hello i got a 2002 impreza wrx

mods are a 3.5 inch straight through no cat
larger fuel pump not sure of the make
a prodrive pack
dump valve not sure of that make either
an induction kit (cone type filter )
and had a remap that was apparently £600
got a larger bonnet scoop (not sure if that helps or classes as a mod lol )

sorry for my ignorance but im new to a turbo car and this sort of car as my last car was a focus so just a bit of a change ..

the bloke i bought it off said its roughly 300bhp but am not sure whether to belive him as he could of told me what he like i prob would of belived him lol
all help is appreciated

 

2002 impreza WRX runs as standard a Mitsubishi TD04 turbo. Small, so not a lot of lag but doesn't flow a lot of air so power usually 270-280 BHP on a de-cat.

Shaun

 

More like 260-270bhp. Your TD04 will max at around 280
Dump valve and cone filter may actually reduce bhp.
Enjoy and welcome to Scoobynet

 

cool forgot to mention on the little sticker on the ppp on the inside of my door it say bhp increased to 261 inform insurance company

but does that include all mods or just that 1
cheers

 

ah cheers what sort of turbo should i be looking at within a fair price range to increase it a little and thanks i find it usefull on here lol nice to be welcomed

This is the PPP for the blob but the bug was the same.......

sorry,wasn't thinking so have amended my last post. for some reason I was thinking of the jap WRX factory output with the single AVCS.

Shaun

 

Next step is usually the TD05, VF34 or VF35. With mods usually hit the 330-340 BHP. Outside choice is Andy forrests modified TD04. This is a good read for your car

this is what he was telling me he had done i have copy n pasted it from the link u sent me but listed what i can remember as i bought the car 3 months ago and cant remember everything he said lol but sounds very familiar to what he was going on about as i pretty much bought the car blind and didnt have a clue what he was going on about lol

Level 2 290-310 bhp

Full Decat or Sportscat exhaust from turbo back 2.5 or 3” bore.
Decat uppipe Pre turbo
Walbro 255 l/hr uprated fuel pump
K+N panel filter
Ecutek Custom ECU recalibration
Twin boost set up for high/low power switchable in-car
AFP 04-H custom ported hybrid turbo
High Flow multi spray fuel injectors 550cc (380cc as std)
Uprated turbo to intercooler 'Y' pipe
NGK PFR 7B uprated spark plugs

 

Andy Forrest AFP 04-H Turbo is pretty unusual and would have been a selling point in the advert...have you a link to the original sale ?

Shaun

 

HAHA didnt notice that bit i dont have a link to it sorry it was done by zak performance i belive would it be worth a phonecall to him to see what was actually done and the readings of it all then i know for sure what has been done im not worried about the car as i love it but little things bug me lol sure ur the same but it all sounds familiar in that list i copied to what he was telling me lol

 

Zak as in Zak who works for MOCOM ?

http://www.mocomracing.com/

Shaun

 

it could possibly be as the person i bought the car from jus said zak performance but u seemed more clued up than me so possibly could be

are they good then :-/

 

I have no personal eperience of them so can't comment. However Mocom seem to provoke a "marmite" response to posts on here LOL

Shaun

 

hmmmm seems to be the man im on about lol well maybe ill drop him an e-mail or try n call him and going by that post i might find out about my scoob in a few weeks/months lol

midlife u living in essex ?

 

Carlisle area

Shaun

 

ah pretty far from me then lol

 

does it have a de-cat up pipe ?! its the most restrictive, worth getting . and the £600 remap is because of having to pay for the license . good to see another bug owner

 

i think it does have a decat up pipe .... yes i gotta admit i love me bug but got an awfull lot to learn lol

 

Lots of bug owners on here

Shaun

 

STUNNING ive got exact same headlights what are they called lol very nice car and i just put some blue side led lights in today but not sure if they look tacky or not

 

i can honestly say "not just cos ive got one" that bugeyes with morrette lights on em are my favourite new age scoobs by far

 

as for the blue side lights , take em out mate i had some and the police are defo not a fan

 

The Bug headligt conversion into quads are "Morettes" as InitialD said. Smoked repeaters with silvatec bulbs look a lot classier

Shaun

 

ah atleast i know the name of them now lol

yes i drove past the police and did get a funny look but ill leave them in for a while till i get bored then change them back where do i get the smoked repeaters or can i do em myself

 

if you mean indicators ? that are on the wing then just ebay some , i got smoked for subaru fitment for 4.50 with bulbs and their fine . or if you mean the repeater at the bottom of each headlamp ? just take the morrette cover off the headlight " couple of skrews " and spray them with tint spray , ive used "foliatech" spray on my old brake lights and it works very well

 

i mean the indicators near the headlight lol wheres the best place to buy some tint spray ... do i have tyo give them a slight rub down 1st or just apply it

cheers dan

 

Ah.........the side markers you mean (without any bulbs)? just rub them down and paint or swap for some carbon ones

Shaun

 

i think it sais you dont need too ? but i would personally , but use a very low grit paper like "800" or above . and a couple of coats of spray and jobs a goodun piece of cake .

 

carbon look very nice might have to invest in some of those

u guess rubbing it down will just take the laqour off it so must help lol

im trying to keep away from the engine for a while as my daughters are costing me a fortune so gonna move onto the styling of things

what do u think about painting the calipers as i just bought a gold kit but dont wanna do it and regret it

 

painting calipers is a very easy job , but spend a nice amount of time cleaning with wire wool and small wire brush . i think painting with brush is best instead of rattle cans as you can apply a thicker coat if you have the calipers with raised lettering on them paint over them wait til paint has fully dried then sand the letters to expose the metal lettering and its all nice and neat then
