yea, super cheap, that's why i asked for clarification. i'm sure some guys have bought crate engines and installed them. i guess i'll do a search to try and assess true costs.

the jdm engines are a little scary, i woulden't buy an engine that I didn't know the mileage of. there are a lot of great salvage in the us, call frank at 1-586-615-7455, i bought my engine from him and as you can tell it is pretty strong!

Dana and I got our engines from the same guy. He is very honest, delivers what he says he will. I got my 2004 WRX (4k mi) for $1500, nother $500 for the wiring harness and ECU. My suggestion would be to call the number Dana supplied in a previous post on this thread, you probably will be glad you did.

Well, assuming you get the Renegade kit, you'll also need a front mounted radiator (which also is probably necessary for the turbo Subaru engines anyway), an exhaust system and electronics. Thats about it. The electronics are probably the single most challenging part of the project, because unlike a V8 conversion, a carb isn't the way to go. You can use the stock ECU and wiring harness (which requries significant modification) or you can buy an aftermarket ECU and custom made harness, for probably somewhere in the range of $1000.

you will need the subie engine, ecu and modified wiring harness, renegade conversion kit, radiator, axles, and some custom tubing for the intercooler and up-pipe. call me (Dana) at Renegade Hybrids at 1-866-498-2421, i would be happy to walk you thru the whole thing.

the engine puts out 227 hp and 217 ftlbs of torque stock, so with the few tweeks i have done it is probably in the 250 horse range, but remember, this engine is lighter than a type 4.
and yes this is a good representation of how I drive every day.
still getting around 30 mpg, scary huh?

One more reason to make a "conversion" sub-forum, it would be nice to have all of this Suby info in one easy to find location..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)

I won't be turbo'ed so my conversion should be a little more straight forward right? I mean as far as the ECU and harness? All I can find on the motor are 3 connectors. I need some help weeding this harness out. Its a 2004 EJ25... anyone know what needs to go and stay?

I can only pray that I can get mine to sound close to that when I'm finished! SWEEEEEET! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)
