whats the best mods for a standard wrx 96

 

What is your budget?

 

the car is practicality standard engine wise, so even first recommended mods £1000

 

wheels and suspension. make the car handle before going for power.

 

ok ignore i see you already have wheels.

exhaust and filter. including headers. get rid of the cats.

 

Brakes and suspension would be a better start.

Then a good panel filter, decat exhaust system and then have a look at the ESL remap.

Forget dump valves and induction kits, both a waste of money.

Be warned it's slippery slope once you start modding.

 

You don't need headers unless you intend to go for over 400 brake.

 

ok shes already got air filter, decat ,stainless exu,18"wheels,turbo timer,grooved discs , so what about fueling ,intercooling ,turbos,what safe boost to run, etc also how do i go about getting the speed limeter off and kph into mph ?? thanks for the info

 

anyone

 

bigger turbo and a remap

wiley

 

your ecu can't be re mapped, but i believe you can chip and then re map. think your around 600 for that but could be wrong.

walbro fuel pump, bigger turbo, injectors. then set up. your top mount is good for 380bhp i think. bigger sti v8 is good for 400. or you could go fmic.

just remember more power the drivetrain will break easier. uprated your clutch for a start.

 

not likely

 

cheers guys going to give her a service then get her on the rolling road first for a bench mark, what should she be putting out standard 230 bhp ???

 

when new it would be rated at 260ps (256bhp) if running the z4 ecu

 

new to scooby terms what z4 ecu m8 soz for sounding dumb

 

z4 is the model of ecu in a late 94-96 wrx and is rated at 260ps

subaru identify early ecus by a letter/number or number/letter combo

If you want to check the ecu is in the passenger footwell under the carpet and then a kick plate.

 

 

Standard turbo (TD05) is good for 340-350 bhp. Only change it if you want more, but that power level will take you way beyond the £1000 initial budget.

Standard intercooler is good for 300 bhp. STI 5/6 coolers can be fitted relatively easily, but newage STI coolers are a bit of a bitch. May as well go front mount.

I'm running up to 1.5 bar on mine with properly sorted fueling (550 injectors, Fuel pressure Regulator, Fuel Pump), but thats getting toward the safe limit of the WRX engines.

 

what horse power you getting with that set up m8, been reading a thread on polar performance chips if i get one should i be looking for about 280?? my car has decat pipes +stainless steel exhaust , induction kit,turbo timer ,96 wrx 80.000 kilometres thats about it what you think ,
