Well, the car is finally on the road. The motor mount that we fabricated is a nice unit. I looked at all of the others, and I did not find anything that made me feel comfortable to use. Our is a full cradle, we relocated the turbo and intercooler. Fabricated our own exhaust (ceramic coated), re-engineered the factory wiring harness and it truely kicks some major bootie. We ran a 2005 997 carrera and shamed him...bad. He could not believe it. We are finishing up the details on this kit and they will be offering it soon. Be sure to look for us at the German Auto fest. We will be there with bells on! Look for the two 914s that have "Porsche Turbo" above the rockers. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)

If you really want an STi engine, then you have to pay for it. 300hp isn't going to be cheap no matter how you do it. However, non-turbo EJ25 engines are under $1K, and that's 165hp, or more than a Jake Raby 2270 Type IV will get you ($5-7K). You can get a pretty hot (250hp) Soob engine for much less than $4500 if you look around. Check some of the Subaru websites. |
