Hey up guys. Im fitting some upgrades to my scoob does any know roughly what bhp i could be looking at after fitting them and a remap on an esl board. i want to get to around 300bhp.
1997 turbo2000 wagon, full decat exhaust system(open mouth down pipe), hks induction kit, fmic, Andy Forrest TD04 HYBRID turbo, yellow 440 injectors, unequel tubelur headers, different uppipe.Do i need a 255 fuel pump and do i also need a 3 port boost solenoid. Is there anything you guys would recommend or is there any of the mods im fitting not really nececery.
Im still learning so any advice welcome.

I would fit the pump as your original one is now getting on for being 17 years old, so it would be a good idea.
Also the 3 port is a good idea as it will allow for better boost managment

and get some performance brake fluid on the go!

Yes, you should see between 270 and 300bhp at a guess.
Surely you knew that when you decided on the TD04 Hybrid?

I suspect the TD04 will run out of puff before 300bhp. Your 440 injectors may limit you after the turbo. With different injectors & turbo you probably could have got over 300bhp. BUT.. the hybrid TD04 will give you great turbo spool at low revs and will make for a very nice car to drive.

Good luck!

no i didnt know that when i bought it,i bought it for the fast spool up lol

Rather than chasing figures try chasing a well sorted great driving car.

With the mods you have it'll be a great little road car regardless of the bhp. Add the fuel pump to the list along with some handling and braking modifications

thoroughly agree, I would imagine switching to a td05 16g would be good for 300bhp, your 440's will sustain it but get a walbro pump in there as your standard one isn't going to provide and cause major problems in the long run,
also id look at probably an alcatek and remap - depending on budget.....

Why change the ecu when his one and esl can do everything a mildly modded impreza needs.....

Hi thanks guys. Im not really bothered about chasing the bhp.i was told that 300bhp is a good figure to aim at and will make a nice little car to drive. ill be getting a uprated fuel pump and a 3port boost solenoid.

You'll love it!

Let us know how you get on.

You don't really need a 3 port boost solenoid to be honest.

Or a massively modified 550hp monster 0-100 in 7 sec with ALS, LC, Flatshift and Traction control which you still have to have a go in matey

How true Andy, I think people overlook the capabilities of esl. In nearly all cases a stand alone ecu isn't really needed and like you say, esl works very well on your test car.

And yes, I definitely need to come over for a ride soon. Been meaning to for a while but you know what its like chap

Andy Stevens

Not just my car, here is FastJaps/Racedynamix ESL managed Wagon vs Ken Block. I think the LC works pretty well being as we were 300hp down. With the flatshift turned on against Kens sequential that would have been seriously close.

Yea, I know what you mean, busy here too. Give us a shout when you are in the area, or we could sort another meet at the Ferry Boat.

I put mine on the dyno yesterday, thank you Clive Atthowe Tuning, Tested 282.6 bhp engine 219 T the wheels, not highly modded either, straight through pipe, remap and that's all so far. Although they did mention the ATF ratio was a bit lean.

Best get it remapped then! To be honest most mappers will set it slightly rich to try and stop detonation which could damage your engine internals.
