Well let me start out by saying there is no 1992 Impreza.
| cindergarden | 09-18-2002 03:51 PM |
well since hes the first to say that let me be the first to actually answer your question :lol: um they go from a 93-01 and no they arent EXACTLY the same for the most part they are though the main difference in BODY that i know of are the headlights, hood, and grill from a 93 and hten they switched in 96+ the early version headlights were rounded and the later ones slanted the grills were differnt and the hood from a 96+ features the ridges found on the RS hood but with no vents also the RS hodd as the scoop and vents some one correct me if im wrong

okay 93-01 GC8 Impreza. I am sorry about the years. I am new to the Subie world.
What I really want to do it get the 93-95 because it's cheaper and add a bodykit to it.
Something like the C-west kit. So other then the lights,hood, and the fenders they are pretty much the same car correct?
the rear of the GC8 is that same right?
Thanks for the information, great board

The rear of the 1st generation Impreza is still the same throughout the years. The MY98 or MY99-MY01 Impreza has the clear headlight design. Halogen i think...
There are engine differences also ranging from 1.8L-2.2L-2.5(RS). Also there are drivetrain differences such as FWD and AWD versions. The interior of the early Impreza are also different from the later Imprezas.
Adding a body kit would make the car look very nice. There are C-West, SYMS, Zero Sports, Prova, STi Sports Kit...
You can also save money for Power mods. But you'll have to decide on your decisions...(it's your car)

I am going to get the lower grade GC8, found one for under 3K the body is in great condition, It's AWD 5 speed.
I will turbocharge it later, but I want the look first cause the one I am getting is the L model and it needs some help in the cosmetic side of the plan
Thanks

3k is a great deal btw. What engine was in it if you remember?
| Blugin | 09-19-2002 02:31 AM |
If you want to see examples of some really nice L's, this thread might give you some ideas.

I think it's an 1.8, but I am not sure, I also found an wagon too 3500.00 97 forest green
Thanks
Thanks

The body itself is pretty much the same.
There is FF and AWD drifference and that's about it.
From 99 it's got the Forester interior.
I don't recommend you to jump on cheep ones.
Find a nice one with the right color you want.

simon = silly, but correct, the impreza existed in jp for a year before it made it to the US (or it could just be the differance in the MY numbering) simon what was you date of production?
i have a 93 awd, bought it for $1800 (build date 11/92)
it needed
clutch~200
drive axels ~180
plugs and wires ~30
then went kinda nuts
read drum-disk conversion
RS brakes in front
agx+eibach prokit+ALK
looking for clip or motor+ecu to do a swap

which engine is better to turbocharge?
1.8 or 2.2
btw: are these engines easy to rebuild, and are the parts pretty cheap?

Well, neither is "better" to turbo charge since you cant get alot of power out of the 1.8 and the 2.2 has a single port exhaust which makes it sucky...
Better to drop in an EJ25 and keep it N/A or go all out and get a WRX engine (EJ20)

The engines are basicly the same overall, you have to take the same precautions and do the same things to turbocharge it. Parts are fairly readily accessable, cheap enough compared to say BMW parts. The design is simple, been around for a long time, and Subaru used the EJ series engines in alot of cars, over alot of years starting in 89/90, and still using it to this day with very minor updates. That should be a testament to their robustness.

The 2.2 does not have a single port exhaust in all years, and in the older style, I don't think any of them had it. And in reality, the single port exhaust isn't a bad thing whatsoever. Aftermarket headers are availible, and I've even heard speculation that they flow better due to a more ballenced runner length.
If you're looking to make maximum power, aim for a 2.2, if you just want a good kick the 1.8 is sufficient, and upgrading to a 2.2 isn't that big of a hassle. Get ahold of Subachad, he has a 1.8 turbo, and seems to like it. I'm working on adding a turbo to my 2.2 OBS as we speak.

No power out of either of them. thats crap man. In a car that is possibly 2500 pounds 200 horses could decimate many a japanese cars. Talk to subachad. He did a project on turboing the 1.8. And I am looking into this right now. It could almost double the hp at the wheels.

my98 rs ej25(doch and boost friendly) but for the best results get an ej20 and stroke it to 2.2L. just like the 22b...bigger engine better low-end torque.....plus the ej20 already has a low compression ratio in the 8's. so it should easily handle ur turbo....

Sure, but chad told me in person his car is around as fast as an N/A RS :p
A turbo kit costs between 1100 and 1500 or more if you go for quality parts and dont cut costs... Reliability would be a massive issue, and it can take forever to get the car to run properly.
I can get a EJ25 for $900, find a stock ECU for cheap as nails, toss a decent intake and a full exhaust system and run low 15's/high 14's no problem!
If there were a quality kit for 1.8's, then it might be worth while... but I'm not a fan of DIY turbos after seeing how many problems folks have had with such setups on subaru's.
But, the good thing is you could always blow up the 1.8 with the turbo kit and then go get another engine later...
Eh, I just dont have the money to think so liberally about turbos and stuff :p

say if I have an AWD 2.2 or 1.8, and I want to drop an EJ2.5 or JDM EJ2.0 do I need the trans and rear diff?
Who much is the going price for the EJ20?
What is a good deal on the ECU's?
Anyone have information on subachad's project or better yet how do I get a hold of him?
Thanks

I have a 1.8 turbocharged and im not having any problems. I got my up and down pipes from chad, w/ a WRX turbo and a Saab900 intercooler and it work great!! Im running 7psi with stock injectors (soon to be upgraded to WRX injectors) and a vortech rrfpr and i love it. Chad is a great guy to deal with and his products are made very well!!
I plan to put a 2.2 that i have sitting around and put that in my car w/ the turbo but dont have an ECU. If someone can find me one for a 95 that wouls be great.
Chris

simon = silly????
My WRX's production date was Dec 92, it's engine number is in the 3000 range which is one of the first true production batch.
It's a 4dr JDM WRX (or was ...) I imported it myself, it's been ummm slightly modified since i got it.
Cheers

-i've got a (early) 96 L Coupe with single port exhaust and borla headers, the (later) model 96 L had dual port exhaust. (The production date for mine is 12/95).
-The hood, grille, headlights and front bumper changed in 1997.
***if you are putting a kit on your L you will either have to change the bumper beam to RS or lightweight JDM or cut it.
-The bumper changes again in 1999 (not sure about '98 or years past '99)
- i was told by a vendor, that the rear bumper cover stayed the same until about 2001? i think...
- I would like to turbo mine soon, but i think i'm going more in the direction ej20t swap mated to my 2.2 tranny (5 spd) with an aftermarket ecu.
