stants Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 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 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 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] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
