You first have to determine what you want from your scooby, drag car?, auto-x?, rally?, track day *****?

Suspension mods will give you more bang for the buck, but the first thing I tell everyone to get is good summer tires and dedicated snow tires. Power and handling mods don't mean **** if you can't put it to the pavement. I run Azenis and Nokian Hakka's.

intake silencer delete/ k&n drop in filter
TBE/header up-pipe
UTEC tuned to 17psi
Fuel Pump
Injectors/rails
FMIC

id recommend a larger turbo, maybe an STi turbo or other after market turbo, ur stock turbo will be almost maxed out and not last long...

[Tommy_Kira]

still somthing about 17 psi on stock internals...a honda cant handle 12 for very long...but if your sure...what boost controler do you reccomend..and can i get a pre-flashed utec for 17..or do i got get it tunned...(id do it myself but i want it to run )

the utec comes w/ an auxilary boost controller (ABC), this way u can switch between maps, (there r 9 maps)...
as long as u have the supporting mods for 17psi u can get a pre-flash utec.
once u go to a bigger turbo u can run around 19-21psi safely.

and u cant compare a subaru w/ honda.

[Tommy_Kira]

ok that sounds good...and i was comparing PSI...you cant comapir a honda with a go-ped. lol....sorry if anyone here likes hon-duhs...

[Tommy_Kira]

ok one more question..im a big subie fan..but i dont know much about their capabilities...is 350 AWHP a good goal...this is ganna be a true daily driver...and in the winter..im not looking for a show car drag car track car or anything..just a good looking fast well handling car that can do anything decent be it drag or track or street ( im not into shows at all) is 350 AWHP to much for a daily driven WRX?

not really.. i know someone that had a wrx with around 330awhp, and he drove it daily.. hope you have a strong leg for the clutch though lol

[Tommy_Kira]

heh yea. i use to drive a dsm. (ACT 2600) my left leg is considerably stronger. lol what kind of et's will i be gettin with a 350 AWHP car. and no wieght reductions...i like the guts of my car to stay IN my car lol. it is a grocery getter and a track car at the same time after all. the only question i have is were to store my spare tire while racing lol.

[puckaveli]

What kind of "racing" do you plan on? If it's anything with turns your money would be better spent on racing schools and suspension mods.

[snicklous]

the first mod i would do is the exhaust or a good type of engine management ( Cobb A.P., Cobb S.T., UTEC etc.), then ofter these two i would get the turbo w/ injectors, fuel rail, fuel pump and FMIC. i have a '03 suby w/ tbe, tb, sti inj., walbro 255 lph fp, vf-34 turbo, with a cobb a.p. for e.m. with boost set at 17.5 psi. roughly 315 hp 295 ft lb w/o the tb.
