Tony,

This has been a most impressive progress thread.

Thanks for all the pics too. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Keep up the great work.

This one leads to-
"The 2004 STi FSM has been removed due to the amount of traffic and
the limited bandwidth. This manual can be found elsewhere on the net."

Just FYI,

But the first link is a gold mine! Thanks!

A couple people were asking me for dimensions of the engine support bar I made.

A word of caution. These dimensions are from a bar which doesn't quite fit exactly. Now it may be that the dimensions are fine, but I have a 1/2 inch gap on the passenger side fo the car, which I have to fix. Its probably jsut a amtter of getting the angles correct.

Angles between all pieces are 15 degrees.

This bar was made with 1.5 inch square steel tubing.
Plates are welded to the bottom edge for the actual engine mounts. I used 1/2 inch thick steel for those.

In another therad I talked about the idea of putting a flat bottom on the subaru conversion car and a diffusor at the back. This is not for sticking to the ground, but rather to create low pressure beneath the car for assisting in pulling air through the radiator at high speed.


Here are a couple drawings of what it might look like. Oh, I am also having my eshaust exit through holes in the bumper and a grated area around the license plate to exit the hot air beneath the trunk.

Tony, i find that diffuser idea pretty interesting, but from what i understand, you'll be getting the air to flow through the rad, and down under the car, right?

Do you have any sketches of what the diffuser will look like under the car, a bottom view that is?

Good luck on your converion, it's looking real good (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

I got some major stuff accomplished this weekend. Friday evening after work I drove up to Los Osos and spent the weekend at Bondo's place. I managed to get my oil pan modified! Bondo did 99% of the welding using his really nice Miller Mig welder. All the time though he kept saynig "Man I wish I had a tig."

The pan still needs a clean up and then powdercoating, which I should be able to get to this week. One thing remains to be done, and that is the shortening of the oil pickup tube. Without the engine, I couldn't determine a good length for the tube, so I'll have to do that locally.

The welds look solid, but if there are any little pinholes, the powdercoating (inside and out) should take care of it. I'm planning on putting it on fairly thick, so it should make a good seal, nto to mention look halfway decent.

The extra volume might not quite bring it up to OEM capacity, but I'm sure its darn close.

As if doing the oilpan wasn't enough, I also worked on the cable shifter setup. When I removed the shifter from an MR2, it came bolted to this stamped piece of metal that was probalby completely useable, especially for something which will eventually be hidden. So I replaced it with a 3/8 inch thick aluminum plate that I machined. Once I figure out how I'm going to mount it in the car, I will hog out more of the material to lighten it. The bracket on the rear (left hand side) will be the mounting point for the cables.

The third machined piece, on the right side is the lever that will replace the stock arm on the transmission. This is the arm that the linkage connects to normally. I am going to drill a bunch of holes in it for fine adjustability. This will allow me virtually any throw ratio on the shifter, from long to short.

Lastly... Bondo gave me this cool red pushbutton switch. I'm planning on using this as my "all circuits on" switch. I'll have another pushbutton for the starter, but this will replace the first click on the ignition switch that turns on the main power to the car.

Tony,

Looks good! But I would think about having the tank pressure tested and sealed. It doesnt cost too much and its really the right thing to do so you wont have any oil leaks from the tank IMO.

If you give me a place to upload, I have a 2002 FSM. I paid Subaru for a 24hr block of window to view
there pdf files. I spent all night/day down loading them. The downside is I just sorted them
by directories (engine, suspensions, etc..) Then there is like 50 files in each directory.
