z1000 Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Take it your trying to explain what you've bought to the insurance company and they wen't WHAT ? missus had the same with her wagon. I think a turbo 2000 is uk and wrx import ? but could be completely wrong !

rabskyline Posted July 13, 2006 Author Posted July 13, 2006 Quote Uk turbo the year you have 208bhp is that all ?? any ecu swaps/upgrades available from jap spec cars ?? as i thought they were 240bhp ??
bigdavie Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 mate a tek 3 will take you up to at least 260 bhp with a decat hth !
the squiggle Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Cant TEK3 a 97-98 ECU. 99 onwards for that process You can fit a Import ECU to a UK car but you need to alter a few things to get it to run. Plus it will be mapped for a different turbo and cams
bigdavie Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 my apologies i thought it was my 97 and above !! duly noted cheers squirrel !
nicholas_frame Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 I've got a '93 wrx and early ones like this have a closer ratio gearbox. This means fantastic acceleration (just ask newer sti pilots), but my mpg suffers as a result (23/4 on a good day). The other unusual difference i've noted is vented rear brakes where early 2000s had solid. The fronts are crappy two pot calipers as well! There's also no ABS, but I think this is only in the really early cars like mine. Power quotes tend to be unrealistic for wrx as 240-260 is based on jap 100 ron fuel. Once run on super this drops to close to uk 2000s apparently. Need to get mine on the rollers to find out output and to see if the cat back 5zigen, k&n 57i filter and running optimax make a difference. When's the next dastek day?
