Been thinking the Subaru WRX engines would be a perfect conversion powerplant. I did some research (mostly after the Nissan 6 conversion) and can put together a complete package for just under $4,000.
Cost includes a JDM 230hp engine, pre-programed ECU and harness, Kennedy adaptor, radiator w/ fans & shrouding, K&N, and engine mount. Muffler, cat and water guage not included. The ECU can be tuned upto 300hp safely for non-smog cars. Weight would be about 50 lbs more than stock. You can keep some trunk space. Uses stock drivetrain. Should require no sheet metal cutting but I haven't built one yet. I can say 220hp makes for a FUN 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif) Interested??

QUOTE(Mueller @ Mar 27 2003, 05:29 PM) No sheet metal cutting? Location of radiator? Oops, I had my mind in the engine bay, both my -6 and Chevys require cutting/clearancing. Radiator would be the stealth setup I'm currently using, so ya, a few holes there. I ran a stock 2.0FI for years with 205s, BMW front calipers and a T, the weight should only be 50lbs more so I don't see a major issue there, just use good pads. Jon- even the 225s on the -6 don't get good traction with 220tq in second... which is first lol Please keep us up to date on the install and you're welcome to pick my brain. I was thinking of putting the motor in the San Jose chassis (Hi Jeff) and hitting NASA track events, but that is a ways off... unless it decides to pay for itself. Chris |
