How to get a uk2000 model to the 300hp mark
Might be buying a uk turbo very soon and was wondering how hard is it to get up to the 300hp mark, and what is needed to do it. I was looking at the following
18g turbo Apexi pfc with right map bigger injectors Would this see me right? cheers |
16g do it easy
440s and sure u can esl board yours so all quite cheap aslong as u got exhaust ,filter ect |
Filter, decat, bigger turbo and remap.. I'm at 305
|
How many miles has the engine got on it? i take it you are looking for reliable 300BHP, if so and a high miles engine then suggest rebuild is budgeted for as well.

Mine just about to hit the big 100 .. Having a bigger Turbo means its easier to drive off boost, fuel is actually better and the power is there if I need it. |
Save yourself some money and don't buy a MY98 UK Turbo (S reg) like I did... :)
Get a 99/00 instead. |
What's your budget ?? These old motors are getting very cheap now, you may be able to pick one up that has already had the money spent on it.

A 98 S reg can be an MY99!
|
just out of interest Brun, how can an S reg be a MY99??? You mean engine swap or something???... :wonder:
actually scratch that, i presume your refering to year of manufacture etc right... 98 = S, 99 also on a S too i take it??? :confused: |

how come the my99/00 are better than the earlier versions??i have a my00 uk and would like to know if they are different in anyway to the earlier model apart from the facelift front etc.?

The Model Years (MY) generallychanged in the August (i think it was???) of the previous year. So for instance, you can easily buy an MY98 which was built in 97 and an MY97 which was built in 96 etc. etc.
The easiest way to spot an MY99 is with the front brakes which have Subaru written on them (providing someone hasbn't upgraded the brakes on an earlier model) MY99/00 are prefered as you can remap the ecu, although with more and more options available this isn't as important now. Other things include the better brakes and generally a more modern look - although long in the tooth it's self now. |
As Brun says, the difference is the styling - front bumper, grill, lights, quite a few engine components, the interior, brakes, and most importantly if costs are an issue and you're hoping for 300bhp your ECU is not mappable. You'd need a new ECU and map which is around £800 in my experience.
Easiest way to check is your coil pack, is it in the middle of your manifold or to the right, in the middle and you have a MY98. The MY98 was a crossover model so you can get all kinds of component combinations on them really, different interiors ect. After I bought mine and spoke to a few people about upgrades most recommended not to bother, and to save for an STi rather than starting with a UK Turbo. Of course you can make a high bhp UK turbo, but i believe it's cheaper and easier in the long run to start with an STi. |
i will soon have everything that u need to get the power u want and dmore, im breaking mine soon and i have td05 20g, 550's fmic de cat blitz nur spec apexi power fc blah blah blah lol keep ur eye out for breaking cars ;)

To find out just check your VIN and assuming UK car The 10th character is the model year............. V=97 W=98 X=99 Y=2000 1=01 2=02 3=03 |

The reaason i say 300hp mark was because i use to have a wrx running that power, and that was good n the road. I dont think the bloke is going to accept my offer this is the car in question what you think, im going to get rid of the roof scoop if he accepts lol.

9 owners, no service history. Best to know what you are looking for or you could be staring down the barrel of a money pit.
Once something serious goes wrong with these cars they are barely worth repairing. |
Whats the main things i should be looking for tomoz then?
|
wow 2 mths thats along time hes had that car
that alone would put me of |
I wouldn't buy that one.
Don't rush out and buy the first one that takes your fancy. Sit back, take your time and look at a few. For me, the biggest put off is an advert full of spelling mistakes or a poorly written advert. |

My MY99 'S' has
FMIC apexi power fc turbo back decat fuelabs fpr K&N cone 3 port boost solenoid TD05 18g and runs 322Bhp with 1.4bar Just needs a uprated pump to squeeze out a few more BHP chose a power fc over mapping cos it worked out cheaper in the long run, I could get more of money back if I decided to sell the power fc than if I sild a standard ecutek'd ecu |
