Where to buy performance parts for N/A forester? and some info

ScoobyDoobie · 06-27-2008, 08:47 AM

Instead of me and Rob being broken records, and spitting the same info out on a weekly basis, I thought to put some links and info together regarding performance parts for the N/A foresters. If this could be made a sticky that would be great, it would keep some good info and links at the top of the page for people to read.

Headers/Cat-pipes and mid pipes are interchangeable between 93-01' Imprezas and 98-02' foresters. Pretty sure this is true all the way up to the 08' N/A forester. Exact same pipes, meaning any aftermarket header, high flow cat, or mid pipe for the impreza will bolt right up to your forester. Mufflers are a bit different, as the impreza is shorter, so you may have to get the tip extended to come flush with the bumper. Stromung makes a forester specific muffler, and some people are modding STI cat backs to fit.

Intakes from similar years N/A imprezas will fit. Direct bolt-on. Just be sure that if you have a 98-99' forester, you use an intake designed for a 98-99' impreza. This is due to the MAF (mass airflow) sensor found on the 98-99' models.

Lightweight crank pulleys are pretty much universal across the whole subaru line of cars (including turbo models).

Upgraded camshafts and other internals are just the same as parts for the N/A impreza (same EJ25 motor). Just be aware that 98' foresters and a small number of 99' Foresters had the DOHC motor. The rest have the SOHC. TWE makes cams/internals, and Delta Cams can regrind your stock cams to be more aggressive for a decent price. Untitled Document

Rallitek offers a PerfectPower6 (PP6) piggyback ECU for N/A subies, allowing adjustments to be made with timing and air/fuel mixture to get the most out of your mods. I-Speed also offers ECU reflashes for stock motors, or with different stages of mods. I know there is at least one member on here with his SF ECU reflashed. I - S p e e d U S A

If I forgot something, or you know of something that should be added, please reply and I will add it.

umm no its not. Performance Parts for Impreza RS, Legacy and Forester "Performance for Impreza RS/TS/2.5i, Legacy, Forester and Baja"

They are the only vendor I know of that carry Stromung forester parts for the N/A.

I was wondering if anyone has ever added a turbo and inter cooler on to the naturally aspirated forester sport. I got an 08 sport and wasn't really into performance modding but now I love it. Any ideas where i can buy one that would fit and what other parts I would need thanks

Cool. Will it work on auto transmissions or is that irrelevant?

I already know that fuel economy would be worse but how much worse?
