SubaruWagon87 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I have an 88 Justy, fwd, with the 1.2l motor and a 5 speed. I only spent $150 on it, and it's in pretty good condition, except for the minor oil leak. The guy I bought it from had a new clutch put in less than 1,500 miles ago. It started runny crappy, so I decided to park it and drive my other car. The Justy's been sitting in the orchard for about 3 weeks, and I decided I wanted to turn it into a project car. I was wondering what I should do, and I was thinking I'd try to drop a turbocharged 4 cylinder motor and/or tranny from another subaru of a similar year. I was also thinking if it wouldnt be too hard, to try and convert it into 4wd. Which, if any, turboed motors/trannys could I drop in? Is it even possible to upgrade to a 4 cylinder?

nipper Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Some people have done bizzare things to justies. i dont think that you can easily make one 4wd, but with too much cash and too much spare time anything is possible. I have seen a 4cyl justy (stock engine) with a turbo, whic would prorarly be far easier. Converting one to $Wd may be possible, but lots of luck finding parts. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodaka Rider Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Lay off the sauce, nipper! Pushbutton 4WD was an option on the Justy, and they had a 3cyl engine, not 4! Should not be too involved to convert to 4WD if you have a parts car available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
