LGT parts for 2.5i

Hoping to make this an official LGT parts for the 2.5i 5th gen thread if anyone would like to contribute

 

Okay so the only threads I have found that have anything to do with LGT parts (mainly searching for performance mods) for the 2.5i Legacy have only pertained to the 4th gen Legacy.

 

Does anyone know if manufacturers like AVO are developing a turbo kit for the 5th gen 2.5i like they did for the 4th gen? Or any other manufacturers for that matter? Perhaps even some headers? Anything at all including or other than just performance mods? Let us know please!

AVO (Paul Hansen) told me that they are developing a turbo kit for the FB25 2.5i (2013 & 2014).

There is nothing power wise that will swap over to your 2014 FB motor from the 2010-2012 GT EJ motor.

 

Handling wise, you already have better suspension than the GT ever got.

 

Cosmetically, you could swap your wheels, hood, floor mats and carbon fiber dash/door trim to GT parts.....but why?

This is amazing news! At the gym atm and I just let out a quite loud "fuq yes!"

True, cosmetically I'm not as concerned, I'll go my own path on that one

Any word on any sort of headers that can go on the FB25?

 

As GTEASER mentioned previously, EJ parts don't translate over to the FB motors but is there any sort of aftermarket header that can be used to beef up the FB25?

 

I'm basically trying to rack up all the possible performance parts (turbos/superchargers or not) that could squeeze out even some power from the FB25. THERE'S GOTTA BE SOMETHING!

t-minus 18 months until the fragile seam weld knock-offs!

(Yeah, and for that much cash I think I'll wait)

i dont know about any engine mods but suspension wise im running 2012 LGT swift springs on my 2013 2.5i

I am pretty sure, if you have a 6mt, the shift knob will swap over with only a slight modification

^^this guy lol

Fiddling around with different knobs, next thing you know you have an STI on it.

Any word from Paul Hansen at AVO about the turbo kit for the FB25?

You should see if AVO has a facebook page, I have found companies that do, keep them more up to date than most other forms of media and will answer questions pertaining to their products rather quickly.

 

Raptor does, you could try them out as well to see if they have anything in the works for your car. The turbo kit for the 2.5i was a long time coming when it did come out I can't imagine the newer models are going to be incredibly different, except of course the cvt part of the power equation...will it hold?

Based on estimates made by MRT Performance the CVT can hold up to 300 ft lbs of torque but that'd be pushing it tremendously
