TORRANCE, Calif. (Aug. 11, 2004) - The Subaru WRX is one of the hottest sport compacts on the market, and Edelbrock now offers something to make it even hotter: the new Edelbrock Performer wet nitrous system (#71003).

Designed specifically for 2002-04 WRXs, the Performer wet nitrous system is the best way to get a major boost. #71003 is a real blast, good for 60 extra horsepower at the wheels with the flick of a switch.

#71003, like all Edelbrock Performer EFI wet systems, uses a direct-port-style nozzle to spray nitrous and fuel into the intake runner. Performer EFI nitrous systems include a 10-lb. nitrous bottle (shipped empty), nitrous and fuel solenoid, aircraft-quality steel braided hose, nitrous filter, stainless steel jet selection, aircraft-quality fittings, switches, brackets and hardware for a complete, simple installation.

Other Edelbrock Performer wet system applications include:

#71001: 2002-04 Acura RSX, including Type S and 2003-04 Honda Civic Si (40-70 hp)
#71002: 2001-04 Honda Civic EX (40-60 hp)
#71007: 2003-04 Nissan 350 Z (50-80 hp)
#71820/71008: Universal Performer wet systems, fits any 4- or 6-cylinder engine (50-70 hp)
