Hi all I'm new to scooby net so hi all. I'm looking for a sti years between 03 and 05. I want power around 360 so could someone tell me which is best to buy engine wise turbo wise etc etc many thanks andy.

 

You should buy a japanese import (JDM). Then get exhaust, panel filter change an remap. Make 340. This model sti is a twinscroll turbo. Most aggressive, very little lag, strong engine. All round better than UK STI

 

Cheers bud. So no uk sti will make tht power? Even With front mount and remmap?

 

JDM 2.0L twinscroll will hit 350bhp/380lbft with an exhaust, panel filter and remap....After that its a UK MY05(widetrack) with the same should be around he 330-340 mark with similar torque.

 

The one that's had the most money thrown at it.

 

Ok so here I am it's gonna have to be between wide track sti. Or normal sti the dccd doesn't really fuss me. To be honest. So apart from the dccd what else does the wide track offer? Cheers andy

 

slightly revised interior, nicer alloys

 

Ones to look out for are;

S202 / S203 / S204
Spec C
Type 20 / Type 25
2005 JDM

Other than that you can get any STI to that power with the right mods.

 

Cheers ppl. I've had some info tht a front mount and bigger turbo on a sti uk. I could get 350-360 this tru?

 

You only need a bigger turbo, you won't NEED a front mount at 350/360bhp.

 

Mine of course.

 

Whats the car for? and why the obsession with those particular figures?

 

The original top mount cooler is good for 400bhp. Front mount not needed until after that point, someone told you b.ll..ks

 

I've had a lot of scoobys classic shapes before. And they were 320 hp proven and they felt fast. Recently I owned a sti type uk 03 had a remmap at tdr racing and came out 320. I was happy until I drove home it didn't feel fast or had much grunt I no it's heavier car but just didn't give me much of a buz I've cosworth egos m3s I've got a soft spot for subarus but I want abit more power.

 

Whats your budget ?

 

7-8 k

 

Believe it or not if you did a back to back comparison of the two you will find the New age quicker a lot of the time, it just doesn't feel quicker because they are much more planted on the road, nice smooth dry track and it's a different story.

Well if your set on more power here is your list.

MD321 turbo.
Front mount.
Rcm induction kit.
up rated fuel pump.
3 port boost solenoid .
ngk pf7 plugs.
parallel fuel rails or mod existing.
Remap.
Brown underpants.

I may have missed something, but that lot will see you to well into 400bhp and then if you want more just add 20% meth another remap and you'll be touching 500bhp.

I recon that will give you the shove your after.

 

^^^^^^^ a new clutch and decent brakes

MY05 widetrack or MY03 JDM for that sort of budget

 

nah brown pants will be more use.

 

Probably add bigger Injectors.

 

Got a set of ap brakes ready

 

This looks a potentially good buy
