subaru ej20t conversion
subawee - November 24th, 2003 at 03:51 PM

Hello everyone,
You folks have a awsome message board with alot of great knowledge and advice! I am brand to the subaru engine conversion and i have alot of questions. I bought a jdm ej20t engine off of Ebay about a month ago and I can't wait to start tinkering. I think I'm going to go with a link ecu and a adapter plate from kennedy eng. the biggest problem I'm having so far is finding a service manual here in ths U.S for the jdm motor. Anyone have any suggestions? I could have alot of simple questions explained like routing of the two small coolant lines that are comming off the filler box on top of the motor? I would imagine that one is for a owerflow tank but were does the other one go? Anyway this post is getting long especially for my first one, so I'll save my other 19999 questions for later. Thanks in advance for your help and thanks for a great web site

Hi

Im thinling about selling my car and building a wrx powered 1303, the car I have already has had a 12a group c touring car motor in it. When and if I build it I will move the motor & tranny far enough forward that I wont need to have a removable rear apron. I will move the luggage compartment floor up about a 100 mm to give me access to the motor top and and a naca duct in the rear 1/4 to let cool air into the engine.

Try smallcar performance. They are in the states although I don't know how close to Utah!

they seem to mainly deal with Vanagons, but I bet they would be a good place to start.
