Subaru Vortex XT: hotting up the little spaceship?

Apr 19, 2005 3 Replies

hey..new to this forum, just want to know if anyone knows much about the Subaru Vortex XT? it?s a stock 2door coupe, 1.8L, 5-speed manual, it?s the non turbo model and they?re only a very light car, 1781cc engine. I want to know what can i do if i want to add a turbo charger and upgrade to a performance exhaust system and possibly more, i don?t know what type of turbo is suitable for this model of car, infact i don?t know where to start! what kind of things should i be doing before anything...what test should i do before i start? i want to get as much performance out of this car but being as sensible as possible, i don?t want overkill, but then again i don?t want to do such minor things that gain some insignificant performance. are there some things i can do now at home to up the performance like any sort of tuning or whatever...



any sort of information that can lead me on the right direction will be awesome



thanks ppl


Noticed your posting on another board. The lifters are ticking because the oil pump needs new seals. www.xt6,net has several members from the Southern Hemisphere.
