This is a pic of my friends WRX turbo on the dyno, he put out 276hp and 272 lb/ft torque!

yah dont put an ej20 in it. just slap a turbo kit onto it and your fine. i think it has a bigger displacement too. im not sure.o yeah, you might need the pistons and connecting rods, but othe rthan that, i think its mostly just swapping it.

I've always thought those cars in 2dr looked a helluva lot better than a WRX. Nice car, good luck with it.

the ej20 wrx engine will waste the 2.5's auto or manual, neither last long (esp if you wail on them) i say go EJ25 and corresponding drivetrain... thatll be sexy

Semnos

Yeah man turbo that 2.5
It can make a lot of more power then the EJ20.
Well if you have money for some internals etc... that EJ25 would be hella fast....no replacement for displacement

yah wasnt that gen faster than the 2002+ generation wrx? i mean wrx vs the wrx, jdm not usdm.

WOO WOO another honda guy going sube. I did the same but still kept my 88 hatch, traded the 97 rice mobile Civic. Read more about it. Swaps have been done before, and turboing that engine has been done, there was a supercharger kit once also. I have a 2002 WRX and a co-worker has a 2000 2dr 2.5 RS I always liked the 2.5 RS.
here's my car

sweet man, congrats not even a week ago you were talking about how shitty it was not having a nice car and all and now look at ya, now you just have to save up for that ring i'm definitely getting a wrx for a daily driver when the si is paid off and i can make it my 'weekend warrior', but for now, i can't afford it.
