This video, this car in particular, cost me a LOT of money. I watched this video over and over and over, and finally couldnt take it anymore, and built a GT35R powered Subie for myself.
@superbman84 Not too much as at the time I was still running the JDM v7 2.0 motor with a GT30R turbo. That setup dynoed ~390whp on a low reading mustang dyno (~450'ish on a dynojet). The TT cobra was recently built when that video was taken and was putting down ~500whp (dynojet) on 91 octane pump fuel.
The setup in this video was making ~485whp on the same dyno (~560whp dynojet) and was considerably faster than the setup in the Cobra video :)
@Ranger0861 depends if you do the work yourself but if you buy a WRX and what that kind of power you are looking at a 6 speed swap or getting a dog box trans built for your car. looking at 4-5k just right there then a 35r with all the proper mods with it, injectors, fuel pump, FMIC, fuel rails etc. add another 4~6k. Then you need to build the engine and your looking at between 3-5k more depends all on what kind of parts you buy. If you have a shop build it your looking at a lot more $.
@158158cow If the USDM STi was available in late 2002 then I would have definitely purchased it ;) The car was actually intended to be my winter car for trips up to the snow but changed quite a bit over the years.
Very nice car overall. Clean looks and it pulls like a mofo. Nice shifting on the driver's part too, not just grinding and clutch dumping like so many others who think they can drive. Just watch the speeds on busy roads though.
@04mustangsvtcobra its not good at all to replace the internals once they break, because instead of just replacing them once they break your going to have to empty out your wallet since almost everything else got ruined with pieces of metal bouncing around inside..its always best to not wait too long and if you make the choice and have the money of wanting to make big power replace internals immediately as stock internals cant handle big power
@pbkid201 I was asking just about the axels. I hear thats a weak point in wrx's. After having a built Cobra, I know about expenses and building a project. That's why I have a wrx tr now as my base. Just wondering about the axels...
I have a wrx with 485 AWHP and im still running stock axels all i have ever done to them is fix the passenger side boot due to the EWGburning it (poor placement on my part)... this car is sick keep it up.
@Bubbly05subie Okay cuz i was going with a 2.6 stroker in mine and doing a possible Holset VGT or Borg Warner S300 in a twin scroll setup. Wanted to push about mid 500 HP & TQ. I've just read horror stories of axels snapping and I can't find any aftermarket ones for wrx's online. Maybe I didn't look hard enough idk. But if they'll hold up good, then looks like this winter I'm starting my build
Ya you should be okey the only thing i would worry about is trans, with that much hp you will want a good clutch and the stock 6 speed will be fine but if you want to go the more outrageous rout you can always have a 5 speed with straight cuts built.... but good luck
@Bubbly05subie yea i already got my spec stage 3 six puck broken in and all. so im good with that. im debating on doing ppg or doing the 6 speed swap. id love it for its durability and fuel economy just cruising in 6th. thanks a lot tho, just gotta order the rest of my parts now. thanks for the luck
@Bosanac199pete well I have another project I'm working on at the same time, so I don't really have all my money devoted to the TR. Gotta share the goods. I can't even find a full 6 speed swap at all, let alone for cheap
@DrivnSc00by i <3 scoobys, its my dream car, but with david buscher and ams performance making 9 second full interior street cars...its impossible to rank an sti above an evo, or an evo above an sti.....STi=Evo they are both the meanest awd turbos around...you gotta love em both
Gears seem too short. Beautiful car tho! Did I miss power numbers somewhere? I left a video comment of my EJ205 powered WRX. It made 405awhp on pump gas and just under 500awhp on 110oct. Dogbox transmission, AEM, blah blah blah....
my buddy might have a gt35r on his wrx that has the ej20 spools pretty quickly i think but also im not stepping on the gas either so idk about his throttle response.
and also idk if its is a gt35r i just know that he went from stock turbo to a pretty big one in one step but he ofc. has all the supporting mods too..
@bman409 its pointless on an ej20 it just takes to long to spool a gt30r would be a nice setup but again spool time...20g's are a good choice my buddy has that setup on a 05 wrx wagon
im not familliar with the jdm bug eye sti but im guessing you will need to uprade injectors or whole fuel system and intercooler to as well as a alot of tuning
It is the bugeye from the twin turbo cobra race. I remember when Dan was selling some parts on the forums, the exhaust is a HKS carbon ti with an extra resonator welded on.
nice this is deffinently the nices wrx i've seen on youtube. Just a question if i decide to go with the 6speed transmission from an Sti will it bolt up to my EJ20 motor or do i need anything extra
prepare to spend some serious cash, a fully 2.5 swap tranny axles diff everything is probably about 8 to 10 grand worth of parts and labor best of luck though
