Subaru Wrx History The Subaru WRX began life as a Impreza in 1992. The econo-car chassis was a hot-rod turbocharged flat-four engine and sophisticated and effective suspension system. The car was a huge success in World Rally Championship racing for the next decade. In 2002 the Impreza and the WRX was completely overhauled, and for the first time the WRX model was included in the U.S. lineup. The U.S. got a car that had almost all the performance of the coveted Japan- and Europe-market WRX cars, for a bargain basement price. Over 18,000 WRX's sold out in only nine months. From a tuning standpoint, the WRX has huge potential. The 2.0-liter horizontally-opposed boxer motor has a ten-year history of aftermarket performance tuning, and has also demonstrated incredible resiliency even in when tuned to produce vastly increased horsepower numbers. The Impreza chassis has always been extremely capable, but the latest car is even better. The Wrx EJ20 turbo 2.0-liter motor is an amazing. Straight out of the box, the WRX generates 227 horsepower, For 2004 Subaru wrx came out with the STI model with a EJ25 which is a 2.5L turbo motor. Right off the show room the wrx Sti has a amazing 300 hp! The STI can do 0-60 in 4.9 seconds, and runs a 13.3-second quarter mile. With simple bolt-on parts we can increase the horsepower of the WRX either standard or STI to over 400. This will make the WRX faster than nearly anything on the road
To unleash the increased power from your turbo-charged motor, you need to allow the WRX turbocharger to breath more freely, on both the intake and exhaust sides of the motor. changing your stock WRX exhaust system and air intake Is a quick and easy way to start. When you have opened up the WRX intake and exhaust as much as you can, you can switch to a larger turbocharger for even more power. When adding a larger turbo to WRX you must also upgrade your fuel system. A larger fuel pump like a Walbro 255lph is a great choice for your wrx and sti. Lager injectors are nessasary as well, RC Engineering,Power Enterprises and Sti are all great manufactures. To make all your new WRX high performance parts work together you will have to upgrade the WRX ECU with a Cobb AccessPort or TurboXS UTEC Delta. When upgradingyour WRX turbo It's smart to upgrade the intercooler with either a larger top mount intercooler or if you really plan to add more power a front mount intercooler is much more efficient. Greddy, Hks, Perrin, APS have many different styles to choose from.
