£5000 Budget - What and Where?
Hello Folks.
I'm really stuck and would be gratefully for some advice.
Car is 04 STI Type UK
The car had an upgrade by a company about a year ago and im looking to take it up to hopefully around the 400bhp mark.
From the 1st upgrade i have the following specification:-
650 Injectors
VF34 Modified turbo
Full 3" exhaust system with 100cell sports cat.
Remap etc...
I can’t find my dyno paperwork but I believe it made around 337-340 bhp.
Speaking to some companies I have been advised of the following.
New Manifolds
Hyperflow Intercooler
Hyperflow Under wing Induction
New Fuel Pump
Garrett GT3071 Hybrid Turbo
I understand my Exhaust and Injectors are already ok for upgrade.
What I’m looking for is a one stop shop that can advise/supply and install what’s required to achieve around the 400bhp mark.
I have a budget of £5000
Any thoughts / recommendations.

From: Slowly rebuilding the kit of bits into a car...
Aways chuck some octane booster in, but usually V-Power.... and "she" isn't 100% either, was diagnosed as "poor" on a leakage test in Jan 08, so kill it then cure it ?

P.S. Many make 420-ish on a H or more on a T, 2002 STI Type UK.

From: STI V8 with 558bhp 580ft/lbs on V-Power (2.5 cdb)
See breakdown below (have already done this so can write from experience, prices are very rough and based on you not wanting to do the wrork yourself):
Headers £450
Front Mount (Hyperflow Monster ) £1200
Wing Intake £200
Big K&N for Intake £40
MD321H/T (or other similar turbo) £1500
Silocon intake Pipe £90
ECU (Solaris ) £1600
Plugs (7's) £30
Walbro 255 Pump (do you have one already) £50
Fitting Headers/Front Mount/Turbo/Intake £500
Oil Change £50
Mapping £300
Total Cost (Approx) £6000
Possible savings if the aboves a bit ott :
- if you buy all of the above from one dealer/tunner they will more than likely knock a few £'s off
- If you go for a cheaper front mount (i.e. hybrid) you can knock £700 off the above?
- use the standard ECU with a boost controller and save another £1600?
- theres cheaper turbos (321's are well proven tho imo)
- some people would argue that the standard headers are ok (you could get them ported and save £400)
- you could fit things yourself and save £500
- you could go to a tunner like clinic or engine tuner who would more than likley be able to give you a package deal much cheaper than the above
All my opinion before anyone 'shots me down'. My car made 410bhp/350ft lbs with similar mods to that listed above.
