Porsche 914 Subaru Turbo Conversion--small clip vs Lamborghini at the end... 

I have a converted 6 too. This car eats it for lunch and is more fun to drive. The 6 is just nostalgic Porsche. Thank you for the compliment.

Cept the 901 really isnt built for that power.

I wonder how reliable this would be. No air coming in and out and the gearbox is not meant to cope with so much torque

3 advantages... Boxer motor sound; 30 mpg when cruising; Subaru costs when things go bad mechanically. Thanks for the comment, it is a fun car!

Subaru full 6 cylinder motors fit just like a 911 porsche did.. most any 4 cyl EJ or later motor will fit too. Build away!

A six cylinder Subaru is fun- but none of them have the aftermarket support that the EJ series does. An EJ205( 2.0wrx) stroked with a 2.5(STI)crank makes a really lovely, torquey bottom end for the street. An EJ257(2.5 STI) destroked with the 2.0 crank is the move for high HP, high RPM applications.

Yup..

Renegade in Las Vegas sells the kits. Radiator, clutch, adapter plate etc..

Hi Joe. Absolutely. My tuner is "Yimisport" in Santa Clarita, CA. When we discussed numbers, he could have bumped this to in the 350 HP range, but we felt that would be alot, and we would have trouble with the torque number. Torque is what will kill it. So we tuned it at 300 HP on the nose, and 250 Torque. IT is also set up so that the power doesn't hit like a 2 stroke, but increases as the car is already rolling so it transfers power smoothly but very raw. In this video, it was still only at 225 hp using a stock air to air subaru intercooler. I upgraded it to air to water and thats how we made power. STI turbo and STI injectors with Cobb software. It runs REAL fast now....

You don't want to know.... but in 2006 dollars when pro shops (renegade and others) did it, I have a book with 60K in receipts, not including the car. There is alot to the car not shown in the video.... it is pretty custom.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner Dave! Yes. When I got it from him it was at about 225 HP. I have now bumped it up substantially to 300 HP with an water to air intercooler. I think Tom would be proud. He is a nice guy. Torque is about the same to save the 901. At WOT it pumps 22 lbs of boost now.

300 isnt enough for you? car only weighs 2100 pounds.

@@r.arabian3056 oh of course, I wish I had 100hp 😂😂. It's just that people that own subarus brag about their cars having 500 hp, so I had the wrong idea

@@ozkrpalminteri9431 So yes they CAN. My tuner said stock, he can push it above 350 HP. But on this car, the 901 transmission will blow up real quick with that HP number and the associated torque. This car is 300 hp with 249 torque, which wont kill it. I would have to upgrade to a subaru trans to go above what it has. A 500 HP car would need all forged internals for sure. That being said, power to weight on this car, it keeps up with modern 911's easily. It is only money....

@@r.arabian3056 cool, I need to track one down in nor cal for my ‘71.

901 with upgraded cv and axles. Have a 5 speed Suby for “one day”…

Haha yeah! ... they were so damn cheap in the early 90s. People thought since they had slow 4 cylinder VW engines, they would never be collectors! ...
