Publisher's Synopsis
There was a time in the sport-compact scene when Honda ruled the streets. Civics were easy to afford, easy to modify, and in plentiful supply. This was, to some extent, before the import manufacturers figured out that a large group of young automotive enthusiasts wanted more from their cars. - - Unfortunately for Honda, they were not the first to figure that out, and other manufacturers beat them to the punch; the most popular among them, from a performance standpoint, was Subaru. Popular for their rally influence, all-wheel-drive, and turbocharged engines (that made more horsepower stock than heavily modified Hondas) the Subaru WRX and STI models suddenly became king in the sport-compact culture. The most popular models were the turbocharged models, of course, and Subaru EJ20/25 Engines is all about wringing the most performance out of those engines. - - Detailed information includes coverage of simple bolt-on modifications, turbo systems, intercoolers, intake and exhaust systems, fuel injection modifications, cylinder heads, rotating assembly, critical ECM/ECM tuning, and more. - WRX and STI models are still at the forefront of sport-compact technology, and their following has never been stronger. This all-inclusive guide will help you get the most out of your turbocharged Subaru, and will be a valuable addition to your performance library. -
