Mapping a sport
 
Hi guys, I'm gonna be honest I'm not mechanically minded, I have a 1999 sport which I Wonna make quicker without putting a turbo on. Help please

Save your money. A remap will barely net you anything.

An exhaust and air filter will see some gains, but hardly worth it.

Ok fella thanks :)

No worries.

I had a 1999 Sport a while back, it made 123bhp on the rolling road, and then after a full exhaust (manifold, two decat pipes, centre section, backbox) and a big K&N cone filter, it made 140ish.

It did feel nicer, but it's a lot of money to spend for around 20bhp :)

I have a decat system on an induction kit , just dunno how to make it quicker

Impreza's power comes from the turbo, so your always very limited without

The answer is you can't :thumb:

Save some cash for a turbo model, you will end up chasing your own tail trying to get more performance out of a Sport further to what you have already done.

A lot like to suggest a turbo engine/gearbox/electrical loom swap. It's not worth it.

The only (proper) way to have a quicker Impreza is to buy a turbo model :)
