Default ok i hate to ask this


seriously i have searched and searched...

can someone tell me if a turbo from an 07 2.5 wrx will push a gsr to 6-8 lbs and not max out..
i understand that the 2.0 and 2.5 sized turbo's are the same.. working a subaru theres a ton of them and their cheap. almost free

thanks in advance.

You wont max out one at that boost level, however, you may have compressor surge issues if you crank the boost and manage to spool it at an insanely low rpm. I killed 2 16g's on a b18b with a log manifold that way....

ok.. so let me ask this.. how many lbs can one get out of these into a b18c?

im going to run a reg blox mani and e-bay ic piping & intercooler. its the cheap route but i figure i will spend decent cash on injectors,bov,wastegate and tune... ok set up that will be efficent... i figure 6-9lbs max.. just enough to smoke a g35 on command.. seems like everyone in the chicago area has one.. funny they all act like its a ferrari.

eg's are slept on alot. i cant wait ** warms hands** :P

also christ my lead tech has 4 or 5 of them.. one from an sti (0 i know a few of them are for sale.. i will ask him how much he will want for 2 or 3.. i know hes got a few projects hes going to use them on..

The sti and wrx have different snails. The sti's bring quite abit of cash as where the wrx is right around one bill. I say scrap up a few and sell them and get a decent snail.

wrx's are lucky to make 300whp on a stock turbo.

mine really kicks at 66% throttle, at 100% i make 400whp

the turbo can do 200k rpm's near the peak of its ability, hows it flow for 10psi? look for a compressor map.
