I'm restarting my build and have been rethinking the motor. I have built with the Subaru 2.0 STI motor but have been looking at the EZ 30. Was wondering what you guys think.

QUOTE(Chris914n6 @ Oct 17 2018, 10:48 PM)  Depends on how far along you are and how soon you want to be driving. Have you bought the cradle/mounts? Adapter kit? ECU/FI? Just the motor? I'd go backwards as little as possible. Have the 4 motor but no a 6. Have the tran's ,but also have the Adapter to go with the 901.(that will be for sale with the flywheel and starter ) But think the Subaru tran's is the way to go. No cradle but can build that. I thought that the cradle builder was not doing it anymore ? ECU will be MS ,used that on other builds.So that will work for a 4 or 6. |

There is a possibility that Ben/MB911 may build a bulkhead engine mount like what is used on 914-6 conversions but for Suby’s. The idea is to eliminate possible interference between the mount and oil pan, axles, exhaust and engine to firewall clearance. |
