EZ30R Subaru questions, Your thoughts please Options

Best $$$ I’ve spent in a long while.

John and Brian from Outfront motorsports went over and beyond.

I’ll provide a thorough update soon, going to be a busy weekend.

Oscar

Which one is Brian that I've been talking with? Nice to put a face to it.

DBW, or is it converted to cable drive?

[partwerks]

Any pictures of the shifter?

Not sure if it was this one, but thought a bracket was made to mount the shifter on, and it was still able to be used with the stock console??

Brian is the young guy, John (owner) is the other guy.

Brian is the one who did most of the work on my car.

Mine is a cable Shifter, will take photos tomorrow.
Shifts smooth.

Did they turn the intake manifold 180 degrees?

The Intake was turned 180 deg before I took it.

That way no cutting was required to trunk

Good observation

I should have thought of that before I cut my car, GRRR.

Not too late...you can patch metal and get your trunk back

I’ve decided to revive this thread in case we can gain more knowledge. I am looking to do a Subie 6 conversion and interested in the EZ30R and what is involved. I know you purchased it with most of the work done, but do you have details on the build? Mainly looking for: ECU used, harness used, engine cradle, cooling system upfront. I’m in the “information gathering” phase and I love your build! Would love to know more!

Thanks!

I drove Kent's car! You will need WAY MORE TIRE! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I'm interested also.. the simple yet not obvious air filter solution is interesting. BTW, is that the stock throttle body?

And now it is mine. So i am no longer a candidate for the "That Guy" award at events for not having a running 914.

Needs some finishing touches like bumbersand rockers installed, a few lighting issues, triangle window installed, wheel alignment and some missing seals. With luck it will be road worthy by the end of June for the WCR event.

I knew I recognized that car/engine combo. That should be a beast for sure. If I am being honest, I prefer 914's closer to the ground; I don't get the "Safari" trend. Regardless, that is a whole lot of car and you should really have a blast in that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I agree. I will see how it handles as is. Much as I would like to do some off roading with it i hate to mess up the paint.

Congrats Bruce, that should be fun. I always thought a Safari version would make a great ride to take to the beach! or camping in good weather. Maybe now we can get some info on the build ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

..i dont have much on the build other than what is in the begining of this thread. It was done by the third previous owner to me. Oscar probably has some info on it.

Thanks, Kent is a friend and easier to ask him subi questions.
Runs perfectly now and hope it stays that way.

[mgarrison]

Bruce, is there anyway you can take & post some pics of the alternator bracket & belt routing? I'm not on any Social Media so I can't join Kent's group. I tried to turn my EZ36 intake around 180 degrees like that but gave up because I saw no solution to the alternator mounting! Would love to get any info I can on that solution...

Thanks,

Mike
