Hey everyone, this is my pride and joy. A 2002 Subaru Legacy B4 BE5 RevD manual in black pearl, body has done 180,000kms. I had owned two BE5's before i came across this great example that i have kept. I started with the usual wheels and lowering springs, a lip etc then got the itch for more power, while researching single turbo swaps i discovered my revd engine was more difficult to single turbo until i dug further and found you could swap in a v7 sti long block and ecu and change a few pins on the ecu to make it all work. Then came the quest for power!! I looked into what i thought was the best money / performance / priority modifications for the ej20 engine for more power but mainly response, basic bolt ons with some extras and now the car is currently at 397NM / 223KW ATW, reaching 24psi by 3750 revs. Feels very nice and responsive. I've also changed a bit with the suspension, front and rear sway bars, sti springs, upgraded endlinks, bushes. Feels really planted on the road. I put a 4.444 transmission and rear diff, along with a light weight flywheel on. This really livened up the car and made the power band much more usable and responsive. Car has 4 pot and 2 pot sti brake calipers with braided lines and new bendix pads. This works very well and is sufficient.
