EA82T, Easy 130-140hp? (not asking for directions)


Recommended Posts

Since I've got my coupe running, more or less properly, You guys think I could get it to around 140hp pretty easily? Or should I take the time to drop an EJ22 into it? (You'd be surprised at how many there are up here, without cars attached) No, this isn't a, zomg tell me how 2 mak mah carrr fast! Just curious if the investment would be fit on something else entirely :) (And yes, I know I probably should have searched, but I'm off to bed soon)

 

You are only asking for 25 - 35hp more than you have stock. Header, exhaust and intercooler should be able to give you that without turning up the boost. Give your car a full tune-up and send your fuel injectors out to be cleaned (Ex: RC Engineering). Make sure your cooling system is up to par and enjoy driving.

if you slap an intercooler on your Stock EA-82T without uping the boost level, it would be slower because of the added lag time to charge the inter cooler, and after the lag there is a slight (very slight) boost drop after the intercooler, so just up it a couple pounds.

That would only apply if you were using an IC the size of a damned house.

 

How much extra time do think it takes to pressurize something the size of a WRX IC?

 

If the difference in lag time is more than 1/2 second with and without IC, I would be very surprised. Not to mention that LARGE intercoolers rarely produce more than 1 PSI drop.. And I mean Ford F650 large.

I decided to go for a spin in it today. 60 miles overall, cruising at 75. No problems, ran like a champ. I'll see about new exhaust when I can afford it as I have $1000 in bills and $400 check :\

 

When u can afford it? Go to Pep Boys or Autozone. Get yourself a cheap muffler (None of the louvered [sp?] core ones). That'll be a few bucks! Take it to Meineke, Midas, etc and get yourself some custom cat back piping made up. I think mine cost $80.00 to be done. Here are some pics-->

Intercooler gives a torque 'boost' at low rpms. It then tapers off to where the stock torque is at higher rpms. At least from my experience->
