December 11, 201015 yr hi,, that looks awsome, keep the swap pics coming as you progress. i might be interested in the original RX trans, whats its condition and avalibility situation ? also any of the orig shifters and diff-loc parts you don't use. thanks
December 11, 201015 yr Author hi,, that looks awsome, keep the swap pics coming as you progress. i might be interested in the original RX trans, whats its condition and avalibility situation ? also any of the orig shifters and diff-loc parts you don't use. thanks My trans now is in great condition, shifts smooth. Only needs new shifter bushings and that's it. Last fluid change was with factory Subaru Extra-S 75-90 gear oil and the fluid that came out looked good, no chunks or shavings. It only has 142,000 on it Keep an eye out for my for sale after I get everything out of the car.Just waiting to get the harness back and I should be ready to start swapping. I'll try and take as many pics as I can along the way.
December 12, 201015 yr I've always dreamed of doing something like this to a lightweight EA body. I can't wait to see the results! Good work, man!
December 12, 201015 yr I don't see an EA series radiator on their site, is that a GC unit? Have you had a chance to fit it up in the car yet? Such a pretty up-pipe doesn't deserve a JetHot turbine housing? Lookin' forward to seeing the build. Best of luck, Jason
December 13, 201015 yr Author I don't see an EA series radiator on their site, is that a GC unit? Have you had a chance to fit it up in the car yet? Such a pretty up-pipe doesn't deserve a JetHot turbine housing? Lookin' forward to seeing the build. Best of luck, Jason The radiator is for a wrx. I'll have to notch the frame rails a bit to fit it. The turbo will be covered by a Cobb heatshield anyway LOL
December 13, 201015 yr I'm exciting to see how this swap goes for you! I too plan on doing an upgrade like this in the near future. First thing first is I need to find the vehicle to upgrade! Best of luck with the swap, it is going to be so awesome!
February 11, 201115 yr Author Took some new pics since getting the suspension done and new wheels and tires on. 2.5 RS Megan coilovers in the front, stock ea82 struts with eibach 8" x 250lb springs in the rear. 17X8 Rota Boost in Gunmetal with 215/45/17 Federal tires 5mm spacer in the rear.
February 13, 201115 yr Author Car is looking great! How did your radiator mounting turn out? Jason We are going to be starting the swap this week, so ill see how it goes. I'll post pics along the way.
