We Built a $10,000 Subaru that BEAT A Lamborghini

We modified this old Subaru and made it THREE SECONDS faster than a Lamborghini for LESS than £15,000. We did everything from upgrading the brakes and tyres, to completely stripping the interior and turning up the boost.
Because we wanted to see if two normal guys, with no real mechanical experience and a small budget could really build a car that was capable of beating a supercar. We got some stuff right, we got some stuff VERY wrong - but here’s how it went.
We’ve been modifying this Subaru over the last 6 months to try and make it faster than a Lamborghini for £15,000. Now it’s finally time to see if it can be done.
Over the last 6 months, we’ve fitted an uprated clutch, a set of coilovers, some sticky semi slicks, stripped 136kg of weight, upgraded the brakes, fitted stiffer anti-roll bars and then finally we pushed the car from 196bhp to 304bhp. That means we’ve spent just £9065 of our budget INCLUDING the car.

@Nbomber Год назад

@@commandergeokam2868 i know first hand that subaru engines have their issues, but i got to thinking about donut media and the problems they had and i think it comes down to 3 things: 1. The desert heat 2. The long sweeping corners (boxer engines without a dry sump haaaaaate these, because it causes oil starvation at the sump and pooling at the heads and valve guides) 3. American cars are notoriously badly maintained in general, though i do think this is probably a non issue in their case.

Wasted your time. Only a non-thinking person would want a Lamborghini. They are hard to get into and out of for one thing. They con't have cargo space for a trip to Costco. They cost too much for insurance and.... in rush hour traffic they are plodding along just like any other car... very foolish. I'd much rather have any Suburu. They can manage in bad weather, through mud and snow when the most expensive Italian speedster is stuck in a snowbank waiting for the tow truck. Sporty little 2 inch off the ground cars are a total waste of money. All they are good for is showing off. They are driveway candy and nothing else.

@4BillC Год назад

New it made 221 horsepower AT THE CRANK so 196 at the wheels isn't bad! All vehicles have a crank hp rating, but there is losses throughout the driveline. So all that power does not actually make it to the wheels. The 300ish you made at the wheels would put the engine's actual output closer to 330. Unfortunately there no set "this is what you lose" number and all cars are different. Some may lose 20hp some may lose 120hp.

@ian7617 Год назад

196bhp at the wheels would make more sense as a before figure but there is no way it made over 300bhp at the wheels on the standard TD04. Conversely if 196bhp was the crank figure to begin with (which would suggest the car was somewhat unhealthy!) I don't understand how it then made such incredible power with the mods/mapping. The TD04 is usually only good for 280bhp with all supporting mods. My JDM WRX of same era made 273bhp at the crank with the standard downpipe still in place.

@ToroBravo-f1r 4 месяца назад

@TheLongboarder77 Год назад

Doing that on the standard TD04 turbo is great work. Staying top mounted but enlarging the top mount intercooler and mating it to the TD05 16g turbo gets you to a mapping at 340 / 350hp - for me that was the sweet spot in my Subaru journey. The 2L engine in the blob eye that you have has not really for the head gasket issues of the later 2.5. - Keep going and then take on something hotter still. Nice work. Keep going. I look forward to series 2.

@Pavl9k Год назад

@ZZPxFTW Год назад

Isn’t the stock 224 rating bhp?? So their 194 whp with AWD is actually quite impressive for an engine with 140k on the clock

@stigrabbid589 Год назад

Also, dynos can vary from stock ratings regardless of whether the cars are new or old due to temperature and air pressure. If you do a dyno test at a higher altitude than the manufacturer the air is thinner, and vice versa. The barometric pressure also varies day to day, so doing dyno runs on different days can give small variances in power.

@ZZPxFTW Год назад

@@stigrabbid589 Temperature and air pressure will make a much larger difference on a naturally aspirated motor than a forced induction fed motor, but you are definitely correct. The difference from the variables you mentioned would be, at most, still under 10% even on a n/a motor, and probably under 3-5% for a turbocharged motor. The point of my comment was acknowledging the parasitic losses in this car's drivetrain and how, once corrected for, their WRX was basically making factory stock BHP numbers with 140k miles. While obviously a lower temperature day when they tuned, I don't think it would be that much of a factor relative to the factory rating.
