hi there im looking for some info on tunning a bugeye wrx subaru .
.

gearbox on the bug eye ?
will they take over 300bhp

do you know anything about turbos iv been told a vf34 and 500cc injectors will get me 340bhp

not sure the way to go -

other option is just to go for 290 bhp with the original td04 turbo ad injectors +
sti intercooler + full exhaust + k and n air filter. ANDY FORREST REMAP

Although on 03 WRX i have just had this done, and this should be 330-340 for both power and torque, although that is not yet confirmed by rolling road.

As for gearbox, i never launch, nor am i harsh on gear changes so gearbox should be fine. That really does depend on how you treat it TBH.

Cost is expensive, so it all depends on what you want to spend. I bought all new parts so that made it dear for me in that sense, but i am keeping this car for a long while so i wanted new parts.

Also, my car is still on the OE TMIC, so it will be interesting to see what effect this has on the figures when i get to the rolling road one day soon.

Good luck with your choice and enjoy!

its not the bhp that kills the boxes its the torque and how you ram the gears in 330lbs and above is generally a red area but even then it depends how you drive your car

more info please.

will the extra power kill the box thats the question .

im not wanting to do massive launch from the line just fast and drivability is a must .

Put it this way: if you couldn't afford to replace the gearbox should it break, then I wouldn't do it.

A sympathetically mapped car, driven sensibly will likely be fine at the levels you're looking at, but no-one will be able to promise you it won't break; sometimes gearboxes let go at std power.

that dont help me .

if we all thought like that we wouldnt start our cars up in case of major engine failure .

all i want to know is can the wrx gearbox take over 300bhp just in general
if i was thinking of taking it to a drag strip i would think it would blow without fail
but i only want to use the car on the road with no silly starts .

i dont want the lottery numbers just a bit of info .


cheers in advance .

Jees, why dont you ask how long is a piece of string?
How can we answer if YOUR box is gonna blow or not?
I am running 330-340 ish bhp and a few others are running upto and over 380 to 400 bhp on standard boxes.
That is all we can say.
Its your choice. End of!
