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??

914 subaru conversion
this guy did a conversion. Is there a better way of putting the raiator without cutting or minimal cutting of sheetmetal? and how does it effect the aerodynamics of the car with the radiator on the nose, where does the air go? It seems like it would make the front of the car ligter since the air gets stuck in the trunk may be have a slope on the hood like the ford gt40? so the air enters the the front and escapes from the top of the front hood, that might give some downforce too, what do you guys think? kinda like this: (IMG:http://www.elpasotimes.com/03CarPreview/images/GT40.jpg) |
