SUBARU Impreza 2.0 GX Sport 4WD Tuning
Hi my brother has a blob eye 2004 SUBARU Impreza 2.0 GX Sport 4WD for sale. He says he will sell it to me cheap, but before I get it I want to know about tuning. Can any one help... How much BHP can you get out of it...? Can you turbo it to make it like a wrx...? Or can you do a engine swap? I know a lot of people will post back saying it will be cheaper to just buy a wrx but I can get this sport cheap! :norty: Any info about tuning, how much hp it can get, prices, ect would be great thanks!!! :Whatever_

Doesn't really matter if you get it for free - it would probably still work out cheaper to buy a WRX.
Engine - Gearbox - Loom - Hubs - Brakes....... the list goes on to build a turbo, and then the insurance will be more than a turbo after you declare that little lot :thumb: |
Just enjoy the sport mate, great wee cars I was in one (a bug) for over 5 years and they are great, don't know about bhp probably around 130, but easier to insure and so on, a converted motor would spanking you silly with the insurance

agree forget the swop and enjoy it or go for the premade wrx/sti with the ugraded everything and save cash

I think the gx is 157 bhp I think the classic was 123 bhp
There good cars too start out with just have fun in it don't good mad Modding has for turboing far too much cost |
Pretty much reiterating what has already been said. With the usual mods you would be lucky to get 170bhp.

Not worth tuning in any way, shape or form. I bought a classic Sport for the Mrs and had a quick look at tuning but decided against it. The cost to wring a few extra bhp out of it just simply wasn't worth it. I just stuck some gold 17" ST2's on it and changed the manifold to an un-equal length one with a turbo back box welded on to the standard pipework.

I would say you are looking at the best part of £4k to convert it properly....still sound cheap?
If it was that easy, don't you think you'd find a conversion kit on t'internet? :thumb: |
