I have been slowly gathering parts for a suby conversion. I have an EJ20T motor. I have replaced the timing belt and the belt covers on it. I fabricated a custom wire harness for it with the intention of using a megasquirt controller. I have the Kennedy adaptor plate and flywheel. I have also purchased an outback exhaust manifold and braided SS hose kit to relocate the turbo.
The problem is as I get closer to cutting the front for the radiator I can't quite see putting a big hole in the tub. The car is in excellent condition cosmetically. I also continue to see the power available from the T4 increasing (thanks Jake). I still need roughly $1000 - $1500 in stuff to complete the suby. I could probably sell the suby stuff for $1000 - $1500. So $2000-$3000 bucks to play with. 225hp from the Suby ?Hp from the T4 (I do have an Eaton M62 blower laying around????) So, the question is do I keep the suby or stay T4. Help me decide. |
