ive got a my95 jdm wrx and want more power!!!!!i have a ninja sports cat,afterburner centre section,afterburner vortex and 57i kit.had it rolling roaded at scoobyclinic today and it reached 260 bhp and 240 torque.what should be my next moves for more power?

 

if you want a small increase, say 20-30 bhp, get your car remapped.

or if you have a bigger budget, add a bigger turbo and have it mapped...

 

what turbo would be best and what price should i expect to pay?

 

ooo, id say personally a td05-20g or a vf28. vf28 turbos can go second hand on here for about £300-350, plus a remap of about £7-750, but youll get over 300bhp with the right mapper safely. i think the import wagons of your age only came with a piddily small td04 turbo, so not much lag on them.

depends how high you wanna go, but the higher you do, the more weiry you have to be about supporting mods, ie upgrading oil/fuel pumps, internals after certain powers.

thats all above my head, but is assume on a wrx, 300-330 on standard internals shouldnt pose a problem. hopefully someone else on here can be more definitive, so dont take my advice as gospel.

welcome to scoobynet, also referred to as "the wallet drainer"

 

mine is the saloon so i guess thats a td05?what about a change of intercooler?i was told the standard early ones are rubbish?

 

theyre not fantastic, but unless your going for serious power (say 330+), i wouldnt bother. you could alays go for an sti top mount intercooler. slightly bigger, better air flow. front mounts ive heard can cause more turbo lag, but again, that isnt gospel. but if your looking into a remap along with supporting mods, id have thought this could be sorted with a reputable mapper...

 

thanks for your advice mate

 

no worries dude. dont know masses of info, but help where i can. im personally gonna get my my99 uk turbo to about 270-280 with a remap eventually. have a full blitz decat and decat downpipe, so probably hitting around 240bhp now.

 

sounds good.who will be doing your remap?scoobyclinic have quoted me £550+vat.

 

does that include rolling road time??? thats another £75 p/h i think.

im not sure fella re. who will do my remap. theres plenty of candidates...

bob rawle
andy forrest
pat hepburn
steve simpson
jolly green monster

list goes on....

but i need my gearbox sorting out first (probable rebuild), and then maybe my noisy tappets. you'll learn from your stay here, my cars generally cursed, or its maybe just me

 

Improving the brakes may be a better first step.
Remap for an early wrx requires this Enduring Solutions Limited which scoobyclinic deal with.

 

will it be cheaper for me to by the daughter board and have it mapped or let the clinic sort it mate?

 

may as well let scoobyclininc do the whole thing for you as i doubt it would work out cheaper.

 

you can add another 100BHP with the TD-05 turbo you have. But to get there you will have to upgrade everything else

What you upgrade next will depend on a large extent to where you want to end up power wise.

I advise you to speak to a reputable subaru mapping expert (plenty on here). They will advise you what parts are needed to achieve your desired BHP and drivability factors.

You are some way from requiring a new turbo at 260BHP.

 

hoping for 300bhp.so ill need injectors,reg,pump and remap to get there?

 

how much are td05 turbo's?
