Well its still subaru powered, but ive made the swap over to the EZ30R H6 3.0 Subaru motor Read on
Hey Guys I finally got some time and the motivation to start working on my project car again. I started it a few years ago but, got side tracked on a few other project but I have decided to come back to it and finish it. I all started 3-4 years ago when i got my first subaru wrx and decided i loved the power plant and thought what better way to add a lot of power to a light car. So i started with getting a twin turbo ej20 subaru engine from japan. I also bought the kennedy engineering adapter kit. I worked on the car for awhile, then got busy working on other project and kind of abanoned it. But no im back working on it about 5 nights a week. But lucky I did take a break from it cause i decided to make to big changes to the car( since i can afford them now. Im going to use the stock subaru trans, with a bremar 2wd kit. Im going to use big brakes all the way around, i have some big reds for the front, and im goin to do the rear also. Car is getting a full cage, and all longs and suspension pickups are going to be plated and reinforced. And i decided to swap over to the single turbo set up for simplicity of tuning, and more maximum power output. ( im eventually swaping in a built 2.5 STI engine) So i thought id start a thread to show my progress on my car, and will glady answer any questions along the way if anyone is looking to do a similar swap. Seems like the subaru conversion has gained a lot of popularity since i started my project quiet awhile ago. Started working on it about one and a half weeks ago, and so far got my interior stripped out, and gonna pick up my material for my cage next week. I got my transmission mounts fabricated, and my engine mount fabricated, and now im working on reinforcing the shock tower and such where my engine mount attaches to. Here's some picks of my progress hope you all enjoy (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-752-1269359998.1.jpg) Here the engine sitting in the car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-752-1269359999.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-752-1269360000.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-752-1269360000.4.jpg) Transmission mounts, there not done yet still gotta cap all the ends on them and powder coat them and such (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-752-1269360001.5.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-752-1269360001.6.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-752-1269360002.7.jpg)My exhasut header and big uppipe (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-752-1269360002.8.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-752-1269360004.9.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-752-1269360004.10.jpg) Engine mount ill show some pics of it installed later its out right now as im tig welding it up right now (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-752-1269360005.11.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-752-1269360005.12.jpg) My stripped out interior, getting ready to prep it to plate the longs and start my cage (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-752-1269360006.13.jpg) |
