advise on tuning 2001 wrx
 

i have a 2001 wrx it only has a decent induction kit on it and is at 239bhp and would just like some advise on how to get it to 280-300ish a remap they said puts it to 260ish and they advise a decat uppipe i just don't really want to pay £550 for 20bhp that i cant see me even seeing the difference but as i have above standard bhp would i get more than the 260 because of the induction kit and would like to no what you think would be the best turbo to go for out of the vf series or a td05 ect iknow what you need to run the vf ones but what would you need to do to run the td05 but mainly any advise would be great as its my 1st scooby :confused:

Is it a JDM or UK car? If its JDM then stock is around 240 anyway. If its UK its about 215. Have you had the car on a rolling road and has it been mapped already? I doubt you would see a 24bhp increase on a uk car from an induction filter alone.

I have a 2002 wrx just been remapped to 308bhp i used a second hand vf35 turbo, sti injectors, sti topmount intercooler uprated fuel pump and decat uppipe. The car drives so much better now to

i checked the engine number and it comes up as a European Import and yeah had it rolling road checked and its 239hp it does have a wrsport back box but still has the decats

so i take it the vf series are better how much are they second hand and a good place to get one i only want to up the power a bit at the moment but a new turbo decat injectors ect will be getting done soonish

try scott@scoobyspares on here thats whare i got mine for £350

Speak to Engine Tuner in Plymouth.......................oooooh yer:norty:.

I`ve got a JDM Wrx and was looking to up the power so I went for a VF34, Sti Pinks and a 3 port solnoid, after already having a STI top mount. But plans have changed so they maybe up for grabs shortly

Any reason you have your mind set on a TD05 or VF35? I'm running a VF34 with the usual STI mods and achieved 346bhp. If your happy with 280ish then I'm sure your current TD04 would achieve that with supporting mods. Also shop around for remaps, you should be able to get an open source map for around £350, not including rolling road time. Mapping on the road usually doesn't cost any extra. Speak to Duncan (dynaracemix), he's mobile and comes to you. Ask around the forum about his work, he's a top bloke.

i got a 2002 wrx, a td04 is fine for 280ish. if you only aiming for 280 then i wouldnt spend money on a turbo, when i went to map mine the mapper advised me on the first thing to change, eliminate both cats (uppipe and downpipe), i put in a set of pink injectors which you can pick up cheap these days, new fuel pump 255, i had a front mount anyway so that was on.
if i remember correctly i reached 293bhp.
as listed i spent £560, and £300 to map
