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

Жыл бұрын

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.

It was embarassing to watch. They went in with absoltuely no idea as to what they wanted to archive and threw parts at both cars that didn't really make sense.

@@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.

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.
