well ive read: the 2.5 SB with SP 1.8 heads OB obd2 intake harness and ecu with TQ grind cams are guessed to be around 180hp im guessing your in the right area for power i wouldnt guess over 150 though

let it go man

the roof rack.. its pretty stout could use a brace in the center so the spare doesnt sink into the mesh

right...

"the frankenmotor brat" id love to see that

ill post back in around the 20th to give word on my fund status ill definitely need the ej to ea kit

what twin cam head has "high flow" and high compression?

you might have better luck here my friend SPOTTED!!

100% okay with that i run it anyways im gettin close to gettin my ol wagon back

i know quite a bit now we have one here at the shop. i know its weak points. pm me if need be but heres my quick experience 2000 kia sephia 5 speed manual everything for interior options picked ours up for $300 girl said it had a knock i bring it back to the shop and i see a hole in the plastic head cap pulled it to find it was missing a spark plug. had one handy went to put it in and it went in but only once. the girl just had the hg redone the clutch waterpump the WORKS and it "developed a knock" (which was the engine shaking and tapping the hood) so i installed a helicoil and were good as new. put short the head is SOFT be careful with the plugs. the starters act up sometimes too

ill link everything tonight ive found 3 sites and have done alot of reading im trying to get mt knowledge up to par im learning trigonometry right now. now i have to learn the subaru engines bore stroke cam valve yada yada yada all the numbers then learn how to change the numbers to make more hp.. i can read elsewhere and learn it just fine (i have teachers moms bf is a 30 year master tech) and buddies dad is a master tech at GM here in town and teaches at the college) but i like you guys and i dont know wht your doing sittin on the comp id be out there making a BEAST

thank you everyone for you input im going to try a pII 2.5 sb with the sp 1.8/2.2 heads ill post pics of all progress thanks again

alright

not everyone is about money im offering to fix it for free hes a friend. i made my reply thinking this car has some sentimental value to him. thats priceless to some people. and you cant honestly say the whole clip needs replacing youve only seen pictures. anyways i have access to a frame rack. if its not worth it don... tell me to shut up id do anything to get my subaru back. if i get hired at subaru this will be job # 3. it means that much to me (i could just buy another gl for $250 fix it and lift it for LESS but i want MY subaru back)

My typing/"grammar" skills are not gone. The reason I don't use apostrophes and capitol letters "proper written grammar" is because i never cared to add them when you or anyone else can read what I have written just fine AND it slows me down. now if you were my teacher im sure I would make things right. i like all subaru engine's but the 6's dont have that rumble. that distinct subaru sound is one reason i like subaru. i should be been more specific the "experts" are all leaning towards the 2.5 sort block i was looking at a 2.0 setup . since i havent messed with a 2.0 whats the gain/loss over a 2.5 sb?

I am serious. Don is a good guy. My shop is ready. I have all the tools you'll need and when it come down to the fine stuff like body work and paint. Matco is on speed dial. My tools are your tools don You dont HAVE to part your SUBARU out. and you damn sure dont have to pay to have it fixed. you'd be surprised how fast i have the front of the car taken off. And if someone will lend you a rig "If any of my spares were mobile, I'd lend you one to drive. Both need HGs though..." Bring it up and lets do a HG job and/or what ever else it needs. Anything to get you going again. EDIT: i have a couch, internet with desktop and laptop, a full size bed, shower, fridge, "kitchen sink" with dishes and food. its basically a studio right here on the side of the shop if you wanna come up and dont wanna drive back and fourth.

haa it sucks it has to be that way.. i wont text i wont look when people say "LOOK" i wont turn around to look in the back seat (baby) i learned this lesson a few times over. once in iraq driving a humvee on camp al taqqadum nosed it right into a "ditch" slammed so hard i swore my collar bone was fractured. im glad your okay don. i wanna say dont sell or part it. i can fix it. but im guessing your ready to move on... ill add this for the poor rig... it saved your life, you should save it. im serious bring it up to the shop, ill put it on jacks in the back corner take all the bent/broken parts off tally up a list and you can go from there....... i loved your wagon

ken is alive!

awesome thanks for the info. i hope i get this 2nd job ill be able to get things going quick

Numbchux your pretty smart my friend. thank you for your input that seriously helped and to be honest ive never looked into an EZ30D engine but im sure i wouldnt like it as much as the 4's because the subaru sound that rumble...... ill be doing lots o research on in now.. i applied at subaru today i hope i get the job

Boner- money is not an issue up to 4k and please continue to use terms as you will. i now understand why aussies and brits call us stupid americans...

for all machine work and internals? seems a little low but ill go for that.

have you thought about a double a-arm mod? it would be another easy option id help with making it work
