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

And now it is mine. So i am no longer a candidate for the "That Guy" award at events for not having a running 914.

Needs some finishing touches like bumbersand rockers installed, a few lighting issues, triangle window installed, wheel alignment and some missing seals. With luck it will be road worthy by the end of June for the WCR event.
