Depends what are we talking sti or wrx

No chance on a standard set-up if its a wrx. If it has a td04 then that will max out at 280 and thats with supporting mods like a de-cat exhaust, fuel pump, panel filter, 3 port solenoid, de-cat up pipe and remap.

Basically, he's talking **** so walk away.

Tesco 99 and very close to det !, no honestly most get 280 on good pump fuel, its not imposs, but no mapper will say he is going to get a set BHP unless there is scope for error, so you will get 275 min, you cant say wat the max is within reason.

bang bang

its a wrx it has de cat and remap.......sed if i dont belive it we can go for dnyo and prove it so is it worth £30 for a dyno just so i can rip th ****??......really want it tho looks lush...thanx agen quick replys as allways

to add i dont know if thats 300 at the wheels or at the fly....hmmmmmm

Not a chance of a wrx making that power with that spec, 280 at the absolute most to be honest. It needs a bigger turbo at the very least to make that sort of power.

bang bang

ok but what would 300 be at the wheels like 280ish??

bang bang

ok he sed the engine has bein tuned by some 3 letter company (i forgot in like 2min lol) but he sed look ill show you a dyno print out of it makeing over 300 sed he has found old dyno sheet so......is it all a dyno wind up so i buy it or could he have a engine thats had more work then he knows?? and how would i know if it had a bigger turbo on it??......sorry new to this scooby lark....mite stick to my diesel as it seems to just get worse and worse finding a good scoody......it do sond nice tho lol

280bhp fly wheel power, probably around 210-220bhp wheel power.

There is someone on here who has got 300bhp out of td04. They posted the dyno up a few months ago and the mapper confirmed it.

Was it a hybrid?

Brun

No - stock TD04. IIRC there were plenty of supporting mods behind it to extract every last bhp out of it - there are a couple out there at this level on a TD04 but they are very much "special" cases.

How much is he asking for it?

bang bang

now this would be telling lol (not much change frome 6k)........well it seems to good to be true to be honest as you lot seem to be in the know ill take your word for it...........why is it so hard to just find a scooby and be done with it all i want is a good one well the hunt go's on (anyone selling one lol)......thanx agen

£6k for a wrx blob is too much now unless its really low mileage.

bang bang

60k........like i sed new to this whole scooby thing so dono what im looking at and all this te40 stuff is just numbers lol......just he sed he can prove 300bhp wjith a print out so fort id ask here seemed thing to do.....seems i better buyin a standered wrx and mapping it as it seems cheaper and ill save money i hope lol.....i know this is off topic but who would you use for remapping a wrx as it seems theres loads of people who do them but id like someone tried and tested......

Honestly mate, i'd go for an STI if you can over the WRX. The STI comes with stuff that are well over engineered for the STI's designed power. For example, the 6 speed box has taken over 700hp before, the 5 speed in the wpERX has trouble handling half that. The engine as standard will take 400-450bhp+ no probs (provided version 7-9). Tmic will also operate effeciently at higher power than WRX one. Many reasons to buy STI over WRX and with the prices as close as they've ever been, you'd be silly not to

bang bang

yer its ok getting a sti but what do i get i only really want max 300 anyway im going from a 1.9cdti so anything petrol feels like a rocket lol plus its only a weekend toy as i work 50 mile from home (100 mile a day) so cant run it as everyday car plus im not looking at 400+ bhp ever. ok it has a 6 speed box and some other toys but if im not going over 300bhp theres no need for a sti is there. plus as iv read on here the sti is only good if you going for big bhp as im not a wrx sti lookalike will be fine for me plus if i want big power ill just uprate everything but as iv had a diesel for 2years and only had diesels bhp is not real a thing in diesels lol......so a wrx ticks all the boxs in a way

My Sti might be up for sale in the very near future and you will have change from 6k!!! As already said the wrx is massively over priced mate.


Check my garage for spec and pics

It's entirely your decision at the end of the day but 90% of people who get these cars whether it be as a weekend toy or a daily runner, get bitten by the modding bug and look for more power. To buy and add the sti goodies to handle the power would be very expensive. The amount between the WRX and the STI isn't much in terms of initial costs to buy at the mo. Especially when you consider that to buy a 6 speed kit to put on a WRX will be £2k and thats not even including labour to fit. You get better brakes, better engine, interior. Clutch will even handle much more power than the WRX one.

It's your decision as i've said, but i feel you may regret starting out with a WRX further on down the line

bang bang

hmmmm yer but as its extra 2k for sti its money spend else were xmas and all...........pus i only want the noise not bovered about ragging around coners and all the rest as i have to pay for 2 cars but id like an sti but like i sed only need for over 300bhp 300 is more then enuff i think or i hope lol but you can get wrx for pennys and all sti are 5000+....and as for the bug eyes no no way cant have that on my drive. they dont look right but saying that modded and at right price ill buy one hint hint lol

Lol admittadly i'm not the bugeyes biggest fan. Having said that, with Morettes, they improve dramatically

bang bang

yer or prodrive lights lol just seems ever one out there is silly money or dirt cheap bt some chavs owned it and ragged **** off it ok all scoobys are regged but you know what i mean. or over 100k and my diesels only just done 120k and im a bit iff on it so a play thing with over 100k and older then my own car cant do it misses will slap me lol......just seems its swings and roundabouts with them

I've got a wrx. Last mapped b4 up n down pipe at 287bhp

well if you are considering that car we can assume you have a budget of £6K. You could get a blob sti for that money the way things are at the moment.
Trust you are bound to want more power once you have had it for a bit.

There's a 2003 JDM blob eye sti for sale in sales thread. Think he was asking £5725! Absolute bargain price for a JDM

Question to the OP.

do you know what a 300bhp Impreza feels/drives like? You keep saying you "only" want 300bhp, but how do you know?

I went from a 200bhp Mazda to a 300+ bhp Impreza and I was completely shocked at the power increase. I still smile my *** off when I drive it and think of all the years I wasted modding n/a cars, but after 8 months i've realised that I want more!
