You don't need a new drive shaft technically. You do however have to get it lengthened, not sure of the exact amount though, a lot of people, myself included like having the one peice drive shaft to bypass the carrier bearing and it's one less u joint to replace later on down the road

One mans unfinished project is another's base Brian. If the first person to do a 2.2 swap had listened to the negatives we would not have as sweet of cars as we do, same goes for lifting our little Roos, it just takes time and patience.
Go for it and don't get frustrated when it gets hard ( which it definitely will ) that gl is gonna be a sweet base though

That's hilarious

Any chance you would wanna sell me that scoop?

That's quite an American theamed car sir

Actually good news... Well kind of. I'm not sure what I was looking at but the nut is still on there, the bolt however is still totally stuck, my just off centered hole that I drilled out hasn't helped the matter either. For the time being I just bolted everything I could up so I can roll it out of my garage.
That's where I'm at for now

So long story short, one of my drivers side torsion bar bolts sheared off leaving about an inch and a half in the car, tried extracting it with absolutely no luck, ended up popping the weld on the bolt to the frame. So uhh I have absolutely no idea what to do, super broke right now and am now left with no car.

I'm having trouble uploading my picture. As soon as I figure out what the problem is I'll upload my picture and begin to take more detailed pictures.
You have to use a secondary photo sharing website like photobucket

Any and everything

It makes more sense for this to be in retrofitting since more people go here for swap help.
Again all credit for these diagrams go to scooner
Hi everyone, I am just about to finish my swap thanks to Scooner, who sent me some amazing wiring diagrams that I thought I should share with everyone else( don't worry I asked him before I posted this)
I studied these along side the numbchux write up, which is an amazing write up, but is just missing a couple vital peices of information which I beleive these address
anyway without further adue

I'm not seeing anything.
Yeah my stupid phone posted it before I could paste the pictures into my post, should be there now though

Okay just realized the original is a sohc and the new engine is a dohc, is this still possible???
-
But it will plug and play? Just a little bit if sprocket juggling?
-
Little bit of a trudge from the grave but, my friend ended up buying this, told her I would change the timing belt, be cause it seriously needed it, as soon as she bought a kit. Anyway long story short engine is toast now and am about to throw another engine in,
My question is, will a 2000 ej25d from a legacy for directly into this, in almost 100% positive I just wanted to check in with the subaru masters before she drops 400 on a new engine

DO IT!!!! I would love to see a V8 in a 3rd gen, make sure to keep us posted.

Congrats that's awesome, also

the body of scientific knowledge has proven time and again that it can be wrong, and wrong by a long shot in some cases. simply being Science with a capital S doesn't give it any more credit than any other label or name. there are new discoveries every hour that contradict what has been established. sometimes it gets proven, most times its shown false, and many times its just considered "interesting" but not definable. being over aggressive and closed minded, even about something as grounded as the laws of thermodynamics, is a terrible attitude. nobody on this post has stated that they are buying anything, or shown any adds for complex systems that cost thousands, or anything else that you keep mentioning while your insulting the people who are exploring an idea. we are all participating in a debate and experimentation, while not in a lab since we don't have one available, which is exactly what "science" is. If i had a full lab id show you numbers when I build one, but I can't in most cases. neither could most of the geniuses that built the modern beliefs of science when they first had the idea that changed the world.
the law of thermodynamics is quoted a lot in any of these discussions, but were not talking about an isolated system where were simply measuring energy output. the power that is supplied from the alternator is for lack of a better word a waste energy. the fuel is used to create kinetic energy (sorry if I am misusing that term, idk the actual definition) which spins the crank and pumps the bellows. most of the energy created when that happens is used to push the car and a small amount is used to create the electricity for the system. that electrical output is variable without significantly changing the power or the mileage of the vehicle. Alternators can push 50 amps, 100 amps, 200 amps, without a large change to the system other than wiring or the loss from running tandems. Not saying its free electricity, but you cant just use the raw electrolysis numbers, you have to weigh the cost of the electricity against the final output of the motor not the fuel, since that is what produces the electricity.
from a non scientific logical outlook this is what I see as evidence for the possibility.
1) Hydrogen has at least as much potential energy as gasoline. many times more depending on what your reading, but I think we can agree that hydrogen "can" add energy to the combustion of the engine.
2) you are replacing a portion of the intake charge of gasoline with something else. whether its cow farts or Mtn Dew there is less space for gas and atmospheric air so you will 100% reliably use less gasoline per cycle of the cylinder since it cant fit.
3) as long as what you add to the combustion chamber can react like gasoline and produce similar power to it, then you will at least get added mileage equal to the reduction in space for the gasoline. the cost of the second fuel must now be evaluated as well to properly tell if its a gain.
the cost of the hydrogen is a huge consideration, I'm not saying it isn't. theres also the point I mentioned before about using needed life materials for fuel. I dont think this could be some self contained system that will run itself for free, energy just doesn't work like that. but I do believe in the possibility that you can take a small to negligible loss to the power of the car due to added electrical production and gain money from using less gasoline. the system needs to be evaluated as a whole though.
I think a lot of the terminology doesn't translate well. in reality your not getting any more efficiency out of a motor running dual fuels, you just aren't measuring the second fuel so you see high numbers on the other. that said the gasoline fuel is the only one that has a significant money value to most of us so as long as your water is cheap and available its the one we value more. it is also true that the extra draw on the electrical system will reduce power to a degree. but nobody has come up with any dyno numbers or anything to measure actual power loss compared to mileage gains. The butt dyno says its not much, but until you actually get some measurements its a guess at best.
the current HHo craze is admittedly a frankenstein application, and its completely fine to doubt it from an efficiency standpoint. there are no good test numbers, no good flow rate equipment used on most of the motors, and many other gaps that would add precision to the system. Its important to remember though that people have a very specific use for this, which is high gasoline mileage (not fuel mileage, people don't actually measure or care how much actual fuel they use, as long as the gasoline portion is less). I for one am not saying its the best fuel, most efficient fuel, most efficient process, or that it produces more power. the only claim I make is that I see potential for added gasoline mileage for little cost to the car and dollars (if I build my own).
An extremely solid and respectful response sir. I don't understand how this has turned into a fire fight. I would also like to apologize for my prior comment, I had read the comments before mine wrong and got it in my head that people were saying hydrogen couldn't power a car.

- First law of thermodynamics – Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only change forms. In any process, the total energy of the universe remains the same. For a
thermodynamic cycle the net heat supplied to the system equals the net work done by the system.
- Second law of thermodynamics – The entropy of an isolated system not in equilibrium will tend to increase over time, approaching a maximum value at equilibrium.
- Third law of thermodynamics – As temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a system approaches a constant minimum.
With this theory putting off road lights on your car destroys your fuel economy.
Last time I checked, it does no such thing. Please explain to me how using unused electricity does not create hydrogen that I can pump into my carb causing less fuel consumption

I know where there is a set, i'm gonna try and buy them for the brat!
Damn you/ let me know if you can find another set
-
I would also like to point out that in no way am I saying that I can run a car off of this setup, I use mine as an additive for better fuel economy, hydrogen can power a car, it's been proven time and time again and if you can't accept that then you don't know anything about science.

Like I said, build one, put it on your car, and prove me wrong. Until then I will enjoy my 40 mpg with my foot stomped

If you don't believe it, don't believe it, I know it works from my tracked experience but can understand all of your disbelief. The websites above will teach you how to build one, it takes a day, some tinkering and about 50 bucks, I highly recommend that videos build aswell as the website's build.
If you haven't tried it though, don't knock it, if you research even a little bit you will find out that it is litterally impossible to not get some kind of added horse power and mpg from this
Just a heads-up, user SkankinPickle has swindled me out of a purchased part.
