that sould see you there mate, you can ditch the fpr and the boost controller as they are not required. you need to be looking for a harvey 18g or a vf48 turbo wise. you will need to convert to front entry setup as well so you will need im spacers and a new intake plus a later spec power steering pump to make it all work

Monies for new engine and gearbox.
Better brakes.
Handling upgrades may be worth looking at so you can actually get thge power to the road when you want/need it.

Newage engines should be fine with 350 although I can't confirm that for a classic.
Gearbox and clutch may struggle if you drive it hard, and will probably shred themselves if you do full bore launches down a drag strip!

I agree with the sensible point made about brakes and handling mods (which would include tyres too!).
If the car's old, the engine and gearbox may have had a harder life, so yes you should allow for rebuild costs.

I'm about to do mine, and have a set of K Sports waiting to go on the front, an STI TMIC, VF35 and STI pinks. Whilst I could probably look to make between 340-350 with these mods, I'm going to ask JGM to rein it in to around 320 purely so my gearbox doesn't get shredded.

I'd rather retain a drivable car than something I'm having to replace the gearbox on every 6 months, but mine's a daily driver and yours may not be!

Ye thats very true 320 seems more sensible rather than having to replace bits after a short time, im only the 3rd owner previous owner had a skyline and only bought the scooby while his skyline was getting work done on it, the engine and gearbox both seem very strong.

What is the standard bhp on these cars? Will you feel a big difference in power?

I will also be looking into the handling side of it aswell, no point having the power and not being able to controll it.

to the op, i wouldnt go too far on your 16 year old engine if i were you, stick to low 300's or make sure you have some more cash for a rebuild when it goes pop, the rods and pistons in your block are ****e

Don't know about the classic WRX's but the newage cars are between 215-220bhp in standard form.
And in regards to "will you feel a big difference in power" - the answer is yes, as long as you go for the right mods .

With a modified STI up pipe, Prodrive sports cat and decat centre, into a 3" cat-back system, and a green panel filter, my car made 281bhp and the difference is easily obvious, but add a bigger turbo (and usual accompanying mods) into the mix and I suspect it will be even more marked.
If you want to retain the slightly earlier spool up characteristics of the smaller standard WRX turbo you can also consider having your OE headers ported and wrapped, and you can have the turbo wastegate ported if it's a VF to prevent boost surge (which apparently the VF35's in particular suffer from).

Power wise depends on what you have, a MY95 saloon is 260ps or 257bhp on super unleaded fuel, a wagon or 5 door is 220ps or 218bhp on super unleaded, they run different turbochargers too!.
I would personally look at your brakes and suspension first before upping the power, your brakes wont stop a shopping trolley and early subaru suspension isnt great (plus its probably tired), so start there.
Power wise, start pushing over 300bhp and you need to really go front mount, this on its own is a pain as you then need an induction kit, remap etc, plus your gearbox will break if you fart near it, its not very strong, neither is the engine so take note!
320bhp will be sufficient, 350 is pushing it for reliability and engine/gearbox rebuilds are not cheap
Also only use super unleaded unless you want to blow holes in your pistons

Just to confirm - 320 will feel bonkers fast compared to 260.....at first.

for that level of power your best of finding a tuner who does a package, will mean mods are all done at same time and will be done preoperly.

for 320-340 i;d be lookign at the following

Simtek (unless your wanting to go big build then syvecs)
full decat
walbrough 255
front mount
induction kit
SC36
440 or 550 injectors

will pretty much max out the gearbox and internals at that spec. you also may wanna see about a set of gauges to keep an eye on oil temps/pressure, having some sort of read out for the nock detection from the ecu plus other mods as mentioned, brakes suspension etc.
