Good afternoon!
First of all let me start off by saying thanks for all your help. Over the past decade I have been on several different car forums and this has been by far the most supportive and accepting group. Thank you. I come from the honda wordl where we are rarely putting in engines from different makes. I grew up on Porsches watching my dad road race in his 912. This is my first porsche and I am stoked to start this project. I am a boost adtict and I am quite confindent that the ej20 it the motor I want to move forward with. I have spent the past 2 weeks searching different builds. I think the hardest choice is detirmining weather I want to use the stock trans or use the subi trans. I am hoping you all could help me sort what options I have in regards to conversion kits kennedy, renegade, ect. Vs. conversion craddles that allow for the subi 5MT. I will most likely purchase a donor car or complete engine/trans/wiring harness ect. So let take the cost of the motor out. Coversion Kit / with stock trans Renegade has their kit priced at 2000 What is the cost of Kennedy Perfomace Kit? Used conversion Kits- Are they round and what do they go for? Conversion with subi 5MT FWD conversion 100-200 Internal Dif delete -75 Craddle Options? Is cold water sill in business Does anyone else make a custom craddle for this swap? Axle Options and Cost? Shifting options and linkage? Thanks in advance. My gut is tellingme to do the full 5MT swap in the process but all the custom craddle fabrication intimidates. |

If you come from the Honda world you know Subaru engines aren't the most hearty when it comes to hot rodding. A friend "in the business" of making high performance exhausts has given up on rebuilding engines for his STi. It's cheaper to buy one out of a wreck after it grenades. That's what he does now.
I'd be inclined to do a V8 if I'm going "full bastard". After 60+ years they are pretty much bullet proof even in heightened states of tune. YMMV. Good luck! Here's an STi disaster. Done and done. New engine required. |
