hello i got a 2002 impreza wrx

mods are a 3.5 inch straight through no cat
larger fuel pump not sure of the make
a prodrive pack

an induction kit (cone type filter )
and had a remap that was apparently £600
got a larger bonnet scoop (not sure if that helps or classes as a mod lol )

2002 impreza WRX runs as standard a Mitsubishi TD04 turbo. Small, so not a lot of lag but doesn't flow a lot of air so power usually 270-280 BHP on a de-cat.

More like 260-270bhp. Your TD04 will max at around 280
Dump valve and cone filter may actually reduce bhp.
Enjoy and welcome to Scoobynet

Next step is usually the TD05, VF34 or VF35. With mods usually hit the 330-340 BHP. Outside choice is Andy forrests modified TD04. This is a good read for your car

Andy Forrest AFP 04-H Turbo is pretty unusual and would have been a selling point in the advert...have you a link to the original sale ?

does it have a de-cat up pipe ?! its the most restrictive, worth getting . and the £600 remap is because of having to pay for the license . good to see another bug owner

The Bug headligt conversion into quads are "Morettes" as InitialD said. Smoked repeaters with silvatec bulbs look a lot classier

if you mean indicators ? that are on the wing then just ebay some , i got smoked for subaru fitment for 4.50 with bulbs and their fine . or if you mean the repeater at the bottom of each headlamp ? just take the morrette cover off the headlight " couple of skrews " and spray them with tint spray , ive used "foliatech" spray on my old brake lights and it works very well

carbon look very nice might have to invest in some of those

u guess rubbing it down will just take the laqour off it so must help lol

im trying to keep away from the engine for a while as my daughters are costing me a fortune so gonna move onto the styling of things

what do u think about painting the calipers as i just bought a gold kit but dont wanna do it and regret it

painting calipers is a very easy job , but spend a nice amount of time cleaning with wire wool and small wire brush . i think painting with brush is best instead of rattle cans as you can apply a thicker coat if you have the calipers with raised lettering on them paint over them wait til paint has fully dried then sand the letters to expose the metal lettering and its all nice and neat then


Quick Reply: what sort of bhp am i looking at
