Recommended upgrades
 
I want to get my car to around 330-350bhp I currently have a decat uppipe, turbo back cobra exhaust with a sports cat, k & n air filter, dump valve it's been mapped but needs to be tweak once it has been tweaked it has been estimated at around 280bhp which is normal I guess for these mods.

So my question is what upgrades do I need to do to get it to the 330-350 mark?

Thank you

What model you got mate?

Anger 11-09-2012 11:31 AM

Bug Wrx

A VF35, STi top mount and remap should get you close

Anger 11-09-2012 11:32 AM

Oh and STi injectors

Thanks mate much appreciated. vf35 easy to find?

It's the standard turbo on a Newage STi... So anyone upgrading will be selling

Vf34 might be slightly better but will cost more in all honesty not worth it!

Also get your fuel pump upgraded as well as you'll be pushing it harder and if it's still original it'll be getting on a bit!

Also budget for a new clutch!

So best just to stick with the vf35? I shall get a fuel pump walbro 255?

I have just recently had a new exert clutch fitted about 3k ago?

No need for an Sti top mount other wise as above vf35 pink injectors full decatt and a mapper who knows what their doing

ScoobyStu 11-09-2012 04:56 PM

Obviously I was going to put what all the others have but they've beat me to it..... ;-)

If its the exedy stage 1 clutch you should be fine, not sure what the OE replacements can take?

As C.J says you can get away without the sti top mount, personally I'd fit it with the correct scoop and undertray just to be on the safe side, particularly if you plan to give it some beans (as in proper track shaped ones).

Fuel pump wise a Walbro should suffice well it's still working in mine at 440!

Take a look at my thread or c.js for that matter to see a bugeye project.

Thanks I will have a look at both of ur project threads get some ideas etc! :doubleup:
