The progect started with the plan to rebuild the 1.8 and just get it running. Then with the long list of parts and prices I decided to go a little bigger with a subaru svx 3.3.
The motor and tranny fit really well considering going from a 1.8 to a 3.3. The tranny mounts worked without any modification and with plenty of room to spare at the front of the motor. The doner cars. Had to make some room in the trunk to clear the throttle bodies and brackets. I plan on boxing it all in to house the harness and air intake. Everything is still in the early stages so I could use any and all help. |

Hey guys sorry that i havent posted any info in a while. I have been busy with work, working on my Busa and building a Tl1000r for my dad. So here are some answers for you. I got the wiring diagram from small car performance. They do the subie 3.3 in a vanagon and also have a chip for the motor that helps with stalling issues. The motor mount that i built is going to bolt to the stock points on the body. It looks a little overbuilt but the 3.3 mounts are really close to the exhaust manifolds. As for cutting so much of the trunk out, some of it has to come out to clear the throttle bodies to get the oil pan the ground clearance that i wanted. Then i am using the stock airbox and mass air flow sensor so more of the trunk needed to go. Im sure that there are other options for routing the airbox than im doing. If the car turns out the way that i want it to i plan on doing the subie tranny in the future but for now I have a couple of 901's to use.
