It's not coming up.

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

Jak

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

Is it an STi motor?

Steve

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!

Jak , what is the off set on the front wheels please , seagull

hi!

nice!

welcome!

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.

Jak

how far forward did you end up going in the super?

thank you

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.

Jak

so I had better get the fuel pot over in the next week .

Do u mean a fuel surge tank Neil? I ended up buying one as I didn't know if u made them too. Matt said that the swirl pots arrived though?
regards
Jak

hey jak

ya got it in there quick! we hav a while before the next porsche club track day! ya still gonna track it?

alex

cool Jak I think there must be some more room in the supers i can't wait to see it. I think will all the Suby powered bugs in progress we should organise a get together in a couple of years where we can compare notes,

looking good Jak.........................don't approve !!:repuke............but at least you are doing what you want ..........and you are having fun

So when will it hit the track?

I only sent one fuel pot to Matt as my bead blaster was on loan to a mate for a job .I can make just about any thing .If you need one like I made Matt just drop me a line , neil

Restocal,

if you had read the sticky posts at the start of this forum, you would have seen where I said

are the WRX motors secondhand or new ?

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

Hi Jak

Looking good. Wish I was as advanced as you.

Steve
