Gator GT Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hmmm... Looks like the engine mount is directly below the turbo. Do you think there will be enough room for bigger turbos, with that engine mount hugging the oem turbo like that? Actually, if you look at the picture with all the hardware in yellow, it looks like the mount is in FRONT of the turbo, and that's where the bottom of the "V" brace mounts. THAT'LL hinder going larger on the turbo until someone re-works a new motor mount. ...or changes the location of the turbo, like recently mentioned. ...it's almost like Subaru is TRYING to thwart modifications!

captainhook Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Wow, nice pics! So are the headers equal length or aren't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasopoliS Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Wow, nice pics! So are the headers equal length or aren't they? We really have no clue, the pics are JDM not USDM. It could be totally different for USDM, but not that far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syndicate Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 ...it's almost like Subaru is TRYING to thwart modifications! ...wouldn't be the first time a manufacturer has done that, but I seriously doubt that's the case. The new location allows for a quicker spool and light off of the cat. I don't think they sat down and thought, how can we keep people from modifying the car.

apexjapan Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I've got a feeling that the 2.0-liter turbo automatic versions will be a twinscroll turbocharger, and the 2.5-liter manuals will be a single scroll turbocharger. New compressor and hotside castings to make, oh joy. Turbo's up to 380 sizing should be doable, but we won't know about anything larger than that till we open it up. Fun fun. The power curves are totally bogus - I worked with one of the japanese manufacturers for over 10 years, and have personally "created" many power curves for just these releases, and every time they had me, ahem, massage them for something that looks much better than the reality. The ones posted are just optimistic estimates that they know the Japanese audience will eat up (since they are the same audience that auctually believes every turbo subaru produces 280ps...).

apexjapan Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I don't have a date yet, but have been told that we'll have one as soon as they are released, if not a bit sooner.

ultimakf7 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 It would be interesting to see if that turbo setup is swappable to the BL/BP Legacies. looks like you would have to replace everything from the headers back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Perry Subaru in Norfolk had one of the new Leggys in for the meet last weekend. I was unable to attend but I could check to see if they still have it or if it was brought down by the SOA rep. http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj305/Mitch_9_23_60/2010leggyatPerry.jpg http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj305/Mitch_9_23_60/2010leggyatPerry2.jpg http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj305/Mitch_9_23_60/2010leggyatPerry3.jpg If I'm going faster than you, Move Right.

f1anatic Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Good luck with the turbo swaps. It will require lots of retooling for all these vendors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuben Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Lol... Does the plate read "touring wagon"?!!?!?!?!?

Ridgeracer Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 interesting......great find guys....I was thinking about the mod side of things for this car for a while...BTW...I won't miss the boxer sound either if it's EL headers. It would fall in line with getting the NVH similar to an Accord or Camry.. "Gimme mines Balboa...Gimme mines".....Clubber Lang - Mr. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerboa113 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 the engine rendering doesn't appear to have power steering?? turbo right there seems like it will cause a lot of heat stress on the front engine cover and accessory belts.. may also cause problems with oil temps?

Guest Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 How about if we keep this thread focues on the turbo/engine aspect of the new car only, mmmkey? There are multiple threads where to diss the rest of the car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniStiGuy Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I think that the turbo will get a good spool up but wont be able to hold on up top much like the vf40. I to think that the US market though will get the short end of the stick yet once again with the features especially when involving the engine.
