advice for 350 - 400 bhp on budget
as above. the answer is YA CAN'T.
started off thinking around 3000 but at that already and still got turbo, ecu, suspension, and brakes to get
there will always be something else you think, well while im doing this i might aswell do that etc.

welcome to the world of modding a classic subaru. in the grand scheme of things, £4k is a tear in a salty sea mate. some guys in here have spent the price of a small house on their classics, so don't feel too bad

im not complaining, dont mind the costs involved. wheres the fun in buying and not building? the post was more to tell the people who post big bhp on a budget that it just isn't possible (not doing it properly anyway)

I'm running circa 370bhp in my Type R.
It was standard when I bought it and have since added:-
Engine work:
V8 Sti intercooler
550 injectors
uprated fuel pump
MD321H turbo
Apexi ECU
Exhaust system
Brembo's front and rear
- leading to bigger wheels
6 speed DCCD 'box
Just the engine work, you're looking at £3-4K depending on the bits you choose, new/second hand, who fits/maps it etc.
Then wheels, brakes, gearbox add another £3-4k.

Everyone ignores the £3-4k for the forged engine to take the power, even before the turbo's, ecu's, fmic,injectors etc. Your gearbox wil also be on borrowed time. Very expensive!
