April 12, 201510 yr Hi I've got a 1998 Impreza wagon turbo 2000, uk , I've got a engine number of 342779 , can anybody explain more from this or give me any advice to find out exactly what I'm working with? Thanks
April 12, 201510 yr Hi mate welcome, Have a look through this, decodes vin & engine numbers here http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/index.php?/topic/3286-Model-Codes-for-JDM-and-UK
April 12, 201510 yr Author Thanks in all honesty that's just mashed my head mate lol , I've looked through it and got myself no where
April 12, 201510 yr What's the number on your vin plate? And what information are you looking for exactly ? Assuming it's standard. I'm guessing it's an ej20 G or K engine, around 220 bhp with a td series trubo.
April 12, 201510 yr What info are you after bud ? Max power from the internals /drivetrain ? Version type? (you need to know this when searching for replacement/upgraded parts) Or just oe spec ?
April 12, 201510 yr Author Hi mate I'm trying to find out what engine/block I've got in it to start with , and then yea all of the above lol , sorry if I seem abit thick ha
April 12, 201510 yr No problem fella "scoob" is like a different language but once you understand the basics the rest is plain sailing . Generally uk turbos are based on the wrx (same internals and cams) with a longer ratio box and different trim than their jdm wrx counterparts . Of course it does depend on exact year and condition but a my98 uk will have a tdo4 turbo pushing about 0.7 bar producing 220 hp . Typical "breathing" mods and a uprated fuel pump (just in case the original is a bit tired and fails) with a remap will max the turbo @ about 1.3 bar 270hp ish . Next level of tune would be yellow 440cc injectors (if yours has greys 380cc) with a tdo5 or vf turbo you should see 320hp after a remap . 350 hp is about the max for internals and drivetrain (so it gets fairly expensive after then ) Your block type will probably be open deck As for the engine version if the coil pack is in the centre it's a v3/v4 (phase 1.5 /inlet fuel set up) If the coilpack is of set to the right as you look at the engine then it's a v5/v6 (phase 2 inlet/fuel set up) Ask away if I haven't answered or confused a issue [emoji6]
April 12, 201510 yr Author Okay Cheers mate , I'll have a check tomorrow as its locked away and will get back to you :) thanks again
