wow who would have guesses. do you guys have alot of smog restrictions or something? I also noticed you run 95 octane fuel. thats amazing, what type of cost are you seing at the pump?

 

we have 98 as well, it about $1.2/L for the stand. and 10cent more for the 98

 

restrictions are very very bad

 

2.0i is non turbo 2 liter engine 92kW
2.0R is non turbo 2 liter engine 118kW and its twin cam
WRX is 2.5 liter 169kW (turbo)
STI is 2.5 liter 206kW (turbo)

we do have restrictions for stock, but a lot of the aftermarket WRXs and STIs range between 300-600kW

i just installed 8000k HIDs today on the car, makes the car look very good, highly recommended aesthetics upgrade!!

 

okay,.. umm,.. i'm kinda confused with the metric system n' stuff. but from what i heard about the 2.0 r is that its pushing about 190hp? but a little less torque than our 2.5i.


hey 2k6,.. idk if i asked this before but did you notice any improvements in fuel economy with the intake on?

 

oops nvr mind..

i found a metric system converter site so if you folks want to see how much hp or torque the car is in either metric system or the other way.. here it is..

heres the boost sensor. do not lose any power at the bottom, huge gain at around 3000+ RPM

 

fuel economy went WAY DOWN, but thats just its more fun to drive hard now. honestly, if i drove it like i should be, i would actually be getting much better milage.

 

thats good to know.. because supposedly intakes give better mileage but since it gives lots of power.. why not push the pedal. Too bad the tracks here closed down.



btw, have any of you folks considered having one of them MSD ignition stuff. I heard that if you put in some iridium spark plugs and have that MSD thing, you'd get more power and better gas mileage because it amplifies the spark,.. thus having the fuel combust stronger and giving off more power..

idk,.. just wondering if any of you guys know more about this.

 

hey whats up guys...im new to i-club...ive been readin the 06 thread for a while now but i just registered an account tonight...ive got a 06 2.5i and i love it so far...thinkn about puttin the pp6 and weapon r and catback in...any good reactions from any of those...i see that the weapon r was pretty good for top end performance....im wonderin if anybody has tried the pp6 out...good to be part of the forum...nice lookn cars on here so far...hopefully we can all help each other build some sick imprezas

 

Have you got a link

 

i dont have any links for my car up yet...its just stock right now...i bought the red...and if yur talkin about parts...rallitek.com has everything exept the catback..it has one but its not the one i want...

also has anybody ran their car in the 1/4 mile stock...its really been itching me to no what our cars run but i cant seem to find an accurate 1/4 mil time...ive seen everything from 15-18 so i dunno...

 

Yeah ive been wanting to get the PP6. After seeing what a good tune did to my buddies sti (-from 300 at crank to about 360). I talked to some people about it and if your on a stock 2.5i the pp6 is supposed to help you break 200 at crank. plus exhaust, intake and crank pulley and you could be seeing an easy 215at crank, thats almost WRX which is 230.

im actually looking to see if there is any work i can do with cams, and engine internals? anyone know if they make parts like that fo our ej253 block or only for the ej255 turbo block?

 

im sure if u do extensive work like that theyll just recomend u put in the wrx block...i was thinkin about rebuildin the engine and puttin a turbo on, frount mount, ect. but that will be a couple years in the future when the parts are available everywhere and its cheaper...good news to hear on the pp6...that def makes me wanna drop that in there a lot more now that u said that...i would love do break the 230 hp mark sometime just to be at the wrx's level. most likely ill start with the weapon r, then pp6 and cat back

 

o and subiedrift, i think they do have cams out for our cars...im pretty sure i saw them a couple weeks ago...but there like 1400 dollars or more...
