This weekend I welded the 1 1/4" tube that locates the rear tranny mount. After that I was able to cut out the left side sheet metal. I have a BIG pile of metal left over. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

QUOTE(airsix @ Dec 7 2004, 10:12 AM) Subaru turbo 4cyl is 40lb lighter than a 2.0 TypeIV and 225hp stock. Easily 300hp with just boost and cutting out the cats. 400+hp if you go nuts. $650 + $150 shipping for a 30k mile import motor complete from throttlebody to turbo. Flat-four maintains your low CG too. -Ben M. ps - iron-block pushrod motors are for antiques. Sounds like a winner. What about torque numbers? Problem with the B13's, they have no torque to pull you out of the turns in an autox. |
