400 genuine horsepower in a 19 year old classic on a budget. this makes me laugh everytime. £10K is about right. reliable and budget are not mutally exclusive

As stated above ur gearbox probably wont handle 400bhp for long, but then again it can be maintained, its down to ur driving style, No launches etc might help in making it last a little longer.
Always budget extra as in alot of cases a budget always goes out the window, Its not just about big bhp numbers, build it to last and a reliable car is what you want.
Best of luck with what ever you do with it

look at 6 speed complete set up which go for about 2k and look at the sc42 turbo.after talking to alan jefferies decided on that one for a good reliable 400+bhp and less lag.turbo about £1200

I used Redline Heavy Shockproof gear oil with a magnetic plug.
You can use the same diff on the STi. If you got a Type R I would look for a DCCD box (rare). Non DCCD box would also work but you wont have the DCCD.
Rear diff, i cant even remeber as it has been a long time. If you get a V5/6 DCCD box then the R180 will work fine, however if it comes from a normal STi that uses the R160? then I think it may need changing, however take that with a pinch of salt as I am not 100%

Its been asked a million times on here, people always number chasing. Problem is, half the time people have no idea what 400bhp feels like.
My mate has 440/440 in his classic, running a 2.1, Simtek, Scooby Clinic Turbo, 6 speed, Blitz Nur spec R, FMIC, etc etc. Its a brutally quick car but owes him around 15k from changing bits/upgrades etc.
What most people fail to overlook is brakes and suspension when going over 300bhp, you can easily add 2k to the budget to make it stop and go round corners or alternatively just leave it and decorate the car with a hedge.

As I said, 10k = 400+ bhp

^ completely 100% agree!
A standard engine in a well tuned chassis makes a quick car!
A tuned engine in a standard chassis makes for something which at some point (if being used properly and not just being bragged about to your mates) will run out of grip and brakes!
440/410 cost me £18k, and probably about half of that was the engine and drivetrain.
