Anyone see this wild beast yet? This 2007 997.1 GT3 debuted at SEMA, "The GT3 remains boxer-powered, but with an altogether different character courtesy of Subaru." It started off as a rolling shell (crashed and stripped by the previous owner) and was built by Faruk Kugay of DevSpeed motorsports, where it got its engine swapped for ENEOS.
Here are the power details broken down:
Quote:
Kugay selected an EJ25 engine from the 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI for the swap. The idea was to keep the GT3 boxer-powered, which would best fit its rear-engine layout. The EJ25 also suited the aim of building an all-out track car. It weighs a full 170 lb lighter than the GT3's original flat-six. Plus, it can be tuned to exceed the original GT3's 415 horsepower as stock.
In pursuit of power goals, the STI engine was treated to a BorgWarner EFR 7064-C turbo. Supporting mods included a Vibrant vertical flow intercooler, Deatschwerks injectors, fuel pumps, and a Nuke Performance fuel cell to supply the go juice. The power goal is 550 hp, the rated max of the BorgWarner turbo.
All that power will be sent to the rear, via the STI's six-speed transmission. It's been kitted out with a reverse-cut ring gear and special bellhousing from Subarugears to suit the rear-engine layout of the Porsche.
