soobenthusiast Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I was up in Colorado Springs last week and saw a street-legal Subaru diesel. Gregoire Blachon was driving it, he also owns Boxeer, a Tennessee based company that imports the EE20's and transmissions. http://boxeer.com/ I believe he used a 1995 Impreza coupe as the starting point. It had Bosch ECU running a race map. Gregoire said he had some inquiries about using the EE20 as an aircraft motor, so he was running the Pikes Peak Hill Climb on Jet A to do some r&d. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86BRATMAN Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I've been seeing updates to this build on their Facebook page. Very neat little car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 You can get your very own EE20 with complete harness to run it for around $7500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairtax4me Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 IIRC someone from that company is on here I'm pretty sure he has advertised those engines for sale in the vendor or products forum here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxleone Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I still don't understand why the US doesn't have these as standard - we have a huge amount of Subaru diesels rolling around on NZ roads. The sedan model gets something ridiculous like 6.7l/100km (35mpg) on average.. I haven't heard of any reliability issues with the EE20 either - which is always a good sign. I work as the stock controller at a car auction house so I see them and drive them quite regularly. They feel like they have a remarkable amount of torque for a two litre turbo diesel.
