.......and all I can say is......WOW! It pulls from 1500 rpm, when the turbo comes in the power is incredible, you can tootle about in 5th, then plant it and it just pulls and pulls and pulls.

Thanks Nathan.

 

2.5's certainly torque the torque

 

Good isn't it !

Subaru actually make a car that does exactly that, its called a JDM twin scroll STI

Alcazar is a classic man, New-Age cars don't do it for him....

Spec C twin scroll engine transplant project

Tony

 

And lose his superior low end torque

 

Or get the best of both worlds Mikee singh was running a classic RA with a spec-c twinscroll engine transplant in the final 2 rounds of scoobysprint and belive me it was a flier.

 

I THINK mine's going to become a 2.5 engined small-ish turbo 350/350 flyer.

But I've heard bad stuff about the clearances on 2.5 engines, picking up pistons etc, and that Subaru will no longer warranty a 2.5 short engine if it's fitted to a 2 litre car

 

They are good value staight out of the crate.

Still prefer 2ltr engines myself at that output.

 

Out of interest:

Has any one ever put a twin scroll on 2.5? Or is this not a done thing?

 

I believe RobinSherwood fitted one to his Spec D.
Just needs the turbo plus up and downpipes.

All type 25's have a twin scroll

 

Doh, guess i'm half asleep, 2.5 cdb

 

Alcazar its my pleasure, Im glad you liked it. I hope it helped you decide your build route.

(Its just a Type R though!! Not a bad thing I guess )

 

or best of both worlds a 2.35?

 

...and possibly the sump...

 

or buy a litchfield t25. like i nedd all the low down grunt and effortless driving from the 2.5 and with a bonus of the twinscroll when you plant your right foot, cracking setup

 

Not needed on the factory 2.5

 

Only one of the cleanest, tidiest I've ever seen.....

Oh stop you'll make me blush.

Theres one of those beasty lumps up at Scoobyclinic, strapped to an engine stand.

 

Me ! Me ! Me !

3.6 + ( 2 x TD04) =

 

Size isnt everything

You should be happy with your motor matey, its a flying machine...

 

2.5 in a classic running 400/400 is hard to beat on the road amazing drive

 

where do ya get the 2.35 engine from?

 

Ah, but there you have it: going over 300, and in a 2 litre car, is now a no-no as far as Subaru are concerned.

350...........maybe.
400?

 

300/360 is fine for a road car.... at a sensible price !

Mine lacks grunt, and a forged 2.5 makes it look like a 957 Fiesta



3.6 TT at 700 bhp sounds about right.....

dunx

 

what is the 2.35 engine from or is it the 2.0 bored out?

 

or a 2.4

 

The capacity comes from using the 2.5 crank in the 2.2 litre engine as fitted to the 22B and Legacy.
