Performance mods for a 2001 GTB Twin Turbo?

[sunnylong]

I think rev.D should have the new style headlight but I could be wrong. Someone told me if the car is produced in year 2000 but sold in year 2001 in Japan then it will be a year 2001...

So its a "C" :-)

Mines an 01 and still a C, not sure exactly when they changed. Thats a shame cause the D gets the ECU that can be flashed

There is really no point trying to get "more power", unless you have a specific use in mind. You can get it to rev a bit more, and you may gain a few horsepower at top revs, but you will be loosing more horsepower(than you gained) at revs below max.

Subaru have designed the whole car to be a unit, the gear ratios, the overall ratio, the weight are all accounted for to give you the best power combined with dependability.

You might get a few horsepower at top revs, but, at the expence of horsepower and torque down lower, and then find your ratios don't overlap enough and so you have to rev it hard all the time. The engines are designed to operate up to certain revs, everything from the rings to the flywheel are designed together. There is a very abrupt line between lasting and blowing!

If you want "more power", figure out what sort of power you need, and how much you can afford to compromise the longativity and reliability of your motor, then you can start planning.

Oh yes.

If you want to go faster try buying a lighter car with the same power. Like, umm, an Impreza. Try to get too much power and your legacy will die!!!

Yup, fix your handling, reduce weight, Spend your money or keeping it in good tune.

Did you end up getting your car on the dyno with that ECU James?

i think this is a point alot of people miss when modifying there own daily driver
