Sti tmic > all

Only really need to swap to fmic when pushing 300-350+

Ok well what things should I start upgrading first to get to 300

This will decimate all after you put atleast 15 grand in it

Try this
This will give you a spread of what's been tried and tested and what power were obtained

Not sure if you're asking for 300hp or 300kw atw

Too much power means more stress on other parts apart from the motor, like gearbox, drive shafts, etc
Plus, unless you're using the power on a straight line or....trying to get the bitches wet

Trying to get 300 kw

If you wanted to try reach 400hp why didn't you purchase a STi that has a stronger block (ej257) as opposed to the ej255 and go from there?

Hope you have 15-20k put aside...

Ambitious to say the least, but have a look at some of the driveway threads to get an idea of what you can get for what money you are willing to spend.

15-20k might get you there...30-40+ to do it properly...

Or get tino's STi

Seems like a lot of effort to justify a new intercooler.

Sell the subaru and buy a Evo if you want big power......

Bring on the haters

Yeah, upgrading to a tmic should bring you up to 300kw easy. Don't bother with the exhaust/tune, that's just for fools.

Alrighty then sounds good any good getting carbon fiber Bonnet ?

What ever it takes

Out of curiosity, if you are so power hungry, why did you buy a four cylinder?

Not power hungry just looking for simple upgrades for my car

You won't touch 300kw with 'simple upgrades for your car'

300hp maybe, but even that is starting to stretch it.

lol

GRB Top mount intercooler
Sard Fuel Rails
Bosch 2000cc injectors
VF49 Twin scroll turbo with stainless steel headers and 3inch full exhaust
Link G4+ Extreme wire in ecu
E85
EJ207 with spec c manifold

I just got 310hp...

Sell your wrx, buy STi and then start playing...

Option 2

Ej207 block
ver. 7 STI top mount
Wiseco forgies
1mm overbore for 2050cc capacity
Manley rods
Arp head studs & case bolts
Brian crower 272 cams
4.5kg billet flywheel
balanced rotating assembly
Modified heads
VF34
ECU & Tune
Bp Ultimate 98
All up around $9k for 312hp (233kw) at the hubs.

Sells WRX, buys F6. 300kW out of the box. Done.

But, you're probably going to want a new intercooler for that too....

How old are you Loch11? And have you ever even been in a wrx with 200kwatw? Do you plan on tracking the car?

You have a modern wrx, you already are much faster than most people ;)

True that haha

(it's just slower than the old school Wrx's)

Is that like when someone tells me I must be slow because no STI? Sad Alex...

1. Learn to drive it properly so you don't understeer into a tree.

2. Exhaust, fuel pump & tune (verso or Ecutek) for +30-40kw at the hubs

3. Suspension mods to make it handle 'properly'

4. Fit bigger turbo & retune +40-50kw

In a nut shell an intercooler will not make you more power - Tunes & Boost make power

[QUOTE=astralex;799801]Is that like when someone tells me I must be slow because no STI? Sad Alex...[/QUOTE]

hahaha...... a badge is worth 200kw Alex!

That's why I got the Spec C wheel, STI gearknob, STI radiator cap, STi billet oil filler cap, STI intercooler to TB hose and the STI battery holder.

1200KW... And still great fuel economy

Thanks fuck that's all I wanted to know haha
