hi everyone, im new to the site and new to impreza turbos, like nothing. mines a 1997 uk turbo finkits a v4, when the grill changed. i was wondering how to increase the hp of my car from the 215hp standard to the wrx or sti figures with out breaking the bank too much. at the moment its had a full services, a decat centre section n race back box, induction kit and a baileys dump valve which i have noticed wen on a motorway i fink the dump valve releases as i hold the accelerator steady around 70 - 80?!? would add picture but dont no how?? if ne one can help me i would appreciate it! thanks, chris

Hi mate do you know if the car has been remapped to suit the mods ?? As this would be a must.

usually safe and steady to start with. ecu upgrade, prob apexi best to start with with decat downppipe, fmic and 440cc injectors. you'll find lots of people with good second hand parts in the for sale section tht will post. bear in mind with a flat four to keep an eye on oil pressure and condition of oil pump or you'l have an expensive rebuild like i'm havin. roger clark oil pump defo reccomended

after full decat, ecu upgrade, fuel pump, oil pump, injectors wat sort of hp would i b looking at? and how much of it could i do myself? im reasonably good with the old spanners!?! lol

dependin on turbo which i know was vf23 on ver 4 sti am not sure what you have but i'd say just under the 300 mark dep on turbo and the boost its setup on at time of mappin. but think how far u wanna go as if you'l be lookin at goin further get 550cc injectors. second hand vf34's aint too expensive

turbo200chris

to be honest i wana stay just under the 300hp mark, id be happy with 260 to 300hp, so what would i need to get to that? the parts i would need?

Hi mate, de-cat downpipe and an uprated fuel pump added to the mods you have already got, then a re-map and you should get close to the lower end of the figures your after I would imagine.

Open a photobucket or similar account to get your pics up

yeah cheers, oh, do i need a different maf sensor wen i get a remap so they can increase the boost a little bit more? as the stocks only on 1.1 isnt it?

You mean the MAP sensor.

But no, you won't need the later MAP sensor at those levels...If your after between 260 and 300 then a full decat/system/Walbro/std 380cc injectors - mapped at 1.1bar - should give you bang in the middle at c.280bhp, give or take!

oh ok, thank you very much, well appreciated!!!
