hey all,
Selling my Suby powered T3.

Gee Dan you like your transplants don't you? Looks sweet.

yeah, don't mind the old heart transplant Squiz.
don't know what would squeeze into a T4
it's a 2.0 litre turbo from a subaru liberty RS, about a 99/00 model.
odometer says the car has done 176ooo k's.
unsure as to age of engine.
tyres are about 2000 km old. I put them on when I changed the wheels.
brakes were done just before xmas.

post a photo of the motor I tell you

I reckon that'd be great fun as a soccer-mum mobile!!

Just for interest, due to intake path, I think engine is earlier than 99/00. How have you intercooled it?

Thanks

Nice bus hope you dont mind a few questions,
what are the fuel figures like?
How does it compare for power and drivability to a 2.1 wasser?
Do the rims clear everything and how the gearing with the rolling diameter (?) of those tyres what revs etc at 110 klms? is the rolling diameter larger or smaller as this will effect the gearing and consumption.
How well does the cooling work above the box?
Thanks Mitchell

the only economy test I've done (if you could call it that) was a 100km round trip which included 75 km of city driving, 20 km of freeway, and 5 km of showing off to my Brother. For that 100km it used 14 litres of fuel.
Power wise, it sh*ts in a 2.1 water boxer. The turbo makes a big difference.
Drive it off boost, and it drives like normal. Sink the slipper, and it takes off.
There are no clearance issues with the rims.
The rolling diameter is slightly larger. I don't have a tacho fitted, so I couldn't tell you the revs, but taller tyres cut down the rpm.
The radiator is still in the factory location at the front of the car. The intercooler is above the g'box. It probably works better there than in the engine bay of the suby, as it would be a lot cooler location.
I have thought of moving it all the way to the front of the car though.

noice very noice free nice bus with subie conversion for cheap

Dont move the intercooler!!! The shorter those pipes the better, you will loose throttle response, turbo spool, use more petrol...lag, lag and more lag. I should ask if its air or water to air..as it its water, then your talking about the radiator for the cooler, which is fine up front as long as you have at least the subaru external water pump. Get an air intake temp sensor of a vn commodore for $24 and see how effective the cooler is. Mine works a treat in stock position.

If I pull my finger out, and sell some of the crap and cars, and its not gone then I would love it. We shall see.

Good Luck...
Matt

did this sell ?

Bloody well should have!!!

nope, decided to keep it, fir the time being.

back on the market again.
just put $1000 of stereo gear in it too, and carat tail light surrounds and clear front turn signal lenses.

need to get a "family" car.
will be selling the wife's Golf 4 also.

on the lookout for a post '98 Passat Variant or A4 Avant.

just fitted a new set of KYB adjustable dampers too

Swap you for my VT berlina sedan...

pass.

back on the market again.
I need to sell it this sime, as I just bought a T4.

willing to take some $ off to keep the wheels and put it on standard or smaller rims.

Hmmm....the transmission has just gone in the Odyssey. Might be time to sweet talk my wife.

one of the radio anouncers here had me in stiches yesterday
"and for those of you awaiting the facup which is being played later tonight, oops sorry that is the F.A. cup....."
priceless
