LOL
Usagi_Yojimbo: Bunta is NOT an american u dipshit nor does he drive the latest model STi. man... you yanks arent very intelligent.
Big claim there. 190whp from a standard B18C5?
pretty complete whack setup with a non-vtec gearbox and standard sussy setup from a heavier car.
If you did really own the car you describe, you would have did the swap yourself?
Which engine harness, ecu, injector wires, o2, knock, IAB sensors, dizzy, injectors, alternator did u use?
And engine mounts, need to change any? or did u use all the standard civic ones?
also, let me be the second to tell you to STFU.. for being a blowass kunt.

FFS - this is meant to be a forum for discussion about the anime Initial D, based on the Manga Initial D, based on the arcade game Initial D.
Also there's a huge amount of cr*p here. - I'm not a scooby fan, they are tractors, but at least I know what they are. With the exception of the latest US model, ALL (note the capitals) the high performance turbo engined Subaru Imprezzas (be it turbo, WRX, sti, 22B,) have a 2.0 litre boxer engine. ALL of them.
In the US, due to the yanks not liking 'small engines', the latest version got the 2.5 litre turbo engine from the Subaru Forrester instead.
Now can we please get down to discussing the anime and stop insulting each other or talking utter rubbish.

The irony here, oh man.
The USDM STi was ALWAYS 2.5L. Lucky us, we're the only country to get that engine. (Well, it's offered in other cars in other countries, and there is a company that will cram it into over seas Imprezas, but we're the only country where Subaru offers it off the lot in the Impreza.)

No they don't, and please, you don't know wtf you're saying. The Impreza SUCKS for Drag Racing and track days, because it's great for autocross and rally. It's gearing is SHORT, my RS runs at about 4K at 70MPH. Fuel cut in top gear is about 135mph. Not to mention it takes 2 shifts to hit 60 (2nd gear barely get's into the 50s), and 3 for most drag strip runs (I think 3rd runs out in the high 70s). It has awesome short distance times, because that's how it's designed. Get back up to speed in a hurry, even if that speed is low.
Let's not forget the driveline drag from the AWD. Not to mention the horrid aerodynamics. Neither help at high speeds.
Of course, if you weren't talking out of your ass, you'd know this. ;)

Jesus, why do these import fanboys have to Bash drag racing like it's simple.
My best when my Impreza (one Z people!) was turbo'd was 13.81, and I averaged low-mid 14s. It's HARD to properly launch an Impreza, STi or not. Too high and you get wheelspin, too low, and you BOG. Not to mention nailing the shifts while keeping the revs in the proper range, without grenading your tranny (or even launching without lunching first). Don't get me started on trying to drag a FWD car (suck for drag racing) or RWD (good drivers on drag radials can hit 1.6s 60' times, which is nuts, most just spin till they're sideways) I have a vid of me racing a Lightning, I win, but what you don't see is him going damn near sideways on the launch. His truck is 12 second capable, easy.
Drag racing is one of the BEST ways to master your launch technique, and master your shift timing. You don't have to worry about skidding off the track, plus since the surface is so abrasive, it's not as forgiving (read, less wheel slip) than the street.
Let's not forget the skill it takes to properly launch a high power RWD car, not to mention keeping it straight. Did you know that most rail cars, and funny cars usually spin their wheels the whole way down the track? Yea, one little screw up, and they're going home in an Medivac.
If you took the time to actually Drag race on a track, instead of street racing, or rice talking, you might know what you're talking about.
Anyway, back to your regulary scheduled flaming. :)

#1) The 22b has a 2.2L engine. Look it up.
#2) 1 Z, 1 R ;)
#3) The 2.5L Turbo motor was in the STi first, not the Forester. It's not the "Small engine", it's the "Subaru wanted a way to get loads of power and torque out of the engine without compromising reliability, and pleasing the American taste for low end power". ;) Oh, and it's completley new.

also as being americans we aren't as lucky as some other countries.
take australia for example. if my memory serves me correct most of the cars that they can import from japan tend to be smaller cars and have smaller engines than the ones in the US yet they are tuned to produce around the same power giving it a better power to weight ratio then ours. also it is actually legal to drive a street illegal car in the US only as long as you are driving it to the track or strip and back.
just my two cents.
p.s. if you want a fast drag car how is a 1969 firebird with a 540ci big block engine that runs 1/4 miles in 7.0s
^^^^
had to say something about your post about americans wanting a lot of low end power.....A turbo doesnt give you the low end power of a na engine so what im really saying is that the sti wouldnt have a shit load of low end power.
