What would i expect from induction kit, exhaust fuel pump remap?? had a 400/400 EVO 8 which I sold last year, but now lookinbg at a scooby, any advice welcome.

I've been told that generally you can push them to about 400bhp on standard internals but it wouldn't be advisable to go much higher to achieve this you'll need few more goodies that what you've mentioned above.

From what you've listed for modifications various mappers seem to achieve anywhere from 315bhp-350bhp.

Not saying buy mine which is for sale but if your near Cambridgeshire area mine has all the bits you mention above and your welcome for a spin to see how it performs to give you an idea.

Subaru : WRX STI Type-UK 300+bhp 12months Tax / MOT

Cheers for the reply, really nice car you have there, but I live in Aberdeenshire bit far mate, do you need to change the turbo for 400bhp??

You will need to upgrade the turbo for 400bhp, plus injectors, fuel pump and a couple of other minor items, though on a nice note, always travel to see a nice car, you may be surprised at what you end up with!

Furthest I've travelled for a car is 390 miles. Although when selling my Supra someone from Hungry was flying over to view mine and a few others in the UK thats pretty far to come.

My mate is running 454bhp on his 03 sti with standard internals. Was mapped last jan at enginetuner.co.uk and is his daily drive. No problems what so ever and runs anti-lag, launch control on a 10% meth mix. You will still need a decent budget to make this power but it is doable on standard bottom end. Also check out jd5217. Slightly less power but only by a few hp and totaly standard internals. Call Martyn at enginetuner.co.uk on 01752 345 880 with your requirements!

so what would I need to get 400bhp?? Can anyone list whats all needed and price please, as I dont have a bloody clue about scoobys TBH But thanks to everyone thats posted.

cheers, heard of Andy Forest, but never been on his site, really asnswereda few queations!!
Just need to find a STI now!! Anyone no of a good one is scotland??

EAndy

I sometimes work in Dundee and Aberdeen and when I head that way from reference its about an 8 hour train trip to Aberdeen from me which is under £50 for 1 way. Actually up in Dundee soon working at Ninewells Hospital but i'll be in my work car not Scoob

If you do wish to view and the car is not sold let me know i'm happy to collect from train station / airport

taylor8

Shame you couldnt take it to Dundee. Yeah i'll have a think about it mate and get back to you

taylor8

Bit far for me mate, would probably use Wallce Performace in Aberdeen, Russell mapped my EVO and was very happoy with the results Or use Andy Forrest and would do all the fitting of parts myself

EAndy

Indeed, unfortunatly I transport 6ft high 350kg lasers and they don't fit inside my Impreza

taylor8

No problem, i'll keep you in mind though

Have a look at my spec in my profile, i am aiming for 400-430bhp with a 10% meth mix!

taylor8

nice car mate, should be quite 'Nippy' when you add that lot!!

Pete

Hi Taylor, so you too fancy the darkside, if your budget can stretch to it i,d go for a Spec C, great car fella, you,ll be amazed how good they are out of the box, they,ll make an Evo feel quit boring, REALLY..

Pete AKA Staffi...

taylor8

Hi Pete 'staffi'

No Spec C is out of budget mate, just bought the wife a Focus ST 2 and dont really want to spend more than 10K MAX!
Thought on goin for an EVO 6 or 7 but that would be a step back from my 8 so thought Id give the sti a shot!

Pete

You should get a nicISH car for that mate, DON,T rush in and panic buy so to speak, have a good mooch around and choose carefully and you,ll get yourself a good car.

After i sold my Forged 8 MR i bought that Spec C and it was just amazing, remember my MR had 470 bhp too, but the way the Spec C delivered the power and how i handled was superb.

I,ve now sold that cus it was monet just sat in the garage tbh and got myself a V3 STI running Motec etc and 330/331 and must says it,s probably one of the best cars i,ve had.. fun factor and just sheer rawness is awesome and it only weighs about the same as a bag of sugar..


Keep us posted mate..

taylor8

nice motor you have, looking at yur do I go for classic shape too!! Had a 200 turbo about 5 years ago and it was raw!!!
