I Donated broknindarkagain Posted November 26, 2010 I Donated Share Posted November 26, 2010 A lightweight flywheel would do you good as well if you still have the trans / engine out. You can also look into getting a limited slip rear diff -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

that97lgt Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 the stage 1 exedy comes with a 12 lb flywheel i forgot to mention sry this project has been long headache after another btw i love the subie just everyturn is another road block Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Making all 3 pulleys lightweight will be useless.. the only one you'll benifit from is a lw crank If you're going for power, staying n/a.. internals will be your friend.. cams, pistons, etc.. But for these ars, the met worthwile mode will be anything suspension.. check out the 3 stickys at the top of the second gen page for all the info you need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted November 26, 2010 I Donated Share Posted November 26, 2010 I should have read that better lol. I know the Exedy stage 1 has the lighweight flywheel. I would also suggest a stand alone ecu like megasquirt or something simular. You can get a custom tune to bring out whatever hosepower all your mods give you Well ground cams will do you good as well. I highly suggest looking into a turbo upgrade though. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Zues Marine Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Id reccomend not to turbo the ej25, unless you do a hybrid build, the best you're going to get to run is around 5-10 psi max.. which will be fun no doubt, but alot of work and custom tabbing, as far as stand alones, I would say go with the rallitek pp6 as its the most popular option in the 90's subarus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By turbo upgrade I mean swap. I should have been more clear on that. I've heard no more then 4psi however.... -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Zues Marine Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Yeah the psi levels are super low.. a swap is a good idea but it doesn't seem like you want to go through the trouble of a swap after the roadblocks you said you've gone thru... I stand by my suspension upgrades first tho. Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOHCEJ22E1 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 With our kind of cars, suspension & brakes should be número uno on the list. Unless you do anything SERIOUS to the EJs (hot cams, head swaps, turbo addition, aftermarket pistons etc), you're not gonna see SERIOUS power gains but if that's a rebuilt EJ25, then it's a good start. EJ25s are actually very good engines provided that the head gaskets have been switched out to upgraded ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that97lgt Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 yeah no boost for me i kill 2 cars with it wife sez. i read the stickys on top it where i got my idea for a few mods. just wanted to see what u guys thought would be next i did have 04 wrx springs and coilovers but i cracked 2 of the springs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have WRX suspension that I'll be putting on my car soon. It will help stiffen up the ride some and prevent some of the body roll. Some strut bars would be nice as well. Another thing you may want to look into is brakes. Part store brake pads usually suck. You can check out summit racing and order some EBC pads or some Hawk pads. Both are great. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

SBT Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 In my experience with my 2 BDs and 1 BK I'd upgrade in this order: Tires (225/40x17 on 17x7.5-8" rims... NMT +45 offset)Front/Rear Sway Bars - 23mm Front/20-24mm Adjustable Rear, poly bushings for the sways and steering rack, upgraded sway bar end links, upgraded sway bar mounts.Springs/Struts (KYB or KYB AGXes and Eibach Pro Sports) Brakes (upgrade the pads, stainless steel lines, upgraded fluid)And I never had much success with power upgrades on NA EJ2.2s or 2.5s because the ROI was very limited. That said, you can get some power out of intake and exhaust upgrades (more on the exhaust side), but you do have to be careful about intakes as they can (and do) lean out your AF mixes to the point where you get detonation - and detonation is bad. GL and keep us posted. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WESTcoast Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 thx for all the quick responses i just got done orderin some new wrx motor mounts and tranny mounts and have my brembo swap for my brakes in plannin stages with pads and calipers in garage atm never had any luck find sway bars or lowerin northern mich winters are hard on lowered rides If you were looking for an upgrade in tranny mounts the wrx ones are just the same as our stock ones, try polyuathane and solid mounts will be better and pretty much cheaper than stealership prices. I havent done anything motor with my car but suspension like everyone else said is the best upgrade for any n/a car. -front stock sway bar(big enough) -front polyurathane sway mounts, -front adjustable endlinks -rear 24mm adjustable sway bar -rear solid endlinks -rear polyurathane sway mounts -diff lockdown bolts -sti lateral links hardend bushings This is the stuff that I put on my car and i felt a pretty big difference in the way the car felt and handled on the road.
