Ok, Ive got a 1994 WRX Import.

I bought it with a 3inch downpipe and 2.5 exhaust, walbro fuel pump.

I have yellow 440cc injectors and awaiting an Apexi power FC.

Once alls fitted and mapped, how reliable would this set-up be in terms of daily use ? also power wise ?

Sorry if they are dumb questions, im new to Subaru

 

All depends on how you want it mapped

 

Ellaborate ?

 

It's all down to who mapped it an how much they pushed the setup.
Ifs it's mapped properly then it should be fine as long as the engine is well serviced.

 

thats not far off standard m8 so there should be no problems with daily use due to the parts fitted i cant comment on the fc so without that id guess around 200bhp give or take

 

Do you want performance on the limit? Whenever I have a car mapped I always ask to be mapped safely not pushing anything to its limit (turbo,injectors ect) some mappers can be brutal and in no time at all you could be shelling out on gaskets, rebuilds, turbo and the likes.

 

200bhp!!!.... its 250.5bhp and 230 Torque as it is now.

Erm, the mapper will be Jamie at Evotune in durham. i would be happy with around 280bhp after map ? so just wanting to know if 280 would be safe.

But i guess your right by saying its all down to the mapper etc

 

250? what has it had done to it to get that? im presuming its already been mapped?

 

EH comon its WRX standard setup from factory is early are 240bhp. Id say you should get about 270 safely and it will have the TD05 turbo which will cope with that.

 

yea it has the TD05 turbo on it.

Well we shall see in a couple weeks what i`d get out of it, its over fuelling like mad as it is though £70 gets me 180mile

 

your engine internals should be good for 350 as long as its been looked after but you will have the crappy gaskets as its not sti, these will go first my 1995 WRX gaskets went at about 330bhp.

 

Thats all I used to get and when I finished tuning it I got just over 160

 

factory import wrx,s were 220 if lucky the last 1 i had had a full 3" zaust induction kit a piggyback ecu and it made 180bhp at jeffers or engine tuner as he now calls himself they were happy with it and werent suprised at the bhp saying every1 thinks they have silly power untill they get on the rollers,i was quite shocked even more so seeing that i had just blown away my m8s 255bhp skyline

 

[quote=tow13;10104052]Thats all I used to get and when I finished tuning it I got just over 160

my wrx on a flat out motorway run i used to get 100 miles a tank

 

[QUOTE=snake1906;10104066]You must have had a hole in the tank

 

it was a pain in the a55having to stop so often on a trip was ok around town though

 

eh ? are you on about a sport here or something ?

 

lol no m8 1994 wrx import this is what was left

 

Then you had a monkey!!

And no way in hell will a 180bhp car eat anything near a 255bhp Skyline.

Think you have your figures totally wrong!!

 

Either your aiming for the number 2 and pressing 1... Or your dyno dude was a complete retard!

 

didnt get anything wrong fella! they were both on the rollers on the same day 1 after another and the dyno dude was martin jeffery

 

So you had a 2.0 turbo wrx import, TD05 turbo... And it ran 180bhp and you were pleased with it? :/

 

who said anything about being pleased? i was exspecting near 300,i crashed it just to teach it a lesson lol

 

WTF!?? We talking about hp at the wheels or flywheel??

 

It was a question, hence the ? Afterwards!

 

o well no m8 i obviously wasnt pleased with it id spent alot of money on it to be told i was 120bhp down from what i was exspecting wasnt very nice,but as i said jeffers was happy with it and said it was about rite,ive had ascort and fiesta turbos with the same power as that

 

I think this 'jeffers' is easily pleased then

 

+1

I thought he might be confused between flywheel hp and hp at the wheels.

But he says it should have made 300 at the flywheel, but it made 180 at the wheels, which is around 225 hp at the flywheel, so still too low.
