IwannaSportSedan Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 They don't have enough money nor motivation to commit to such a project. I wish they would, but I don't have that much confidence in them, at least not SOA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew.anderson Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I am sure the Turbo H6 is coming. In case you missed it PDX Tuning already has three Turbo H6 cars they have built. LINK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 What do you guys think? Does anyone have an h8 or would it be to big to fit in an engine bay? I think there should be a Tribeca spec B with a H8 or V8 that could tow over 5k pounds. until Porsche does, I dont think Subaru will..

Legacy BoB Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I see them going with and H6 Diesel for towing power befor and h8. And Subaru has made its name with it turbo h4's, I see them keeping with that for any sports car they do, now a mid engine sports car with the sti setup might be a fun car.

speeding_gaijin Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Well, since Subie dropped Twin Turbo, I doubt H6 TT will ever come out. Twin Scroll or regular turbo may be available in the future. I bet TomiKaira or Trial Motorsport of some crazy tuning company will turbo a H6 before Subaru does. As far as H8, I can bet a 100 bux it will never come out. Correct me if I am wrong, even Porsche, also famous for their flat engines never made an 8 cyllinder one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVXWRX Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 subaru already made a flat12 for F1, and it didn't work so good. http://www.f1rejects.com/teams/coloni/profile/subaru.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallschirmjaeger Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I never thought Porsche would make anything larger than a H6...but look at what they popped into the Porsche GT 10-cylinders of goodness. Subaru and Porsche suffer from the same design restrictions when it comes to engine packaging, I think. But if Subaru would ever build a mid-engine sports car... yeah, I could see H6 or even H8 in that, definately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Carrera GT's engine is a V10, not an H10 (and the engine in the Cayenne is a V8). Nobody has used a boxer engine larger than an H6 since the Ferrari Testarossa, I believe. phoenix96 2006 Legacy GT Ltd · 2011 Outback 3.6R Ltd · 1992 SVX 2006 Outback 3.0R VDC · 2009 Forester 2.5X 2002 Outback VDC · 1996 Outback 2.5L · 1986 GL-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
