Whats the best way to get my 1994 wrx(260ps) runing 300bhp safely?
At the moment i has a aftermarket exhaust fitted and i baileys dump valve.I know its best for me to get it RR first,which i will do asap.

Could you guys please list what i will need with prices also?

Thanks for any help.

 

Or is there a good company i could just give them my car and they will do all the work needed for a decent price to get 300+ bhp?

 

Where you based mate ? There are lots of specialist about who would be able to achieve that sort of power.

 

I live in west sussex but im not fussed if i have to travel as long as the work is good quality.Do you what sort of price it would cost me?

 

FMIC (£350), De-cat (£100), Polar Performance chip (£200) & a Dawes device (£50). Fit it all then get it set up on a rolling road. Mine made 303bhp and 290 ft/lbs @1.1 bar (1995 WRX). You could go down the aftermarket ECU route, but is it worth it on a 15/16 year old car?

 

I have done a search but couldnt really find a anwser,I have been told on here that i cant get my z4 ecu remapped but i can get one of these so it can be mapped.Enduring Solutions Limited

Please list what other parts i would need?

Ie.Fuel pump £100
De-cat £200 ect

 

Thanks for that.What is a dawes device tho?
Is there much diffence with fitting a fmic over a sti one?

 

Dawes device?

 

think its a bleed valve so you can run higher boost, not 100% sure but someone will say if i'm wrong.

 

Dawes Device Fitment

 

Type of bleed valve. If set up properly is safe (with the PP chip as it raises boost cut). STI intercooler is better that the slanty rubbish that Subaru fitted to WRX as standard but is still supplied by the scoop on the bonnet. Apparantly at speed the air actual flows over the scoop rather than into it so starving the intercooler of cold air. This doesn't happen with a FMIC.

ESL is a re-mappable chip that sits in the ECU. A good product for the money £550 + Vat including map. I decided against this as my engine/gearbox was too old and had done too many miles to take much above the 300bhp I was aiming for.

If (when ) I want more power, it will be forged engine time and 6-speed box probably using a simtek ecu (mega bucks time!!)

Just seen your other thread. Triton set mine up too!!

 

How many miles had your engine and gearbox done as you decided against it?

 

110,000 miles. I've heard of standard engines letting go at 30,000 miles, but others have gone on to over 200,000 miles. Same with gearboxes. Thought I'd play it safe while I saved up some pennies to do the lot properly.
