I have questions for our 914world Subaru Gurus.
I acquired this EZ30R conversion last year. Kent’s (76-914) @76-914 subaru conversion has always impressed me, so it’s his fault. Anyhow, 914 ran well but had an intermittent short that ate up batteries. I decided to paint the exterior of the car before tackling short. Once, painted, Noel and Bruce helped me one Sat with 5 lug conversion. My goal was to get the short figured out and move the harness and battery bank to the engine bay. Short of time, and my lack of Subaru knowledge I spoke with Outfront motorsports https://www.outfrontmotorsports.com/ into helping me get things right. ( And only 5 min from home) One week later I’m absolutely stunned on what they accomplished. Lots of upgrades to fuel and cooling systems, a new ECU wire harness relocated to engine bay. There is a detailed list of things I’m forgetting that I will post later. In a nut shell, Dyno shows 272 HP with 223HP to wheels. I got a test drive last night and I was totally floored. Super smooth and responsive. I can’t wait to pick it up this afternoon. Is this a typical HP range for this engine? Rev limited to 7500 rpm? Is this ok? Can’t wait to address trunk paint next. Your thoughts..photos coming. BTW…The new wire harness is now 75% smaller and tight…super professional Bonus, my rear trunk is free on any modifications or loose wiring. Your thoughts please Oscar [attachmentid=853 967] |

Looks like an awesome car! Would love to see the detailed list of what’s been done. I’m in the middle on an EZ30R conversion on my car and did talk to Outfront about ECU options, so I would love to know what’s in your car. I think these late-gen motors are rated at 240hp, so your 272 sounds great. The redline is higher than the stock motor I think (maybe 6800 stock), so again 7500 seems really good. It was one thing that I wished was higher when I was making my decision, so I’m glad to hear Outfront seems comfortable with that redline increase.
I would also be interested in knowing whether your car has drive-by-wire throttle and whether the variable cam timing is still in place (the feature is run through solenoids on each bank). Must be a fun car! |
