Well, the car is finally on the road. The motor mount that we fabricated is a nice unit. I looked at all of the others, and I did not find anything that made me feel comfortable to use. Our is a full cradle, we relocated the turbo and intercooler. Fabricated our own exhaust (ceramic coated), re-engineered the factory wiring harness and it truely kicks some major bootie. We ran a 2005 997 carrera and shamed him...bad. He could not believe it. We are finishing up the details on this kit and they will be offering it soon. Be sure to look for us at the German Auto fest. We will be there with bells on! Look for the two 914s that have "Porsche Turbo" above the rockers. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)

I considered the Subaru transplant and I think the kit price is pretty fair. I am putting a rotary engine in my car and bought the RH radiator to keep it cool (cost around $1100 if I remember right). When you add the clutch, flywheel and adapter plate to my build I would close to their kit cost.
On another note, I also just bought a 1993 RX7 and am purchasing an Apexi Power FC stand alone EMS for it. The 3rd Generation RX7 guys swear by it and I had a very knowledgeable friend who toured a bunch of the high end Japenese tuner shops in Japan who also swear by it (and Motec of course). The nice thing about the Power FC is that it plugs into the stock wiring harness and there is very little cutting to do. I just noticed that the Power FC comes for a WRX: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...&category=33596 Perhaps those of you who are using the stock wiring harness and are thinking of getting a stock ECU might want to consider this option if you want to go to a stand alone EMS. What do you think? |
