Blimey I've got a 98 Sport, that sounds a lot to me.
I had a Mk3 Golf GTi before this and the Scooby feels slightly less pokey then the Golf.

I'm a proud owner of a modded Sport which puts out 141 BHP at the flywheel - RR'd at Well Lane. Those Sport owners want to log onto the Subarusportsters webpage at yahoo groups and jion the small but growing band of Scooby Sport Drivers

I am sure if you really tried you could get 150 hp! CAMS, Uni Chip, exhaust system, new manifold, down pipe. panel filter you could make 150!

150 bhp should easily be possible without a major engine overhaul.
flowed, high lift cams etc..
Matthew
so whats the highest bhp sport?

The Japanese SRX has more power than the UK Sport cos it has a 4-cam 16-valve engine. The Sport has a OHC 8-valve engine.
You can say it is a WRX without the turbo.

Have a look on http://dyno.scoobynet.co.uk/CAother/grahame_may.htm . There's Grahme May's sport on there which is about 145bhp with a Scoobysport exhaust and a few other bits ! Quite quick - I've been in it...

Cheers

Hi all from Belgium,

I own a New Age Sport and I know 'zilch' about car engines, really. Give me a 1000 computerparts and I will give you a
running computer, but don't ask me to change a wheel (as a figure of speach of course)

What exactly is a downpipe ? I thought that was something just for the turbo models.
The exhaust manifold is the part of the exhaust that starts at the engine and leads to the midsection, right ?
Anyone ever found a better manifold for the Sport ? Seems
modified manifolds give the beste increase in bhp and torque.
And of course,....chips, SuperChips or UniChip ?
Air induction kits seem to be very popular as well, but my dealer
says a good panel filter gives the same performance. (maybe something that was improved on with the New Age?)

Thanx for any info. (and for reading my lame questions)
^-^

btw. I gotta have to change my nick, what was I thinking!

Sorry m8, sport has SOHC 16-valve engine! Up to MY 1998 it has 115 bhp, from MY 1999 revised 125 bhp engine (both in standard form).

Any info on the Icon Race Chip? My sports just come out of warranty and wouldn't mind putting in a chip.

Druddle,

Car has SOHC engine- single(one) overhead camshaft (OHC) in each head (that means TWO camshaft in all), Turbo engine and japanese version has DOHC on each side, so it is basically quad cam engine!
