Ohhhhhhh just another 10 BHP

[irish al]

Am itching to get over the 300BHP mark with my car without changing the turbo.

Any suggestions how i may get the extra 10-15 BHP.

Thought about sti intercooler and scoop with water spray !!!! but not sure if this would help or just keep things cooler..

[dougster]

Injectors, IC and induction kit with remap?

Not cheap for a few extra ponies? Who cares with that torque figure anyway.

[4Hero]

lose the beer belly?

[imprezapete]

APS cold air induction kit and and Sti intercooler, scoop and undertray.

i think that should put you over 300 mark

[Gumball]

aye, either just get a cold air induction with a feed through the fog

or pick up a sti turbo from fleebay and get andy to tweak the map for a few quid

sorted

get it mapped with octane booster in it is something you could do also

[irish al]

I was looking at an sti intercooler on ebay but its up at £510. Must be some mad scots man bidding on it

[wrxmania]

Very true! It must be...

Pick up an STI turbo or get Andy to do you a lovely exchange turbo.

Al wat is the curant state of tune as i am running at 289 bhp and 298 lbft acording to dasteks rollers.my next upgrades are sti injectors,bigger fuel pump,tdo5 with18 g conversion and acording to the doc that should be good for around 380bhp and lbft

As above higgy.

[dougster]

Aye, pour another drink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thought ye were offline mate.

[higgy]

Al what is the bore of your exhaust as mine is ristricting top end power so i need 1 other thing....... a three inch systom that is not too loud as the nabours called the fuzz last week.

higgy

[higgy]

oh and another thing since you changed the headers and up pipe have you had any problems with the exhaust gas temp sender flaging up the engen managment light .

higgy

[irish al]

Not sure but i think its a 3" downpipe with 2.5" after that.

Never had any problems with exhaust gas temp, touch wood.

[higgy]

unfortunatly we r both at the limits of our turbos in there standard form and it is not economical to mod them as you be aswell upgrading to a 18g or 20g tdo5 for a few more bob

higgy

[weeb]

strip the interior and add go faster stripes!! apparently that is worth 50bhp! i was lucky enough to shat my engine and inherit a secrect weapon breaking the 300bhp barrier!

fuel pump, regulator, headers, turbo, bigger injectors and the andy f touch will see you WELL over 300bhp! not to mention a much smaller bank balance!

[andrew_forrest]

For an additional 20bhp you could go for the hybrid conversion based on your existing TD04, the advantage here is that it retains a very wide power band and instant response for back road blasts.

For +40/50 the 05-16 or for +60/80 05-18

<< Am itching to get over the 300BHP mark with my car without changing the turbo. >>

Hey man. Have often wondering a similar thing with my scoob! I think my plan was to try and improve the overall response of the car with a few lightened parts such as the Flywheel and drive pulley, turbo hose and also was going to go for a STi or similar sized top mount intercooler to replace the OE one on my classic, however all of this will happen when i can afford

Was not sure if it would increase the bhp enough after a remap to take you over the 300bhp, to be honest mate i recon just change the turbo and remap as most other things end up costing you similar money anyway plus you get more bhp for ya money!
