300+ Kw WRX
Jason Rouse (Quakeman)
Im wondering if anyone can help me with something.
I own a silver MY 99 WRX completely standard. Now I have come into quite
alot of money recently and I wish to spend it all on my car. What I am
aiming for is to get 300Kw Plus from my car. I have seen your car and
obviously you would know what to do to get that kind of power.
Could you let me know what mods would need to be done in order to get this
power. Or if possible more than 300Kw, the more the better. Please let me
know the rough cost of each upgrade.
I am aiming for 0-100 times in the area of 4 sec flat or quicker. I have
seen a standard Wrex, with few mods do 0-100 in 3.9s
Thanks
Jason Rouse

throw away the rest of the rex too, and just use the stock gts parts.
All I can say is power costs - either money now or when the over stressed
parts give up later.
This is part of why a ferrari costs so much, their motors have have to last
at least 100k before a rebuild.

withstand those sorts of poweroutputs.
Starting with oversize mains, stock crank prob won't hold up too well so
you'll either have to get another one built up or do alot of work on it, not
to mention rods and bigends, pistons....
And thats befoe you're even incresed the hp.
The obvious is a Links or Possum controller combined with a huge hybrid
turbo.. (T3/T4 combo may cut it), huge frontmounted intercooler, and
possibly water/methanol injection, not to forget adding anther injector or 2
or 3! and replacing the orginals with larger units, surge tank and
additional fuel pumps, larger throttle body and reversing it to shorten the
inlet track..
This is still all before touching the suspension in the form of shocks,
springs, sway and torsion bars, wheels and tyres..
Blah blah blah blah blah...
What sort of dollars have come across as you could easily polish off 100k on
a motor alone.

Or he could buy the Jans speed engine which has all this done to it
plus is 2.2 in capacity...
will need bigger turbo of course
front mount intercooler is a good idea no matter wot...

There is a publication called "Fast WRXs" put out by Australian Fast Fours & Rotaries that
has an article you might like. It takes a bog standard WRX with 155kw and step by step adds on
stuff that increases the power & exactly how much they affect output.
They do the :-
exhaust,
air box,
STi chip,
link & boost,
extractors,
HKS ball-bearing turbo
camshafts,
solid lifters
All these mods give the damn thing a total of 269+ Kw (361hp).
Haven't seen the same article done with a standard 160kw WReX yet.
Kind regards,
Dave.

I nearly bought a 280kW WRX, but in the end, the insurance was a
little too ridiculous and I ditched the deal.
Maybe you should go talk to the guys at Race Torque, since they were
acting as the agent for the guy trying to sell it.
It had an STi III engine, big turbo, big boost, retuned ECU (a full
Autronic setup with antilag). I found it impossible to use this car as
a daily driver, but when on boost, it was totally awesome. A word of
warning, it had gone through about 5 gear boxes in its time, and I
think that your diffs and CVs replacement bill will be high. I was
planning to detune it and only run it at 24psi when doing club days.
The price was about $45k and it was based on a 97 WRX.
Oh yeah, it had a beautiful suspension and brake setup too.. full
credit to the guys at Race Torque. It was lowered and on 18" wheels,
but it felt smoother and less choppy on the road than my MX-5.. pretty
awesome.

22b impreza tested and they only quoted 5.2-5.4 0-60mph Then they had a fixed
up US RS with turbo etc and it did 0-60 in 5.0-5.1. I thought that the 22b
will do -60 in less that 5.0 but off course those dudes were americans not
used to shift with the left hand and also they said that the clutch was giving
up...
