hi everyone. several years ago i built myself a jdm ej20k subaru powered 914. unfortunately i did not document my progress. because it already had an aftermarket body kit installed i had no ethical reasons not to install a different motor. i am using a diy megasquirt ecu with the stock cam and crank sensors to control the motor. to say that i learned a thing or two along the way would be an understatement. thanks to everyone who has done a subaru conversion before me. your posts have inspired me and helped in numerous decision making situations. here are a couple of pics.

Very nice! Looks like you have water injection as well. Lets see your radiator setup!

thanks, no water injection. running a conservative 13-15 lb of boost. stock it is a 250hp motor. right now it is more than fast enough. here is an older picture of my radiator setup. not much has changed except a different overflow tank. it is a cx racing 3 core. i decided to vent out the bottom instead of the wheel wells. cold air comes in through the foglight holes and the additional cutout below the front bumper. i am running two 12" electric fans.
