A possibly dumb question

[D3ft0n3s]

If my WRX was imported (I THINK but am not sure, it didnt come from japan, please correct me) the reason i say this is it has a 260k speedo, and the indicator switch is on the left, not the right (which is quite annoying in a manual).

Anyway, if its imported, im under the assumption its tuned to 100 octane fuel. Is it possible, or how hard is it to tune it to say 95 fuel? Will it make a difference?

Also, Does anyone know what size speakers fit in the doors (4" or 6.5")? And, how deep have i got to work with? I really want to put some pioneer 4ways in front and rear doors, then amp them to a V12 amp (wires already there) and swap out the X PLOD head unit for a pioneer. (not a sony fan)

ok so, what year is the wrx (version?) speakers generally 4 inch rear 6.5 splits front. you can squeeze the 5 inch something speakers in the back. or do some tray modifications and get some 6x9s on it with adapter spacers.

tune for 95 will loose power.

Version 7 (2002)

So no point tuning then?

How hard is it to mod the tray to get 6X9's in there? I'd like to do it, will probalby do door speakers also. Wont be goin sub, just like a nice amp that can provide the speakers with the power needed

Would it loose power? I mean if its tuned for 100 and its running on 96 wouldnt you be down on power and a bit dodgy anyway? Just a thought Im new to this.

[mattapo]

with tuning you will get more power that stock on lower octane because you will be pushing it a bit more than stock. the stock tunes are a little mild compared to what they can do

[Kiwi_Fozze]

if you custom tune for 95-98 you can squeeze out a bit more power than stock. but, as said, you will be pushing it a little harder.

if you have a garenteed supply of 98, you could squeeze a crapload more out.

sorry, mind fuzz, no tune you will be down on power over standard + detonation risk (minimal)

with a tune by someone that knows wtf they are doing, you can have a noticable increase in power, response and fuel milage.

Ok so where abouts would one be best to get one of these tunes? (i dont even know 100% certain it is tuned for 100, its just an asumption)

You should really find out the model code first.

What's your location? Some memebrs here could reflash your ECU.

Is there an england edition? The indicators being opposite screams pom like mondeo/astra/audi/vw.

[boon]

Yeah I would say it's highly likely that this is a UK Spec WRX.

Yep.

Sounds very much like an EU/UK spec WRX.

If so it will already be tuned to 95/98.

As usual give us pix !

And model code etc.

[D3ft0n3s]

yeah def a UK spec so no need for tune.

speedo is out though. 109k on speedo is 100. gps confirms. can I rectify?
