Default what bhp figures can i expect

ok people in need of some figures help,
i have a subaru my95 wrx jdm import ill put a quick list of the spec up

good strong engine
simtek ecu
vf35 turbo
stainless steel headers
uprated injectors
uprated fuel pump
turbo back (no cats) 3" hks exhaust
viper induction kit
might be puttin alloy pullys on the alternator belt ect but doubt this will help with bhp,
front mounted blitz intercooler
newer gearbox and diff as had problems with these and people say new gearbox and diff would be stronger.

About 330bhp, but I would really look at the brakes before modifying for power, a ford ka can stop better

Is the induction kit inside the engine bay,if its in the engine bay opt for an AEM cold air that goes between the wing and inner wing that should add some BHP with PFRB 7 plugs, then go see A.Forrest he should be able to map around what your aiming for.

be lucky to see 350 from a vf35. if those are the figures you want. scrap it and get an td05 18g

330/315 is about what you will be hitting imo. I only made 311 with my vf35 but made 361 with td05 18g

Trust me when I say that wont be enough, these brakes are smaller than the ones you get on a ford focus 1.6, and you want to stop 350bhp with them? you need to either go for the 4 pots and uprated discs (forget that ebc crap as well) or a decent 1k's worth of stoppers or else you will be hedge hopping (well climbing out of the car after its rolled several times because you couldnt stop )
Put it this way, I replaced the 4 pots on my first (brand new) scoob back in 2000 as the brakes were not as good as the car I had previously owned (a mere 215bhp and they stopped better than the 2 pots ever could), anyone on here will advice you to replace the crappy 2 pots with either of my recommendations

Brakes first!!

I got 350BHP with 349 TORQUE on my05 sti type u/k with a vf35 fitted as standard with quite a few of the same mods,but i do agree that a td05 18g or td05 20g will safely get him there, he could get it mapped with vpower and nf octane boost but at the end of the day it's all about how much money you can afford

I wouldnt want to run an 18 or a 20 on that car, probably put a piston through the block or eat the gearbox tbh, a vf35 is probably the best suited turbo for it without straining those wonderful internals they have

ok the induction kit does have a direct cold air feed coming from the front bumper directly to the induction kit.as for breaks ill prob go for brembo sti brakes with uprated discs and pads will that be a good idea. as for turbo 18g and 20g what are the chances of it causeing engine problems on my car as it is a 95 not a new age scooby, the car has been services well throught its life and looked after but i would not want to put a 18g or 20g on there for it to send a piston throught the block as i first stated i wanted to run a safe 350-350+ bhp also i live in milton keynes and for the people that have been here will no its roundabout after roundabout and i no my mate had a td05 20g on his sti and had problems with lag on the it..

Sorry when you said "a strong engine" i thought uprated internals. Scrap the TD05 18g idea. you dont want to be pushing more than 330/300 on that set up as you will be on borrowed time. i thought my engine would be fine at 361/322 and it did a bottom end bearing(newage)

Sort out brakes for def. you can get some monster brakes for 1k. even newage brembos front and rear.

Pedsti you made that bhp as yours is an sti with the avcr heads on it the wrx heads restrict you more

anyway a vf35 is way big enough for your aims now mate

scrap the induction kit as its a stupid mod on subarus,you'll need a new maf in a few months,i have a ver8 sti with a full decat and a remap and im expecting 325hp

a wouldnt go above 320hp in a wrx,i would upgrade the clutch aswell if i where you,get a decat up pipe aswell,the drilled and groved discs aint stopping you much quicker,brembo 4 pots have stopped me spinning out on several occations

my mate has a 1993 wrx wagon with,td05 turbo,front mount,mushroom induction kit,full decat and blowoff valve and he's got 265hp

pullies dont give any power,my old wagon had them and the lightweight flywheel and i never noticed anything,just a hole in my wallet

a tdo5 out of an sti wont do any damage,just depends on how you look after your car

i say you'll have 320hp

Just do the fronts. Rears don't contribute much on a road car anyway.

AP or Brembos are a fine choice instead of the OEM 4-pot upgrade.

Or there's the K-Sport kit - brand new, about a grand all in (+ fitting).

the later brembos are good brakes,your probably better off spending the same money on the AP racing brakes or K-sport 8-pots as you'll get them brand new with warranty for roughly the same price

i would just upgrade the front brake and brake hoses and dot 5.1 fluid as its mostly the front brakes that are in use,the drilled and groved discs do look good tho so it could decorate your rear end,be carefull as some performance pads leave loads of brake dust on your alloys,good excuse to clean them every day lol

Well they fit tightly behind those 17's (take it you have 17's??) and they do stop the car pretty well (though I prefer the AP's as they are the best on the market )

He's running a frontmount so needs a IK, and Simtek is mafless anyway. I would leave the standard TD05 on, depending on which RR I use mine makes anywere between 310 and 340 brake with around 300 pounds of torque at 1.2 bar of boost.

Been like that for 2 years and was running 1.4 bar before that for a couple of years with no issues.
