Just posted this evening on NASIOC:

The tuner XX Tuning in East Hartford, CT put this super Impreza together, and the car made 210whp and 212 wtq on a dynapack. They plan on adding a blower in '06...

I like it too... Kinda Pontiac WS6 but cooler! My guess is they converted to a MAP system. I asked him that question in the NASIOC thread...

I also love the detail they put into this project. They obviously professionally cleaned that engine, removed the center plastic cover over the IRIS system, but then painted it black again to keep the OE look.

nice spray-painted alternator!

From the equal length header pic on their site, the car has a manual trans in it (not sure if it's a 5 or 6 speed though). Using the 25% drivetrain loss most MT subarus see on the dyno, gives ~280hp at the crank.

I wonder if they did any camshaft work on the car?

Why are you asking us instead of them? J/K! but seriously, anything you find out about that intake or that ignition(SWEET!) post it up here and let us know. Now excuse me while I go clean up the mess I just made when I saw the pics of the engine

COOOOOL, another impreza with an EG33 tuned engine. It seems that this engine is worth tuning after all

Follow the link I posted to the NASIOC thread and you'll see the barrage of questions I asked...

Haven't got any responses yet, but I'll definitely post back here.

I'm just lovin' that intake set-up!

That's a 5MT tranny. They have to be running a MAP sensor simply because there is no way to incorporate a MAF in that setup. Notice that the exhaust system is not a true dual. There is a y-pipe merging the two banks just behind the tranny. Also any notice the engine oil cooler on the passenger side of the engine bay where the factory air intake system would be located? It looks like they are using OEM SVX engine mounts. Kinda interesting. I'm also interested about whether they did cam work. Since the HP and TQ values are almost the same, I'm guessing that they didn't do cam work. When peak HP and TQ are the same, it usually means that the HP peak is around 5500 rpm.

Chike,
Thanks for posting this! I'll have to get over to the NAISOC site to see how they answer your questions. I'm particularly interested in what they've done with the ignition - they've obviously moved the coil packs out to the inner fenders.

Injectors don't look stock (yellow)

The extra weight from the motor actually helps keep the front wheels planted and provide more grip coming out of the turn in the twisties. We only went to road course track events with the RS so I don't have any 1/4 times to show.

We are using the stock EG33 cams, outside the motor the power mods we have is just the headers and ram air box.

The holy grail of intakes.

That is almost exactly what I want to do for my intake...if only I could make it happen =(.
