....something about a guy being so fit that when he dies they'll have to cut his heart out and beat it to death with a stick.
Yeah the turbo ej22 was a beast ... one of the best Subaru ever built. That said, the later non-turbo ej22s take very well to boost too.4onthefloor wrote:I drive a lot of brand new 2013/2014 cars at work and I find even my 2007 to be raw feeling compared to the newer sedans.potownrob wrote:I personally ended up finding even my GD too old and raw for my liking. i'm one of those people who would probably end up liking a newer neutered impreza over the older more fun ones.
I've got a buddy with a '92 Legacy with the 2.2 turbo in it. He does next to no maintenance on the car, cranks the boost, and drives it like a madman and it never kicks the bucket. The body on the car is rotted out so he's taking out the engine and putting it in a new gen Legacy.potownrob wrote: the older 2.2 was said to be bulletproof
Since my posts here, I made a "Ganzflow" style air intake ... possibly one of the best intake designs for the MAP cars: it keeps the stock filter box (called the "torque box" in the Subaru world, and just replaces the 100 miles of plastic tubing that sucks air from under the hood with a straight piece of pipe that draws from the fender. Down low it feels exactly the same as the stock intake, mid range seems slightly better and it definitely wakes up above 4000 ... though it might just be the combination of the intake and exhaust.
