right guys not sure what my next move is. ive just got a greedy boost controller fitted and im wanting to know what the next mod for me is, current list is as follows

full exhaust system
induction kit
ecutek
electronic boost controller (1.2 bar)

 

It's gotta be a front-mounted intercooler, as that 1.2bar of boost will need some cooling to make it worthwhile!

OJR.

 

dont wana do front mount wana keep as origional on the outside as possible. top mount aftermarkets intercoolers any gd.

 

Change the turbo then remap it again. Should see well over 300/300.

 

Bigger turbo e.g. VF35, remap with the boost controller set to about 1.35 bar would see a safe 320ish

Upgraded TMICs not generally worth it, only exception for sensible money is the STi 8 one, which is very good, but by the time you've paid for the custom fabrication to make it fit, and associated undertray, bigger bonnet scoop etc.. you may as well get an FMIC like the hybrid! How much do you want to keep things looking stock?

I went to an FMIC on my MY99, wouldn't go back to a TMIC.

dont wana do any cutting at all. its a nice clean rb5 and when time comes to sell il be taking everything out. so big turbo then guys. what is the standard intercooler gd up to.

 

Not a BIG Turbo!! Just bigger than the TD04

The std intercooler will be just about adequate at around what a VF35 can produce, but will struggle on hot days and after being stationary for any length of time.

Have a look at what I did to my MY99 (no cutting necessary at this stage)

Car will feel good at this level, but it may pay to get an ACT gauge to keep an eye on those temps.

Hi mate, i changed my turbo for a vf34, replaced the injectors for pink 550, walbro 255, full exhaust with both cats removed, Sti8 top mount and a ECUTEC remap to my 01 wrx and running 324bhp, just bought a greddy profec boost controller now, just wondered how hard to fit if done urself, any pics?

 

mapped a car on my00 tmic and vf28 today.. went very nicely.. road dyno showed 313bhp @ 1.3bar

no didnt fit it my self sorry.

the guy who would do all my stuff did a gd job fits nicly were the ashtray used to be. jolly green what power did it have at the wheels. as when i got my car rr before the boost controller and induction kit. it showed

287bhp at the flywheel
192bhp at the wheels.

was pretty shocked at how much power was lost, im just hoping they put the wrong calculation fig in to get flywheel power.

plus my mate has a leon cupra r and i still cant break free from him on a rolling start.

 

254.. I used 23% trans loss

Simon

 

254..... What torque has that got.

 

Sounds good. Can you elaborate on what mods the car had?

 

mines kicking out 264bhp, vf34, front mount, indction kit, decat, oilcooler and autronics ecu :d (think thats it that i've done to the engine lol)

but i have also blown up a gearbox lol although think that was more wear and tear

 

is that 264 at the wheels tidgy, or at the fly, if at the fly that sound pretty light

 

ATW mate!

 

was reading ur post there 'scooby 04' and i must say its a gd read, how much u spend in total then. ud def recomend the vf35

 

Can't honestly remember, assuming you're starting from scratch, buying all the parts new and not doing any of the work yourself, I'd figure on around 2-2.5k. But you've got quite a few of the bits fitted already, so significantly cheaper for you!

VF35 is the best spooling turbo for circa 320-330bhp and can be had much cheaper than a VF34.

Have a word with David at APi for advice

 

hehe, sorry was waiting for someone to question it :d

yep its at the wheels mat

its 341.something at the fly

when i had it done i wnet from 260 at the fly to 260 at the wheels lol

 

My VF35 did 320 at the wheels

 

decat and vf28 and panel filter and ecutek remap. Was on uk tmic

will have to check and get back to you regarding lb torque as graph is on my laptop

Simon

 

vf34 is much nicer turbo than 28

 

have to agree, the punch when the turbo comes in is awesome, and also pulls right through to near red line (dont ever take it to red line when i drive it hard so might even pull to red line lol)
