After spending most of my sunday cleaning the car and reading info from here i have a new question.......

and before u say it what else can this mad man want.?


Well i'm looking at a remap for my 97 sti import.. it has HKS exhaust from cat back HKS airfilt and some other goodies i think.... just not to sure what has been done in japan with it.

Were is the best place to go. i live in tidworth wiltshire.... and how much am i looking at? also if they plug it in can they tell if its been done before? the limiter has been removed but thats about it.


any answers welcome.....

got about £1k to spend on remap.


Thanks Dave

 

First off you will need a apexi power commander for that car.

Get yourself over to ebay and pick one up much cheaper then ud get one from here. The £100 you safe can then go towards the remap.

Were to remap it? I don't know im from london

 

is this what ya talking about with the apexi power commander?

Apexi Power FC and Commander - Subaru WRX 3 4

Also what will this help with and what power gains would i be looking at?

 

also what would this gain me in bhp... current mods being airfilter and exhaust at moment.

 

Yes you need the Power FC (the commander sets up the FC but is useless by itself)...or the LINK ECU orone of the others...

On a 97STI, you should be able to get to about 330bhp with the hardware you have, up from the current 280ish.

As above: the Commander is useless without the ECU that it controls. The A'PEXi PowerFC is good, but Id look at the Simtek too...

 

Being an imported STI can i not just have the current ecu remapped?
if not i take it its just best to upgrade anyway which would help with anyother mods?!

Dave

P.s what would it take to get to around 360/360
