Default 2.5 not stupid bhp set up?

hey guys need to pick your brains.

recently purchased a nice forged closed deck 2.5 from roger clarks and im just wondering whats the best auxillaries to run with this? eg turbo injecters ecu etc.

im not after no stupid bhp just want some good bhp/ ft/lbs

the connectors on my injectors are yellow does this mean they are 440 injectors?

current spec is

2.5 bottom end
v3 heads plus cams etc
un-equal stainless manifold
full 3" stainless exhaust with de cat.
aftermarket panel filter.

Front mount, 550cc injectors, fuel pump, fuel pressure reg, apexi power fc, K&N induction kit and a TD05 20G turbo. This should get you around 380 - 400bhp and similar amount of torque.

With you current tmic you are limting yourself to around 330 - 340bhp, anymore and you run the risk of high charge temps on a spirited drive.

wat injectors and turbo will be best?

Keep your current 440cc injectors they will be fine and same again with your current turbo, which should be a VF22 or VF23.

Bang vs Buck at your stage for 400bhp....

550cc injectors or FPR to whack up your current threshold
Keep the panel filter (but that does depend on your routing to the airbox and what version of airbox it is)
Pick up a 2nd hand TMIC (Ver.8 etc)
Appropriate turbo

Various ways to skin a cat if you ask me.

Why did you buy a Closed Deck 2.5 bottom end when you have no intention of going above 400bhp? A CDB 2.5 should easily be good for 600bhp+ and so you engine spec is way way over spec for what you want?

Sorry to take things a little off topic, but what kind of figures will an 18g potentially make on a 2.5?

thats wat i wanted to make it very reliable. if i want to go more power then the engine will be good for it.

wanted a fresh start engine and 2.5 was what i wanted. plus get more bottom end grunt from it. and its something different. everyone man and his dog has an impreza but not everyone has a 2.5

so now il have a different car which will be solid at the bhp i want to run

fully closed deck 2.5?
It would be a crime to run anything less than a fully rotated garrett set up and gun for 500+ bhp.

are you sure its not an ej257 semi closed deck?

no need to apologise
but it does limit things slightly. I would say that 1.6bar is now the top target.

if you can afford the supporting mod's to take you over 400 ie injectors and turbo etc etc and then just get it mapped to what you want ? that way if yu want to take it to 500 you can just get it remaped etc etc ??

You also need to remember the 2.5 is very good at breaking gearboxes, dont forget to consider this part.

Your current set up will see around 315 BHP and 330 Torque.
