Here it is finally done!! One 1998 Subaru Ej25 Naturatally aspirated($1300) in my 914. Stock Trans mounts. Stock shift bar. Stock engine front bar location mounts.(utilizing Small Car Performance Mounts for the Vanagon)($120) Kenedy Adaptor plate with Stage 2 clutch.($500) New head gaskets, Fresh machined heads (due to head gasket leak from used engine, now perfect!) Fits perfect, idles nice, Link ECU Programmable Computer Stand Alone G3 Version($1200). Renegade Radiator($995) up front (works very nice). For only 175hp this baby is fast! & much needed these days...32 mpg highway!! (I have two programs, one for 89 unleaded(economy) and one for 92-93 premium(performance 24 mpg))

Custom EASY to Make Front Engine Bar that bolts to Small Car Performance mounts. (this is when i was pulling the heads off to have them resurfaced for new head gaskets. and new timing belt of course.

This is a nice clean picture of how to make the bar. ( Oh one bolt is missing on top right of center (didnt replace it yet)

I ended up modifying the Small Car Performance mount on the Drivers side. I flipped the mounting bolt location to the inside (not pictured in this picture) so i could put a brand new AMERICAN version of the water pump on. It exited out the front which is perfect, but the bolts were in the way, so once flipped. It worked perfectly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

the reason for the no 180 degree rotation on manifold is that AC is eventually going in and if i rotated it the compressor wont fit. Videos soon! i drove it to thanksgiving about 40 miles from my house....ran at 172 degrees whole way 80 mph.
weight not known yet. I'll get that done when i get it dynoed next week. it is just wideband o2 sensor tuned.

I have dual O2 sensors, the Link G3 stand alone computer is compatable with duals also.

I am now offering this EJ25 NON-turbo conversion as a complete kit for $6500. This includes the engine complete setup with intake, engine cradle, engine bar, stage 2 stock clutch, pressure plate,transmission adaptor plate for engineto bolt to the stock transmission, custom flywheel to accept stock stage 2 clutch , Custom modified intake throttle body, Custom shortened oil pan, Link Computer (pre- programmed for the ej25 so it will start right up. Already wired to the engine harness. (plug in adaptor))

My system bolts right in, NO modifications neccesary to the body whatsoever. Fits in the engine compartment with no cutting of anything. Mounts lower than the Renegade system, but once again. NON-turbo ONLY.

Nice as for a kit, if you could manage to do put the radiator in the engine bay and save losing the front truck I would be interested. It would be rather nice to have a bolt in engine so that if you did want to go back it wouldn't take much more than an engine drop.
