Well, the time has come to start documenting the whole ordeal and process. I've decided to do a subaru conversion. I hope I can have this done by January 1st, in hopes of doing the "Hangover Rally" once again.
The plans, somewhat flexible, involve: Renegade Hybrids Kit Renegade Hybrids Radiator EJ25 Normally Aspirated (USDM) engine Stock (Subaru) Fuel injection Stainless Steel fuel lines And some possible additions include: Adjustable Front Sway Bar to replace the current one Larger wheels Lower profile tires New interior Back pad Relocate power (Stereo) Still unresolved and undecided Fuel Pump. Which one, and where to mount. How to run coolant hoses How to vent warm air Whether or not to cut/replace current front bumper. So... this is her farewell picture Attached image(s) ![]() |

I have already ordered the kit from Renegade. I'm not going to get it as soon as I want... but there's a "chance" I might get a Christmas present from them this year.
ECU... for now it's the stock ECU. I just can't afford the $1300-1500 for a stinger or Link ECU right now. Especially when I already have the stock ECU. All I have right now is time... so I can work on the wiring harness until I get the conversion parts. |

When you are negotiating your engine if they are set on the price push to get as many items put into the deal as possible. Since they would not budge on the price $850.00 I had them put in the exhaust manifold, Cruise control, complete wire harness all computers, fuse boxes, ignition switch, included.
I am going to use the stock Subaru ECU with mine. You want the Transaxle in good shape, before you put more than double the HP & Torque through it. dont know if the Weltmeister shifter reverse/1 st lock out Spring kit actually works but it sounds good. In looking at the way Renagede cut their radiator exhaust, I think I will do mine differently. I do not like the Radiator's hot air exhausting out through the fendors and heating the brakes. I have my Radiator to exhaust out through the bottom center where the spare tire used to sit I found Rubber Radiator hose in 3 foot sections of either 1-1/4" 1-1/2" at a diesel truck shop. I am going to put these 3ft rubber radiator hose's into the heater tube's along the side of the body coming from the engine compartment along side the body to the inside of the passenger compartment up by the foot section then forwad under the tank. My heater hoses will go under the passenger side rocker panel. West |
