Mick5994 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Guys, not being from a Subaru back ground but looing at picking one up I'm wondering what upgrades there are for the RB320, ideally I dont want to go with things that havent got a proven track record......happy to push the car up a few BHP as long as the pack is from a reliable seller.... Will happily look at any sites that you could recommend, going to have about £3.5k to spend on it initially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 its quite the unit already and Simon may be along to comment having recently owned / sold one. my 2p - new brake pads - EBC red or yellow these mods are all for the driver that is a little more spirited / track orientated research a remap to ensure fuelling etc all correct to avoid any high rev miss-haps, also I dont know if it is a drive by wire throttle but if it is you could be looking at flat foot shifting, launch control and down shift blips ;) uprated coolant pump uprated oil pump and sump baffle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay762 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 this one has had a lot done already - mileage would be a bit high for me but it is an older car http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-IMPREZA-WRX-STI-RB320-429BHP-SWAP-PX-RANGE-ROVER-SPORT-05-06-/151087890211?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item232d8a3f23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggs Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 if you have anti lag i would suggest putting it on a switch as sitting at 3k rpm at the lights attracts funny looks, especially from the plod lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanaldo1987 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 make sure you have a budget available for rebuilding the engine if the engine hasn't already been rebuilt. seems the 2.5s are renowned for piston ring failure..... you only have to do a google search to see that it doesn't even have to be an engine with high miles or be running silly horsepower for it do happen. head gaskets also seem to be a common issue too. just food for thought. its the one thing thats put me off the 2.5 for the time being Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
