hi guys just wondering what mods i can do to my car before i need a remap, it already has a decat exhaust any help would be great

cheers mike

 

according to most , your car needs a remap now! i havnt done much to my99 uk 2000 and all everyone told me next was get a remap , personally im getting a bigger turbo next then remap,

Depends what you want to achieve, the list of parts are endless and can cost you a lot of money, so if you give an idea what kind of power you are looking for then you will heve better answers.

And YES with your decated exhaust you already due a remap,

 

If he only has a decat exhaust,then there is no need for a remap imho ,as it will allow the exhaust gases to exit quicker and make the car more responsive . I ran a full decat on my 99 car for 6 months,before fitting a bigger turbo & then having it mapped.Most classic imprezas are normally fine with an exhaust change,where as a newage car can tend to throw up a cel when going full decat.

 

I ran an MY98 uk turbo with a full decat for three years without any issues.............

 

An ESL board and remap is only £500

So with the decat, uprated air filter and a Walbro fuel pump you could be seeing 260-280bhp

You could get a boost controller but a remap would be safer.

 

As above, but, if it's a 98 car, I assume that, before ANY extra power mods, you have had the brakes done? The stock two pots on those cars were disgraceful and should never have been fitted to a performance car

Then get suspension modded and geometry PROPERLY* done, the car WILL be quicker in twisties

* NOT at a local garage/tyre place
