These motors are probably 15-20k once they reach the track. Just a offhand guess. As my son has spent 13k on a street motor with no tranny mods. Just motor, ported heads, bigger cams, 100mm bore, open source tuning with datalogging and utec piggyback, bigger injectors, bigger fuel pump, bigger oil pump, front mount ic, 8qt oil pan, true cold air intake and a 30r rotated turbo at 26 psi. Conservative tune about 425awhp. Also no water or alcohol injection yet. |

Well this is a loaded question...
A hot rod suby could be as simple as mine... A brand new shortblock from Subaru of America - $1850 delivered to your door in a box that is approximately the same size as your CPU. You by yourself can easily lift the box and its crate and load it into your trucks bed. My original engine was $2K, I would figure you could buy a blown 2.0 litre for pennies on the dollar and dress the new 2.5 with the 2.0 items. I have a stock EJ20 turbo a stock ECU and when we get 100% throttle opening, I can't image what the car will do. The guys who helped me with my car (Snail Performance) can make incredible power from a Suby. Here is their direct quote off of a differnt forum... "This car is crazy fast if we fixed it were the throttle would be 100% open the car would most likely just burn up the tires in all gears. Thanks for the rides Keith give me a call if you need anything. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- www.snailperformance.com" I guess that says it all. I have driven some extremely fast things in my life of 40 years. Raced shifter carts blah blah blah.... This set up is extremely potent without really doing anyting to it. Not enough? No problem, slap a STOCK STI turbo (used off of NASIOC ~$250) IF that is not enough, and I seriously doubt 99% of the driving population would say that is not enough... $1400 for a fully tunable ECU and you have a completely sick ride on your hands that there is a slim chance in hell anyone could controll this power in a 914. HERE IS THE KICKER... If you blow it up... $1850 later a package from Subaru shows up at your door. |

Although - you can have a JDM longblock for sub $1000, which means I can have 2 for the price of a new one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) And the fun is just silly... tee hee (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
