It's working now.
What a beast of a car and the engine.
What motor is that?

Looks like a Subi sump poking out underneath, and twin cam pulleys either side.

Is it an STi motor?

It's just an EJ20T out of a wrx. It will be running an air to air intercooler in the wing & the aftermarket computer is a Microtech LTX8. The radiator in the front is from a Holden Camira which is a sealed unit with 2 thermo fans on it in a sealed compartment where the spare wheel used to be. Couple more weeks & it should be on the road. Can't wait!

The initial conversation went like this, "Matt, Paul & I are going Subaru", "Yeh F&%k it, I'll do it too"............a few weeks later we had 3 subaru donks delivered to our doors.

Michael, The rear valance isn't removable at the moment but I think that it will be easier if if I do make it so. I still have all the bumber bar brackets so that I can run a rear bumper. Then I can put the cam covers on as well.

Jez, I'll have some pics soon of the radiator setup & the one piece pipes that run almost from engine to radiator.

As for the power? The LTX8 comes setup with the standard settings for the rexxy engine, 11 pounds boost & really rich , just like from the factory. I plan to run it conservatively & get used to the power, I'm quite happy to detune it for a while until I feel comfortable with it.

Funnily enough, the Porsche club are all for it, they can't wait for me to finish it! They tell me that porsche designed the wrx engine & that vw own the patent to it??? Is that really true?? makes for a god yarn anyway.

Neil, the wheels are 17 x 7.5 with a 35et offset, they fit really snugly but 17 x 7 with a 42et offset would be even better. Thats under standard guards.
Hopefully I'll have the intercooler setup finished tommorrow.

2 inches forward. Anymore than that & it's major reconstruction time, Up until a few days ago it was still my daily driver, I've had a stock engine in the rear for about 4 weeks now while I've done all the radiator setup & pipes etc, it's now off the road for the final stages. Ultimatly a full body off resto would be ideal but time constraints are a big factor as I need the car for work.

Mate I think you should be on a different forum.
Let me guess, your that guy that spends hours at a swap meet haggling for that rusty peice of 1200cc cylinder head tinware.

I'm just trying my hardest to disassociatte myself with guys like u, almost there....

Restocal,

if you had read the sticky posts at the start of this forum, you would have seen where I said
I just thought I would inform people that if they are going to come over to this section, and rip on people for their conversion ideas, I will delete or modify the contents of their post.

If you are such a wanker that you read and post in the conversion section even though you don't like conversions, then I don't see why I shouldn't take action.
Jak is in the correct sub-forum, you are not. Unfortunately my admin options allow me to ban you from nothing or everything. So for now I can't ban you from this sub-forum like I want to. But if you post another similar post here, I might just ban you from everything.

are the WRX motors secondhand or new ?

Do you need to do any mods to the internals of the gearbox?
