W-T-F... 30 lbs of boost in an sti -- too many motors.. uhh okay?
I don't mean to call bs or anything but err -- anyone who is/was a part of the subaru community between the landing of the MY02 wrx and now would know that 30psi on any subaru motor is suicidal -- let alone completely out of reference for such a little motor.
The older impreza was a bone stock sti v7 swap -- I also had an 02 wagon that I had brand new off the lot, at 50k the motor dropped and from there I went crazy; I was running a 2.2 liter old school (oil squirter) block with ported wrx heads, JUN 272 cams, no tumblers, and a homemade copycat of "Ultimate Racing's" setup -- including but not limited to a T4 with a 38mm external WG, fmic, 785cc injectors and methanol injection; transmitting through a used drivetrain that I picked up for just under 2800 -- dog box and kaaz 1.5 diffs. Car made 444whp, 414wtq at 19 psi. Vehicle had more in it but it was my daily driver, a wagon, and got more than 20k a month put on it (I sell home appliances and fences, 400 mile sales radius). To this day I miss that car -- and as of right now, having a buddies sti here that I am working on; I would take the wagon over the sti anyday. For the money that the sti is worth, the wagon is more comfortable, and more consistent.
As per the 7500rpm with a stock bottom end; meh, I still wouldn't do it. There is no reason to, period.Yeah there are lots of people who do do it, but I'd rather have a powerband/arc from say idle to 6000 rpm with full on balls to the walls torque instead of peaking at like 6500 with bajillion horsesl. But thats just me.
You want high revving nutbusting action? Then stay away from stock equipment and/or lean toward the import/dark side of things
.
I've been a stang guy all my life and let me say one last thing -- Ze Ls1 > Ze 5.0 for revving past 5k.
It was a nice car -- but I had to get back into a foxbody.
