i know this is my first post, but I was taught when i was young, if you don't know ask, it can save you a lot of money down the road... So here it goes..
I am building a race car, a ministock. The rules say i can use any car after 70, it must be 4cyl 2.5 liters or less 2wd, meaning fwd or rwd, but not rwd IRS.. The car must be less then 102 inch wheelbase, and cannot be labeled as a sports car.. Due to past rules written against me they no longer allow turbo chargers.. The car has to weigh a minimum of 2300lbs. The car must appear stock and use stock efi or carb components for year make and model..
This being said, and after a trip to the track to watch a honda prelude (190hp stock) clean house, I have chosen a 96 Impreza 2 dr, 2wd.. The car has been converted to fwd only, and I have removed the 1.8. What I have so far is a 2.5 sohc shortblock, a 90's 2.2 legacy turbo drop out and a non turbo 2.2 drop out and 2 1.8 dropouts.. I have a fidenza 2.5 flywheel along with a race clutch, CAI and a chip..
I do not mind spending money , but I only want to spend it once.. What is the easiest power out of this setup.. Ie; What cams? What heads on which block?? What throttle plate?? What trans will hold up to the power?? what injectors?? what exhaust?? What type of power can i expect from it??
The track is a 1/3 mile asphault oval, and I held the track record in a full race Mustang @ 17.89 on Radials.. The reason I am going away from mustangs is most track rules are written around them and I want to race something that is different and has an abundance of aftermarket parts.. I believe with the research i have done the Subaru is the right candidate, I just need the right recipe.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.. I will update with pics as i progress on the car... Any parts you have to sell and links would be great as well thanx
