Facelift vs Kiwi new

[dnalunchie]

Hey all

was just playing around on trademe looking at leggys and I came accross a strange thing. It appears that from these two listings the NZ new facelift legacy GT could come with either a 2l or 2.5l engine?>

Can anyone shed any light on this>

Also the lister suggests that the car only makes 184kw, is this just an auto thing or did the 6mt only make 184 also?>

Apparently the 2.5 Turbo motors are from sti.

The Legacy STI S402 is a limited edition (402 units) high performance series for the Japanese market. It includes a 2.5L twin scroll turbo engine rated 285 PS (210 kW; 281 hp) at 5600 rpm and 392 N·m (289 lb·ft) at 2000–4800 rpm, Bilstein shocks, 18x8-inch BBS forged wheels (from S203, S204) with Potenza RE050A 235/40R18 91W tires, Brembo 6-piston front and 2-piston rear brake calipers (from Subaru Impreza type RA-R), Vehicle Dynamic Control stability control. A special serial number plate is added to the center console and engine bay VIN plate.

Variable valve timing was added. ECU was updated to improve acceleration.

BTW: if I wrap the link with [url][/url] the entire post disapears?

The S402 is a different beast completely..... Thats a legacy pulled from the line and heavily molested by STI.

The 2.5 in the legacy is similar block, different internals and tune as the stis iirc.

Some of the older NZ new subarus were detuned, and generally regarded as very average/low spec. I would assume these are too.

You mean 191kw?

I'm pretty sure that's normal, I think it started late in the BD model when the GTBs etc appeared - 191kw for the autos and 206kw for manuals.
