Project Information
Well, you start off with your basic Subaru Impreza 2.5RS. 2.5 liter horizontally-opposed 4-cylinder engine with 10:1 compression creating 165hp@5600rpm and 166lb.ft. of torque at 4000 rpm -- add an aftermarket turbo system and love of sweat, blood, and tears and you get my current car. While it can be a nightmare in tuning, it is quite a pleasure to drive. Not many turbo cars can get out of their own way at 2000RPM. ;-)

I would have loved to have supercharged it instead, unfortunately it means quite a bit of work as there are no complete setups out there. I've looking into a roots-type blower setup and it can be done, but the heating of the air and the boost levels I would want to run just wouldn't get along. Centrifugal wouldn't be bad, but the way the boost curve is shaped wouldn't give the car much of a kick.

Turbo Setup Details
As my list changes so often, I am just going to update this as I go along. My setup changes every few weeks, even if it's just to add something small or correct a few minor issues.
LudeSpeed Stage II turbo kit (from original group buy in 12/01)
New LudeSpeed up/downpipe
AutoMeter gauges (Boost, EGT, Fuel Pressure)
GReddy near-WB A/F Ratio Gauge
Haltech E6K
Parallel fuel rail mod
To be installed :
J&S Safeguard
Apex'i AVC-R boost controller
...and many more things planned for in the future. :)
