frank c Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Hello and Welcome.. I de-catted my exhaust, fitted a Green panel filter , had it re-mapped , f/rear Droplinks , Alk , and still to fit Rear Arb with h/duty mounts. ...[][Y] HTH
david_taylor Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Howdy mate There is a mixed response on here on modding the scooby. From my personal experience from my previous turbo charged motor was not good once I started messing about with mods for more BHP. I found to my pockets cost that as soon as I chipped it, put a exhaust and filter on that it put to much strain on both engine and running parts, and things started to brake. I find the scooby fast enough, but if you have the funds to spare then make sure that you get the whole package. Plus I am sure you are feeling the cost with how greedy these things are on fuel! lol! I am sure some of the other members will have advice on what to do, but I would stick with a SS Exhaust and Filter and leave it at that. Dave

STi_Bandit Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Hello mate, welcome to the forums, where abouts are you from, Martin
dougster Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 St3ph3en I think he was referring to a previous car?? I would not recommend 'chipping' an Impreza but some cars benefit with little problem at all. (VW/Audi/BMW)
st3ph3n Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Possibly. I thought he meant an Impreza. I stand to be corrected. I agree though - works on some cars, but wouldn't do it on an Impreza.
ormiboy Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 full de cat, good filter, apexi maped by andy F then happy happy joy joy! ( or ecutek ?) safe 270-290 bhp all day all night. no chips and steer clear of de cats unless you get it checked on a rolling road. willie
william_young Posted July 12, 2006 Author Posted July 12, 2006 thanks for the replys yeah the fuel that it gos through is more than i thought but that will be something to live with i suppose lol . i was thinking of the filter exhaust and dump valve hadnt thought about any ecu work . why should i get it check on a rolling road for a decat i have not done that with any of my other cars ? does it do something for the worse sorry but cant remember who asked but im from dundee i also signed up to be a member just waiting on my pack thanks for looking and hope to meet some new friends billy
frank c Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 steer clear of de cats unless you get it checked on a rolling road. Why is this Willie ??
st3ph3n Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 I'm guessing getting it checked out after a decat is to make sure the air fuel ratio is correct and that it's not detting its head off. A remap by a professional will ensure you get the most out of your mods and keep the engine safe too.
4Hero Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 welcome to SIDC mate, but I cannae see any photos? let me see, let me see []
nicholas_frame Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Why does everyone talk horsepower - the best mods I've made to my classic are adding 17" rims with Bridgestone 040s 225x45x17 and a thicker whiteline anti-roll bar with uprated drop links. Anyone can go fast in a straight line, but on a twisty road - see ya!!! However, once you get used to the speed a 2.5 conversion with hybrid turbo, de-cat, andy f re-map and nitrous etc etc gives you something to dream about at night, mmmmmm yes baby! Remember the old pirelli saying - POWER IS NOTHING WITHOUT CONTROL - look at how quick a wrc car is over a stage and power is restricted!!!! Your wallet contains all the answers.
rabskyline Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 hi and welcome ! (vulcan sign emitting !) can you remap a std ecu ??
william_young Posted July 13, 2006 Author Posted July 13, 2006 without sounding cheeky who is andy f and what does he do for the remap is he a member or someone from a garage everyone uses

It was my old Escort RS Turbo...which is now in the car park in the sky...RIP!
