hi all,, i have a my95 wrx import, i have been told they are 256bhp as standard,and i was wondering if anyone can tell me roughly what bhp it would produce after a remap? or do remaps differ in bhp produced? thanks for any help

 

Best to list the mods you have or plan to have for remap to give people more to go on mate

 

thanks mate, iv only just bought the car,but the only mods im aware it has is a blitz induction kit and dump valve,and it has a td05 turbo (but i was told thats factory fitted?) im new to the scooby scene so unsure of the best mods to get fitted. i would like to get it to 300 bhp if poss. sorry to sound like a dumbass lol thanks again mate

 

Yes, if it's a saloon, then it is 260PS (256bhp). And it will indeed have a TD05H 16g turbo.

You'll need a remappable ECU - the ESL replacement daughterboard will be the cheapest/best VFM option (plus it continues to utilise all the OEM input/output sensors). You can get MAP-based ones these days, which means you can junk the MAF. Bonus!

Your turbo is good for the 320-340bhp bracket, so no issue there. But your limiting factors are your small, slanty top mount intercooler and grey 380cc side-feed injectors... They usually max out around 280bhp mark, but - anecdotally at least lol - some people claim to have run into the 300s using them, after a remap...

 

Before spending your money on making it go faster etc etc check that the engine is in decent/good health (a dyno session is relatively cheap).

Then check the underneath as rubbers etc will have perished or disintegrated.

Brakes are **** so get them looked at or upgraded (4 pots from later models are a decent enough and cheap upgrade along with decent discs/pads).

Then make it go faster.

 

If your going to get second hand injectors be carefull i brought a set of 440cc they maxed out at 309 then one failed and cause severe damage to my engine resulted in a build. So advise you if you do buy second hand best to get them checked or buy a new set from the likes of lateral performance.

Just a little heads up

 

Think about cost aswell, esl is £360 roughly, then remap will be £300. Thats £660, plus if the car has high miles its pointless as they will be 100k+ thrashed miles. And adding more strain to an old engine will finish it off.

Might aswell sell up and buy an sti, as they run 300 standard i believe
