pull motor/clutch replacement help

Post by jeffrhomola33 »

okay! so i got a 1991 subaru legacy 2.2l and i recently rebuilt it. it has 4000 miles on the re-built motor. but now my clutch it out :x so im thinkin of just pullin the motor again to put a all new clutch kit in. and the big question is what could i do while im this deep into the car to make it faster? i dont wanna spend to much but if im that far i mey as well do something cool! ya kno? by the way its non turbo. and do you got any advise on what kind of clutch i should look into? something not to exspencive but good.

If it's AWD you're going to have a hard time getting it to burnout without a lot of upgrades or skinny tires. If it's a FWD model, you should already be able to burnout.

As far as more power while it's out. You're best options are lightweight flywheel and a set of cams. That'll net you quicker throttle response and around 15-25 chp.

Both jobs are pretty easy once the motor's out of the car.

A good lightweight fly will cost around $200. Weight varies depending on how light you want to go. I'm running a 13lb ACT Streetlight and many others on the board are doing the same. I wouldn't really recommend anything much lighter for a daily car.

Cams will cost you around $200 for both. You'll be in it another $30 or so for the seals you should be doing at the same time.

Flywheel will free up power....revs better and better off the line power. Cams will actually increase the power of the motor.

For a N/A car.....do both

I have seen a N/A 2.2 Legacy put down 160 awhp with flywheel, pulleys, exhaust, intake, cams, MSD ignition control and aftermarket fuel pressure regulator

1) You call Delta and order the cams you want.
2) Get all excited about how much more powa you're going to have.
3) Pull the cams out of your motor and send them back to Delta to receive your core deposit.
4) Receive and install the Delta cams.
5) Go and violate as many traffic laws as possible with all your new powa. :twisted:
