Okay.......

so i guess a car isnt fast unless it runs 10's....which goes for just about every production car ever made. "fast" is just someones opinion but i think most people will agree that a 500hp viper is "fast" as well as many other cars that arent 10 second cars. IMO the 13.2 second svx is fast, as it is on par with c5 corvettes and ls1 f-bodys and many other cars.

And your comment wasnt stating that there arent any fast svx (which in your opinion there might not be) it was stating that there will NEVER be a fast svx.

If you got your intake for the neato sound thats fine and i have nothing against that. I have done plenty of things for the "coolness" factor alone but i dont claim gains that have been shown to not be there. ;)

Figured I put my 2 cents in and say 10+hp. This is only based on previous dyno's with other subarus of mine with aftermarket vs stock intake. Yes, they are different models but still.

I am looking for a stock resonater to install with the stock intake and will be purchasing a new stock air filter for testing (Currently an STI air filter is installed).

Not to double post but wanted to draw this thread to a conclusion. Posted more info in another thread. Thanks for responding. ;)

wow.................

double wow

HA, i love it. I've been saying this for years, an intake is NOT a wasted mod. There is a reason 98% of race teams in the world do NOT use stock intakes

......wow
Now, I know that your engine isnt quite stock (I WATCHED the cams go in) but dare I say it:


You'd actually have hp gaines on a stock engine too:eek:

I'd LOVE to see what kind of gaines are seen by the boosted guys.

Kevin, thats an impressive gain! I'll be watching for more development.

Hmmm...

When do you start producing?! I'll take one...:p

+1 agreed

/me eats hat.

I hope you don't mind me pointing out that I believe the SVX holds great potential to be some kind of top speed demon. It's 3.3 litre engine yearns to be tapped to it's full potential.

I know it'd probably be a waste of money, but I could easily see someone tossing together a 200 mph SVX.

As for a + for the modified intake, I can personally say that when I placed my generic cone filter on my car (with the still stock piping) I noticed a definite increase in overall throttle sharpness. Really it's as sharp as I could expect an automatic car to be.

The EG33 is a very attractive engine outside of our community. It has a long history as the powerplant for experimental aircraft, often in a turbo-charged application. We've seen posted some images of twin turbo drag race machines.

Jack Laverty at XX Tuning ins Ct. has been driving an NA EG33 Subaru RS coupe at NASA racing events for a couple of years. Check threads at Nasioc for pic's. I spoke with him at Watkins Glen last weekend, and he will be installing a full top end re-do over the winter. Ported and polished heads with a valve regrind and some pretty wild camshafts. Good-bye non-interference. He has ditched the entire ECU and is running a stand-alone system (non-smog legal). He also has a ram air intake system using a hood scoop. I've ridden in the car and it's pretty strong.

The EG33 is one of the best things about our car. For those of us with manual trans, the direct responsiveness and willingness to rev is very sweet. Through the efforts of old and young Tom, Lan, Bill, Kevin, Benebob, Hocrest, Huck,Todd and others, I think we're really beginning to see just how good this engine can be. Their efforts have added immeasurably to my pleasure at the track. :D:D

I need more $! :o
