I am considering doings Suby conversion. I want to keep it simple and plan to use the Subaru transmission and stock ECU. I am currently looking for a donor car. This is all a bit new to me so I need to get some input from those who can
Questions Transmission. There are a number of cheap donor cars advertised with high/low transmissions will this type of transmission work? Engine: I am thinking about using EJ20 2.0 NA engine 125 hp is this a good choice and has anyone used a 1.8 or is this engine too underpowered? Appreciate some input Thanks |

I agree. Overall cost isn't going to be much different and it's the same amount of work so why not start with the stronger engine? The EJ engines are a good basic choice, current, easy to find, strong, and relatively easy to add power with cheap cams, injectors, etc if you eventually want it. And you will. No matter what, EVERYONE wants more power.
