Hi i looking to decat and remap my wrx soon but can someone tell me what i should change as i am not bothered about whether it a full remap or not just the recommended one i should do.

i know i should get a up-pipe what else is recommended please?

car is uk 2005/54 wrx with only backbox

 

loads of threads about this buddy ,but stick with the common ones,
1)uprated panel filter
2)decat down pipe of course
3)uprated fuel pump
4)i would do the plugs to the ngk pf7`s
5)try and get a newage wrx intercooler a fairly easy fit compared to the newage sti one .

then a remap to about 270+bhp

 

hi thanks for that so de cat down pipe is what i should get any other bit i should decat or the downpipe is good enough as i dont know much bout decatting.

by newage intercooler what do you mean as i thought mine is a wrx newage intercooler???

 

also what downpipe should i get ?? should i stick with a sti one?

 

If you de-cat you may start issues without a re-map.

To be safe:

1. Uprate the fuel pump. Easy job to do, 30-40 minutes. If you are on a budget get a second hand STi version.
2. A decent panel filter, K&N, Green Cotton etc etc. 10 minute job.
3. Plug change to the NGK PF7's. A PITA but easily do-able on the drive, about 1 1/2 hours.
4. The decat down pipe from the turbo is a bit of a pain as it's awkward to get at. Get a good quality pipe from one of the recommended suppliers, Scooby Clinic, Revolution 247, Scoobyworld, RCM etc etc.
5. Brakes. More BHP means you'll need to stop better, the OE 4 pots are pretty good but better discs, pads and DOT 5 fluid will help.
6. Suspension. It may be soggy and old. More power means you need good stuff to get the power down properly.
7. Then a re-map.

You could combine it all at a specialist but the de-cat and fuel pump should be done just before the re-map or as part of the work.

Hope this helps.

Why not come to the next South Wales Scooby meet, we'll spend your cash?

 

Oh and the STi intercooler.

No need for the Sti intercooler unless he's changing the turbo even then the wrx cooler is good for a few horses

 

Hey mate, we are based just a few miles from cardiff if you give us a call we could talk you through what you would need and have a chat on what sort of gains you would be looking for in the remap

hope you get in touch

 

thanks everyone atm i just trying to save cash but will definitely do the upgrade soon as the car is impressive with little power its got but still needs that bit more to make it more fun. i miss my supra power.
i more into the shows then meets but thanks and maybe 1 time that would be cool cheers
