I understand the local Massey Ferguson Society meet at Chew Magna last Wednesday of the month. Or try the Bristol John Deere Massive, they allow other vehicles on there cruises to Portishead Baths

First step is to fit some f*cking stupidly large wheels, then a vent to atmosphere dump valve and an 'induction kit' and youre away. 300Bhp innit?

Welcome See Carl Davey's thread in the projects section (300 bhp on a MY98), would appear to be not as straightforward as you would think!

Might be better to swap your engine for a second hand STi engine and stick a decat exhaust on it!

imprezaturbochick

Very aware its not easy!! But been doing my homework and its poss to get close!!

Already got the later spec 17s on it so they can stay on there for a while. More worried bout my engine than looks for the mo!

Dont take the ****!!!!!!!

It isnt that difficult but it can be extremely expensive especially if youre starting with a 10 year old WRX thats probably been thrapped on supermarket unleaded for a couple of years. If your engine is fit, and you should check firsy which is expensive, a TD05 equipped car would need a complete decat, a freely breathing exhaust, upped fuel pressure and an A'pexi PFC; an uprated TMIC wouldnt hurt either.

And you dont see why? Considering your post and the state of most '95 cars now... go and have a look in McDonalds carpark.

Looking to spend bout 2k so hoping should be able to do it!

Thanks for help!

Why do you want 300 BHP ?.

I wouldn't want 300BHP, I would want to know where my other 70 had gone, christ Chavs will nick anything these days

imprezaturbochick

Its in bl**dy nice cond actually!! Wouldnt have bought it otherwise!!!!!

Good quality remapped ECU, exhaust, filter, fuel pump and reg and plenty of change out of 2K should see you 280-300bhp. Probably think about doing the brakes with the change, oh and paying the extra insurance for the mods.

GC8

The reality is that the four pot brakes required will take up most of your budget.

Simon

imprezaturbochick

Thats basically the idea!! Just gotta source all the best bits at best prices!

Thanks

I run standard oe 4 pots and disks with ds2500 pads and braided hoses. With 320+bhp they are perfectly okay. If you want a trackday car then maybe you need to upgrade.

You can pick up a set of second hand 4 pots fairly cheaply, a few hundred quid off a specialist.

imprezaturbochick

Had 325ml dicss with 4pot callipers conversion on last car, just a shame couldnt make it fit the scooby

Have they come down in price then? When I last looked it was going to cost a lot more than that, although I was getting new rotors and minty pads too.

Just as an example of second hand parts prices

look under parts-> brakes and 4 pot calipers are £150 each

Sarah,

Achieved 316 bhp with just short of 290lb torque with a UK97 turbo and this is still on the oem injectors and top mount.

I'd say it cost me about £2k-£2.5k if I include uprating the clutch. Have to run Octane Booster as well now. Knocklink a must and the apexi pcf (with Andy F remap ) was perhaps the best mod engine wise that I've bought.

Good luck.
