Well the article referenced in the beginning of this thread is from a UK-based website. I didn't see anything in there about the Legacy Turbo making it here. Maybe I missed something.

But for what it's worth, C&D says a Legacy B4 will probably make it to the U.S. by 2004, but with a 2.5 single-turbo instead of the current 2.0 twin-turbo setup.

The Article about the Legacy was a quick teaser in C and D not evne a page long. I think it is in the one with the Z4 on the cover. but it may have been the one before that. Any way there is a thread on it in the Legacy Discussion "B4 in 04"
There is also a SOA rep that posted some info regarding whet he was hearing. Personaly, and at the risk of comiting I-club blasphomy I have been considering waiting a bit on the Sti to see.

 

Here is the site with first info about the 350 HP six.

No ... I'm hoping to trade it in on the next generation Skyline GT-R by then ...

 

I like your thinking!

;D

 

ouch if 350 is too much for the sti tranny to handle.. that means all the people who wants to mod the 300hp sti over to 400 hp will be dissapointed.. at least for the wrx it kan go to 320hp without replacing the transmission.. its worse for the STI???

probably not too much for it to handle

but too much for the levels that the avg tuner would put the engine too

the torque that turning up the boost would cause would probably destroy it

just think it's making 350 hp hout of the 6cyl... now you turn up the boost a bit and all of a suddent 450hp is a very obtainable number out of 3L of displacement,

 

I read somewhere regarding a JDM top-speed-challenging wrx pulling 600whp on stock sti tranny.

DONT WORRY ABOUT THE STI'S TRANNY!

 

you are so right!!!


man i was fooled by that fake article!!!


guys

the Jun's lemon GDB makes 600 PS and 68 KG

check this if you haven't

that UK article is total BS

 

if they have to rebuild/ replace they d go for a Getrag at the first place, won't you agree?
last thing you want is for it to break up during a run ..

i ll go check other super Imprezas' trannies.. just for fun..

 

zero sports uses a N 1 clutch kit.. for the STi

not a entirely new tranny..

they have 6 MT for the WRX
but apparently STi didn't need one..
