What sort of horse power is the standard pump good for?

I am looking at getting upto around 270 Bhp and told I should have a new pump first. Is this over the top?

Im running 260bhp with no probs. I would think the standard pump would be good for around 300bhp though.

Need confirmation of this of course, im no expert.

 

Thanks Loon,

Should of mentioned it is an MY01

Tandy,
I am running 290-300bhp on a MY 02 with the standard fuel pump with no ill affect after 6 months.
Any future mods would require another pump I think.

Thanks Dean,

What mods you got on it?
I am looking for some ideas.

Hi Tandy,
Full De-cat and ecu-tek remap,mate.
I just wanted enough to give the new car the same grunt out of the bends etc to my old car (which was a 94 jap import WRX).
Alot will depend on how big your budget is for mods.The mods for my car cost £1,200-£1,300.Other people go for bigger BHP figures,but the above mods were ideal for me.
I used Xtreme scoobies in Boreham.Knowlesy and his team are very professional and friendly,and look after the customers (even after purchase!).
I hope this helps and I hope you enjoy the mod route that you choose.
Kind Regards
Dean

 

Thanks for the input Dean,

I assume you already had the cat back system or was that included in the price? it seems a good price!

After a decat do you have to put any electronics on to stop the dash board warning or do's the EcuTek take care of that?

I would like to keep my car legal and am considering something with a high flow cat, anybody got one of these?

Thanks again

Tandy

 

Tandy,
Yes,the car already had a Hayward and Scott mid section and rear silencer on it when I purchased it.
The Ecu-tek takes care of any of the CEL light problem that is associated with a de-cat.
Go for the pipe where the EGT has been relocated,where it is slightly cooler!(If you go for a full de-cat that is.)
Cheers
Dean

 

The high flow cat in the Power Engineering centre section gets me through the MOT easily, its the only cat on the car, cat-less downpipe fitted. It does not absorb much power either.

Thanks Leslie,

I have been looking at their system.

APS sports cat system on my 02, plus decat up-pipe, ecutek etc >280bhp both times its been on the rollers, still running standard fuel pump.
