March 21, 200719 yr Traitor. You comming back to the Dragon this year? Nope... I have to skip this one... I got a new job and cannot get the time off right away... I'll be back 2008 though.
March 21, 200719 yr I've been looking for a good fcd, what would you recommend with an easy instalation. The home made one ilustated on legacy central is more than I want to attempt
March 21, 200719 yr Since I've got my coupe running, more or less properly, You guys think I could get it to around 140hp pretty easily? Or should I take the time to drop an EJ22 into it? (You'd be surprised at how many there are up here, without cars attached) No, this isn't a, zomg tell me how 2 mak mah carrr fast! Just curious if the investment would be fit on something else entirely (And yes, I know I probably should have searched, but I'm off to bed soon) You are only asking for 25 - 35hp more than you have stock. Header, exhaust and intercooler should be able to give you that without turning up the boost. Give your car a full tune-up and send your fuel injectors out to be cleaned (Ex: RC Engineering). Make sure your cooling system is up to par and enjoy driving.
March 21, 200719 yr Author I decided to go for a spin in it today. 60 miles overall, cruising at 75. No problems, ran like a champ. I'll see about new exhaust when I can afford it as I have $1000 in bills and $400 check :\
March 23, 200719 yr if you slap an intercooler on your Stock EA-82T without uping the boost level, it would be slower because of the added lag time to charge the inter cooler, and after the lag there is a slight (very slight) boost drop after the intercooler, so just up it a couple pounds.
March 23, 200719 yr Easy 140HP in an EA82: carbon fiber wing = $200 rice muffler = $25 carbon fiber shift knob = $15 decals = $4 each

That would only apply if you were using an IC the size of a damned house. How much extra time do think it takes to pressurize something the size of a WRX IC? If the difference in lag time is more than 1/2 second with and without IC, I would be very surprised. Not to mention that LARGE intercoolers rarely produce more than 1 PSI drop.. And I mean Ford F650 large.
March 23, 200719 yr i just put a FMIC on my car. granted it is an EJ20G but there was hardly any added lag and no boost drop. and my intercooler is almost as large as a house... -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

I'll see about new exhaust when I can afford it as I have $1000 in bills and $400 check :\ When u can afford it? Go to Pep Boys or Autozone. Get yourself a cheap muffler (None of the louvered [sp?] core ones). That'll be a few bucks! Take it to Meineke, Midas, etc and get yourself some custom cat back piping made up. I think mine cost $80.00 to be done. Here are some pics--> http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=29957

Intercooler gives a torque 'boost' at low rpms. It then tapers off to where the stock torque is at higher rpms. At least from my experience->

March 25, 200719 yr Seem like it would be cheaper and easier to install NOS Sure if you like blowing sh*t up.
March 26, 200719 yr Sure if you like blowing sh*t up. NOS idea was ALSO meant as a joke! installing a 283 chevy v8 would probably be as practical
