[TwinTurbo914]

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

Do you know about the suby to bus adapters from porscharu? There are some people getting together another order for them. They get a price break on ten sets or more. I have them and they are very nice. The bus is a larger diameter cv. I am going with 911 axle stubs and they are the same size as the bus cvs so it will be bus on both ends but you can use 914 on the outer by adding a thin washer type spacer from what I remember, the 914 cv is thinner. Paint fumes cloud my memory a little. I am glad you are going to a suby six, I really like the six sound better especially if it's spinning about 7k and there is all that wasted space in front of the four. Seems like I remember the 6 hangs down a lot more than the 4 though. I made a 8qt pan with parts from kennedy and used some swinging gates from a speedway sbc cheater kit for my suby 4 and it's only about 4.5 deep. I also modified the stainless header to be the same depth for the ground clearance. The six is a lot different though.
