I've got 500 miles on that power steering pump by-pass. Once I get 1000 miles I'll get you the info you need to by pass yours. Lets you run the factory size belt. < $60 in parts. BTW, your going to enjoy that engine. Amazingly enough it is only 1.5" longer that the 2.5 it is replacing. You've probably driven Ross' so I needn't describe the ride.

Sounds great!

I have driven Ross' sliver car. It is pretty awesome and the reason for the swap. We have got to get the subie powered group together at some point. Are you thinking RRC this year?

Probably not going to RRC this year. IIRC, it is 900+ miles from here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) So spill the beans. Will you be running the stock ECU? If so, you can bump the idle speed 50 rpm by grounding the brown wire to the power steering pump. There are a couple of more I can't remember at this moment. What are you doing for exhaust? You know you can buy the header exhaust flanges from OutFront. ~$45 ea. Are you installing AC? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I totally understand not wanting to drive that far.

My plan is to use the stock ECU. Thanks for the tip on the idle rpm. I will be building the exhaust. I already have a set of exhaust flanges. No plans for AC yet. Not sure it gets hot enough here to need it. I do need to figure out some kind of heater.

With a little help from the Denver 914 outlaw crew, the 3.0L is now installed in the car. Ok, I just made up that outlaw group but the four guys in attendance all own 914 conversions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Awesome! I've always enjoyed this build, now even more!

What are you planning to do with the 2.5 and the wiring harness? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I plan on offering it up for sale. It will be a complete setup for someone that will include the exhaust system, the engine, fuel pressure regulator, the Stinger ECU, brand new alternator, Outfront Motorsports oil pan and Alternator bracket, all the custom fabricated parts and more. It runs really good and I have a little over 2K miles on it since the conversion and about 90K total on the clock. The engine has all new head gaskets , belts and pulleys, thermostat and valve guide seals. I did flip the intake manifold and it fits very nicely in the engine bay. The only issue is it suffers from high oil consumption. I did a cylinder leak down and all four cylinders are great. My guess after spending a ton of time on the net is it needs oil control rings. When I do post it, I am going to offer it up for just what I have into it in the Outfront Motorsports parts. I am looking to get about $2600 for everything. It is an awesome deal for someone that wants to take the time to replace the oil control rings or replace the short block (a used motor at the U-PULL is less then $500 here in Denver) or just drive it and add oil as needed.

I have a ton of pictures if anyone is interested.

That's a pretty smoking deal, but a bit out of my range at the moment. Would be a great option for someone. 165 hp in these cars is night and day different than even the best /4s.

Not to pry, but what type of consumption are we talking about? 1 qt/1000 miles?

GLWTS!

Oh you are not prying, I will be totally upfront about any issues. You guessed about right. A qt per 1000 is pretty close. That's why I'm basically throwing the engine in for free along with the exhaust,new alternator, ect.

Working on the Rnellums custom throttle body flip. This allows the installation of an EZ30D without cutting into the trunk for the air filter.
