ThatImprezaGuy Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Well, it's been a while since I've been away and the 2.5RS and M3 have been loooonnngggg gone... I did get a 2004 WRX in early 03 after I got rid of the M3.... well over the 4 years that I had it, I spent lots of time with it. 47,000 miles, and 450bhp later, I sold it in June of 07. Maybe some of you would be interested so I figured I'd fill you in. Not the best pictures in the world, and the mod list probably woln't be complete, but here goes.

biminiLX Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Very nice. Confused though, did you sell it? I like those years WRXs best, minus the wing and stickers though. That turbo dwarfs the stocker, wow. -J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That turbo dwarfs the stocker, wow. -J Yes, I sold it this past june. Waiting on my 08 Saab Turbo X... 2.8L V6, 280hp, AWD :) first plans... get cadillac 3.6l internals, swap. assuming we keep the efficiance, ~360hp. Then turbo mods, catless 4-3-2.5 exhaust, boost controller, etc, i figure it should put it a bit over 425hp or so with those alone, then we need to look at a BIG turbo, because you know 3.6l of displacement will push one hell of a compressor wheel.

biminiLX Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 then we need to look at a BIG turbo, because you know 3.6l of displacement will push one hell of a compressor wheel. True but not as big as mine for 7.0L: Good luck with it, sounds like a good plan. -J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
