Speedbuggy

You have? Crazy, this town is barely a blip on the map. This 'buggy' is strictly set up for street. We just cruise with it. I use it like other people use Harleys (or maybe in this case a Hayabusa) (and in fact my last motorcycle was traded in on my first buggy) but the whole family can ride with me. I call it a buggy for lack of a better term. Its much more a streetrod than a 'Dune Buggy' IMO.

Thanks. Yeah, it's pretty freaking quick. Weighs about 1900lbs and it dyno'd at 220hp at the wheel.

sure! Here's my favorite shot of it so far: And a bunch more here: http://picasaweb.google.com/ajhostetler75/Manxter?feat=directlink

Thanks Gary, you answered my first and biggest question right off the bat (ie. what is this thing?). Based on that hopefully I can find some service manuals. I know it's highly modified (running a Stinger EMS and with the single Turbonetics Turbo) but that should still help. It's currently running great, I just want to be able to keep it that way. Up until now I've been running Volkswagen powered buggies (and rebuilt a couple engines from the bottom up) and based on that I can't conceive how exhaust and intake valves can collide. Going to have to find some engine diagrams. ETA: OK, found a diagram and see what you're talking about. I'll be sure to keep a nice solid belt on it at all times!

Hi, I just purchased a Subaru powered Dune Buggy and I know next to nothing about Subaru engines. Are there other's here like me? Will I be able to find lots of useful information or should I look elsewhere? Here's a shot of the engine in my buggy: All I know about it is that it's a 4 cylinder engine built by Outfront Motorsports out of California running a Turbonetics T3/T4 turbo with an external TIAL wastegate. I believe it's a 2.5L engine, but I have no idea what kind of vehicle the case came out of or anything. Any help with how I can figure out this information to make servicing it easier would be greatly appreciated.
