Merv is off a classic it won't fit without altering the wiring if it is being fitted to a newage.

 

There you go Ty Mine's off my MY05 STi

 

just been on e.ay and seen pink injectors £150 and walbro 225 £60 are these about the price expected?

 

[quote=s450oby;9497250]just been on e.ay and seen pink injectors £150 and walbro 225 £60 are these about the price expected?[/quote

Yeah not a bad price Mate - I paid 150 for my pinks and pump price looks a goodun

 

Sorry Merv when read your post I read it as being off your UK classic turbo.

 

I'll have a set of injectors off my STi Spec C up for sale in September if the OP is interested.

 

I believe the article in Total Impreza is a little misleading, as the standard Subaru pump which was tested was the latest 08 version. Which has been greatly improved compared to the ones used in the earlier classic & newage Subaru's. So a Walbro pump is a worth while mod on a Bugeye.

I wouldn't quote anything from Total Impreza as the quality of reporting is clearly rubbish!

 

Looking at the results I would much prefer running the 300lph pump over the 255lph.

 

Check these out on ebay, 345LPH apparently. Heres the item number 160327894462

 

get in touch with these guys http://www.fuelsystem.co.uk/ they supply wallbro, they are very helpfull over the phone, tell em what you want and they will sort you out.

 

I've a bosch 044 one in mine, rated to over 300LPH

think they are around £180-200 though

 

hi guys just realised what op means (duuh) sorry.. yes id be interested in the injectors in september and how many beer tokens for the pump? im coming to the august meet if ur there!

 

Ignore this Total Impreza article as it has found out to be a load of old bullocks, they failed to mention that the factory fuel pump tested was from a 2009 STi and not a classic or newage.

 

My Bug Wagon ran similar figures to Muttley. But a word of caution 300BHP on a standard gearbox and clutch is quite close to the limits.

Some say it's fine but more have had to go down the uprated clutch route. Somemore food for thought.

Also consider a JDM STi Bugeye fuel pump, better spec than a WRX/UK STi, ran fine in mine and people ditch them for Walbro's so should be cheap.
