RX Perormance Mods?

Post by hunter1307 » Fri May 25, 2012 4:59 pm

Hey guys, this is my first post, but recently bought at 2002 liberty RX. Love the car and the way it drives but was interested to know what sort of modifications i could do to increase performance.

I dont think it will be worth the time and effort (And Money) to put a turbo on it, but anything else im willing to try

hi exhaust system from headers back, probanly 2.25inch would do it. other wise there isnt much more without spending bug bucks.
remember a NA subaru motor was never meant to be fast and powerfull
2004 subaru forester -gone
1999 subaru forester- no more :(
1989 subaru brumby- sold!
2008 zook jimny -sold!
2003 mitsubishi pajero - missus car
2013 nissan d22- set up for long distant touring

Google Raptor supercharger kits.

A little on the exy side of things, but well worth the coin for a simple bolt on modification.

Or if you're a little mechnically minded and a good learner you could add one yourself, usually a SC14 is the unit of choice ;)

Thanks mate, an interesting vid, definately enough to put me off cold air intake and now more interested in a sc14 or sc12, i imagine there would be reasonable increase in performance but am unsure about putting it in haha, and if there is any other engine modifications that need to be done to ensure no problems. Will have to look into it
