you could fit a v8 in there if you wanted.
the ej20t should move it along nicely but I personally prefer the progressive nature of a normally asperated engines power curve





a few pics of my other projects

your right as chassis was originaly designed for a Chev, but i can assure you the EG33 thats in there now, takes up a lot more room that that little EJ20.

Havnt posted for a while as weather has been shocking , a realy wet and cold winter, so not a lot of time spent in the shed, but its finaly on wheels, so last weekend was the first fine day for ages i wheeled her out for a couple of pics

front splitter done, [sitting beside wall in shed] removable braces on top rear of engine bay still to go in, and rear shocks still to mount.
getting there slowly

two very rewarding updates from the last couple of days, 1/ i solved my dilema about how to reposition or manufacture a new inlet manifold to fit under the rear body work,as the orig was facing the wrong way and the high side was at the rear , so as it sat it wouldnt fit under the body work without major mods, the answer was stareing at me but i couldnt see it.



simply unbolt the orig and turn it around, gota love those japanese enginers, the only down side is i will have to reposition the alternator, no drama's there.

the second one was weight, i weighed it the other night with some new digital scales from work and what a surprise, as it sits in those latest pics, 458 kg with a split of 190kg fr and 268kg rear, so my estimate for a finnished race weight is approx 530-550kg max
should be reasonably competitive

Very nice project and chassis you've got there, and what type of Subaru engine are you using ?

Cheers

Hi John,
A very good choice and a strong unit to use, in your new sportscar.

I'm looking forward to your build in the future., with the final bodywork

Would you be able to drive it on the road, or only on track ?
Cheers
Italo

A nice chassis to play with in the future, if you ever wanted to create a new body shape for a road car...

Cheers
Italo
