Who wants to put an H6 in their STi?

Hey all,

We're tired of letting Perrin have all the fun so we're looking for a customer to do an H6 project with. The only requirement is that your car has to be an STi (need a 6 spd. handle all that torque). This car will get a lot of publicity and we'll be spending a lot of time with it . This certainly won't be a cheap project but compared to the 20-$25,000 that some shops are charging for the swap, we think we're offering a bargain. Just think about how much a built 2.5L block with a GT35R and stand alone would run you. We're gunning for 550+ WHP on our heartbreaker dyno .

The package would include:

-Built EZ30R motor
*3.0 horizontally opposed 6 cylinder motor
*AVCS on intake cam
*Sleeved cylinder walls
*Modified crankshaft
*Custom spec forged connecting rods
*Coated race bearings
*Custom spec forged pistons

-Custom Garret GT35R Turbo Kit
*Garrett GT35R .82 A/R Turbo
*Tial 44mm wastgate
*Custom uppipe
*Custom downpipe
*Custom intake and MAF pipe

-Custom Front Mount Intercooler
-Custom exhaust piping
-Helix 860cc Injectors
-Walbro 255L Fuel Pump
-Hydra Standalone ECU
-All installation and tuning


$14,999

Please PM if you're at all interested.

Thanks,

Geoff

is that true.....a gt35 can make 550whp. a gt35 on a ej22-25 makes only +450 on c16 on your dyno?

if i can find a way to sell my parts ie. AXIS block, STi heads/cams, and GRUPPE-S gt30 kit i would be able to do this..

Some has done that already though, there is a guy in the mid west on Nasioc running that very setup. There is also a Rally GC chassis car on the East coast running it as well.

Both of them are bad ***!!

Yeah I just read the whole page on the '95 Coupe. Looks a lot like my old '95 Coupe. Amazing that the H6 bolts right up to the tranny, and the mounts sit fine in the older car. Only issues would seemingly be wiring and front clearance. I would lose the A/C and move the radiator to the front of the core support and do a few things to lighten the front.

I will keep searching for the car in the midwest. I wasn't thinking 'rally car' but more like my RS looking outwardly stockish, but with a wildly different exhaust note and no turbo lag...

Thanks for the info.

It might be pushing that turbo a bit (might have to go GT40R) but I think it can be done. Start shoping that stuff around Mike.

Not much for reading are we? JK JK. Yes, we're well aware of that since we sold PDX that motor
