pro4 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Hello , new here hopefully I am posting this on the right board . I have in the plans to run a subaru powered race car in 2017 . Everyone else has been running the ford 2.3 and the new thing is the honda 2000 . I myself seem to believe the 2.2 can be competive but I havent ran acrost too many upgrades to these engines. I did find a aftermarket ballancer but that was about it . Is there a place that has aftermarket rods , cams ect ... ? Also any tricks ect to beef these up? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uberoo Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Best upgrade is the 2.5 block+ 2.2 heads, or just the complete 2.5 engine,Better still is the turbo versions if rules allow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quadrozontal Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) You can use a 2.5 crank in a 2.2 to to achieve 2.3 liters, or a 2.0 crank in a 2.5 to get to 2.3, I believe. You have to mix and match different rods and pistons to make it work out and I have only read about it, I have no personal experience but if you do some research you'll find info. Delta does cam regrinds, techworks(http://www.techworkseng.com/Products/Subaru_Engine_Cams.htm) does stuff for the 2.5 and 2.0, but if you could use the 2.5 or de-stroke a 2.5 to 2.3 then they might be a good resource, according to them(check out the "news" "press release section on their sight) they were able to build a 300 hp N/A 2.5.

Uberoo Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Typically you don't give up displacement if your goal is to make power naturally aspirated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro4 Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Thanks for the replys. I have to weigh 1 lb per cc so 2.5 is out and would like ideally to be around 2200 lbs . I have done some research and found some nice h beam rods . I am having trouble finding a cam . Went with a 2.2 from a 93 legacy 2 port exhaust . I will try Delta cams and see what they say . This will be seeing around 8000 rpm . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberoo Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Your going to need to convert to a carb or go with megasquirt or some other stand alone computer because the stock computer kills the fun at 6200 rpm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
