tony_cousins Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 (edited) Been a little busy playing with the car the last few days in the pursuit of a little more power My plans are to take my Wrx to its limits and see how far i can go before i need to upgrade to a 2.5 lump Currently the car is running 285bhp/286ftlb but i want a little more so will be adding the following new toys to the car Mods to be added are as follows: TD05 18g sti injectors full 3inch decat system Fuel pressure regulater Front mount intercooler Walbro Fuel pump Perrin Inlet Pipe Future mods are Blobeye front end Wide arches also liking the 3 dr look http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h21/jamb.../Racecar054.jpg Roll cage Interior stripped out New anti roll bars and droplinks Bigger brakes plus a few more bits !!!!!! Plus a Simtek ecu and map by Jolly Green Monster Here are a few pics of whats been done so far Tdo4 turbo next to Tdo5< you can see the size difference !!!!! Lots of cursing when bolts would not undo !!!!! Old 2.5inch Exhaust system next to new 3 inch Zero Sports exhaust, will need some cleaning stuff now New Downpipe, nice and shiny Downpipe lagged and ready to go on the car, the most itching stuff in the world ( according to Pele ) Turbo and downpipe fitted ( with a few scraped knuckles !!!!! ) Got the Fuel pressure reg and injectors waiting to go on the car, but my next job is to fit the front mount , which i think will be a little bit of fun And i would like to say thanks to my 2nd mechanic Pele for handing me tools and finding lost bolts etc Will post up pics when i have done some more to the car which wont be long Tony Edited March 12, 2008 by Loony Toon Link to comment

turbo2000wagon Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Looks good, my classic is running an 18G with similar mods mapped by Simon at Jolly Green Monster. I read a few threads about injector o-rings leaking but in the end fitted them myself without any problems. Good luck with the mods, don't know what HP/torque mine is running now as it was set up on the M49 but it's pretty frantic! Link to comment
swifty1981 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Can always use a hand matey Wont be doing much till sat now though but then its front mount time !!!!! what are the injectors on a standard on a wrx? i still dont no if mine has a chip in it or not Link to comment
dazzlers82 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 what are the injectors on a standard on a wrx? i still dont no if mine has a chip in it or not 380cc mate prob only good for max of 300bhp think when jgm mapped mine they maxxed out just over 1bar so had it set at 1 bar Link to comment

Pele Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 good on you tony for doin yourself front mounts are easy to fit its the cutting of the front bumper that is horrible an the injectors cant be to bad api fitted mine an serviced car an mapped while i waited took about 4 hours to do it all Guess who will probably be getting the cutting job as well as bumper removal as Tony seems to think all he needs is a hammer to remove it :lol: And yes the down pipe was a pleasure to do, not! I'm still itching from that lol - note to self check what th heat wrap is made of and wear clothing and gloves to suit accordingly.... Link to comment
tony_cousins Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Guess who will probably be getting the cutting job as well as bumper removal as Tony seems to think all he needs is a hammer to remove it And a bloody hard yank too !!! Gonna have fun doing it though lol Link to comment
mikkers Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Thats an expertly wrapped downpipe! Is it the sticky backed stuff or has is just got the retaining wire, iv heard soaking it in water first can help, did you bother doing that? Going to try and do mine when i decat it but its going to look less like a downpipe and more like an egyptian mummy. Have you figured a new gearbox in this, esp if you want to go to 2.5.
