Paul Tan on the Automotive Industry
Check out this drag racing-tuned Subaru Brumby with a Subaru WRX turbocharged boxer engine under its hood. When I say under the hood, I mean most of it anyway – check out the turbocharger sticking out of the hood! The EJ22 engine (stroked up to 2.34 litres) puts out 495 horsepower now (in the video it makes between 420 and 470 depending on whether nitrous oxide is used), and does the quarter mile in 10.41 seconds. Video after jump.

Impressive, still dreaming of owning a VTEC classic Mini one day…
I wonder what will happen in Msia if we drive that car with a big turbo out of the bonnet cover. It’s massive.
I think i just wet my pants.
holy cow………too bad it’s setup for drag – can’t run it on full boost for a long time. but that’s some serious power!!!
I just love that sound… whoa…
