Subaru guys? Options

What motors are you using?

Why would I bother if it was not with demonic as the end goal....
For me, it would be pointless to learn otherwise.

I would rather get a whole car, and we are friends with the owner of the local yard....so he may let me borrow a car for a while....strip out what I want, then send it back.

It's all new to me.

I have spent quite a bit of time on the Nasioc site.....need to spend more time learning.
Thankfully there is a local shop that specializes in these Frankenstein cars, so I may reach out, may not...
Seems to be loads of information online about how to modify them, but loads of it is conflicting with many younger guys just bolting on parts to see what happens....which is actually cool in my opinion.
I would like to start with the forged Pistons, so I will see what the local guy has today.
My price point would be under 2k for a motor, but it needs to be turbo, with the harness and ECU.

Field trip today, after we put the clutch in the mini ....which currently is all apart, laying all over my shop, and my daughter is coming home today to use her car....so we will get it done today, hopefully.
Next time anyone whines about the price of parts, or the restricted amount of space to work on our cars, go do a clutch job on a Mini Cooper, then let me know how you feel about it......

Gonna look right into the teeth of the Demon, huh Rich? Sorry, not gonna be able to help you with that, you're scaring me. Should be viable for $2000 though, check any one of the dozens of Japanese engine importers for a JDM STi motor, 2.0 with forged internals. Think Megasquirt, though, you'll "learn" more relevant stuff with it, and won't need to spend so many late nights searching through a bunch of nearly indecipherable Japanese wiring diagrams and sensor spec sheets and learning otherwise useless information. Even better would be a harness and aftermarket ECU from Outfront, but if you're choosing to look straight into the teeth of the Demon you're definitely not interested in the Easy Way.
