Subaru 2.5RS-Impreza-And Impreza WRX Info?
I maybe want to get a 2.5 rs but people tell me if i chip it or turbo it, the engine will blow. is that true? what if my turbo is low psi? what if it is a factory turbo from a wrecking yard? or what if i get pp6?
are the 2002 impreza and the 2002 impreza wrx the same engine? i know the wrx has a turbo, but other than that what is the difference?
It's not like will blow the second you add the turbo! BUT high boost will blow it soon enough, and low boost it's only a matter of time. So yeah, low boost and driving it carefully will certainly help.
No, the 2002 WRX and RS motors are not the same at all. The block and heads are completely different. The RS engine has an open block design, and the WRX is semi-closed. Basically that mean the WRX block is much stronger (more small holes in the water jacket, instead of a few HUGE holes). Except for the boxer layout those two engines are almost completely different.
Getting a factory turbo engine is a great idea! That will work beautifully. Getting just the trubo? What's the point? You're still putting a turbo on an NA engine.
Now, as for chipping it... That traditionally hasn't been a problem with the NA engine. You won't make as much power either. The NA block is generally "pretty good" under the 180-200 HP mark as long as you do a nice clean job with your mods.
My suggestion is either do an engine swap (awsome option) or just buy a factory turbo. Hope that helps!
