Scooby Pete Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Welcome to the club. After a bit of googling best I can come up with is 177 bhp. Pretty sure one of the Fozzie owners will have the right figure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Oh my bad non turbo. No you will be better off trying to get less weight and look at brakes suspension that sort of thing to get the best out of it I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozyDave Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 In his first post he said it IS turbo. There should be some mods around, not sure about the ECU though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 It is the turbo version lol.is it the non turbo that has the 177bhp then? Mine is a W reg forrester 2.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Its this shape but on a W plate in manual http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/52-SUBARU-FORESTER-S-TURBO-AWD-AUTOMATIC-SILVER-NEW-MOT-LEATHER-VERY-QUICK-CAR-/151311346483?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item233adbeb33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 If it's a turbo version I'd have thought it would be based on a uk classic which has 215 to 220 depending on year . Tbo stanton would have a better idea of which impreza bits fit the foz [emoji6] With a Pannel filter , sports cat and a remap then you should see 260/270 .

BoozyDave Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 the foz that gambit posted is the sti/stb variant. they are about 330bhp as standard B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 Mine isn't 300bhp that's for sure lol.It does goes well and handles like !Removed! lol.Just ordered a second hand indicator lens for it as the front is missing from it showing the bulb.The lens on the front fog is missing and I need a washer jet for the front bumper.Some idiot has put to much oil in the engine as well Not sure what the tyre pressures are surposed to be on the fozi either.There 16inch with big tyres lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skiv Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Download an app called "mycarcheck" slap your reg in and it might tell you the rough bhp of your motor :) not sure how accurate the app is tho Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skiv Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Ah sometimes it tells the bhp sometimes it doesn't try googling the specs of the vehicle? Probably have as everyone turns to google lol Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Have you had a look at the side of the TMIC see if it has a heat shield for the turbo ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
