I type the way I talk/act. And I act, like if you were with a few buddies drinking some beers just talking about whatever. Things said in that context, can come off as nothing, its just conversation. Over the internet, it often comes off comes of a lot different. You would be surprised (maybe not?) by how many people I have met, that later said "dude I always thought you were a complete ass hole, then I met you and you are actually pretty cool" because they "get" me then. Its tough to really nail down. Basically the things I say on the internet that make people think I am a dick, usually just make people laugh or they understand what I REALLY mean, and know I am not being a dick. |

lets just pause for a second and realize that 02-05 wrx are 2.0 blocks and 06+ wrx blocks are 2.5. So lets say a 02-05 wrx at stage 2 gets 240/240 (cobb numbers) then one would think the 2.5 would at least get around 260 right? And knowing that protunes are better u can up that number to maybe 270.
So even though i probably wont be keeping up with this thread, lets try to get it back on track. I believe some1 posted a link that gives you most the info but simply put, you want 400 hp cheap go somewhere else (civic, muscle, etc). if you are set on a 400hp wrx then either do a ej207 swap or hybrid swap with sti tranny, get a rotated kit, and make sure you have the braking power and suspension to handle it. |

I've been stage 2 for about a month:
Cobb catback invidia dp MBC Walbro bigger TMIC Dyno has me at 233/282. HUGE Difference than stock. It accelerates way faster off the line. When I bought this car, I was gun-ho on 400whp, or greater. but after me being at this power level, I'm not nearly as "power hungry" as I thought I'd be. I think my last power mod will be a VF upgrade or something similar and call it quits there. OP..... My point is this. start with just few upgrades and see how you like it first. don't jump into something like 400 hp without knowing all the pitfalls and pros and cons. I have several friends who have modded cars in 400-450 hp power range, and there is ALWAYS something wrong with their cars. BOTTOM LINE IS, THAT MUCH POWER IS GOING TO BE A HEADACHE TO MAINTAIN. Nobody will dare argue this point either. having a daily driver that's fun, nimble, and that handles well, is always more fun than a car that lasts a week at the power level you want it to. That's my $0.02 Last edited by radd269; 11-12-2012 at 05:41 PM. Reason: . |

Wow thanks for the 4 pages of responses. Im thinking i will just fix the car and drive it stock until i sell it. I was under the misconception that this 2.0 liter had potential. If i do keep it i will do the japan 2.0 or usdm 2.5, whatever i can find first. Thanks guys

22e block, 20H heads with 2 VF13 turbochargers using a JDM BC5 ECU with a GrP N chip...I'm expecting 220whp minimum.
My Veyron will be making 1500whp when I use thinner head gaskets to increase compression. The Veyron part is BS. Flame me. |

Nothing at all. If you want to Mod your rex to have 600WHP then, great. Just know what you're getting into beforehand so you don't want to pour gasoline on your car, and light it on fire out of anger, because it became more of a headache than a good time. Compare adding that much HP to your car, to sleeping with a woman who is married. Yes at the time, in the moment, you're having a blast, but if and when the husband finds out, your in the ***tter house with major headaches. Of course that being said, there are plenty of people who still do it. I personally don't think it's worth it. Haha Last edited by radd269; 11-12-2012 at 06:16 PM. Reason: . |

One day I will figure this car out ; a 2013 wrx, and will feel comfortable to get it tuned to stag 2 for the sake of getting the most "useful" and safe power out of it. This car is fast and deceptively so thus far... I will be happy to clean up the stutter on the rpm range and "wring" its neck out on the next apex....Who needs 400AWP for that? Lol |

Lol what? Have you been reading the same thread? And there is a huge difference between a jdm 2.0 and a usdm 2.0. Such as: forged internals, amazing factory big port heads, 8500rpm redline, etc. that's certainly more difference than "jack squat".

Or is a closed deck and factory forged internals, larger port heads, different cam profiles and more, not a difference? |

Lets face facts here, this dude isn't going to do anything. He won't put a JDM motor in anything. And the fact that I never said JDM doesn't mean anything, I said it means jack squat. All differences in the motor can be had for a relatively CHEAP option with our US motors. SIMPLE. Another simple fact is the entire forum gets there panties wet for mention of anything JDM. And most of us will never touch anything from that side of the pond. Dave, I will never once answer a tech question because I made a simple statement that in this situation, JDM vs USDM means squat. Continue to read in between the non existent lines. /jimmies rustled |

excuse me ....with EL headers and a decent tune....and your absolutely retarded for giving that advice. 400 whp is not difficult and you dont need more than a fuel pump, injectors and a turbo with e85 ...no need to to go overboard and spend a fortune

why the hate man? dyno graph is above...appraently most of you arent familiar with the wonders of e85 and EL headers....shameful ignorant basterds
Look those are the numbers that came out...they are numbers that is all. the op gave a number he wanted to get up around. What medium he uses to verify this number is up to him. |

I made 355 awhp 400 something tq on stock vf48 on e85 + supporting mods, ebcs, 3" custom cai and of course the master tuning skillz of Phatron from Phatbotti tuning. The more HP you make, its never enough. LOL!

OP, if you want to go fast for cheap in a turbo AWD car, buy a DSM. I know I sound like a broken record, but you really can't beat the 4g63 for going fast. Here's an example: Bought my 1993 eclipse gsx for 2500 dollars, VERY clean, well maintained, completly stock with 122k miles. I did the timing belt, installed ARP hardware, caught up the maintinance, traded the stocker turbo + yard work for a 20g (which I ended up trading for an Evo 3 16g because it wouldn't stop surging, and took forever to spool on pumpgas) then did injectors/fuel pump and ECM link (about 1k, including mods). With no meth injection, stock sidemount intercooler and 20psi, it ran 13.0's at 101-102. After doing cams, porting the head, and adding alcohol injection (an additonal 1k) , it clicked of consistent 11.7's at 114-115. It's an automatic. The stock longblock (6 bolt) can take up to 400-450whp reliably, and the w4a33 automatics that came in these cars have been deep into the 9's and high 8's with nothing more than new end clutches and a shift kit. I won't even begin talking about what this car could do with another 1000-2000 dollars (I lied, with a 20g and nitrous for the launch to stall it up on the converter, it could be a mid 10 second car). So where it sits, a mid 11's car full weight on pump/meth with a/c, I spent about 4500 dollars. 4500 dollars in a Subaru will get you an STi shortblock and a 6 speed, and you have a low 13/high 12 car, and you're looking and thousands and thousands to hit 11's. Just take it into consideration is all I'm asking..... Last edited by ByeBye4g63t; 11-13-2012 at 12:52 AM. |
