I was watching this video and wondered if anyone has any insight as to what this race engine has on it to make 300 hp. I noticed a huge intake and a different looking intake manifold. It's pretty cool that you can drive a car like this on the street legally!

...A LOT of money!

This. Along with supporting mods likely. and whether or not the internals can take that much is another question. It'd be badass for sure though

Engine swap.

I thought 300hp could be had with a bigger turbo, tune, high flow intercooler, catback, injectors, intake..

I can pretty much guaranty that motor has been completely blue-printed and tweaked internally.

.... and down pipe, and... and... and... heh

Good luck on the injectors front...

 

[Drifter]

Intercooler, Intake, full exhaust, uprated internals, Hybrid turbo , Injectors, uprated fuel pump, Finsport Stage 3 software.

Dont need a set of injectors on a direct injection car..

"Big" turbo (Gtx28Rs, 30R etc) and supporting mods should get you there. Tuning will be the real challenge.

 

[djwhiplash2001]

Yeah, GT28RS plus supporting mods might get you there. 3071 should as well but with plenty of lag to go along with it.

oh really. and why's that?

 

[djwhiplash2001]

^Yeah, definitely false, GTIs are DI and a big turbo requires injectors.

 

[SVOFANATIC]

Well as of now they still don't make injectors for the 2.3 MZR mazda engine's. We may end up in the same boat having to do 5th and 6th port injection....

This.

Just drop a Focus motor in your car with a down pipe and a tune - 300HP easy.

V8 RWD swap anybody??

 

[betterthansx]

Typically in rally applications they switch to a longitudinally mounted engine and add AWD.

They also run restrictors on their turbos due to the rules. They all make 300-310hp but a WRC car will have 400-600tq.

For the FiST engine to make 300whp you will likely need a GTX28 sized turbo or equivalent, full turboback exhaust, custom intake (to fit turbo), aftermarket intercooler, LSD, high pressure fuel pump, probably meth injection and perhaps driveshafts and clutch.

300hp isn't much on paper but 300hp is a TON of power especially for these types of car!

 

[94Gt5.0]

Eh yes and no, it is a significant bump in power over stock, but how many 400-600whp civics are out and about doing just fine (with good axles and such)? 300whp in a front drive car isn't anything out of the ordinary now days, and have you seen our axles? Things look bigger than the Mosers I have in the drag car haha.
