MY02 WRX

I want more power!

I've pieced together a list of bits needed, but I'm sure I've missed a few necessary bits to sustain this power safely.

I'd really appreciate it if ppl could fill in the blanks or even change items in the list: (delete or add)


> TD05 18g
> STi top mount
> STi pinks
> STi cams
> Full de cat with 3" system
> Uprated head bolts
> Uprated oil pump
> Uprated fuel pump
> 3 port boost solenoid
> Re Map


What sort of power could be expected from these mods?

Thanks
Alex

 

To give you an idea these are powers from friends 02 WRX's

Milltek 3" decat system and kn panel, TEK3 > 280bhp

Magnex 2.5" decat downpipe and decat first centre section, janspeed backbox, kn panel filter, TEK3 > 285bhp

VF34 turbo, XS power headers and FMIC, STI injectors, TEK3, Afteburner decat system > 356bhp

 

At what point would you need to change to a front mount ?

TD05 18g
> STi top mount - I'd fit a FMIC
> STi pinks
> STi cams - you don't really need these
> Full de cat with 3" system
> Uprated head bolts - you don't need these at this level
> Uprated oil pump
> Uprated fuel pump
> 3 port boost solenoid
> ReMap

And i should think you will see about 350/360 with this lot and a decent remap

 

I just did

PPP Sports Cat
Full SS System
Vf35 STI Turbo
STi Injectors
Decat up pipe (very important)
STI TMIC
K&N Panel filter
Uprated fuel pump

I got a very very very safe 330Bhp ECUTEK map by Andy Forest, It goes liek Stink!!!

Thats on a 03 WRX

 

I've got an MY01 WRX with the following and it made 282/282 on an RR:

• Full SS decat system (incl. up pipe)
• HKS Hybrid panel filter
• Walbro fuel pump
• ECUTEK remap

I haven't had a 3 port boost solenoid fitted but would recommend you do.

 

It was suggested to someone recently that they might be better off using a TD04 hybrid turbo, gives quicker spool-up and pulls strong up to near rev limit on a WRX, wont give you more that 320 tho apparently. Depends what sort of drive you are after I suppose.

lots of turbo info

some would say putting a 18g on a wrx is pushing your luck

some would say pushing you luck makes a quicker car

if you were pulling the heads, pistons would be swapped
