Hey Everyone,

Another proud Suby owner just wanting to learn more about the Evo. I've heard all the myths and legends about the 9 and MR so I wanted to afirm them.

Still trying to figure out how you guys benefit so much more from the same mods

Anyways, thanks for letting me join the group and I hope to learn more!

 

20 years of the same power plant.

 

True, but the EJ20 is not rookie either.

OT, I also noticed there's not a lot of flaming on here. A+++ for the maturity (so far )!

 

The EJ20 is no rookie, but it is not built to handle near as much power as the 4G63, and your stock turbo could fit inside our stock turbo. Anyway, I consider a WRX closer to a Ralliart Lancer. We really only deal with STi's, and even those can't keep up with Evo VIIIs with the same mods. IXs aren't even close.

 

Performance is the key. Team work.

 

the evo is very slow.




very.

 

well the wrx is a hell of a lot faster than a RA. WRX's do 0-60 in 5.7 right? and the RA does it in like 7.5 if i am correct. They also handle better so i dont think they are much of a close comparison IMO

 

Warrtalon chill. The wrx is nothing like the lancer.

 

Chill? When was I anything other than chill? I didn't say the WRX was anything like the Lancer. I said it is closer to the Ralliart than the Evo. The WRX isn't anywhere near the Evo.

 

Never base anything off of 0-60 times - it's only something that magazines can measure, and it is highly dependent on how hard the car can be launched as well as the gearing (some hit 60 in 1st, some in 2nd, and some in 3rd). The WRX is AWD, and the RA is FWD. Both are slow.

 

no! i know what you mean. Dont hate on a fellow brotha!

 

ANYWAY, the EJ20T is not a bad motor in itself, but there are quite a few differences which account for the smaller performance gains with the same mods. As mentioned the turbo is quite small, and the intake manifold has always been hard to perfect on the boxer motors. Oh, and then everything else is different about the two motors, except displacement

Welcome to the board. Any mods on the WRX?

 

welcome to the forum.

as you are prolly now aware, the evo (9 specially) seem to take to mods very well. The reason, according to various tuners I know (who are more familiar to evos) it's got quite a lot to do with the fact that the plumbing in the sti's are just not very suitable for forced induction. It is also due, in no small part, to the extremely complex ecu in sti's. Basically there are very few things you can do to it without needing a tune. Now this on it's own isn't all that bad, but if you consider that not all ecu tuners are created equal and so on, things get a little difficult. Obviously you need a tune on evo's to get the best out of your mods, but it just seems that the sti's ecu's are not as tolerant or a little over complicated for it's own good...

 

x838nwy, you have a S203??? Post pics since we're talking about Subaru's

 

Yes, I'm talking about THE S203. Just for a stone chip in the cf lower lip

Truth be told, it's not all that quick, but it's nice nonetheless.
