Pawlwawl06 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 install guide is here: http://www.omods.com/index.php/mods_article/subaru_guides_wrx_0204_engine_phenolic_spacer_intall_guide Looks like it may take a while to install. Btw, are you using any aftermarket end links or brackets for your Rallitek sway set? Yeahh aftermarket Rallitek endlinks in the rear! I haven't looked under the car lately, so I have no clue whats going on down there. I think my front endlinks are still holding up, no unusually clunking that I have noticed.

Jmhm17 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 that intake gasket by grimmspeed is only advertised to work on the LGT.. does the intake bolt up to the motor the same way? is it the same IM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katalyst Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 that intake gasket by grimmspeed is only advertised to work on the LGT.. does the intake bolt up to the motor the same way? is it the same IM? we have members on here running it on their 2.5i so it fits for sure i don't see why the LGT would even need them since they have plastic intake manifolds that don't nearly heat up as much during normal engine operation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.sane Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 There's a N/A specific version if you check their site more closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_J Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 ^ yeah I saw they had a non-turbo part SOA probably would honor warranty as long as no claims were made to related parts such as intake manifold, etc. Maybe if I had a Subaru dealer install the spacer they might be cool with it. But I can see them trying to make excuses to not honor engine warranty potentially if any mods were done to engine area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmhm17 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 another question, i have been doing some research on the "boxer rumble" and i have found tons of hits on uel headers by borla and GTspec.. it says in the writeup that theres a group by going on (looks like its custom).. is the borla and gtspec headers an option, or will these only work with alot of modification.. im really interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawlwawl06 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I went on ebay and picked up a borla replica header, you can find them for around $150 bucks. Some some they are higher in quality than the authentic Borla headers because the Borla headers tend to crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shtbxr22 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 shoulda bought my Turbo Manifold. coulda had it modded to fit for cheaper......maybe? $50, anyone? EJ20G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawlwawl06 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 ^^really?? geez i thought you had the stock 2.5i manifold for sale, oops. Well if these guys don't carry the borla replica (having got an order confirmation yet), im sure ill consider yours. Don't know if it will be that cheap to get it modded though. I went to Meineke the other day and they wanted $300 bucks for a custom y-pipe, yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polatinte Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I was on the phone with Eibach the other day, and the guy told me that the springs would not allow for the same drop as they do in the GT due to the weight differences. Is there really a significant weight difference? Or is this really just something they have to say to protect against customers having problems with a fraction of an inch difference? Besides, "obsessive" is just a term the lazy use for people that are thorough -fishbone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there really a significant weight difference? Or is this really just something they have to say to protect against customers having problems with a fraction of an inch difference? As far as lowering springs goes, anything used on the GT can be used on te 2.5i no problem. Our cars are a little lighter than the GT/Spec.B, but there's gonna be a very marginal difference. It's like the difference between having a passenger and not having one. I've had springs that were "meant for a GT" for over a year now without any issues.

D_J Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 How's the performance with that intake? You removed the entire air panel...wow. I think driving in the rain/snow might be an issue unless you install some sort of sheild? I'm waiting to see how Hanger likes the Zero Sports custom intake for our 2.5i. He had to special order it.

lufergupdown Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I guys,I'm new on here My dad just bought an 06' legacy 2.5i which I think is a lot more fun than our old 98' legacy but it needs more power. I was thinking about getting an air intakes system. I've been looking around and only seem to find short ram intakes.Is there anyway The cold air intakes on the GTs can work for the 2.5i's??If no, can any of you point my in a good direction for short ram intakes?? Thanks for your help and great info so far!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onthewagon Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Welcome. I don't think you'll really see a noticeable increase in power from an intake. I have an AVO filter and the Spectre hybrid intake mod on my car, and I don't notice any difference while driving the car. I did my mods with the hope of increasing fuel economy, and I think it's working, but I don't have enough real-world data yet to make claims one way or the other. Check out the first page of this thread regarding some mods which may provide some increase in power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no, can any of you point my in a good direction for short ram intakes?? Thanks for your help and great info so far!! the intake piping is different on the GTs due to the turbocharging, so none of the intakes are compatible. but most would just suggest sticking with a panel filter since there can be issues with the ram intakes which are briefly discussed on the first post as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
