If I were to order from CCR a new EA82t what kind of performance mods should I ask for/Do before installing Motor to get the most horsepower and torque for around $2000? 90hp just doesn't seem like enough... I am building this car for a unveiling by feburary.. it started as a head gasket fix... now I am fed up and planning a complete rebuild with as much hp as can be musted out of a ea82t..

 

any suggestions?

For $2G you could upgrade your turbo, exhaust, fuel system, intake, and completely rebuild the motor.

 

If you're serious about a ccr swap just give them a call.

For 2gs, pick up a 2Ltr turbo WRX motor, ECU and harness. If you are careful about your sourcing and don't get fancy you can do it. Look for goodies and take off stock parts from WRX owners, collect all you can for free and just buy the major parts. Source any 5MT rather than buying a WRX takeoff because they are basicly the same tranny and can be had from a 2.2 Ltr Impreza for a fraction of the cost of a newer WRX unit, especially with a engine/tranny combo. For example, I just gave away a complete STI stock exhaust system and an RS turbo down pipe. Keep your eyes open and take your time. You will get 230HP starting with fantastic reliability and with a simple reflash you can go to 280 with no real impact on reliability.
