Just got this '08 Impreza 2.5i on Wednesday. Was doing some research and was going to put a new intake manifold, computer tuning, whole new exhaust system, and finally pulleys on it. This enough you think to get the car into the low 200 hp range?

0/10 post...also a waste on dubs

/o/ probably won't know, have you tried hitting up a Subie board instead?
>>14682838
No. Short of doing major work on the engine, you're not going to hit 200 HP. intakes will add about 1 HP in reality. exhaust systems can add 10-20, pulleys, maybe 2-4. You're not getting anywhere close to 200.
Enjoy the Impreza for what it is, a comfortable sedan. Save all the money you would spend on a shitty intake, pulleys, exhaust and spend it instead on a fun car that can grow with you.
>>14682838
Not even close. Your engine makes 170ish hp at the crank, not the wheels.
You're better off modding the suspension and getting some ZR spec tires

170bhp base
>Intake 1
>Exhaust system 20
>pulleys 4
>not mentioning computer tune
1+4+20+170=195bhp-lack of computer tune
>nowhere near 200bhp
wut

*sigh* yea I guess I should try a subaru containment thread
>>14682981
Better question, who tunes N/A Subaru engines these days?
>>14682981
That 20 was being extremely generous assuming an extremely restrictive stock exhaust. On that Impreza, you'll be lucky to see 5 HP.
>>14683003
I mentioned in in the thread start I was doing from the headers all the way back to the exhaust tips....the whole exhaust system
>>14682995
some poorfag who doesn't feel like changing the whole bottom end of his engine and just wants something to be in the very low 200hp range
>>14683009
again. the exhaust on N/A Impreza's isn't all that restrictive. and neither is the intake.
You want a surefire way to hit 200 HP? cams, valvesprings and a tune.
>>14683022
I've got an '00 OBS and fail to see any point in building up the stock motor
>gimme dat EG33
>>14683031
thanks tripfag, and I mean that sincerely
>>14683085
since the heads have to come off to replace the valve springs, have the heads ported too. more airflow means more power.
>>14682981
>exhaust system 20

Exhaust, and intake won't do shit without an engine tune and rebuild.
More flow won't matter if the engine isn't made to use that flow.

rip
>>14683022
Is there really a bottom end in a boxer engine? Wouldn't it be more correct to call it building the middle?
>>14682838
is it a manual or CVT?

>buying the worst body style in decades
Why?
Also don't waste your money on mods. Why didn't you just save up a bit more and buy a WRX? See too many retards buying the cheap version, then spending thousands trying to make it something it isnt.
