Mr.Atlantis Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 More aggresive cams will play a huge role. Plus anything taken from the shaft, i.e. replace harmonic balancer w/underdrive pulley, and/or a lighter flywheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Atlantis Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 ...or were you not planning on taking the motor out again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacy603 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 I'm trying not to pull it again until I have another daily driver so I can take my time I was almost considering a turbo swap but still unsure about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legacy603 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Just not sure if I want to put in that much work or if I should just wait until tax time and go for the wrx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 The easiest way to do a turbo swap is to swap the whole car for one that came with a turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) you'll never be satisfied if you want something that performs. if you're doing it for fun, to tinker and play, for novelty and to tell friends it's a beast, "all show and no go", then do whatever you want. it doesn't matter, the gains to be had are very minimal and not worth it unless you're "already in there" for something else so to speak. playing with an NA engine always leaves you wanting otherwise, ends up being a constant cycle, trying, more work, more money....like you've already done - it'll just keep going that way and never end. of course then a turbo engines opens up another obstacle....tweaking it - larger this leads to larger that leads to better flowing this leads to blown engines so you better get treated that, machined this....LOL decide "how much" you want - and go make it happen.

legacy603 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Yea I did some thinking and I'm going to wait it out until I get the next car looking at imprezas but after I get the new one I'll pull the motor work with the cams do the pullies and and if that's no big deal its something I am just doing for fun at least it will sound mean lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
