Subaru786 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 HI guys I have a subaru impreza turbo 2000 1999 it is currently stock just has 450cc injectors. I was considering modifying the engine so purchased the following items. VF 28 turbo STI top mount intercooler already has 450 CC injectors i believe all it needs is a remap If anyone knows any cheap and cheerful places im all ears.

quit Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 What kind of map too , what's your budget several options out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 1999 will have 440 injectors as standard. not worth swapping to 450's, if you wanna change em then need to go to 550's o also recomend changing the spark plugs for 7's and also the fuel pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru786 Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 I am located in north Birmingham, and i dont know what map options are there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffLeggy Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 You def wont need more than the 440's so thats cool. Im not sure whos local to you but are you looking to squeeze the nuts of it or are you looking for more moderate gains? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 depends on budget and what you want to achieve ? do you want launch control / anti lag etc or just a basic system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Cheap and basic options - Eculabs Cheap and no options and more expensive than above -ECUTEK Stand alone and easy to map - Apexi More functions and pretty good system - Alkatec mega money and really really good system - syvecs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru786 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 I am looking to gain what I can from the mods I have listed if anyone has any clues what bhp can be achieved. As for launch control and anti lag etc I don't think I can have that on the standard ecu so looking for something cheap and cheerful. looking for someone who can do a remap and if possible swap the turbo and the topmount aswell?

quit Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 You can with eculabs , I hit 320ish with a vf28 but then it died on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Which version sti inter cooler you got ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru786 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 How did it die on you and after how long? I believe it is off a version 5 or a 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Was on about 8 months with no dump valve tho and a lot of abuse ! vf28 is a good turbo ! Its its a strait swap over those inter coolers takes about 20 mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru786 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Was it a brand new vf 28 turbo? Yes i thought it would be for the top mount. Do you have anyone that can do a cheap and cheerful remap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Eculabs is about 400 quid for the basic set up no you rarely find brand new ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru786 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Is that done on a dyno? What is a basic setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Dyno is extra , you don't need dyno at that level basic is just a map , no anti lag , multi map etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru786 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 It would be nice to know how much bhp car has Britt and after. any places to do basic remap for basic price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 A power run is about £70 around me. You could get a run before fitting the turbo + parts. Duncan Graham is usually at surrey rolling road and does ecutek remaps + dyno for around £550 iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 before hitting the dyno - factor in cost of a good service, oil, filters, plugs (with gap set) etc also check when the last time the fuel pump was changed - if it is the original consider a replacement, what state the coil packs are in. Point of note you can have a great engine ruined by a bad map so I would approach 'cheap and cheerful' with caution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 You can find out power on a road map some dyno are not reliable anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 As Matt says - dynos are a reading of what the car is doing at that time in relation to the ambient temperature etc - so many factors affect the readings and the same car can differ day to day - but what you will achieve irrespective of the final power figure is a car matched to the physical changes you have made.

Subaru786 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 I have all the service parts engine oil, sparks are done, diff oil etc. I have even bought my own jack stands to do it myself. A remap for £400 where is that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
