Want more power, can anyone help?
I bought an accident damaged 2001 bugeye impreza wrx about 8 mounths ago to repair and sell. i went to my local dealer for some parts, when he put in the reg he told me the spec. It has a full prodrive pack fitted but has full sti suspension set up (which he said was unusuall for a wrx) and came out the factory with a healthy 280bhp. i repaired the car and has now been on the road for 6 months. After driving it for the first time decided to keep it not realising how much fun they can be.
Any way after 6 months of 280bhp ive decided a little more wouldnt hurt. i was thinking along the lines of a bigger turbo, bigger injectors, bigger intercooler and a remap. can anyone recomend any parts for my build and the best place to source them from. Any help would be much appriciated, thanks alot. |
TBH if it has the Prodrive pack and nothing else then it's pushing out 265ps (262bhp).
Suggest simply doing the following : Yours should have Prodrive sportscat downpipe. Add decat up-pipe and centre pipe from Scoobyworld - £250ish. Also Walbro fuel pump - £95. Remap £585. Remap that and you'll get a genuine 280-290bhp. The car will rev more freely and the power gain will be noticable. If you go fo a bigger turbo, say a VF35, you'll need STi injectors, STi intercooler etc to go with it. Things'll start to get pricey, say another £800 + fitting. That would give you 330bhp+. Consider spending £250 on some better brake pads too (Pagids or Ferodos). |
