250whp N/A?

What kind of power are the N/A SVX guys making?

I've been thinking of starting a new project, and I'd love to make good power without going turbo. Thinking around 250whp would be nice for now. I figure that would require some intake mods, exhaust mods, and tuning. But is 250 possible without heavy mods?

I'm not afraid of going turbo, I just would rather stay N/A, at least for the time being.

For those who DID go turbo, did you change your compression ratio? If I went this route, I'd think 8.5:1 or 9.0:1 would be pretty nice. It'd still spool really quickly based on displacement alone. I'd think a GT30-76 would be a pretty nice match for quick spool and the ability to make 300whp, but I've got MUCH more experience dealing with turbos on EJ20's and EJ25's.

I want to steer clear of turbo/supercharged setups simply because of the lack of air-flow for proper intercooling. I can work around that if I have to, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

stay tuned....updated NA numbers should be available in a couple of months. Right now, we're starting to bump up against 200 Hp at the wheels.

Andrew (?),
I'll definitely do that! I grew up in Wheaton, so G'burg was in my larger "stomping grounds" while growing up. How far away from Altered Atmosphere's shop (8011 Cessna Ave) are you? That's where I've been doing all my dyno runs.

Phil actually. Andrew owns the shop.

Altered is right down the street. If you are going straight onto airpark road, just make a right at Chenault and a left onto Rickenbacker. The unit is 7615, we are unit E. You make a right directly before the traffic circle, and we are on the back of the building on the right.

We do all kinds of ridiculous Subaru work, but the SVX is a car we haven't gotten into really.

Phil (sorry, had to guess the first time

),
Your shop is now on my list! I'll make sure to give you a call next time I schedule some dyno time at Altered so I can drop by. You have anyone in your shop that's good at tuning? I'm still suffering from sticker shock from the $$ the Altered guys quoted me...
