Hey, what's the difference in specs? Curious, because I really like these cars, and I'm looking into buying one.

JDM not US Spec.

I know there are three variants; RSK B4 (pre face lift), GT Turbo and Spec B.

One site displayed HP ratings out the factory with the Spec B producing 280HP and the GT Turbo 260HP.

Crism has a few on their website...have a look.

Well.......let me answer your question wrt our local market.

There is the Legacy 2.0R; GT and Spec. B

The 2.0R is a normal DOHC 16V 4cylinder producing around 164HP and the GT is the same engine with a turbo producing 245HP. The Spec. B I saw was a 3.0L DOHC 24V 6-cylinder producing the same HP has the turbo. There is also a 4-cylinder spec. B with a 2.5 Turbo with upwards of 260HP. N/A versions have 16" rims with GT's riding on 17's and spec.B's on 18's.

The spec b comes with 18inch wheels, stiffer suspension and shorter gerar ratios for quicker acceleration

x2floor gave USDM specs

difference is just that the Spec-B comes with a bilstein shocks

as for engine, they both come with EJ20 Twin Scroll Turbo

Thats a WRX STI engine with different turbo. (280 M/T, 260 A/T)

Dont let anybody fool you about brembos and drilled rotors, 320 hp, most came with the 18 inch wheels, but not all. Mines came with a door panel saying "B4" i dont know if the GT comes with that....

bilstein is the bomb

They say the B is for Bilstein,put the aero front bumper with built in fogs is the surest way to recognize one. They also come with 18 inch rims....

Hey guys...what about the engine oil...I would like to use Royal purple??? Hollar and let me know...what you all are using. Or what oil should I use?

x2floor · Posted: Thu Aug 21, 2008 3:13 pm Post subject:

^^^i staying far from royal purple........it damages engines in the long run and you can loose compression ratio as a result. not even RESTORE can solve this problem so I chose AMSOIL Mr. Green

^^^ Royal Purple is a well respected oil, have you had a bad experience with it ? I've been using it for about 3 years now & less oil disappearing than with Mobil 1...and the engine is older...above 160,000 kms.

The USDM Spec-B's do not come with an aero front bumper. Idea

Click for full-size.

Shouldn't there be some part of the chassis code that defines a GT from a Spec-B?
If not, they are the same car with different shocks! Don't you say?

You can take an EK4 SiR Hatch and give it all the EK9 trimmings, suspension, engine, headlamps and everything else but at the end of the say, its the chassis code that shows you what's what.
