I'm going to be roaming around the boards to see if this is something I really want to do. I can't exactly sell the Subbie as I have WAY too much invested in it and refuse to take the loss. I'm trying to pawn it off on the wife so I can build something else so we'll see how that goes. I'll either go old school EVO or build a V8 FI car.
The WRX:




It's one of (top 3) highest whp privately owned Ej205 powered cars in the country.

Built motor, AEM, dogbox tranny, etc...

See you guys around.

How much whp exactly?

 

Very clean rex

 

I would love to know.

 

Unless he changed his turbo from the gt30r it should be 425whp on 93+meth and close to 500whp on c16.

 

The car made 483 on 110 octane on 8.7:1 compression. We just bumped the compression to a bit over 9 so that should go up some.

405 on 21psi... that's what I drove around on when I dorve the car on the street.

 

Wow those are impressive #'s. I would love to have something like your wagon. It must be a lot of fun to sucker other high performance cars into playing and then just ripping them apart.

 

Dooo it. I just did. 05 STi to 05 evo MR. Join the dark side

 

NICE!..Great Power too.

 

The biggest thing for me is the power those 4g63's are capable of. All comparisons of EVO's and STi's completely stop when you really get into modding engine internals and throwing on huge turbo's. I mean... my car makes great power... but there's NO reason a 500whp car should be anywhere close to setting records, even on a 2.0l. I'll go old school EVO if I do swap tho. I love the older bodies. That or hop on the big displacement FI band wagon. I'd like to come close to doubling the power I'm making now. Only issue now is choosing HOW to do so.

This is all me:

 

FYI if you want to come close as possible to 1000whp I do suggest you don't get a stroker motor. The higher rev limits of the 2.0L make it easier to create high horsepower with the large gt42r turbo's.

To even do it your going to need a whole host of things to make it happen

Fully built 2.0L
Valve springs or a race head (ported would be better :P) after all you want to spin this to 9500rpm
GT42r turbo
LARGE fueling system twin pump for sure
Racing large diameter intercooler
Tail BOV
I'm not sure of the injector setup maybe twin rail
VSR intake manifold will help make the topend
AEM management system using Speed density setup
COP ignition setup MW box

I'm probably missing a whole host of things but this list by its own is quite expensive.

 

In bold... my Subaru has. Not to mention almost 7k worth of tranny. I understand how pricey this gets. Been there, done that.

I didn't realize the stroker motor wouldn't rev to 9k+. Makes sense tho. You'd think with a lightened rotating assembly you'd get there. Owell... I have no problems running the bottle.

 

Well AMS does make one to that spec a 2.3RR but the cost is double that of a 2.0L. Its your money though I'd just stick to what the big tuning shops tell you should go on there for high horsepower.

IE Buschur, AMS

Good luck with your future builds
