Suggestions for N/A Bodykit
I am attempting to take my RS as far as it can possibly go with what it has. Looking for 250 crank horsepower without turbo or nitrous. Going N/A I realize I am going to need every advantage I can get so Im looking at the body kit right now. So far I the only body pieces I am set on are the trial hood and a carbon fiber trunk. Im looking for suggestions on the front and rear bumpers, sideskirts and wings. Obviously I want pieces that look good, but I also want pieces that are aerodynamically suited for a N/A application. Thanks for any suggestions.

pretty 2.5 = still smoked by a wrx. Sell the car, count yer losses, realize that you bought the wrong car, and try again.

Do you have any idea how old that is getting. Yes I am well aware that a naturally aspirated Subaru is not the easiest or cheapest route to go. Have you never taken the road less traveled just for the hell of it. I tend to think that a 8000 rpm impreza running high 13's or low 14's would be pretty damn cool. If any one has some constructive comments please reply.

Ahh dont listen to him, but I would say forget a bodykit and save your money cause 250 NA hp is going to cost alot.
Or the you could just do the CF trunk and hood, at least you would be saving weight.

ignore noobs
"Gain every advantage possible?" I assume you mean weight advantage. If that's the case, sure, go with carbon fiber panels or just lighterweight stuff. A lot of vendors sell them. Just make sure they aren't "off road" only use or whatever. There's hoods, trunk lids, bumpers, etc. Check products section of i-club, classifieds forums, vendor websites. You might not need to get to 250hp to reach your performance goals if you save weight. Good luck.
And Wrex, you must be a noob. That wasn't very constructive. Way to antagonize the majority of i-clubbers.

Its great to hear from people who have a vocabulary that consists of more "than you should have got a WRX".
Bobalouy- I know its going to cost alot to do the motor/tranny, but its not a one or the other situation. I will have both done to the best of my checkbooks abilities.
tensecimpreza- Obviously weight is a huge concern with a N/A car so that will be a big factor, but I also want to work on the aerodyamics of the car. The impreza has the drag coefficiant of a brick. Thats why im set on the trial hood even though it may be a bit heavier than a carbon fiber hood. As far as lightening up the vehicle I will be putting on a carbon fiber trunk and maybe some lightweight door panels if I can remember where I saw them.
Anybody know if any of the companies that make kits for our cars do windtunnel testing? I could've sworn I heard that C-West does.

ill laugh my ass off when you meet up with a turbo RS at a stoplight.
oh yeah and my suggestion for body kit, im not sure how crazy you want to go or your tastes but... stever is making a widebody kit for coupes (not sure if hes going to do sedans) and it will be all CF i believe. it will also be about 2500 IIRC. Karbonlite also makes CF bumpers and skirts that look like the Apexi kit.
and i agree with the above about body kit. go for the power first. its going to cost bank for 250 N/A. youre looking at heads, cams, maybe even higher compression pistons, and ECU.

For a 250hp N/A RS you would have to go ballz out full blown race preped car... I doubt it would be streetable :p
As for aerodynamics, that wont help much on a dyno... But you could start with loosing the hoodscoop alltogether and doing a custom kit job ala gary sheehan's USTCC race car...

I was just say go with the power mods now, I put alot of money into the appearance of my car. (body parts, and seats), and now I wish I had just put the money into a turbo. My car doesnt back up the looks.

I think right know im leaning towards either the trial kit, apex'i kit or the prova eifel. Either way they'll have the trial hood and c/f trunk.

N/A01RS, I've been waiting for someone to go all out naturally aspirated. 250hp is going to be a hard to reach goal, but I am sure that with proper tunning it is def. possible. One thing to think about maybe destroking the crank so that you can rev the engine much higher. 250hp will be very very difficult to reach at 6250rpm, but with an 8000rpm rev limit it is certainly an attainable goal. Good luck and don't forget to let us know how it goes.

Chav- Once the Cobb Heads and Short Block are on I will install the Sti gauge cluster so my new redline will be 7900rpm. Cobb said my main problem with running a redline that high is that the stock intake maniflold cant flow enough air which is why im going with the syms style tubular manifold.
Im sure there are some math guys around here that can figure something out for me. With the stock RS gearing and a 7900rpm redline would I be able to make it through the 1/4 mile without having to shift into 4th?

| Andrew | 09-01-2002 05:24 PM |
honestly man...you are spending BANK to fix up your motor to run 250NA, why not spend 3-5k more on a turbo kit and push 15-20psi? then youll have 600hp
also you know that putting in a gauge cluster doesnt change your redline right? also i have never heard of syms making a manifold. and any manifold they make i would venture to say that its for the 2.0 heads.

Andrew- I am well aware that the sti gauge cluster doesnt automatically give the engine a 7900rpm redline, hovever the cobb heads, short block, intake manifold and such will. As for the syms intake manifold I said "syms style" and to the best of my knowledge they never actually made a production model. They just used it on their 2.5 N/A race car. Im simply going to have a custom one fabricated that will be similiar to the syms setup. If you go to the spo motorsports website they have pictures in their photo gallery.

the mods you listed wont increase your RPM, only the ecu can. maybe we are just getting our points mixed up. yes youll only reach those RPMs with what you listed but you can only raise the RPM by changing the signal from the ECU (thus the link2). :)

how ignorant WReX'n'Effect's is..... Hey good luck on your NA power goals. One suggestion i can give you is MRT headers. We had a dyno day a couple months ago and 2 NA RS's put down 150 at the wheels with just a cone intake filter and MRT headers and exhaust. I think they got the power out because the headers are equal length. Good luck

By the way its nice to know that im not the only one who gets irritated by people like WReX'n'Effect. Maybe I ought to go turbo just so I can drive out to cali and put his dumb ass in check! Na, it aint worth my time.

I don't know why I feel the urge to add my two cents here. Lord knows I have done some expensive and completely useless things to cars in my past. And just who am I to tell you what to do with your car. Well that's easy, I am nobody. And what I say, just like anybody else here, does not matter at all. It's your car. And whatever dreams you have, power to you. I just want to say something. Not to rain on your parade, but take the risk and play devils advocate. Feel free to ignore every last word I say. I am only saying this to try to help.
So with that being said:
This is not going to be the last car you ever own. You will have better, faster, more expensive cars. I don't know how old you are, or what kind of job you have. I don't know if you have another car to drive around for 6 months while your RS is being worked on or being tuned. I think you may have oversimplified how hard this is going to be. For instance, you don't "simply" have an intake made. Months of research must go into it a N/A intake system. They are much harder to design than say a turbo system. The price of that alone could cost thousands. I would suggest making due with an existing intake, and modifying it somehow. Try extrude-honing it. Your talking about a project that will cost you well over 10,000 dollars here. Cobb block, heads and engine management is at least 7 grand by itself. Just be sure you have the means to finish what you start. Setting realistic goals and accomplishing them is far more rewarding than setting out to make the pinnacle of engines only to fall short and be vastly poorer to boot. I know what its like to have a dream. You write down every last part you want to buy, you make lists. You estimate power, and picture yourself driving around town. Been there. Somehow it always takes far more money than we have.
For all I know you may be a lawyer, or a Biomedical Engineer with the funds and the resources to accomplish this task. You may be a high school teen-ager with super rich parents who are willing to give you whatever you want. You may have even won the lottery, or just received a huge settlement for something. If none of this is true, you may find financing your dream to be just that…. A dream.
But power to you. You have a 2001 RS. A great car by any comparison! Enjoy it for what it is now. I will stop this post. Feel free to ignore any or all of it. Does not matter to me, I am just trying to help.

As, far as my opinion on the body kit....Get the light weight bumper beams, a lip, and put some STi fog covers on there. That's the lightest way to go and with the money you aved from not buying a kit, you can have yourself a set of cams.
Good luck with it and let me know on your proggres.

WReX'n'Effect: uhm, NO!!! Must be one of those ricers that got a WRX and have no idea what it really can do. Did you know there are Impreza's in the US before the WRX?? Prolly not, just like everyone else around:lol:

Wrxneffect is so wrong. I think he has it backwards, he bought the wrong car. a gc8 is the classic traditional ever so good looking body style compared to the bug eyed monstrosity! (honestly, the new body style with the prodrive headlight conversion is not too bad, but gc8's still look WAY better!)
good luck N/A01rs on your n/a build up, a 2.5 revved upto 8000 rpm would sound amazing!:eek: :D

:monkey: :monkey: :monkey: all these monkeys still don't describe what a monkey you are =P
for my opinion for a body kit, you should get the prova eifel kit =) wind tunnel tested baby!

don't forget: maybe higher compression pistons will help to increase some torque and hp. Cobb has the 11:1 CR pistons i think the last time i checked. 12-14 CR piston will increase alot also.....it's just maybe more mantainance though, but as long as you're up to it;)

It depends what you're referring to. Stock N/A will not go up against stock WRX. But if you meant a PRETTY WELL DONE 2.5 then i think you have underestimated what's under the hood. Sure the EJ20T motor is great but the EJ25 is also great. The EJ25 motor is good in other ways than the EJ20. Better torque curve and more torque maybe. Both engine are capable of many things. There's nothing wrong with buying a 2.5 RS...

And by the way :monkey: :monkey: :monkey: to WRx em all for that first comment and that was my thread that he posted the dumb a$$ comment:"why dont you put ferarri horses on the fig light covers". This guy is a n00b ricer b!tch. (That was my first flame/vent since I became a member).
