JAC Wagon Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 daymn! Guess Im gonna need a little more $$$ to fund my STi swap... Might have to go the WRX swap direction instead lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jab83 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Yeah. I say go wrx then just upgrade turbos and such. and you'll be smoking wrx's all day. Heck if you can find one a turbo forester swap would be good too. Theres a local guy here who has a bad ass forester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted September 28, 2011 Author I Donated Share Posted September 28, 2011 If you do a swap, I HIGHLY suggest the EJ257. The EJ20 has good high end power...but its ASS SLOW on the low end -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."

JAC Wagon Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 how low? Like everyday driving Ill be upshifting all the time to pass people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted September 28, 2011 Author I Donated Share Posted September 28, 2011 Its definatly driveable...but I will say this. The heavily built EJ20R is slower off the line then my stock OB is. Once the turbo spools though, its a different story. Not many cars can keep up -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."

JAC Wagon Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 so from a daily driver wanting to spank the occasional ricer on the highway point of view youd suggest 257? ej20 good just for track and such? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted September 28, 2011 Author I Donated Share Posted September 28, 2011 For a DD with a bit of fun, an EJ20 would do you just fine. I'm just not happy with the low end output of an EJ20...but then again you and I probably use our cars for different things -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."

JAC Wagon Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I want 300-350 BHP when its said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAC Wagon Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 wouldnt be unhappy with 400+ though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted September 28, 2011 Author I Donated Share Posted September 28, 2011 My sedan has hit the 300+mark on a GT3076R turbo...but it was such a big turbo it took FOREVER to spool up....but when it spooled it threw you back in your seat pretty hard. It will be hard to keep reasonable spool times on an EJ20 and get 350+ to the wheels. However, its not a very hard task to do on a EJ257. To give you a serious answer to your question, my favorite thing is mountain runs...so I really need the low end power. On the highway, almost nothing can touch me....and the only thing that saves me in the corners is the suspension -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."

Jab83 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I really hope my build will have good low end. gonna take 2.2 block. throw 04 wrx heads on. completely build the engine. standalone ecu and i've no idea what turbo i'm gonna run. :/ I haven't looked in to that. I know I think i've figured up 3k for the building of the block. then another 1 or 2k for heads. plus cams and stuff. :/ yeah. its gonna be bad ass!

lulzcow Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I really really want an EJ257. I think I will wait until I can start getting scholarships that pay bank though. Although.....not to brag or anything....but I did just get hooked up with a job that pays $2K for 3 days work on a 5 day all expenses paid trip to Vegas. And I guess if I get in good with this company, it may become a more common thing/I will have opportunities with other companies. Not gonna say what the work is but be jealous Anyways, if that goes well or I get any of the scholarships I am applying for, I am so building a 257!
