CAI or RAM intake on 2.5 non turbo... still no clue


Recommended Posts

IF the intake is meant for an impreza with MAF then it might work. thats why gee-otto said impreza 08+ cause after 08, all N/A imprezas were MAF. the reason why they still might not work, is filter location. most intakes have mounts to stablize the filter end. Intakes for the impreza may not bol up right on the legacy. you one may have to make a custom bracket to make it work. also the pipe may interfere with components in the legacy engine bay.

I'll be able to check if our NA power air intake for the 08 Impreza fits the Legacy/Outback 2.5i's in a couple of days. It gets down to the MAF design, there was some differences in the actual MAF sensor used. Rest of the hard points in the engine bay are the same, which is why this ties in with our turbo kit project....

UPDATE:

The Bad News: No, the intake for the 2.5i 08 Impreza does not work. The maf design is different.

 

The Good News: That's because Subaru used the same MAF as the 2.5 LGT turbo models. I verified that by bolting in the MAF from my 2.5i outback into our power air kit for the Legacy turbo.

 

The Wait For It News: I'll fit the entire power air intake to the car tomorrow, and see how the fitment is "out of the box". I'll take some photos at that time.

Spent the day test fitting our Legacy GT power air intake to the 2.5i Outback. Well, I think the photos below tell the story even better than I can....

Is the inside diameter the same? The part number?

Don't have a LGT turbo MAF on hand to check, so can't say for certain without both back to back with some verniers. The MAF sensor is the same, which is all that matters for our intake kit.

 

I'm fairly certain that the part number on the sensor will be the same. I wouldn't be that surprised if the air box is the same, just so Subaru could keep costs down.

If the sensor itself is the same, but the internal diameter is different, then more air is flowing than the ECU thinks. It may get lean...
