ivanbad Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 I have decided to get myself Altezza RS200 if I sell my car B) Hopefully in one or two month I will have it. I am not familiar with NA cars (wrx is my first car), so I need some info about modifications. First thing I am going to buy a filter and full exhaust. What should I do next? What else can I do? I do not want to do a turbo or supercharger because it will be difficult to sell the car in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what you can do... -Apex-i Intake (Extremely hard to find) -HKS Racing 4-2-1 Header -HKS Hiper Exhaust -Apex-i S-AFC II After this...expect an 40 hp + increase at the wheels Matt :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanbad Posted January 5, 2004 Author Share Posted January 5, 2004 How many kilowatts at the wheels (atw)? Filter AU$200 AFC-II AU$500 Exhaust AU$1500 Headers AU$2000 So for around $5000 I can get 40hp. Will it go from 0-100 under 6 seconds or low 6s? Thanks for help ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for help ;) Filter (HKS) - $100 AUD S-AFC II (Apex-i) - $500 AUD Exhaust (HKS Hiper) - $570 AUD Headers (HKS Racing) - $1xxx AUD Plus Shipping and Labour - so around $2500 you will get 40 + hp...these prices are off course only if you get them from me (Japan / Hong Kong) in Aus? good luck or ask Naroka and Reverbs how much they are suffering.....lolz...

zee007 Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Welcome to the club Ivan, There are a large number of tuning options available for the Altezza. You can spend small amounts (for minimal gains) to considerable cash for large gains (ie turbo/charger etc). Flywheel, exhaust, induction, manifold, coilovers, roll-bars etc are all available. I would look around at different brands no matter what you want. For example, a HKS induction isn't as effective as a Blitz, but an Apexi/Trust may be louder. Same principle behind exhausts - TRD, Blitz, HKS, Apexi all do exhausts. Take a look at the folloing site for an idea of all the tuning options available. Click Me! Hope this helps.

ivanbad Posted January 6, 2004 Author Share Posted January 6, 2004 Thanks for the info. $2500 for all these parts!!! It is cheap I spent same money just on my exhaust!!! WRX parts are expensive I already have 18” by 7.5” Racing Heart wheels on my car, so I do not have to buy new wheels, I will put them on RS200. I will have around $5000 to spend on mods. I have done a bit of research on the net and decided to get these parts: Blitz Ram Pod Filter, Apexi Hayabusa Exhaust, Apexi S AFC-II and HKS Headers. What do you think about these mods?

Yeah it's decent...but the Blitz Pod Filter si really expensive and not really worth the money... Matt :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkgs300 Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I would also consider an optimized ECU, like one from TRD, Tom's or C-One. It will give a significant improvement :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanbad Posted January 6, 2004 Author Share Posted January 6, 2004 Yep, Blitz cost twice the price of other filters. I hope it is better than others. What about changing ecu? Is it worth it? I do not know about Altezzas, but with my car I had little gains until I changed ecu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkgs300 Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Changing the Altezza ECU is supposing giving a lot of additional power, especially at high revs. I remember seeing a TRD ECU Dyno sheet (in the TRD catalog) which said that the engine power went up to 262hp.
