After long deliberation and a lot of research on my Subaru Conversion, I received this engine transmission combination in the mail from Alberta, BC. It's a Naturally aspirated SOHC Subaru 2.5 litre out of an Impreza TS (2003) with 118K miles. I was able to get the transmission and ecu from the same car. The tranny is a 5mt with hydraulic clutch.
I tried the donor car approach on Copart and kept getting outbid for what I wanted to pay. In the end I went direct on ebay so I could get the exact engine year I wanted and I did not have a hulk sitting in the driveway for the neighbors to look at. I paid more than I wanted ($1,574 with shipping) to but in the end , you get what you pay for. Related Threads: Decision to Subarize or not to Subarize Engine Choices Poll on Best Engine Choices The plan is to change the head gaskets, check the condition of the clutch, and convert the transmission to front wheel drive. Any other suggestions on the engine? Anyone know it that's a push or pull style clutch? Looks like a push from the photo. Ian, I will be needing your help once you are up and running.

[/quote] ....I dont see any fun in not doing a turbo.... rich [/quote] Even if it's a -6? [/quote] From what I have read 165 hp is a nice balance of power for the 914. I considered a 6, but for a number of resasons decided to go with the 2.5 NA. There's lots of options down the road I might try later. |
