Power Ideas?
Hi All,
I am thinking of a couple of mods any would like ideas of power I could see.
I want to be able to pass MOT emissions without having to swap CATS on an off.
I want to remap to run on 95 ron as 97 at garages near me are going to stop selling it.
Any ideas of what power figures I could see?
The car is a 2.5 STI 2006.

Decat full exhaust, remap, k&n filter, walbro fuel pump = 340 to 360bhp.
Suspension - Whiteline ARB, Prodrive springs or coilovers dependant on cash.
Brakes - Pagid/Fefodo pads or full conversion, cash depending.

Do away with your top mounted inter cooler.
Get the largest front mounted inter cooler you can afford. That will then stand you in good stead for long term mods.
De Cat exhaust (mot's wont be a prob). Many members on here will tell you where to go. There are many places that will sort that out.
Uprated fuel & oil pump.
Re map.
Sun strip for front screen saying:- (Driver's side) "When I brake hard" (Passenger side) "I break wind"
£3000 - £5000 depending on spec.

THe running cost with octain booster would almost double and I do 80 miles a day. My car I think is at 261 bhp and if I could get 320 or more with a sports cat and remap on 95 ron, I get more power than I have now and lower running cost, double win lol

AFP don't recommend a need to change to a FMIC at this level - the car has an TMIC, albeit not a huge one. You could go for a bigger one but it's not really necessay at this level. Many folks are happy with exhaust inc sports cat, remap & remap. Bear in mind that alone could cost £1500.

not wanting to get into an argument but i had to change mine at 320 maybe this was coz mine is a old sti3 one i have heard the newer ones are alot better but personal preference does prevail also i was thinking further afield as im looking for 500hp in the future

Is yours not an STi?, if it is, its running more than 261bhp. Its should be 280 as standard and on a rolling road they usually run more than that. As said on another thread, it can be mapped on whatever fuel you want and even on 95ron, you can expect 320bhp from a good map/mapper. .

Both valid points - the classics have smallers ICs and if you're looking for 500bhp you'll need something more!

I would say get yourself a full 3 inch system with sports cat £750ish, either uprated pannel air filter or APS Inner wing CAI (but you dont realy need the CAI at your level but it sounds good! 100ish 2nd hand) a set of GT spec 2 headers and up pipe, not sure on cost but not over £500 I would say. And finally a good ECUTEC remap £550 + Vat.
Should see you at about 350ish bhp due to only running 95 on your 2.5 but im no expert
