Hi everybody
I have Forester 2.0XT AT 2003 SG5 Black. I'm from Almaty city, Kazakhstan.
I've been reading a lot of performance advices from different forums. I used to own Outback and then Toyota Camry Gen2 and finally got XT.
It's really difficult to find info about 2.0XT's. So if you somebody could help me out it will be much appreciated. I know that my engine is similar to one used in Impreza 01-02 (bug eye) EJ205. I've already bought but not yet installed:
Samco turbo hose and radiator hoses
lightweight cdfracing crank pulley
front strut brace (Kakumei)
double din pod housing
K&N air filter (installed)
radiator shroud (DIY)
STI hood scoop
HID kit (headlights and fog lights)
Gauges
Exhaust heat wrap
Full lip kit
Deizin Voltage Stabiliser (installed)
Magnetic draing plug (engine oil)
STI oil cap
Uprated radiator cap 1.3bar
I'm also planning to port and polish intake manifold. Won't make it too long, here are some of my questions:
1. How do I find out whether my XT is EDM, JDM or other type? Is possible to find out via vin code because I'm not sure which type are sold here but they are LHD. I've been racing with RHD 2.0XT JDM AT and won the race easily....might seem strange
2. What Impreza year parts are interchangeable? Most people refer to GD models, especially, bug eye 01-02.But they talked about 2.5XTs USDM. Anything about 2.0XTs
3. I want to purchase Goodbridge SS brake lines, but they don't have for XT, but have in stock GD impreza ones. Will they be direct fit(Impreza GD)?
4. What bhp gains can i make on stock turbo? I believe most people say it is TF035 Mitsubishi turbo that is set to 0.55bars on stock(If my XT is EDM). Fuel cut out is set at 0.8bar. If I set at 0.7-0.75bar using MBS or EBC how many hp I will gain?
Some Qs might have been covered, but as I see they were covered regarding the 2.5XT models. Any help will be much appreciated.
Here are fotos of the engine bay, which is really dirty.I will clean the engine as soon as whether gets better. Exterior photos will be soon.
