Awsome mate. Real wolf in sheeps clothing. Any closer to getting those dyno sheets up?

 

This Friday if all goes well.

 

serious bit of kit then looks nice !

 

1 more day... anyone going to be at WRC Friday morning? I have to be there at 8:45am...

 

Updated power output and pics in 1st post

 

Impressive graph's. I can see that the curves indicate a very quick car in real world driving conditions. I really do like you car - such a sleeper. The only real giveaway from the outside is the FMIC. Very jealous mate.

 

I didnt even really get on it on my way home last night but I could feel the torque.

 

updated!

 

great car mate part of the sleep brigade just like me

 

Nice car there.
No need for stickers and all that **** with this one

 

Not a fan of sticker-charging!

Thanks for the comments!

Now if only I could find a non-turbo bonnet!

 

its funny i found one for mine, the first 03> bonnet ive ever seen, but then i realised its twice the weight of mine so ill just take the scoop off and gauze it..

 

Nice!!

 

how mutch did the front mount cost and where did you get it and wot like of a job was it to fit cheers momo

 

Turbo XS (not the cheap ebay crap XS Power)

Fairly easy to install

Cost $900 USD

 

updated

 

ib an RS hood would make it more... sleeperish

 

You know, I have been trying to find one for 6 months now. I even went so far to call people that had their non-turbo for sale and ask if they would be willing to swap bonnets. You wouldn't believe how many times I got cussed out! Really!

 

am i being stupid? That is a huge list of upgrades and its not running much power> How come you didnt go sti and spending just £1k on mods to get same results?

 

I don't know maybe you are. APS said those are some of the highest numbers they have ever seen for a 'small' turbo like the S/R30. You can chase big HP number that will impress your friends on the WWW. I am interested in a fast real world car that doesn't loose its driveability.
Why didn't I buy an STi.... Maybe because they weren't released in the USA until '04? Plus is sure is fun to hear "but its just a WRX".

I remember when the car was getting mapped there was a guy there that had a UK300 and when he saw 263hp on the screen he looked over and said not bad, you are up there with a STi now, I said... thats at the wheels! <insert dumb look>



Just wait for the new power figures when I get back from WRC w/ a remap for the alcohol injection... I'm hoping for 300 WHEEL hp!

 

Top 5 pics are new!

 

Updated, now with JDM 6 speed conversion!

You can also see it on page 103 of the May issue of Jap Performance Magazine! Just not with current spec or pics.

 

Updated power and engine pics!

Getting upset because no tuner here is willing to map a WRX past 350hp or 18psi on the stock internals. Guys in the states with my set up are pushing over 300 wheel HP.

 

New pics and vids!

 

This one has sound... don't mind me I got a bit excited!

im sure if you give Bob Rawles a ring he may be willing to sort you out with the meth and over 350bhp ( if your crazy enough )

he's not half bad either
