grey seats indicate 260ps
260ps cars were from Sept 94
Check the ecu in the passenger footwell underneath a kick plate

240ps car applied model code is GC8B48D

260ps car applied model code is GC8C48D

Thanks guys i did think it was the 240 because it was built in august 94,but i have been told that the ones with black and grey seats and the ariel on the quarters are the 260bhp ones.

Thanks i will check that just to be sure.Is it hard to get them to 300bhp?

black and grey seats = 260
black and red seats = 240

you should have a ecu with z4 written on the top in big letters.

Decat and an increase in boost to 1.1 or 1.2 bar (fuel pump upgrade always good imo).

Get it to a rolling road before splashing out cash to see how healthy the car is as some of the sensors may not be in good condition and be detrimental to the power output

I have just checked the ecu and it has z4 writen on it dose that mean its the 240?

260ps

it shouldnt be hard to get to 300bhp especially if you only have to change the seats to get 20bhp more

Olly.Wrx

So its 100% 260ps as it has z4 writen on the ecu?

Sorry mate you have lost me?Im guessing you are talking about someone else comment?

myblackwrx

Yes,however if you run your car on a rolling rod it doesn't mean you will get 260ps simply because of the age of the car when i put 1 in my93 wrx i only got 244bhp

Olly.Wrx

Oh yea i know that,i dont expect mine to still be running the same power as it did new.I have got a exhuast fitted so i guess that will add a few more bhp.Thanks for all the advise im happy to find out its the 260ps.

when i put my 93 wrx on the rollers with a w6 ecu (240ps) i got 245bhp :-)

Can you re-map the z4 ecu? or will i need a new one once i start doing some mods?

I would do something with the brakes if your after 300bhp, they are crap even at 260ps

Oh yea dont worry i will,they seem abit crap now.

No but you can add this to it Enduring Solutions Limited which is a fully remappable solution.

They look good and at that price you cant argue,i was thinking if my ecu cant be mapped than its going to cost alot for a new one.

myblackwrx

That price doesn't include mapping though i think so the total cost would be about £500 (yes i know it's a lot but if you want a safe 300bhp then it is the cheapest way to go).

This guy maps all (or nearly all the ecus avaliable for imprezas) www.jollygreenmonster.co.uk
