GEE-OTTO Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 WTF is this? quoted from the article "SPT Intake Supercharger System" ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 ^ I'm trying to find it, with no success....which is why I posted it here, to see if that particular vehicle owner is a member here, as well as if the rest of my N/A cousins here had any ideas. I'm familiar with the AVO offering - the bolt-on turbocharger - as well as the fact that Cobb did prototype a supercharger for the H6 (Tribeca B9, back in '05), but I have never seen other mention of this SPT unit. Then again, given my lack of knowledge on the N/A side of things, I just thought that it was my ignorance. Which was why I posted! <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Well when they say supercharger they probably mean like a super high flowing intake seeing as how that is a SPT unit I would imagine some adaptation of the SPT intake for our LGT cousins. If only the ECU definitions would surface tuning and thus custom Forced induction applications could be undertaken with ease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 ^ Dunno. When I read "supercharger," I think supercharger. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f1anatic Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 must be a type or an overzealous member: Ain't no supercharger. Just an SPT intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 must be a type or an overzealous member: Ain't no supercharger. Just an SPT intake. Yeah my thoughts exactly its just a better intake but it cant be SPT and made fora 2.5i b/c SPT doesn't make and intake for the 2.5i they must have got the LGT SPT intake and adapted it to fit the 2.5i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 ^ The SPT intake ain't "better" - and I certainly hope that member didn't put an electronic supercharger onto the end of it, to further compound the error. What I'd hoped for was that Subaru had developed a one-off supercharger at one point, kinda like Cobb's supercharged B9. I wish there was an underhood shot of his car. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.sane Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Rice IMO. The 2.5i's greatest potential is the suspension since it's the same as the GT. The only suspension mod he has is a strut bar, which is basically useless. An 18x7 wheel isnt any wider than stock either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawlwawl06 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 LOL you know you love it. I'd drive it, without the decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.sane Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Haha, no thanks. I'd love to take your car for a spin though My hours got cut at work so I wont be seeing them Koni's and Rallitek sways for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 So in all that he has two real mods sounds like an article from import tuner. WTF Subaru is better than that, I hope. I feel ashamed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I drove a 2.5i I'd make it a Canyon hauler too, just like my old Acura. 1.6 litres of VTEC fury (ie: no HP ) but holy hell, did it leave everything in the dust on the way up and down from Whistler.

Jmhm17 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 amazing.... look at the guy in the picture, dose it look like hes capable of installing or even knowing where to get a s/c installed at?? or even where to find one for a 2.5i? or even for that matter know enough about the car to custom fab one.. NO.. bottom line hes a moron, he thinks an intake IS a supercharger.. when his "ice" list is bigger than his "under the hood" list, i think that speaks for its self.. and who the hell includes factory design suspension systems in a mod list??? (see "stiff stuff" list) sry.. i just hate ignorant "car guys" great im sure this just shot us 2.5i guys down a couple notches in the respect area...

TSiWRX Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Now that you NA experts have weighed-in, and made sure that I wasn't missing something. :smile: ...so, here's my complaint. We've got a whole bunch of NA members here whose rides not only knock the pants off that one in terms of ICE, but also in terms of actual performance enhancements. WTF is Drive Performance doing, by featuring something that they should *know* is going to draw scorn from true Subaru lovers? There's literally dozens of NA BL/BPs here which would be more than justified to have a feature on those pages. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pawlwawl06 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Heck, its worth a shot, I'm not sure if they would take us seriously though since we don't have our cars decked out with Subaru decals/SPT parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
