i have a 2005 subaru 2.5rs. what all do i need to put a basic turbo kit on?

please help me i want to turbo it but im not sure of what all i neeed

ANSWER: (It really depends on how much power you are looking for and how reliable you want the car to be. Your engine is quite different than the factory turbocharged engines. You have weaker pistons with higher compression which is not ideal for boosting. Also the softer aluminium heads can become a weak point. Even a quality bolt on kit like the AVO unit can make the engine a ticking time bomb. And for the $4000 price tag, the power gains barely put you at stock WRX level. If you want to push more boost for more power, you will at the very least change the pistons but even then, because of the heads, you will be limited. Basically, the RS is just not the ideal candidate for turbocharging. That's why most people go with a swap. A basic WRX swap will run you about $5000 but for the extra money, you get a much more reliable starting point with endless potential for more power. Personally, I would save the money and keep saving to trade the car in for a WRX if you really want a turbo.)

what are little ends on a subaru impreza wrx sti 2.0ltr turbo awd?

we had head work done £255,head gasket set £390,cambelt kit £262,camshaft sprockets £536,,,,do these prices sound about right,,,,,now say little ends have gone,,,,please explain

ANSWER: (little end, commonly known as small ends which is where the gudjin pin slides into and holds the con-rod and the piston together. this is located in the con-rod itself. when it wears there will be piston slap noise. the con-rod has two sides, this big end and a small end.hope this helps.)

Putting a turbo in a 1998 Subaru Impreza?

I want to install a turbo kit in my 1998 Subaru Impreza it's manual 5spd. with 101k miles on the engine what are somethings I should do first to the engine before I install a turbo? What is the difficulty level of this project?

ANSWER: (i don't know much about impreza engines, but most of the time when adding a turbo onto a naturaly aspirated engine, you'd have to get better pistons, connecting rods and etc because sometimes stock parts aren't built to handle a boost and they will malfunction prematurely. now some cars have really strong engines like the miata or supra, but impreza i have no clue. maybe check out a subaru impreza forum where people might've already did what your thinking about doing. just go on google and type "impreza forum" good luck.)

Is this all I need to add this turbo to my car?

The kit is for a 98 subaru impreza http://www.avoturboworld.com/avoshop/product_info.php?cPath=267_197_198&products_id=100 It comes with # AVO Garrett water-cooled ball-bearing turbo# AVO high-flow bar-and plate top mount intercooler w/integrated 5th Fuel Injector# AVO Stainless steel up-pipe# Stainless steel downpipe with a sport high flow catalytic converter# Pre-programmed engine management with extra injector.# Stainless braided oil lines# AVO Power air filter# AVO BOV for the RS Turbo Kit# AVO intake pipe# High quality hoses & Fittings# Full fitting instructions

ANSWER: (You will need bigger fuel injectors and a bigger fuel pump to feed the larger injectors. You will also need to rebuild your motor because putting a turbocharger on a car that old that probably has over 100k miles will cause it to blow rather quickly not to mention that the transmission and clutch may not be able to handle the added power either.)

What turbo will fit my 08 Subaru Impreza 2.5i? [Stock appilication turbo] 10pts!?

Car: 2008 Subaru Impreza 2.5i (NOT WRX/STI)Mods: none, so far AVO DOES NOT make the turbo kit for the 2.5i anymore (specifically designed for this car). (They don't have it on there 2010 catalog). I'm saving up to buy it in 2-3 years. Will they make it again? Should i buy it used? If so, where? If not, what other turbo's will fit my car without damaging it? Thanks!I'm okay if i get low boost like 4 or 5psi. I just want a turbo. Thanks again! Happy Xmas!

ANSWER: (You can make just about any turbo fit with custom piping. As far as running it without damaging your car, that's not going to happen unless you build the motor or run very low boost. Just keep saving for a swap. Even with a built motor, the soft aluminium heads will not allow you to run any high crazy boost.)

turbo charger information please help!!! subaru turbocharger?

Ok i recently acquired a TD04L subaru turbocharger from a forester. It need rebuilt. But the typical rebuild kit doesn't have everything i need. What i cant find is the center shaft and the compressor wheels. Does anyone know where these can be located without going to subaru? any help would be greatly appreciated.

ANSWER: (That is not a typical rebuild. What you have done is pretty much bought a "parts" turbo, meaning it would actually cost more to repair than to just go and buy a good turbo.)

Subaru WRX turbo upgrade?

I don't own one so don't call me a noob but when upgrading a turbo from stock to aftermarket, do you need to buy a whole new turbo kit, or just the turbo?

ANSWER: (Depending on the year of the car and size of the turbo, the amount of things you need will vary. Say you want to upgrade an 06 WRX turbo to a 16G or a VF22. Well all you really "need" is the turbo, an aftermarket down pipe and engine management for tuning. Now you will not get anywhere near the full capability of the turbo with that set up. But it can work. Do the same on an 02 and you will have to add a fuel pump and injectors to the list. But I think you are asking if there are kits like for Honda's but not really. There are a lot of turbo's made that are a direct replacement of the stock unit so no real kit to speak of. You just need some other supporting mods to take full advantage of an upgrade.)

99 Subaru Forester axle back exhaust?

I was wondering if anyone knows if there is an axle back exhaust kit available for may car. I have not been able to find anything. It is not the turbo model.

ANSWER: (Well im sure there is as i had purchased a blitz nur spec one along time ago. And it was an axle back. But check ebay thats of course a popular one lol, i know srs should sell you one just have to ask but most the time check subaru forums, if they are parting exahust system some of the muffler section will bolt right up to stock location , but there are somethat dont. Just gotta look around and search different words. and my signiture line check nasioc.com iwsti.com wrxtunners.com etc. those are just some subaru forums lol.)

Where could I find a turbo kit for a `95 Subaru Impreza?

It's a 1995 Impreza with a 1.8L boxer 4 engine.. I've looked around on a few sites [turbonetics, HKS,..] but I mainly all I could find were the WRX/STI Imprezas >___< Could a turbo kit for one of them fit my '95 Impreza...?

ANSWER: (You can't find any because your engine can't handle much if any boost. You need to build the motor first then you can pretty much use a kit made for the WRX with some modification and fabrication. That's really your only option other than a swap.)

Cold air intake and performance chip for a 2007 Subaru Impreza 2.5i?

So, i cant' afford a WRX. Nor could I afford to put a turbo on this one even if it made sense to do so. But I could put in a cold air intake and a performance chip. Concerning my 2007 Subaru Impreza 2.5i, I guess my questions are: 1. I'm going to have this car for a while. Would these two changes be worth it? Gas mileage wise? Performance wise? 2. Could they do any harm to the car? 3. Where should i look for the cold air intake? was looking at this one: http://www.aemonly.com/air-intakes-1/subaru-71/aem-cold-air-intake-for-wrx-2-5l-2006-2007-1796.html For a WRX - will it work? 4. Performance chip wise - what do i do there? The only one i've found there is this: http://www.jetchip.com/Shop/shopdisplayproducts.asp?sppp=10&catID=1 the Jet ECU upgrade kit? Are there better alternatives?Update: i've been referred to www.voloperformance.com by several people before, but they don't appear to make the for subarus.

ANSWER: (The intake will not do any harm or help really. You won't likely notice the few horsepower gain and the mileage is not going to be effected enough to notice. It will sound good though. As far as tuning goes. those generic "Chips" will not work on the Subaru ECU's. They will automatically make adjustments to work around whatever changes the "chip" is trying to make. The only forms of engine management I know of for the 2.5i are Perfect Power or I-Speed. I know Cobb released Access ports for some of the N/A Impreza's so maybe contact them to find out. One thing to know is that Subaru tuned your car pretty damn efficiently and there is very little power to be wrung out of it so the cost of tuning may not be worth the power you will gain. If I was you, I would do a cat back to give the car a good sound and work on the suspension. A great handling car can keep up with more powerful cars and they look better lowered.)

does anyone make a turbo kit or turbo manifold for a 1999 subaru impreza outback with a 2.2l engine?

ANSWER: (There are kits to turbocharge it. However, you should remember that the engine was not designed for boost internally, so dont go more than say 5 pounds of boost. A different version of the 2.2L used in the legacy was turbocharged. That version is designed for turbocharging, and turbocharging it with a bigger turbo isnt as much of a problem, as internally the 2.2L turbo was designed for turbo boost, where the 2.2L non turbo was not designed for boost.So go ahead and put a turbo on it, just dont go crazy on the boost.)

ANSWER: (First, that turbo kit isn't for that model of vehicle. So that won't work anyway. Secondly, you can buy a WRX STI of a few years old, for less, and it will look better, and perform better. But if you feel like pissing your money away...go for it.)

Help with AVO turbo kit for '04 Subaru Impreza RS?

Hey,I'm from Canada and I recently had an AVO turbo kit installed in my '04 Subaru Impreza RS, but the intercooler is too large and won't fit. The company said that this may be due to a difference in the Canadian model from the US model. Has anyone heard anything about this problem? Any info or advice would be appreciated! Until this gets fixed I'm without a car!Thanks!

ANSWER: (There is no physical difference between cars sold in Canada and those sold in the USA. Subaru builds cars for North America. Yes, there are differences between European and North American versions. I believe AVO is lying to you and not admitting their mistake.)

does anyone know where to find a cheap and reliable turbo kit?

or how to make one for cheap for a 1999 subaru legacy GT? i want to turbo my car BADLY but i can't find an actual kit for it. i can find the forged pistons and connecting rods and that kind of stuff though, just not the turbo kit.

ANSWER: (engine swap is expensive. turbo installation will be also very costly, including shop time and if you have to use a generic/universal turbine and custom fabrication of the plumbing/piping count on all in $5000-7000 if forced induction is out of the budget, and if you can build out the engine (bottom end & heads - you have one other option, that is very reasonable price - nitrous kit.nitrous oxide can provide the same degree of power enhancement as forced induction and it causes NO greater strain or heat generation than does a turbo or supercharger (at equivalent power levels)http://www.andysautosport.com/subaru/1995_1999_legacy/performance/nitrous_oxide/ Anyway do some research on nitrous, lots of installations around and it is a popular addition and a worthwhile one if the engine is properly prepared. regards)

2005 Subaru Legacy GT turbo kits?

lookin for a turbo ugrade for an 05 Legacy GT, anyone find one? or is it possible to use like an STi turbo? or are the LGT turbo and STi turbo the same? any help would be appreciatedthanks that helps a ton. what kind of upgrades can i get to maximize the stock turbo? i'm looking to upgrade the whp to aroud 350-400. so about 100-150 over what it comes stock. any ideas?

ANSWER: (Your Legacy has a little different set up then the STI or 07 and older WRX's. The only upgrades I know of are either an 18G modification from Mach V or AVO bolt on turbos that Rallitek sells. You can use STI compatible turbos only if you change your intake manifold and inter cooler too. What kind of power are you looking for? Hvae you done everything to maximize your stock turbo? With some bolt ons and tuning, you can have more power than an STI pretty easily. Chrck out LegacyGT.com for good info on your car.)

Whats differnce between sti and wrx subaru? ?

what would be quicker / faster / better handling ? a subaru 2002 wrx with pro drive kit?or a sti legacy 2.0 turbo ?

ANSWER: (STI means Subaru Tecnica International It's just a performance package for a WRX. So, an STI WRX, will outperform a normal one. What difference does it make which is faster, if you don't even realize that they're talking about the same car?)

subaru sti question!! 10 points!! helpp please!!?

ok the question is : just an example let's say i put a gt35 turbo kit with fmic set up ,magnus intake, aquamist. etc.. and it goes to 625 HP in a cosworth long block.. and i dont know if i put the same mods to a sti engine it will make the same HP or what???

ANSWER: (The Cosworth long block has a few differences that will allow it to make more power than the stock STI motor. For one the internals are much stronger. From the crank out to the pistons are much stronger than the STI internals so it can handle a little more boost. That's why they cost $9000. Also the heads flow better and they have better valve train and cams so it will help it make more power. So to answer your question, not really. You might be able to get similar power but the built block will last longer at those power levels. I personally think the 35r is too big for the stock block for this very reason. Why put a big turbo on the stock block if you are not going to get anywhere near it's potential. A 30r would be better if you have no plans for a built block. I really like the Blouch Dominator 3 for a stock motor STI. It's a ball bearing, stock location 30r basically and has excellent spool and makes a good solid 400 to the wheels on pump gas with proper supporting mods. Just know that you have to pay to play so a block build should be something you are prepared for when upgrading to any turbo really.)

What is the difference between this 2 turbo kits?!! 10 points subaru sti !!?

what is the difference if a put one of these turbo kit in a subaru impreza wrx sti 2005 ( STOCK) 1) perrin kit gt3071 2) perrin kit gt3076 you think that the 3076 is to much for a stock sti? and it says that you have to buy the intercooler the fuel rails and more you have to buy that to put the turbo kit of to the limit?

ANSWER: (I do believe the items they list below the first paragraph on this site is all the mods you will need to run your turbo unit properly. But i would recommend if your gonna install it, to get all the parts listed and check if there are any forums dealing with your car and see if they have experience with putting on turbo units.)

what is the difference between this 2 turbo kits?!! 10 poins subaru sti !!?

what is the difference if a put one of these turbo kit in a subaru impreza wrx sti 2005 ( STOCK) 1) perrin kit gt3071 2) perrin kit gt3076 you think that the 3076 is to much for a stock sti? and it says that you have to buy the intercooler the fuel rails and more you have to buy that to put the turbo kit of to the limit?

ANSWER: (The 3076 is a slightly better flowing turbo and on pump gas, it will make another 20-30 hp but with a few hundred more RPM's of lag. Your decision between the two gets difficult depending on what gas you will be using. On pump gas, the 3071 may only make a little more power than a good 20G for a lot more money. Between the 3071 and the 3076, on pump gas, I would go with the 3076 just because if you are spending the money i would want the extra power and the extra lag is minimal. Many people run the 3076 on a stock block without problem. Just ask for a conservative tune and you should be able to run low 12's or even high 11's if you are a good driver. I would add a few 10th's if you go with the 3071. Engine reliability on any turbo we'll depend on the tune. Just make sure you are tuned by a reputable tuner and it should be fine. I will say this though. If you are in a position where if the motor blows and you can't afford to have it rebuilt, you can't afford to be modding at this level so if that is the case, a 20G with simple supporting mods will run much cheaper and be easier on the motor. One more thing. I'm not trying to be a dick cuz I like answering questions here but you have been asking about different kits for months now and I really think calling Perrin is a good idea. Geoff and the guy's there are really cool and will gladly answer anything you want to know. I live 5 minutes from their new shop and like to stop in ther to hang out and they never mind it so give tham a call.)

turbo kit!! subaru sti help!!?

ok the thing is i have a stock sti so i wanted to tuned it so i came with the perrin turbo kits which turbo kit do i have tu buy help!! i want something not to monster!! is it godd the gt3071?

ANSWER: (the gt3071 is o.k. i have it on my 240sx)

turbo kit question! SUBARU STI 05!! HELP?

ok the thing is i have a stock sti so i wanted to tuned it so i came with the perrin turbo kits which turbo kit do i have tu buy help!! i want something not to monster!! is it godd the gt3071?

ANSWER: (maybe you should attempt to rewrite this question again when you're NOT have a seizure and everyone can understand it... Thanks! but... From what i do understand, you dont want a monster of an STi. Simple, get a Cobb Accessport, Turbo-back exhaust, intake, a new turbo(perhaps one of the new VF48s), a new intercooler, injectors and fuel pump. That should make your car very fast, but not rediculous and unreliable.)

What doy you think of these turbo kit for my subaru sti?

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE GT-RS HKS? OR THE PERRIN GT30?? IF ANYONE HACE THE SPECS OF THESE TURBO CAN ANYONE PASTE IT PLEASE THANKS

ANSWER: (Turbos make ordinary cars GLH!)

which of these turbo kits would you get and why( for a subaru wrx STI 2005)?

Which of these turbo kits would you get 1)Greddy T67 (25g)(greddy) 2)HKS GT-RS Turbo (HKS) 3)Perrin Rotated Mount Turbo Kit GT30 or GT35R (perrin) which of these do you choose OR WHICH DO YOU CHOOSE?? AND WHY?

ANSWER: (It really depends on what you plan on doing with the car.. most guys I know with WRX/STi's favor the TD06/07 18g/20g, and the GT30XXR models..These are obscenely large turbos, only truly necessary if you have a car that you plan on tracking often, as the supporting mods make the car hard to handle as a DD. I myself only run a P&P'd VF48, the stock turbo from the 2008-09 STi.. still good for 319hp/ 337 tq, on an 07 WRX. All three companies have excellent reps as far as making reliable power.. but IMO, the garrett ball bearing turbos offer quicker spool, and better flow..)

whick turbo kit can i put for my subaru sti?

i dont know what turbo kit to put on my sti i have to choices 1) gt-rs (hks) turbo kit 2) t67(greddy) turbo kit which is better and why help any suggestions

ANSWER: (Neither. Perrin Rotated Mount Turbo Kit GT30 or GT35R - WRX/STi 2002+ is what you want.)

which turbo kit can i put to my subaru sti?

i dont know what turbo kit to put on my sti i have to choices 1) gt-rs (hks) turbo kit 2) t67(greddy) turbo kit which is better and why help any suggestionsi want into 350hp to 400hp i want to race with other cars!! like s2000 and evo's etc

ANSWER: (Both those are decent turbo kits but they are extremely over priced compared to other kits. I would recommend either going the perrin 30r setup or 35r, you can also get the garge tuning kit which is new out there but I know the guy who designed it and it is a great turbo kit and it is cheaper than the perrin one but still makes the same power but has better spool...)

What are the benefits and also any downfalls of Greddy eManage Ultimate in my Subaru Impreza WRX STi?

I got an MY03 WRX STi and i am now going to fit The Greddy eManage Ultimate into it. At the moment the car runs quite modified it's got front mount intercooler, HKS Super Suction Racing Kit, HKS Twin Power unit and HKS EVC. IT runs on 1.4 bar of turbo and got whole HKS Hi Power exhaust system. I would like to know what will be the gain in terms of fuel consumption, car response, turbo and power after i fit in the emanage Ultimate.

ANSWER: (Greddy Emanage is a horrible device. Please get it Dynotuned from a tuner locally. Your car is probably fast, but could really be opened up a lot more. With the intercooler kit, i would buy the front mount intercooler spray, so cool the air down, as well as methanol and then you'll be killing everyone. not the best advice its really early in the morning!~my bad)

what do you need to buy when purchaing a turbo system?

i am think about buying a subaru impreza wrx sti anywhere from the year 2002-2005, and im think about buying a turbo kit. i am wondering when i do buy a turbo kit what system i should buy and what other parts do i need?

ANSWER: (there are two routes. 1. upgrad to a better set up but still keep it looking stock.2. upgrade to a bigger turbo upgrade all parts under the hood.you can get an upgraded turbo from many suppliers such as Power interprise, Zero Sports, Greddy, HKS. they all offer turbos that are bolt up kits, and still use most of the OEM parts from the original turbo, and give a good amount of power and spool up quicker then the stock turbo.With these set ups you can use a OEM STi top mount, but it would be a good idea to upgrade to bigger injectors 500cc injectors would be good, and a fuel pump, an STi fuel pump could do good but you can always upgrade.You can upgrade to a bigger turbo for powers over 400 but you will need to use bigger injectors, more fuel, front mount intercooler, upgraded intake, and exhaust.This all depends on what you really want to do and how much you really want to spend.)

what company makes a conversion kit to install a EJ20 subaru motor into a 1986 vw vanagon?

2002 Subaru WRX (EJ20) turbo motor conversion

ANSWER: (Kennedy Engineered Products makes one, but I'd rather see you join the subaruvanagon list on Yahoo as they are there stricly for folks putting subies in Vanagons. I'll do it myself when I wear out the rebuild on my Vanagon motor. You need to shorten the oil pan and modify the subie wiring harness which is no small task, but all this is covered in the list archives for the subie list. I won't do the turbo, but good luck. With some additional mods, the SVX 6 cylinder will fit in there too.)

What parts should I use to turbocharge my Subaru Impreza L?

The engine is a 2.2 L Flat-4 with upgraded pistons, rods, and bearings. There are no turbo kits for this engine (i don't think) and I just want to know what exhaust manifold, down pipe, and turbocharger to use. Any other info would be helpful as well.. Thanks!

ANSWER: (Put a supercharger on it, not a turbo. It will give you way better response no matter how fast or slow you are going, plus it won't trash your motor nearly as bad. The only time turbos do a lot of good is when you are drag racing, otherwise they are pretty much worthless until you are in 4,000-6,000+RPM's which isn't good for your motor anyways. If it's all-wheel-drive like I think it is, then you will be much much happier getting the supercharger.(If they even make one for your motor))
