RiffRat Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Anybody have any luck finding a CAI for the 3.0R? I have sent some pics to HiProSpeed (at their request to my inquiry), but haven't found any other options. Does the CAI off any other model fit?

Cassius Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hello, I have a 3R as well and after reading what the guys on the forum have said, I decided against a CAI, and will just use a high performance drop in filter. But if you want to go down that road, you will have to remove the stock air intake box (there is a post showing how to do that, just do a search) and connect the filter etc for the CAI to the stock inlet pipe or you can have a custom made air inlet pipe made with the necessary bends for the CAI to be connected to.

edekba Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 There isnt a CAI for the 3.0R as far as i know. PM BoostJunkie, he made a custom one for his wife's trifucka (same ez30 engine) that he said made it very nice... and offered to make one for me when he had time, but i havent really bugged him 'bout it.

808subaru Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I have a drop in filter as well. Maybe we should start a thread with 3.0r members posting up a mod list? Atleast they finally got a FSB option manufactured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edekba Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 well. Maybe we should start a thread with 3.0r members posting up a mod list? . That's a good idea... there arent that many parts out there for us ... but then again ppl will flame that we're just heavy, over glorified 2.5i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, this is my 3rd subaru. I have a wrx, and had a legacy gt. I KNOW what boost feels like. I wanted something different. People can flame, but we all still drive subarus, right?

Golf4283 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 yea. Like I said with the compression our engines are already running at, throwing boost into it is gonna be dangerous. That's why I think I'm gonna wait till my warranty is up as well and just replace the engine and turn this car into more of a racer than a D/D when I buy my next care in 6+ years.

808subaru Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Very exciting stuff! I too would like to get this motor (or a possible swap) to atleast 280ish WHP and 320ish WTQ, only b/c it weighs so much more than the other legacy models. Keep the dream alive fellas.

mrmako Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Yeah, I wouldn't mind more power. I'll probably drop an Apexi or Greddy (I know they just filed for bankruptcy, but their parts are still out there) air filter and leave it alone until the warranty expires. I'll poke around over here and see if there's anything other than the typical UP/DP/exhaust and a tune. I think that is pretty much it anyway. It's funny, people talk about the turbos, well, the 2.5 and the 2.0 (here) have an issue with heat soak, so the turbo is really not a big deal. I like the linear power I get.
