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) |

QUOTE(kylehall21 @ Jun 27 2008, 09:16 PM)  Any twin turbo parts that you want to get rid of? I got a jdm motor as well but I'm missing parts ..... Sorry no Parts, they are all long gone. I sold the whole turbo set up, the twin turbo setup is know to have an inherant dead spot when the second turbo comes in at about 3500rpm. Swap over to a single turbo, much easier for future tuning (like a larger turbo) and easier engine packaging clearance wise. Let me know if you need any parts for a single turbo system i got some stuff laying around. I have been hard at work on my car, i got the whole interior stripped out, and all the floor insulation pulled up. And i got a chassis strenghtening kit, and i punched all the holes in the pieces good thing i had a sheet metal hole puncher ( I hate drilling holes LOL). So this week im gonna soda blast the complete interior of the car to have it all nice and clean and to bare metal for when i make all the plating for the longs. And im gonna soda blast my inner fender wells and my engine compartment. Ill get some new pics up in the next day or so of my progress so far |

Well i have not given any updates lately as things have just been crazy lately, work has been very busy and i moved into a new house, but i have been working on the car off and on as i get time. I have basically all the plating made up for the interior of the car for the longs, so i just have to soda blast the interior and drill all the holes in my plating and weld everything in, then i can move on to the next part of the project.
I have made a Major decision to change the power plant Slightly on my project. Im Gonna sell the subie 4 cyl, and im gonna buy a EZ30R subie Six Cylinder. They are a 3.0 flat six, and its only 1.5" longer than the subie four, plus they have variable valve timing and variable valve lift and there 250HP stock N/A. So More Cubes, and more of that porsche sound. Oh and its still gonna be turbo charged possibly twin turbo. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif). Ill update soon with some pics, as everything has calmed down and im able to work on the car a few nights a week now. Stay tuned more to come |

Well I worked on cleaning up in the shop a little this weekend, my dad is not exactly the tidiest of workers, haha. But anyways I was able to clear enough space to get the car outside so i could soda blast the interior and part of the engine compartment. I was such a gorgeous day, almost 60 degrees and sunny. Now I can get all my boxing welded onto the rails. Ill update tomorrow with some pics.
