'New Performance Numbers

[EJ20H-TT]

Power rises from 115kw to 121kw or 5%

0-62

Old 10.2 secs
New 8.33 secs

50-75

Old 8.0 sec
New 6.03 sec

Pretty good figures for the 2.5 Flat four

Part due to the fact of decreased weight, sleeker profile, perhaps different gearing, and likely a bit better power curve if the peak #'s stayed the same.

BTW, might want to change the post name to 'New Performance #'s' or something to not be misleading. ;)

yes sir mister senior contributor

[SUBE555]

Just trying to make it easier for everyone in the long run. ;)

DOODIE! now when anyone does a search for doodie they'll get stats on new performance numbers

Any word on AVCS or AVLS for the 2.5 NA? In theory we shoud see ~210hp and ~170+tq. You'd think it'd be worth it ... hmm ...

[SUBE555]

We've talked about this before 375. ;) No AVCS with the SOHC heads or it would change the timing on both intake and exhaust, potentially not a good thing, and we are not very likely to see AVLS either.

Not sure where you are pulling those power figures from either.

[3.75L H6]

ought to put the GT engine in all Leggy's then, minus the turbo, since it has the AVCS. If you gave it AVLS also, making around 85 hp/liter like it has in the 3.0, then you'll get around 210+hp NA. meh I don't know.

[SUBE555]

It's not as nearly simple as you think. There are a LOT of different factors to consider, not just a couple of key technologies. You'd have to be running on the extreme edge of OEM tuning for NA which just isn't feasible for Subaru in this market when turbo motors can do the job more cost effectively.

Japan has a high-output 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, but that is what that market desires. Over here, they just wouldn't sell that well, other than to a core group of cult enthusiasts, like the old GC/GM/GF guys/gals. Not enough to justlfy producng such an engine at this point and time is my take.

I wouldn't mind, especially for the Impreza line, an engine setup to serve as an alternative to the ITR/RSX/TSX engine series and the QR25 in the Nissan SE-R, and with a sizeable amount of torque if tuned to the very edge of manufacturer limits. Would be one fun and tossable package if designed slightly more agressive than the old machines, but as I said, the market for that is really questionable considering Subaru has the WRX. If they were to drop that in favor of a base TS, a high-output 2.5 and one or two 2.5L turbo tunes, MAYBE to garner a lower price-point if it's possible. Just too many unknowns for Subaru to try at this point IMO.

Racing class competion would play a big factor in this, I assume, like Porsche's GT3.

Hmmm, and all motor 250/250 WRX. With potential for more, naturally (and naturally), of course.

[SUBE555]

Well, that would REALLY be tipping ths scales, but with enough money, anything is possible. :)

Holy crap I just did a search for doodie and came across this thread! It is good to know about the new performance numbers!

is that for auto or manual?
