prodriver1 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Some seriouse questions for some seriouse car people. I have over 222,xxx miles on my Outback 2.5 manual, its driven very very very hard but still runs very well. My intetions are to have a 300hp, (N/A 4sure), rally champ. I also want to lift it about 2". I also want it to continue the extreeme reliability thing with beefed up everything. Im also thinking 4 STi seats . I cant find any of this stuff so a little help would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_rex Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 that's alot of work and $$, good luck. Given the rally heritage of the impreza, you might have better luck at nasioc. dR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakuun Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 300 HP from our N/A? In my car, that would spell a 135HP increase.. Is there even enough mods available for our N/A's to hit that mark? Even at the crank? I bet it's cheaper to buy a WRX/STi engine.. GL.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebpda9 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 unless you feel like dumping some serious cash, and time in your engine i doubt the engine will make the extra 150hp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prodriver1 Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 I have been looking @ some built N/A engines but they are around $7k. I have been thinking alot about super charging, (the turbine type, forgot what its called). I was also wondering if the 6spd STi trans has different gear ratios depending what year, and which one is the strongest. I know this will be $$ but thats the price for excellence, for me subaru is the only choice. I also want to stay away from the crappy WRX (subaru USA f@#$ed up that car).

prodriver1 Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 Thats not what Im going for. I want a 97' Legacy Outback (NOT sport) for the rest of my life. I have driven hundreds of cars in ALL price ranges and nationalities and the AWD, reliability and performance are unmached, and Im not blind, Im a huge huge car guy. I love all kinds of cars from muscle cars to rice rockets to euro crusers, but as the perfect package the Outback has it all for me. Back to topic the car is chiped, scratched, and dented, and it will stay that way till it rusts to the ground but the engine and drivetrain will dominate. I want to school even STi's on the street and still make it to the mud pit to school jeeps (which I already do, The jeep part not the STi part) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engine swap FTW, it's the only TRUE way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna swap with a Craford S3L Semi-closed and then mate it with the 6-speed STi. Its gonna be alot of work and $$$, but its gonna be a blast and I'm gonna have a big killer on my hands since its lighter than STi's and LGT's D JDM'd All to hell Thanks Jimmy @ Hkc-Speed.com!

Awesome plans you got. I just like the way N/A feels, sounds, and responds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aczwild Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Oh I love my NA, too. Love the sound (expecially with my GP-Moto intake) and the feel of the car. If it came stock with 250 hp, NA, or that was easy to attain with mods then I'd stick with it and not plan on going with boost, but I would like that huge amount of power in such a hot and sexy car. I'd love to do the build up, if not with my own GT, then with a '99 Outback wagon, repainted all white, with the GT wagon rear spoiler and hood, the Boosted Crawford block and a powder coated black FMIC to deliver the cooling goods.
