a newer member with the name of mongol something or other real name evan ordered his 2002 suby 2.5 engine yesturday. the motor is a 60 K mile engine for 1600 complete including the harness, exhaust mainfold, ecu ie everything. he looked locally but they wanted 2800 for everything. the only down fall is the shipping from kali to maryland ran him 285.

basicly he puts 300 to 400 miles a week on his car and wants more power better gas milage than his raby parts 2056.

the funny part is after i gave him a test run and he says his 2056 with about 120 hp feels like a dog. the great part was when i gave his GF a ride she did not but giggle and said he does not need that much hp

we east coast 914ers are taking over (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/assimilate.gif) and i am forming a subculture of suby conversions (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) , with a few seeds thrown around the country ie Tony

no body cutting at all, just removed the engine shelf to clean up and give a little more space. i could do it again in 50 hours or so from scratch

I may have to start looking in the corners of these little salvage and wrecker yards.......I wanted to run one of the ea82 1.8s in the magic bus. It had a 1.8 rabbit 8v in it now so I may just see if there are ANY performance parts for the sube out there......The ea82's were tough as nail but didn't make much HP. Not enough to justify the conversion, anyway
