1303 sti project 325hp+ on the road!! New video 260 klm on autobahn!!

hello

i'm johan and from holland and read a lot on this forum
i also have a project of my on busy on it now for 2 years
i have a 1303 from 1972 and have done some mods

but i started with this




front and rear porsche 944 trailing arms
944 disc's and boxter calipers
rear mod to unibail coil overs
porsche G50.03 964 transmission
KEP connection kit a clutch kit
subaru ej207 sti engine 2002 runned 36000miles
custom intercooler inlets
custom wheels 16"steel rims widend front 2,5cm
rear 6,5cm
and much more










also have a full rollcage and doorbars (removaible)



did al the engine wiring (big job)


custom 3"exhaust magnaflow mufflers


custom inlets on the front wing hope it will work to let the airflow out off under wings at high speed


intercooler inlets placed the rear windows 15cm inside and airflow is getting out to the original air outlet under the rear window







i'm now busy to get the body ready for paint
but it is getting slowly i'm also renovating the house

this is how the engine look like now


custom little wing to improve air flow to intercooler



but i hope i can drive i the second half of this year

i have also some video's on youtube

engine

2002 subaru wrx sti (bugeye model) ej207 sti engine VF35 turbo

should have at least 325hp+. it is not been on the dyno yet
rev.limit 7800rpm
i can get 120klm (75mph) in second gear 😉

exhaust:
custom made 3" stainless steel with 2 magnaflow 4" mufflers
i'm driving with DB-killers it is now 2 times 2,25"
but it has no influence on the power or spool up of the turbo
but driving without db killers makes it like a rally car sound
there is a youtube link above

gearbox:

porsche 911(964) G50.03 5 speed gearbox incl shifter
that is modified to custom shifting linkage


clutch adapter kit

fully roll cage incl doorbars

and much more

i have to do some little things on the interior
and polish the paint
and i need to make a front splitter
because when doing around 200klm (125mph)
it is getting to search on the road a i need to do little
corrections just like in old porsche
when putting a good splitter underneath
i has to do better and i can test it on the autobahn next year
(i'm from holland and live 15klm from the autobahn ;D )

hope you like it

Wow, your goal was to have a bug with 300hp and you have definitely achieved what you wanted.

Congratulations and you make me want to go down another path and build something similar 🙁

Be careful driving and enjoy. See if you can drive it around without smiling 😂😂😂😂

Cheers, Kev

It is al most fully done

I bought a kamei spoiler that will be fitted and i have to do an splitter
And then it is 100% ready

Hi

Your transmission sounds just like mine. How are you finding the puck clutch?

Yes the famous g50 rattle
The puck clutch is very sticky specialy when warm
But with a dragrace it is very good

Hi

I'm running a KEP organic disc with one of their lightweight covers, it works well and nearly everyone who drives the car stalls the motor as it can be a bit savage.

So is the puck clutch in or out? Or can you slip it a little?

I have the 6 puck kep clutch an oem porsche pressure plate
You can slip it a little
You just have to get used to it
When i drive it for a hole day i have no problem with it
To slip it
But it is more difficult because the pedals are floor mount

Fantastic build 👍

got new video sprint 0 -200klm
wheelspin in 1 gear and to early to 2 gear but still pretty fast!!
but only the audio is still problem that i need to fix
sorry about that
