Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and I'm sure you've heard this a thousand times, so I'm gonna ask anyways.
But first a little info on my Impreza..
Just picked it up a few weeks ago. It's a 97 Outback Sport with 266K, full history from '04 and *minor* modifications.
*Forester struts and steelies with 205/70 r15 tires
*Forester front seats
*added groundstraps from the battery to the block to the chassis to prevent future hassle
*high flow air filter from Spectre
I just did a complete tune up with OE NGK plugs, Denso wires, fogged the engine twice with seafoam along with adding it to the oil before replacing it with Pennzoil Ultra synthetic oil (5w-40) and a K&N oil filter. And also seafoaming the fuel system for that extra precaution.
She's not a gem but I have some plans to build her a little bit. Nothing wild but 200-225hp with comparable torque would be optimal out of the EJ22 either N/A or Forced Induction.
I'm thinking WRX turbo with dual manifold heads, matching exhaust, boost controller, twin loop exhaust for a nice note without sacrificing too much compression and a set of Magnaflow Cats to contradict that, with most of the OE parts coming from salvage. It's all in theory but I'm questioning it's execution, and that's why I'm here. Any ideas/thoughts/opinions?
