Alicafster Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 How much could you get from just tuning and replace parts on a 3.0 2007 automatic? A performance builder I know offered his services to install a supercharger, is that a better idea? or both? I have a budget of appox. $ 8K Alicafster//Sweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rc0032 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 You cant tune a NA Subaru. For 8k your best bet is to buy an STI long block and ECU and put it in <- Im not joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicafster Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 I like the broad band and smoothness of the H6, why not supercharge instead of replacing the block? edit: I think the 2007 model in Sweden is equal to US 2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tune a 3.0R, but you somehow need to come up with an extra 2 channels to control the AVLS. I think they've use Hydra in the past... Ich bin echt viel netter, wenn ich nuechtern bin. Echt!

KayGT Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 If you have 8k I'd get a Turbo kit and have an H6 Turbo.....Once you have a turbo inplace the mods are easy to achieve greater power as compared to N/A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I have heard that the SC conversion is easier than turbo conversion and less expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alicafster Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 By the way... regarding the budget figures... As I live i Sweden and payed about $58K for the 3.0R Exclusive which is equal to the 2008 Bean edition. Maybe the performance budget about $5K is more accurate.

wukindada Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Ok.... so here is your plan to get another 60+hp Make your budget 8k & go with a turbo & FMIC. Supercharging has it's pluses but once over 5k it's all but done with. You should send a E-Mail to Trey or Christian @ COBB & see what they say Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!!

What are the + regarding to turbo on this modell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99 RST Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 My .02 cents: -Twin turbochargers (small GT25's would be ideal) @ 7-8psis OR -Single GT2876 or GT 30 PLUS: -CP Forged pistons (with 9.0:1 compression) -Forged rods (your choice) -Modded stock injectors to 600cc + (by RC Engineering) -Walbro fuel pump -FMIC -Engine management (HYDRA if available) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukindada Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 8k is the outer limits budget wise..... Your setup which would be VERY nice would be alot more than that Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicafster Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 the budget figure might be incorrect. as a 3.0 Bean edition with navigator costs $58 000 here in Sweden, so maybe the correct budget in US price level is more likely $5k.

BENCOB Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hello Alicafster, hope all is well for you and yours in Sweden. Now I'm no expert but I see you've been given some sound advice to consider......IMHO You've already got (considering the 3.0L displacement) a fairly powerful vehicle for your neck of the woods and looks like whatever route you go you're gonna have one helluva rocket sled for the upcoming winter!!!!!! Enjoy it and keep us posted on the developments will ya......PS: PLEASE SEND ME A BIG WIFF OF COLD AIR...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicafster Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 Well thanks Bencob. I agree that the 3.0 is pretty powerful SW. However this is a intresting project, and sure... I could buy a BMW M3 änd call it the day, but I am a entrepreneur with my own business and in Sweden its pretty stupid having a "luxury" car like a Beemer, Mercedes or any other bling bling car for "show off". You can be "too successfull" here in Sweden which scares the customers away, I dont no but I think it has to do with our socialitic heritage or just plain envy. But a japaneese Wagon made for practical use is concidered OK (that it has +350 HP and whipps a Saab Aero or a Volvo S80 V8 could be our little secret ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
