Why its nice to be my neighbor(2.5 RS turbo install PICS!!)
 
Well My neighbor is a cool guy and has a Subaru 2.5RS. So we decided to turbo it. Here is the pics. The first day we made the up pipe and down pipe. Wes (my neighbor installed the injectors and the S-AFC)

Before.

Up pipe

Down Pipe. My internal wastegate madness. Had to cut the factory one to make room.

Day 2 is where we got going. Hotrex came over bright and early to get it moving!

Up pipe and down pipe needed clearancing :P

See not much room!

Josh made this custom intake to clear the FPR and accept the Recirculated BOV(its MAF)

Oil retun was a -----. Josh did it nicely around the front.

http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/we...ZkMzF5NTQx.jpg

DONE!
http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/we...ZkMzF5NTQx.jpg

Wes's wideband didnt work right so we richened it up and he took it out at 3 psi. It worked as it should. Just need to tune it. He was really happy and it was a good time overall. He will be running around 6 psi after we get his WB working.

Once again HMT North East owns you!

Lemme know how it goes...my g/f has a '02 impreza rs that she wanted turbo'd at one point, do you think it'd be much different to do? Also, what kind of injectors did you use and what size are they? She'd ---- herself if she came home one day and her car was boosted...score some browny points ya know O0

Injectors, and intercooler are from a WRX
BOV is Bosch
BOV flange is custom CSaddict
Downpipe is custom CSaddict
Up pipe is custom CSaddict
Intake with recirc tube custom Hotrex gangster edition
Oil feed line was from www.lsdmotorsports.com
mandrel bends were from www.lsdmotorsports.com
Apex-i S-AFC
Autometer Phantom boost gauge
Innovate LC-1 WB once it works

Im totally out of touch with subby's but I would think thats what the "up-pipe" was for or no?

hotrex 10-31-2005 10:43 PM

Re: Why its nice to be my neighbor(2.5 RS turbo install PICS!!)
 
the uppipe mated to the stock manifold. no turbo manifold needed, what u see attached to the turbo was the only mod needed to use the stock mani.

Not a good idea on the EJ25.

Nice turbo install. I love the 99-01 RS's. Damn good looking cars.

Re: Why its nice to be my neighbor(2.5 RS turbo install PICS!!)
 
He plans on running 5 psi, Those motors don't like much boost.

I never said a stock turbo rs. As for slow I prolly have a faster car then you :6
Nice setup still

you may have a faster car but you still proved their point :1

anyway yeah the stock motors are pretty weak but fortunately so are the trannies so that might give out before the motor does (similar to chryslersfix to their horrible auto trannys, just make the u-joint weaker)

Lets see it then.

hotrex 11-01-2005 07:25 PM

Re: Why its nice to be my neighbor(2.5 RS turbo install PICS!!)
 
hha on the same boost level as a stock wrx. the 2.5rs would def be faster.

and yeah, wheres this rocket ship.

my buddy has a 2.5 rs with a legacy motor ej22 .... for some reason even with a aftermarket boost controller .. tried 2 different ones.. it wont boost pass 6psi ...well it will but its either 15psi with turbo spike or 6 no in between we fuct with the mbc's for like an hour or so .. do they have some sort of fuel cut off or some ---- stock ?

If I had known they made a turbo one(which they don't) I would have bouoght one. You are slow.And yes a turbo rs will beat stock wrx( which is turbo) are you catching on! sounds like by the way you talk, I could beat you in a ford fiesta. But I'm sure your is fast, so you say! But atleast you relieze it was a nice setup!

you might be fighting the computer, alot of stock turbo cars use lower WG springs (like 6psi) and use the computer to regulate the boost level.

From point one I stated that the "stock turbo wrxs" are slow , I never said anything about the RS being slow or me being faster. As from what I can see my car is faster than hotrexs rocket ship on jackstands. So to recap I said the setup looked good and said the "stock turbo wrxs" are slow and I get E-thuged, I expected something gay from hotrex but not from noobs and respectable members ::)

Jcushing 11-09-2005 08:48 AM

Re: Why its nice to be my neighbor(2.5 RS turbo install PICS!!)
 
stock wrx's arent slow, they just arent FAST. for a stock car especially considering the shitty tires they come with they are pretty respectable. i dont really like driving one though cause they feel sluggish/laggy UNLESS your ripping through all the gears. that and they are heavy and you can tell when you drive it.

I think its pretty easy with my mig then again it has taken me a while. I wanna buy my TIG next month. Any tips? Anyways nice looking car its good to see something other than honda. Stock 2.5 RS turbos are so slow I got two! LOL
