I'd have one...

I reckon there'll be a few more exploding gearboxes because

1. already increased torque loading (though they've strengthened the box)

2. an extra .5L swept capacity will help a bigger turbo spool faster (similar to the RB20 and RB25) that will allow greater HP potential easier

They're going to keep the Skyline boys honest, that's for sure

The 6 speed gearboxes aren't having problems with highly modified STi's that have been getting around the performance scene for over two years.

I'm 100% confident they won't have gearbox issues.

Should be interesting to see the new Evo vs STi comparisons.

This is good news for RB25DET owners. the US spec 2.5L STi uses high impedance side feed 440cc injectors, that fit straight in our fuel rails. I'd expect we'll get the same.Ripper B) The chief reason for going 2.5L in the States was to meet CARB (California) emissions standards - the toughest in the world. They must be selling very well over there.

When I was in the states the petrol is at best 91 octane is this the same octane measurement as ours.  Their lowest grade was 87!

We use the RON (Research octane number) measurement, americans use RON+ MON / 2. Where MON is the Motor octane number.

I believe their 91 is around our 98.

I reckon the rear lights look cheap.

I'm sure the 2003 to current model WRX rear lights should drop in (and you'd find some ricer 2003 - 2005 model peson who'd want to swap) - the sheet metal at the rear hasn't changed AFAIK

    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
