That's a sweet motor. The Suby ECU's are very tunable in stock form. Lots of aftermarket parts and 2.5L really gives the car more low end grunt.
Someday I can afford to go that route. |

That is going to be a Rocket!
Let me know if I can help with any Suby questions. Just wrapped up my conversion w/suby wiring harness. Small Car Performance is a good resource for tech questions too. |

One of my main problems is that I must maintain all of the ODB2 stuff in order
to pass emission testing. All I can say so far is that there is a lot of bull shit stuff that must stay connected up. |

The Subaru EJ225 engine was installed the project came to a shrieking halt.
I found out I could not shift the transmission as the engine sat too low in the frame. After a couple of weeks I dream up this shifting arrangement. I then build it on the bench and installed it in the car. Found I made a couple of mistakes but were easily corrected after it was installed. It shift like a dream and no play in the linkage!!! Now I can work on the next problem the gas tank. Here's what the prototype look like. Here's it installed in the car. |

That shifter is the craziest thing I've ever seen. And I mean that as a compliment! Nice work!
