Subaru 360 zero to sixty test

[2stroketurbo]

I have modified my vintage 1969 Subaru 360 quite a bit. It is fast. I thought you guys may like to see it accelerate. Remember, this is engine is a EK32, two cylinders, air cooled, 360 cc's.

Thanks Mark, welcome to the forum. Yes, amazing acceleration for a 360 cc car!

Aah yes, it's always good to have more enthusiasts on this site. Mind telling us what the mods are?

Thanks. Sure. Most Subaru 360's struggle to even reach 50-55 mph. Subaru 360 parts are very hard to come by, most have to be hand made or reproduced.

You can see the digital wideband air fuel/ratio meter in the video. I was able to jet the stock carb correctly with this. In addition, I fabricated a prototype expansion chamber from a Yamaha go cart, a prototype electronic ignition, modified air filter, balanced and 20% stronger clutch, .05mm pistons, smoothed ports, radial tires, synthetic gearbox and injector oils, and a homemade vapor injector.

Here is a video of my van on the dyno. Vans have the same drive train. This one is fairly stock.

Thanks for the info. Me and my buddy saw an old school Subaru awd hatch in san francisco. It was just sitting there for a few months. I personally wanted to buy it and then install a newer impreza boxer engine in it. That would've been enough to make that baby run like a beast, because it was SO light.

Yes, I know a few of those conversions. I have done a few myself. Make no mistake it is a lot of work. Here is a project I have been working on for some time now. I put a Mitsubishi AWD 2.0 turbo 4g63 engine in a Subaru 360 sedan. This by no means stock and is a one off project.

I'm pretty passionate about these little cars.

Here is a "candid" video of my 356 cc Subaru 360 sedan on a highway high speed test run with stock exhaust and before I fabricated the custom expansion chamber. GPS was used to verify speed.

(Thanks admin for fixing my you tube links. I think I've got it figured out now.)

Damn, you droppped a 4g63 in there? That is one of the most tuner friendly engines out there.

Yeah, I know by no means it was going to be easy, but we wanted to do it anyways. It was going to be a project that we were going to work on while we were going to college together. But, we found out it was going to get expensive really fast.
