as in whats the best power to have for a impreza before it starts getting too silly and what would that spec be ?

example on a cossie you would run grey injectors and a t34 turbo and rs500 cooler and 044 pump and get around 380bhp, to get after that it gets alot more involved with head work and cams and the price just doubles then you need to look at transmission blah blah blah

what sort of power for example would my V3 STI be good before it starts getting long and and what would the spec list be

who has these conversions and who decided they wanted more and who regretted it also

 

My mate runs a fairly low spec engine wise version 3 type R in time attack and it has been pretty reliable at 320bhp. The only modifications are Apexi power FC, full exhaust, oil cooler, alloy rad, boost controller, FMIC & induction kit.

The car had been really reliable given the use it's had and the amount of track miles it's covered, every single time attack session he was out for the entire session and it's done lots of trackdays too but it finally gave up in warm up at Snetterton the other week and that may be because it's been sat for a year and only driven in and out of a garage.

 

i got about 300ish at the min,,,,,, was hoping to hear something like "450 is good and only costs 30p plus a remap" or something like that

ok im hoping to get 380 replys and start working on my christmas list for the family,,,,, though my 7 year old girl seen a F430 the other day and said she is gonna buy me one for christmas with the money from her piggy bank,,,,,,,, **** knows where she has hidden that as shes only got 23 quid in the one in her bedroom

 

ps: he wanna sell me his power fc cheep pmsl

 

You really don't want to start pushing the power past 350bhp if you are on a budget and want reliability and for that you would also need a bigger turbo (VF35)

I think he needs his power fc for his new engine They are good ecu's it's what I've got for mine

 

330 ish and you should keep your current engine and gearbox in one piece.

 

thats it rub it in !!!!

i aint on a budget as such BUT i dont wanna spend 6k to gain a car i cant drive

gearbox will be fine,,,,,,, im rebuilding it so my nieve bodging will save me

oh and i will change the turbo,,,,,, i also got a T34 i got rebuilt a few years ago i might mod to fit

 

350 is more than enough in a Classic. Sort the chassis and brakes out and it will be hard to want more.























Till you get use to the power

 

I sold my VF 35 to a club member, his classic made 330 bhp, and the clutch let go within a week.

If you fit an uprated item now while the box is in bits you may get to 340 bhp or a bit more with methanol...

And then you just cross your fingers as to how long the box lasts...

IMHO.

dunx

 

car has a stage 1 excedy fitted the last time i done a gearbox ( few months ago pmsl) and the suspention is fully sorted and the brakes are mintex touring car spec pad compound so dont work when cold pmsl on the standard subaro 4 pots but i will be fitting AP's soon as i decide if i wanna change wheels or not

 

Im hoping a 400bhp classic sti type r with standard bottom end and gearbox is the quickest you can go without breaking anything or costing the earth to achieve!!!!


I;ll let you know once mine is broke or ran out of money!!!!!
