Sometimes the SVX really feels like it has more power than it is rated at... I mean, there's something odd going on when a 230hp 3500lb car can hang with a 287hp 3300lb Nissan 350Z or a 280hp Infiniti G35..

I havnt had my SVX long either. But I managed to get it to the drag strip during an import night. I made 3 trips and also had it put on the Dyno. The dyno said I was getting 147HP at the wheels. On the strip my best time was 16.074 in the 1/4mile at 86.95mph. My SVX is a front wheel drive only with 20,000 miles on it. So I've got the advantage of a lighter car and a tranny that is still in good condition. For a stock 6 it's got good performance. If you want to compare numbers compare them to a stock 3000GT SL, or non-turbo 300ZX or Supra from the 90's. remember thats when your car was built. Auto technology has advanced alot in 10 years. If Subaru were to build the SVX today and used current technology the engine would probubly have over 300 horses and if they stuck with there current turbo craze(ie WRX) it would probubly fall just shy of 400. There are people on here working on projects to increase power. Even a twin turbo system.

Twin Turbo? I'll be a guinea pig! I supply the parts and the blood/sweat labor. Some fellow SVX owners in Michigan help out with the install? Just a thought. |

my SVX runs high 14s.
maybe its just the cooler weather up here, but, i dunno. all i know is i wasted my 15.9 XT6 and barely beat out my friends 14.7 Sentra SE-R spec V. never lost a drag except to a dodge neon SRT 4 due to the timing being off after replacing the water pump. i have some minor mods and weight reduction going at the moment. i even took out my A?C system. weight is key. that and a tranny cooler for those of us without 5 spds. for the record i say i run 15 flat. oh crud. i just remembered one of my butterfly valves doesnt open. i think maybe the line is broke. the last owner left the engine in bad condition.

Seems like I saw some web page where a guy was selling a 5 speed kit and turbos for SVX. Maybe that was a dream I had.... |

i dont know anything about DEACH but i did ask Dayle about Lambo doors on the svx. the extra steel framing in this car weighs the doors down. so even though its possible to do its not a great idea. if you get some good struts to hold them up it should be ok.
yes there are 5 spd kits available. they are produced by smallcar performance, who makes and sells them, or go through motorsports warehouse (plug). im thinking of getting the powered air turbine from Next Level for the intake. closest thing to forced induction. add some vents for cool air to the hi flow intake and a true dual exhaust and youll be running low 14s easy. at this point the power kinda maxes out due to small fuel injectors. theoretically i was around 260hp but in reality it was closer to 246. ive come across two injector upgrades if you got the dough.

its like this. our puny 275cc injectors are dwarfed by every other component, limiting hp to about 250.
in first place we have the Nissan Motorsports 555cc injectors. they bolt in. very pricey, but if you want to reach 500hp thats what you need. runner up are the Infinity Q-45 injectors. they run 375cc. these are cheaper and what i am going to use. dont get anything else off that car though, its an under acheiver. youll need a dual intake system for the nissan 'jectors, essentially to bypass the air sensor and fool it into thinking only half the air is coming in. i suggest filtered ram air right from a hood scoop. for the Infinitys a really good aftermarket air/fuel computer will work to override the oem readings. injectors are pricey but considering my wishlist is going to surpass 10 g's anyway... if youre reading this do me a favor and see if both your butterfly valves work. im sure they do but i just want to be assured that fixing it and letting the proper amount of air in will help me go faster. there really is more potential in the SVX than its given credit for. BTW, snakeeyes, what side of Jefferson do you live? Heh you have 3 of my favorite things. An SVX, GSX1300, and a home in the motor city. phew - [''']> (-_-)_y^^^
