Decided to use the Wrx gages and dash but it was a right hand drive...fun to flip it all around and fit it all together. time for fiberglass and paint.

engine is rated at 240hp with the turbo...radiator will go up front and will be vented out through a fiber glass shroud so I can keep a small trunk up there :-)

Oh so your planning to keep all the factory sensors and dash? In the off-road car alot of the factory sensors will be missing and I will not have a dash. So I was told it will be easier to run a stand alone computer. Another option is to trick the factory computer with jumpers on the missing sensors. I'm just trying to figure out how to do it without spending the $1500 for the standalone computer and wiring.

Microsquirt Justin.

If I did it again I would go microsquirt and tune it myself. (Actually I would probably go MS3 Pro for all the features).

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) MS3 Pro, or MS Plug and Play. That being said lots of people have done the conversion with the stock ECU.

Scott is the guy that comes to mind for a stock ECU build PORSTI build thread

Cool project, looking forward to seeing it in person one of these days.
