Sonicfrog Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Man... You don't know how happy I am that you're wrenching the crap out of my old car and making it better than I had the time and money to do! That car had so much potential, and it looks like it's finally going to live up to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiwiGL Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 He needs some of the twin-cam EA82 heads. Made by a New Zealand company for the aviation industry, they gave the EA82 140 hp naturally aspirated. With those heads you could probably get 300 hp with a turbo setup! http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/131098-dohc-ea82-aviation/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferp420 Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 He has a lego doner car some.one smoked the wireng harness and computer but it.doses run realy good unless its idleing and it will.trough random codes and run like crap i istalled the motor about 3 years ago for his doughter she drove it everywere untill the neighbor desided he dident like her car idleing and did something and the harness fried the dealer got.it running like it is but the car wasent worth the dealer redoing the entire car the motor did come from the dealer he paid 300 for it rebuilt by one of there mechanics in the dealers shop it has around 30k on it now and it purs like a sowing machine at any rpm over 2k so with a new wiring harness and a new computer it would make a great doner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
