american fella...
i read up a fair bit on his project when i was looking into buying one...
and there WAS a site i found (forum) that had a fair few guys doing the same thing, and highly N/A tuning them. (comp chips etc) and also guys trying to supercharge them.:clapping:

cheers!

yeh im really curious about them because i want to eventually move up from my gen 1 lib and i cant stand turbos (no offence) because of the lag. ive looked at the conversion pizzabox did which is crazy. i want a na suberu that i can mess around with the cams and valves and a 3.3 quad cam would be awsome. if i decide to go away from subarus i might for for an ebII xr6 they are still made to handle on the track. v8s sound awsome too but just arnt as flickable. anyone got any other suggestions???

eb series 2 xr6 falcons are the grouse 7.2 seconds to the 100 handling was re designed from the base model by tickford theres not much off the stock falcon. they would thrash every other ford and holdern in a corner for their time and are o so modifiable. i know blokes with 170kw and 200kw atw 2002 rexs they are fast but im just not a fan i want power through the rev range. svxs were made to be cruisey i rekon rather than a full on boy racer car subey was making the rs for that wernt they?

Wow not even the V8 can hit 7.2 seconds, i'd love to see the xr6. Alex haven't you run a quicker quarter mile with your RX?

Performance:
(Falcon S XR8, 5.0L V8, 5 sp manual):
Top speeds in gears
1st: 52km/h
2nd: 85km/h
3rd: 130km/h
4th: 181km/h
5th: 221km/h
0-100km/h: 7.7 seconds
Standing 400m: 15.7 seconds

Bahahahahahaha

Owned!

all im going to say is WTF never gona happen 7.2

Why The Fcuk u got a subi then for if u r so hook on xr6 makes no sense

Popcorn. It's time to watch this ridiculous episode unfold.

Mate i struggled thru your Horrible posts. But here goes.

AWD does not automaticly mean understeer. With the correct suspension components, they Oversteer quiet alot. I know i drive one that does.

Annoying lag? You obviously have never driven a decent turbo car. Yes there is some lag, but IMO Subaru's deal with it better than any other car. (Honestly i've only driven; Sr20T Silvia, 2JZGTE Supra and a 98 STI WRX.) Out of those three the STI was by far the most responsive.
The fact you can keep it on the gas thru the corners means faster lap times.
With the RWD you have to get off the gas. Not doing so will end up with either chronic Oversteer, or the reverse. This is bad for tyres and bad for lap times.
They also cause a vortech in the intake air flow, from what i have read this can effect the Air fuel ratio's, resulting in an overly rich or overly lean ratio. Both of which are bad.
CAI vs stock on a turbo will always reveal an improvements
CAI vs stock on NA will result in a small amout of increased throttle response, i know this because i have done this.

I suggest before you start making wild claims and accusations you do some research, as was show with you XR6 0-100 claim, you clearly do not know what you talk about.

The reason alot of race cars are RWD, is because most touring car compititions requier the participants to use certain cars.
RWD and FWD are alot cheaper to produce han any AWD cars.

AWD:
GTR
GTIR
EVO
WRX
STI
Audi's
go check the prices on these.

RWD:
Comodore's
Falcons
BMW

Yes there are expensive RWD cars, this generaly comes down to the materials used in the driveline, and the technology used.
Im sure i could think of more, but get your head around that.

DING DING!! Round 1 "chic holds up sign"
