03 S2K VS 90's Impreza (6 cylinder) Vid inside
My buddy swapped a H6 engine from a Subaru SVX into his little Impreza L. The 3.3 litre SVX engine is rated @ 230hp and 228tq. He completed his swap a couple weeks ago and worked out all the kinks so we decided to go out and do some fun run. The weight of his car is probably a little lighter than the S2000, so he might have a wieght advantage...but technically i have 10 more horse on him. But then again, he's got 70+ torque over me so this was going to be an interesting race.
His mods: Intake, full exhuast, tranny from a 5spd forester (short gears).
My mods: Bone stock....2003 S2000 w/ AP2 V2 wheels.
First run we did was from a 25 mph roll. I stay in 1st and he's in second. Right away he pulls and keeps pulling. I think the shift from 1-2 really hurted my run. He puts 2 car lengths on me by the end of 3rd and we stay that way to 120mph.
Second run was much closer. Went from a 45 roll. We're both in 2nd, he only had 1000rpms left till redline...don't know why he didn't start in third. Anyways, he slowly creeps away from me and ends up putting a car length on me by the end of 4th. Shifting into 5th he pulls a little more.
I didn't expect his car to be this quick.
Here's the video from the second run, quality sucks but you get the idea:

he got more torque, that might be the reason he keeps pulling on the S.

do you think if the S was equipped with gears (let say 4.44 or 4.56) would that make it even? im considering on changing route. instead of installing the CTSC w/AC, ill get a gear swap instead but im leaning more on 4.44 fd.
