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(jkeyzer @ Dec 7 2004, 03:51 PM) The 2.5 based turbo from the Sti, Legacy GT, etc has a ton of power from significantly lower rpms. That engine in stock form might be a lot better. I think the extra 0.5L of displacement helps a lot. The STI engine is entirely different then the EJ20T. The internals are beefed up significantly and they run different compression, heads, etc. Ive been in a stock WRX, a modified (with no cats) and an STI and personally they dont hold a candle to a 2.7 914-6, but possibly if one of those engines were in a 914 it could work. Just make sure to either keep the stock turbo (small) or get a smaller one for the Auto x course. I think they make too much boost too late, but then again I hate turbos (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif). |
