Default bhp

Hey there many numbers for bhp for my car impreza sport 98, what is the standard bhp, also if I remaped it new exhaust + induction kit how much would just that put the bhp up 2 ? Also any other ideas that I can do to the engine without turbo it? Cheers

Your car will be running around 115bhp in its standard form, its not worth remapping as your gains will be minimal, an exhaust and panel filter will give you a few more bhp (like 5 or so) and dont even mention turbocharging that engine, you need to replace most of the car if you want to do that.

You have 3 options, supercharge said car (and you will need supporting modifications for that) or sell the car and either buy a turbo 2000/wrx or get a good hot hatch (which will probably cost less to insure and be more powerful than your sport).

Well ive got a pair of complete heads from an 04 wrx that defo bolt up to ur block and i have the inlet manifold from that car. Id take 200 for them but u will need new head gaskets and a timing belt kit for a newage car to make it work. Will make a massive difference tho. Pm me if ur interested

Yeahh I'm gonna run it how it is fo a while, think maybe a long term project if I do decide I want to keep it, ill look into it with more detail first though how much gain would you expect to get from just changing the heads nd inlet manifold ?

i wont go into figures because i just dont know tbh. It will be more than a turbo car with the boost turned off because of higher compression.
