basically i want 300bhp out of my WRX MY01 bugeye
will all this do it
Afterburner Vortex Backbox
K&N Induction Kit
DV10 Dump Valve
Boost Controller
Bleed Valve
Fuel Cut Defender
Decat Centre Pipe
Bigger Scoop
Close Ratio Gearbox
ecutek remap
Decat downpipe
Jr Panel Filter
How is that will i get around 300bhp?
Thanks
Jon

Brun

No.
No need for the dumpvalve, or bleed valve or boost control among other stuff. Two filters?
No expert but i'd be looking at -
Full decat, up pipe, panel or induction filter(either), fuel pump, injectors, TD05 turbo, samco hoses and a TEK3. Probably 300 - 320 there.
The TD04 you have at the moment may run out of puff before you hit 300

My recipe would be:

Full de-cat single box system (your choice depending on volume and style)
TD05FE
uprated fuel pump and regulator
STi panel filter
Remap (Bob Rawle for example)

That should see you around the 300bhp mark.

From your list I would forget the following:

K&N Induction Kit - too much heat soak
DV10 Dump Valve - no advantage
Bleed Valve - doesn't offer enough boost control
Fuel Cut Defender - can be done as part of your remap
Bigger Scoop - nah, just looks silly
Close Ratio Gearbox - won't do anything for power, although maybe consider a 6 speed if you're going for more than 350ft/lbs

Consider the following:

Bigger injectors
Ported and wrapped headers and up-pipe
Front mount intercooler

Then you'd be in 330bhp territory safely.

Jon Boy

where could i get the turbo and the uprated fuel pump and regulator from?
Plus where can i get 6 speed gearbox from?
Thanks Jon

Jon Boy

what about a SBR GT10 turbo?
FSE Uprated fuel pump
650cc injectors
De cat centre
De cat up pipe
STI Panel filter
????????????

Brun

No down pipe? Hoses?

Jon Boy

HOSES?
will i need a downpipe 2 or shall i get one of them instead of a up pipe?

Neilo

Both!!

Im doing this next month (going over 300 that is) but mines an 03, but the principles the same.

You will need a better turbo, up and downpipes, fuel pump and reg, knocklink and ideally better intercooling. Hoses are a good idea but im not 100% sure if they are essential. Oh and a tek3 of course

I have full samcos :P so im ok

Neil.

Brun

Dunno what the bugs and blobs are like but it's a known fact that the intercooler hoses on the classic suffer when you increase the boost

Jon Boy

TEK 3 Wat?

Brun

Custom Ecutek remap

NotoriousREV

I'm running 15.5 psi on a 100,000 mile classic on original 10 year old hoses and don't have a problem

Brun

StickyMicky

you can probably get around 280/290 on the standerd turbo and save a bit of cash if your skint

fuz

299 BHP is the most i've seen on a td04 but that was with a huge top mount

i settled for 326/314 on MY01 wrx

SBR-GT10 is a very nice looking turbo, I have something similar in a -11 cartridge with a larger compressor wheel and cover, and it does about 450 BHP on Optimax, the GT10 is supposed to be 400 BHP. But to me the spool up is only acceptable on this size of turbo on a 2.5 for fun road use. The GT10 will be a bit better, but could really do with a short geared engine that revs to 8000 RPM with bottom end and valvetrain/cams to suit from my guess at how it will deliver power compared to my slightly larger version.

I daresay if you fitted this and just remapped you would easily get 300 BHP, but it would be laggy especially without breathing mods.

The more elegant method is to keep the TD04, accept that you will probably get 280-290 BHP and free up the breathing. You'll have an unstressed gearbox friendly car that has been quite cheap to mod.

Well, being as we are on the subject then, what would i get from this if i uprated the injectors next and then had another remap:
MY03 WRX, uprated fuel pump, decat up pipe, sportscat downpipe, decat centre, sports backbox. TMIC is standard WRX one, Turbo is standard so i assume TD04.
I would have thought for me to break 300 bhp i would need both turbo and injectors?
Currently my car is 270 bhp and 265 ib/ft, this was from rolling road test.

Same here what would you expect my bhp with these mods: MY02 WRX

Full Decat with tek3 remap by TSL with up rated fuel pump.
STI VF35 turbo
STI8 TMIC
STI injectors
K+N induction kit
turbo smart DV
STI8 bonett scoop
Lightend flywheel

oh and mapped again by pat
cheers chrissy

Ninnybobs

MaDaSS,

You don't need to uprate your injectors to break the 300bhp barrier, but you will need to uprate your turbo (Possibly TD05FE). IMHO

RB5SCOTT

My 299bhp/292lb/ft was not on a big top mount

basically i had

APS induction kit
Full de-cat
tek 3
fuel pump

MaDaSS

Thanks for that info. I don't know what to think! LOL.
So, do I or don't I? haha.
Tbh, even what i have spent so far, it is all a lot of money for little gains here and there, but ffs, it is so addictive innit?
I need it! More! More!

GRIFF007

...cue music...........

well slightly different

How about a Blob STi

How far can we go reliably without increasing lag more than improved PPP mapped lag - base car will be std STi, -- 05 import considered if engine any better

Would love around genuine 350 lb ft with sensible cost upgrades - ie if 340lb ft cost £800 and 355lb ft costs £3000 - I will get buy with 340....

I am surprised you have put WRX at over 300 - how far will STi go reliably for under £2k mods - I appreciate TSL T333 is an option - althogh I have heard a few reportts at it not being quicker than PPP and someone tested one apparently at c 300 bhp...

Is a 350 x 350 practical anybody?

Ninnybobs

MaDaSS,

Your right, it is addictive.

Currently in Phase 4 of the mods on the MY01 WRX. Now running over 350bhp

PM me for more info

Martin

Jon Boy

when u all say breathing you mean decat right? or bigger intercooler and panel filter?
Thanks
Jon

Neilo

all of what youve just said i think. Anything that affects the aitflow both in, and out.

StickyMicky

didnt "sub type r" get 300 and about 290lbft torque??
that was from memory a standerd sti 4 with a full decat and a filter and stuff, correct me if im wrong

JWS

?will the internals on the wrx stand 300+bhp?

Ninnybobs

JWS,

Been over 350bhp for the last 15k miles and 300+ bhp for 30k miles.

Currently 50k miles on engine. No problems so far (Frantically looking for some wood to touch)

Cheers

Martin

can only comment on WRX bugeyes

I run a Bugeye MY02 at 300 plus BHP as a daily driver,

not only that I actually get to own it in 2007 so I have followed the trends to try and get a reliable motor (thanks to Ninnybobs, Harvey, John Banks, Andy F and.............Bob Rawle's gold dust)

Here is my recipe for 300 plus bugeye

TD05 front entry conversion turbo
STi 8 tercooler
Samco Silicon hoses
Sti Pink Injectors
FSE fuel pump
FSE fuel pump regulator
3 port boost solenoid
EcuTeK 3 Custom re-map by BRD (Bob Rawle) 1.38 bar max
Ported and wrapped OEM headers
NGK PFR7b plugs
full de-cat
K & N filter

extra 10 BHP for a pink badge !!

Does this help??
