Engine/Power - EJ20T (pre-2006 WRX and JDM) There is replacement for displacement, it is forced induction - OEM 2.0 liter turbo engines in the USDM WRX. 90-94 Legacy Turbo EJ22 turbo engines can also be discussed here.

can an04 wrx be reliably tuned to 350-400hp?

your question makes no sense...
i will bet you if you have a 400hp wagon, that 100+ mph ticket is just as close as having an sti.

i agree
you can get an Sti and not afford to mod it and be like every other Sti out there, or you can take a little time with your car and make it YOURS. Doing the work on it and making it unique makes it even more enjoyable to drive and more satifying if you happen to go race and smoke somebody

as to your actual question, i would say sort of.
you can get 350hp out of a vf34 and some well planned mods. Your engine bay doesnt even have to look very modded if you dont want it to.
Things in cars break, add more power and they tend to break more. As long as you dont abuse your car the power should be fine, but if you are doing 7k clutch dumps and over revving you engine on every shift the power probably wont be reliable.

Here is an effective and reliable way to get to 350-400hp.
-VF34 - VF22 Turbo (subarureview.com would be the best to explain those)
-STi Injectors
-Walbro Fuel Pump
-Perrin Fuel Rails (again with the subarureview.com)
-Full Free Flow Exhaust
And if you really feel the need to go that extra few HP, get a built engine from AXXIS Engineering. They know what they are doing.

Also I don't know where you are located but if you are near the Bay Area, CA then come by BP Performance in Pleasanton and we can start getting stuff for you and putting it on. Cheers and good luck.

Agreed, but I'd say go with a bigger turbo. FP or PE would be prime
