why???
most people wouldn't bother with the non turbo.
luckily those retarded Facebook pages don't represent the general impreza owner just the retarded ones,similar to sioc.

One turbo and one non turbo here..

The non turbo is nothing special, just a standard faithful daily.

jaygsi

You say that but every new member on here seems to own one, i was just wondering if theres more non turbo owners over turbo owners

I own a turbo and non turbo, nothing wrong with the non turbo good daily runner

Lol i knew you wouldn't be far behind

Jayjay100

You get haters wear ever u go mate . & scooby net has lots of them .
For them that have non turbo , is there much diff in them what bhp do they have . If the uk 2000 has 216 bhp what do the non uk turbos has .

jaygsi

iTrader: (46)

There is a big difference, the uk non turbo models have 125bhp, in other words same power as a saxo vts with more weight. I'm guessing with a few modifications you could get 150bhp. But in standard form there lacking nearly 100bhp less

fat-thomas

iTrader: (4)

and weigh a lot more too

jaygsi

iTrader: (46)

I think you take a look at what i wrote again

fat-thomas

iTrader: (4)

i never read too closely as its usually b0llocks and added in to you were replying to the forums retard i read it even less

Jayjay100

Weight is everything . Lol . Remind me not to get a non turbo . 125bhp thats not a lot .

I have one as a daily driver, there not bad cars, good if you live somewhere that requires 4x4, or for safety in winter. But instead of a turbo then no

Reread what you put makes no sense, and you tell me about my English

RS_Matt

The NA boys are pulling off some pretty impressive 0-60 foots in the US with subtle mods.

Not many threatening the 14's though.

jaygsi

iTrader: (46)

Have the US lads got the 2.0 8v or the 2.0 16v engine though?

RS_Matt

Majority state 2.5 RS. But either way the NA isn't tuned it's detuned. Mods should release impressive power compared to it's peers.

Has there never been a 2.5 Imp sold in the UK?

jaygsi

iTrader: (46)

No that i know of. Unless theres one in newage form. Having a bigger engine will help.

I bet the 2.5 engine is 16v and running more like 170bhp mark. So that would make a big difference. 2.0 8v engine is not eeay to tune without great cost. Plus i've never seen any tuning parts for the non turbo 2.0 models, apart from decat or sports cat and filter.

Have you?

RS_Matt

Nope, the car is an unknown quantity over here and the US guys have to fabricate to go past 200bhp.

Certainly easier and cheaper in the short run to go FI but I'd love a company like SC, Enginetuner or RCM take up the challenge of making the UK's quickest NA Imp.

RS_Matt

The 16v SOHC Impreza RS features a 2.5-liter, horizontally opposed four cylinder. It cranks out 165 horsepower at 5,600 rpm, but more importantly, it has an impressive 166 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm.

Stock performance: 0 to 60 in 7.8 seconds, to 100 in 24.4, and 16.1 seconds at 85 mph through the quarter. - fair.

A few good breathing mods and that's a fun car. Just a shame MPG isn't drastically improved from the NA aspect.

Am I right in thinking the RS version was a 2.5 classic for a time?

jaygsi

iTrader: (46)

Yes i believe it was in America, but were not in America. 165bhp for a 2.5 litre is insanely poor, Renault clio 182 has a 2.0 16v non turbo engine and running alot more bhp, 182bhp.

Japan produce a 2.0 16v Impreza that knocks out 155bhp, think i'd prefer that over the 2.5.

Plus American fuel has a low Octane level, believe its as low as 91. Might aswell use water

RS_Matt

Like I say the NA's are detuned with an onus on providing low rev power and driveability which sacrifices top end power.

jaygsi

iTrader: (46)

All American cars are detuned then

Aside from the NA 125bhp base model UK Classic Impreza, IIRC, we also got a NA Turbo 2000-lookalike...

I think it was called a "GL" (maybe "GT"?) and put out 155 or 160PS from its NA 2.0 EJ.
