Subiefest 2008
Posted by Tyler Hara on Monday, September 29, 2008Earlier this month, we packed up the Cosworth van with our latest and greatest Subaru wares and headed out to Willow Springs International Raceway for Subiefest 2008. Subiefest is the "largest all-Subaru motorsport event in North America." Those are their words, not mine. But I believe them! There was a huge enthusiast turnout, with all Subaru models well represented.
Despite the heat, people came from all over the western US to show off their Subarus.
Subaru of America brought out about a dozen brand-new 2009 WRX's for people to drive around the track for free. As cool as that was, I think the ice water soaked towels they were handing out were even more popular.
Checking out the Cosworth booth. There's one of those famous Subaru towels again.
Our cutaway EJ25 engine is always a popular conversation piece. It shows off our CNC cylinder head, camshafts, pistons, and connecting rods. The display engine will be refreshed soon, including a new billet stroker crankshaft and other goodies for the SEMA show later this year. Those Subaru towels were everywhere!
See those two Harman Motive cars at the front of the Modified Class time attack field? The ones that finished in first and second place for the weekend? Yeah, they both run Cosworth parts.
Cosworth YB engine
Posted by Cosworth USA on Wednesday, September 24, 2008The Cosworth YB 2.0L Turbocharged engine was launched during 1986 in the 3 door Ford Sierra Cosworth. For the time, it was a potent track weapon with 204bhp and a big front mounted intercooler. The infamous RS500 version of the same car followed in 1987 with 225bhp, a bigger Garret T4 turbo, eight injectors (only four connected) and an engine designation of YBD. The RS500 dominated the touring car world for several years.
In 1988-89, Ford Launched the Sapphire, with a 4x4 version being produced from 1990-92. The Famous Escort Cosworth was launched in 1992 with four wheel drive and was available until 1996. During that period, the Escort conquered the World Rally Series.
The YB series engine was recognized as a excellent platform for various forms of racing in both forced induction and normally aspirated configurations.
Cosworth continues to supply components for the YB including a newly developed light weight alloy block and forthcoming cylinder head. For more information please contact us at mailto:historicparts@cosworth.com
