Alright, just a bit of advice. Does anybody know if my98uk Turbo would be limited to 145mph. I had the chance to take it up to this speed (not on the public road) and i found it stuck at 145mph at a perfect 6000rpm with a thousand left. Is this the impreza maxed out or should i be able to take it any higher. Thanks

Sounds about right to me. At that speed, the Scoob is a bit of a barn door! To get another 5mph would take a lot more power!
Top speed is purely academic, it's all the other attributes of the Scoob that are important.

Mine used to top out about there

Not actually limited though, except by it's aerodynamics, (or lack of them), and power.

Cheers, have had few minor mods but if thats all i am gonna get top end i aint gonna complain.

Thanks for the input, as long as i know i aint lost any speed and i would have to agree its the acceleration and the handling that makes the scoob what it is.

MY99 UK used to be able to run off the clock with just a decat

I had my '97 Uk turbo with around 300Hp (de-cat, dawes, etc.) off the clock (i.e. >160) when having a bit of a run against a tuned escort cossie a few years ago! Generally, scoobies are crap top-speed machines and there have been many cases of overheating/engine failure at top speed.

I have a 94 import wrx witha full trust exhaust including de-cat and a group A rally manifold plus a 20g turbo. the car is pushing around the 330bhp mark. And i found out on a trip to germany, that i could have done with an extra gear. I got to 165mph on the clock in 5th and found the rv limiter. Shame cause the porker 911 i had just passed was able to pass me again

Your scoob has an electronic limiter in the ecu that reduces boost by 50% - typically at an indicated 148mph. Anyway that's what the local Ecutek mapper told me when I had my MY99 classic Tek3'd a few years back. He upped it to 154mph at my request.

My MY99 standard apart from magnew back box, went up to 152ish and feel it still had a bit left (passenger started feeling unsafe), only had the car 3 weeks wanted to see what it could do!

Oh dear - better get my pipe and slippers! I would love to tell you I had been off the clock - truth is in 7 years ownership of all sorts of scoobs from standard to 400bhp I don't think I've ever gone over 100mph

fanny.

jaysscooby

if it was on the limiter it would jump revs

(like the revs do when you go up past 7/8k)

just sounds like you ran out of road and power

Tell it like it is G!

If you had enough power and road what would a my99 gearbox be maxed out at!?
