Agreed! I actaully based my estimate from the cost Car & Driver reported tuners put into their cars in last year's 4 banger Super Flea Challenge - I may be wrong, but I think Cobb racing's WRX had a final sticker in the 70-80K range!
Yeah, for that kinda loot, I would fill my garage with three cars instead of one: SVX, Lexus RX330 and Evo/STI... -Chike Quote:

That is sweet!
I just noticed it's a 94, and it's got the gray dash. That would make it a FWD right? Interesting...

Good eyes! It very well could be a FWD SVX, however, there are a lot of aftermarket dash kits available for the SVX, so he may still have a '94 AWD LSi model.
Good observation though...

Sorry man, you're way out of the ballpark. Even the highest end, highest flow, lowest pressure drop intercooler currently on the market for Subaru applications is less than $1500. Here's a link: http://www.airpowersystems.com.au/wr...dr650_fmic.htm http://www.airpowersystems.com.au/wr...-05/fmi_05.htm You can pick up very effective, well made intercoolers for these type of applications for under $700. Hell, a lot of turbodiesel trucks come with similar intercoolers as stock equipment and can be salvaged from junkyards. |

Interesting find Porter. You know what, I was looking at intercoolers offered for totally different cars - Supras, 3000GT's, 300ZX's, RX-7's, Skyline GT-R's, etc.
I know intercoolers can be inter-changeable between different cars and set-ups (with some custom fitting), but the top products offered by Japanese tuners can run well over $5,000. This guy seemed to spare no expense when building this one-off turbo SVX - maybe he slapped an intercooler on from a wrecked turbo diesel truck - but it seems more likely to me that he would have put on a top-of-the-line product from HKS, Greddy, Top Secret, etc. Just my 0.02 -Chike Quote:

Of you ask me it looks most like a second gen frontmount for a DSM. Long and skinny. But could be anything

I know a person who runs one of these, heres his dyno http://www.7mpower.com/trey_parsons.shtml If you look on that web site you will see that almost all the supra people use a maxx intercoller that cost under 800 bucks, and all of them there are over 400 WHP.
