Just a little something to drool about... more later

Troy

I'm talking about '04 GD.

 

[Watsonpa]

How am I supposed to seriously think about upgrading my RS when you keep teasing me with these STi tidbits?! If the 2004 is really coming and it's gonna be a 2.5T then I need to start saving my pennies now, DARN YOU!

 

[10th Warrior]

not gonna happen. why would subaru develop an entire new engine when they already have a really badass one?

 

[Silverscooby27]

'cause great engines, like even great pron stars eventually get old.

disclaimer: just makin' a funny. I cannot back-up the rumor above.

 

[G-UNIT]

its commin out out in 04 its in this months super street imdefanly want 1

delema share a nsx w/ my dad or get an sti wrx for myself:curse: bolth hooked up like it goin out of style

 

[T-WRX450]

Why?, for emissions reasons and cost - twin scoll turbos are not clean nor cheap.

Troy

 

[10th Warrior]

well, if its in super street then it must be true

the STi is coming, but it won't have a 2.5L engine.

 

[G-UNIT]

yea it says 2.0L if it was a 2.5L it would be a true ///M3killer(one of my other choices)if its a good car ill defanly get one the interor is gansterr as hell

 

[HondaH8er]

Not going to be a 2.5L because of WRC regulations. WRC cars must use engines based on the production car engine, and the max size per WRC rules is 2.0L, so. therefore, no 2.5T (unfortunately).

 

[10th Warrior]

you're thinking of Group A. in WRC class, you can run any turbocharged 4 cylinder (i think layout is homologated) with up to 2.0L of displacement. show me a 2.0L T 206 on the street not gonna happen. Group N is another matter though.

 

[Storm]

The Subaru WRC car is homologated in Japan already. What we would get here is irrelavent to that.

There's a nice discussion about this on the NASIOC forum. Definately have considerable interest in this.

Supposedly theres a few testmules running around now and as relaible info as one could get has verifyed the possibilty too.

of a 2.5L turbo STi?

 

[Storm]

Yes. The word is, there's three 2.5T's running around for durability tests. No word on what bodystyle they're in though. Could be Legacy, Forester, or maybe even a Impreza.(or all 3)

I just read a thread on sightings of the STi in Alaska. It doesn't mention the 2.5 powerplant anywhere, and it probably isn't....but the STi is around.

I wouldn't look for the 2.5T for ~at least~ another year or so. It would be a real nice surprise to see it sooner though.

 

[T-WRX450]

The High Altitude Testing has finished a couple of days ago...

A White updated body 6 speed STi w/ a engine not of the 2.0L variety was here in CO.

And they say it won't happen... When my white STi comes in March I'll let you guys be the first to see with pics.

[T-WRX450]

Well it has been announced STi a 2.5L Turbo

Check out the link www.impreza.subaru.com

300 hp 300 lb/ft. NICE!!!

Troy

 

[Lo0mis]

Damn, thats badass. So I guess those 6-speeds are pretty damn burley.

 

[DoorKnob]

Wow, I can't believe that they actually went and shoved a 2.5L into it. What's more, it's probably the fastest factory impreza ever. I would have thought that Subaru would have kept the fastest cars out in Japan, but I guess they smell the US money and hung their balls out. Not that I'm complaining.

As I understand it, the 6-speed is supposed to be good out to somewhere around 400hp (or lb-ft?).

 

[Lo0mis]

As I understand it, the 6-speed is supposed to be good out to somewhere around 400hp (or lb-ft?).

:drool::drool: Will it fit in a GM* chassis? Im sure it'll require new axles and diffs. I wonder if they have one without the DCCD.

 

[T-WRX450]

The 6 speed was tested by Option Magazine about two years ago and it was stabile to 450+ hp. It is much beefier than the 5 speed as you can see.
