Engine/Power - non turbo (All non turbo Imprezas) Who needs a turbo when you have 2500cc? Cams, intakes, exhausts, etc. The 2.2L and 1.8L Subies are cool too.

Looking For 2.5 RS suggestions READ PLZ

If your that worried that you might get a bad one, hell I am even betting he messed it up himself, but regardless, if that's the case, go suspension first, then go cams and intake and exhaust then ecu if you wanna drop the $$$. ej251's don't make a lot of n/a power, the sti swap is not simple either, even just swapping the engine will require some ecu tuning or at the worst another ecu because of the compression ratios, the 2.5rs ecu wont do as well with them. If you not looking to dump that kind of money, then go n/a and save up for body, you've got a light car so not a lot of power will go quite a ways with good suspension. Just my few cents.

P.S. sorry for grammar fix, it was late and reading it hurt my head, lol. Mine is just as bad usually so all good.

But recently ive been noticing when im driving tht my ABS light will start blinking, along with my lights kinda goin wavy, and my dash lights doing the same. this only happens occasionly but its a mystery to me. i think it might be something in the alternator but ive even, parked against a wall reved it, and they dont change. Weeirrdd. sooo any suggestions or help??
