having an agruement with a guy from work atm as he thinks there is a wrx non turbo?

i have never heard of such a car exist it is either a non turbo rx or the turboed wrx and sti.

i have searched the net only to find another forum with one guy saying there is no such thing either i need a clear answer to tell this guy that he is blowing smoke out of his ass hole.

essentially i thought that engine were similar with some different internal components, bonnet scoop, different front bar different interior etc but as far as a non turbo WRX which he claims his mate has one i dont believe it.

WOW i said someone was sad enough to buy wrx badges and fit them.

unless someone went to the trouble of buying a wrx with turbo and then taking it off and pluming up all the lines back to the block and coolant. he still says no its definetely a factory badged non turbo wrx.

could i get a list of peoples answers so i can print it out and take it to work cos i work with a bunch of commo drivers at work who think jap cars are like rabbits and shouldnt be in the country cos they won bathurst in the early 90's, who no nothing about jap cars but just tell me to leave him alone and that he must no wat he is talking about.

In the USA they originally bought out a WRX which had a 2.5litre engine but no turbo.

They have only just bought out the turbo WRX with the 2 litre engine

google it, its on the net somewhere

mate i work for subaru and i can tell you there is no such thing as a non turbo wrx from factory.

his mate has prolli got an RS-X. which is just an RS impreza. these had a 2.5 litre N/A engine, with interior the same as the wrx. subaru australia took 400 of these and made the limited edition RS-X, which got wrx wheels, rear muffler (twin pipe) and stickers. so basicly at a glance it looks just like a rexy without the bonnet scoop.

does this help?

hahahah lol his mum is the secretary at our work so i guess the opportunity is there bud lol.

best answer so far.

Do your mates mum and then tell him you did his mum. Will completely make him forget about the wrx topic....

As said above, non turbo's are Impreza's.

I think there is a non turbo version just , the subaru impreza 2.0L. Personally if you needed a non turbo just head for a Skyline GTS RB25DE because standard WRX turbo models put out roughly 230Hp , and im not saying they dont go hard but a non turbo impreza would probably give out about 160hp topps. hence Skyline GTS 190hp but its up to you. Good luck in finding one =]

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
