I know Fiid was doing one of these, anyone else in progress or complete?
After doing the contortionist trick of adjusting valves with the exhausts in place a couple of times, I'm in the middle of pulling the HEs off my 1.7 to replace a pair of exhaust studs, and reminding myself how much easier the job would be if the exhausts were off, but thanks to the stock heater system how big a hassle that is. I hate exhaust studs pulling out (No. 3 cylinder, as usual). And all this trouble for only 80hp. 140hp or so from a water-cooled engine with hydraulic lifters (or 20K mile valve adjustment intervals) is starting to sound pretty good right now. If it were any easier to run water lines, I'd be all over this already. |

hey Duane, Personally a motor like that i wouldnt even think of putting in my Subie, let alone a 914. Prob is it is a jdm motor. You do not want to go with anything jdm for this type of application unless you know what you are working with and know where or how to tune these motors. My motor in my subie is from a usdm wrx, but i have a TEC3 controlling it that i tune myself. Most ppl will just put a wrx motor and splice the 2 harnesses together. If you do go jdm or for that matter any motor, make sure you are getting a complete motor, with motor harness and ecu if possible. Most of the time the jdm stuff comes with no ecu and no intercooler if it is turbo. Sometimes even the turbos are missing. They will often just cut the wiring harness which then leaves you with nothing to work with. if you are looking for some motors, check out www.nasioc.com that is the worlds largest subaru group. So many ppl are doin swaps right now. N/A to turbo and even the turbo guys are swappin out those motors to goto the jdm TypeRA motors. There are plenty out there. Just gotta find the right one. -good luck |
