Default pic of my oddball type ra rally slag ! chip wanted !!

she already is quick but when she came from japan , some nice chap had removed some of the uprated stuff , ie ecu,boost controller and something on the right hand side of the consol as there were power wires and screw holes. the reason that i know this is it now has a u8 ecu which is wron and it has an hks fcd fitted to the wiring loom. anyway i want an uprated suitable ecu as the car is full of goodies anyway, kyb adjustables, 3 inch exhaust, greddy fmic, greddy exh unit and gauge, greddy boost gauge, razo t/timer, razo ****,short shift/close ratio box, lamco oil temp gauge,lamco voly gauge etc etc. anyways, here she is !!!

How much work is involved in inverting the inlet manifold to allow a shorter inlet tract?

god knows ! but the guys up here that have seen it say it was set up for drag ! it has an uprated clutch and it seems to scrub slightly on full lock like a drift diff. it launches and spins in the dry easily but the jap tyres are coming off as they are mince in the wet ! its a pity the jap guy who owned it mugged some of the fancy electronics !

Id fit either a Z4 or a Z5. C1-Series (MY95) WRXs used the Z4, which is good for 260PS on SUL. The C1 WRX Type-RA used the Z5; again producing 260PS. As Im sure you know, the U8 is an A+B-Series WRX ECU (rated at 240PS); and it may have been the original ECU..... (the only car not listed on my ECU reference is the A/B-Series Type-RA).

I quite like the look of those myself. Mick; can you recommend somewhere in Newcastle to quote/fit a replacement alternator for someone? She's had some comical quotes so far...

You dont need another ECU if you are going to chip it, just the chip, the U8 and the ability to solder!
