njwrestler07 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 What is the difference in the sti motor and the lgt motor? Is it a different turbo or something? Also, am i better off trying to find the spec.b because it has the 6-speed trans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudeondacouch Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 what year sti? what year lgt? there are a lot of differences. the biggest difference is that the LGT motor is made almost entirely of cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTATV Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 depends on what you want to do to it. if you want to make a high HP monster the 6 speed can hold a lot more power. I have an 06 spec.b which has the 5 speed and im pushing 285hp and 316tq with no issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HipsterDoofus Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I hear theres no oil on earth thats good enough for the Spec B. You have to use unicorn blood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an 06 spec.b which has the 5 speed and im pushing 585hp and 616tq with no issues Why would you need more power than the Spec B already has? Those numbers I quoted are beast and that's stock!

johnAWD Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 an 05 lgt and an 05 sti, so the engines are completely different or what?, i just want to know if i can make a lgt fast enough to beat up on sti's My '05 makes 400 awhp. If an STI has similar mods, it'll be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Stg2 tuned lgt beats up on Stg2 tuned STis. You will,be racing them on a closed course dragstrip, right? I wish there was a forum on the internet that has been active since 2004 that has covered this information so we could search it and find the answers. Such is life.

BoozeRS05 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 is the turbo different in both cars? Motor's are the same :whoa:, its a smaller turbo, intercooler and tune on the LGT. Get an uppipe, downpipe and stage 2 tune, and you'll hang with STi's. Read through the different technical subforums and stickeys, and search topics.

Max Capacity Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Ya know, I have been on this forum for a while and have wondered the same thing. I guess a lot of us have better things to do then sit on the couch and read forums all day. I do work with a Tuner, so if I have questions and can always ask him. He knows my HP goals and say's for a good stage 2 set up the stock rods are fine. When I rebuild the engine next spring I'll get new rod bolts have the heads freashed up block honed or bored if needed, then reassembled by a trusted shop. I'll also upgrade to a 68HTA turbo. I'm currently at stage 2 with 131,700 miles. I'll do a sti oil pump and Gates timing belt. The car will hang with Mustang GT's now. Not bad for a station wagon. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Irimis Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Its a forum board, and your asking questions that have been answered over and over. That comment is going to come up. Yes an LGT can hang with an STI given the mods to the LGT. But you will need to dump money in to it. A normal stage 2 LGT is around 250 WHP thats a 20% loss in drive train so thats give or take 320 hpr at the crank. This is just down pipe and tune. So depending on what you want to do our cars can be plenty fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BagheeraLGT Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 mind burns unicorn blood starting at around 2800 miles. I switched back over to gypsy tears and have been happy since ever since italy curbed their gypsy tear exports, its been hard to find some good gypsy tears. on top of that, Cairo (Egypts #1 G-Tear producer) started an embargo.... now China is mass producing, but everyone knows Chinese Gypsy tears lack chemical balancing and cannot be run through Subaru fuel lines. My advice would be to stay away.... stick with the unicorn blood for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
