I've got a Subaru WRX as a daily driver, so I've thought about subaru engine swaps a few times. Small turbo engines, and you can get em in 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 liters. The 3.0 liter is in the tribeca, it might be cool the get a used 3.0 liter soup it up and drop it in. I have no idea how hard it would be to mate it up the transmission though, or even about fitment. By just looking at em though, I'd say the engines are pretty close to the same size.

N-Dub

Still thinking about fitment...

well while we're just dreaming and throwing ideas around I'm a bit keen on the late merc V6's of around 150kg

How about the Mazda rotary engine? Oh, wait... they already did that - it was called the RX-7.

did that car ever get finished?

IDK, their webpage still hasn't been updated.

That car is from a long time back, no?

I'd like to see one of these in a 944, especially with a turbo or 2...

And I've heard that an Audi 5cyl turbo can be shoehorned into a 924 turbo tub without too much pain

I have an article from turbo magazine of a 944 with a TTv8 MID engine

haha that hartly V8 "400hp" but the funning thing is thats with the "10 000 rpm street cams "

aussiebj

bet its lighter that my 944 turbo 4 cylinder what a great track engine that would be...10000 rpm...nice

I definitely believe that the hartley V8 can put down 400 hp and do 10k rpm...don't forget, hp = rpm*tq/5252, so you can increase hp by increasing tq or rpm

Also, they designed it as basically 2 Hayabusa engines (stock redline is >13k i believe) mated together with a dry sump. A stock hayabusa is ~200hp I believe, those things are obscenely powerful and light

blown 944

the torque is pretty "honda" though
