AMS Pikes peak build!

AMS · 03-26-2009, 12:36 PM

Things have been really chaotic here at the shop this week. It seems all we have been working on are purpose built race cars. Well this is no exception. On monday Dave Kern and his AMS sponsored Pikes peak winning rally car showed up for an upgrade to say the least.

Dave and Allison were able to take first place in the time attack division at pikes peak last year and put in an AMAZING showing at rally events all over the Colorado area last year

Here are some videos of the evo in action:

Dave is putting aside the stock engine and 330whp in trade for an AMS built 2.3 stroker motor and all the fixins!

what Mr Kern see's as Alison (his wife) and himself pilot this car up 14,000 feet!

The old motor out and ready for the new power plant!

Mr Kern himself juuuuuuust a bit excited for the switch

New AMS motor about to be hoisted in.

The new power plant in the car complete with AMS WRC TR30R V-band Turbo kit

Most of Dave's races require him to run a 34mm restrictor. To combat this we sourced a Garrett motorsports TR30R designed to work with a 34mm restrictor

Stay tuned as the season progresses to see how Dave and Allison's new found power rockets them through the dirt in upcoming rally events

Thank you

Most pics in first post dont work.

Is that a blacked out CTS-V in the next bay? I'd like to see a few pics of that.

With no disrespect. As much as I love seeing the top notch work that the guys do at AMS, its not so fullfilling to see it done on an EVO (all the time). All in all, out of place.

This is a Subaru forum.

Respectfully have to disagree. A little variety isn't a bad thing, especially from its one of the best shops in the US.

Keep up the good work AMS.

Be nice or they will stop making Subaru parts for our cars.

Nice build guys. Keep up the awesome work!

vik_wrx · 03-26-2009, 01:43 PM

Wow nice job guys

Mechie3 · 03-26-2009, 01:47 PM

I do like seeing Subie builds more, but I like seeing any build with custom stuff on any car (mostly imports, muscle cars don't fascinate me too much).

Do you guys make a surge tank like that for Subies?

jigga · 03-26-2009, 03:00 PM

Im confused.. I though that cast F-1I intake manifold had already been released? or am i reading about the wrong intake manifold on the EVO forums?

NJ 2.5RS · 03-26-2009, 03:03 PM

Yes, let's complain about one of the best Evo shops spending time to hang out with the Subaru community.
