Chris W. Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Thanks, I can use some of this info if I ever get around to installing a WRX engine into a Porsche 914. That would be sweet!!! Way back in 1979, I got to drive a 914 with a Chevy 327 shoehorned in the middle of it That car was a dream, big wheels, fender flairs, and a wing! Oh yeah, it scooted rith along! Cheers, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s'ko Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Here's a good company that I found that supplies foam boards. Projects like the Doran and Tri-magnum use fiberglassed foam for their bodies http://www.fiberglasssupply.com BW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keltikrewser Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 stumble upon this company while flipping through Hot VW's. looks like they deal mostly with sand rails, but the sell lots of fun engine stuff:clap: they sell turnkey motors ranging from 300-600hp. they don't list a price for the 600hp motor, but the 500hp version will run you $16 grand http://www.outbackmotors.com/index.htm thinkin' between 400-500hp would be fun in my bug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank B Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Years ago, when the USMB was young, there was an aviation website that offered subaru EA81/82 flanges to make your own intake and exhaust manifolds. Does anyone know who that was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikedbeetle Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Years ago, when the USMB was young, there was an aviation website that offered subaru EA81/82 flanges to make your own intake and exhaust manifolds. Does anyone know who that was? I wish I would have known this were possible. I had to make my intake flanges by hand using a dremmel tool and hack saw. about 7-8 hours of work. I got my exhaust flanges from coneeng.com You can get collecters and bends there as well. That's where I got all my parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82ea81 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 A bit further away, a company in New Zealand called SUB4 modifies EA81s (and probably other subaru engines) for Aero use. Their modified EA81 features a high compression cylinder head with twin ports for both intake and exhaust, twin spark per cylinder and a bunch of other goodies. I'm not sure on the prices, but when the Kiwi dollar weakens (which it unfortunately inevitabley will) it could possibly be an option for you US guys. http://www.autoflight.co.nz/dominator/features.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi subbie Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) From every thing I could find SUB4 is long gone out of business. When there website was running I tryed to email them about a set of heads they never replyed. There site is not working and most links apart from that one above do not work any more. Even I think backinbrat got the last of the SUB4 Heads? Edited January 21, 2010 by kiwi subbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickstock Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 im lookign into sub4 cause they used to be big in england, possible it was another company but somone has a big supply of duel port and (i think) duel cam heads.... also a mod in NZ making EA82 duel cam, duel carb heads. wouldnt mind getting a set for my road car but you need to put water channels in them first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upDUHcreek Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) These guys recently changed from a honda powerplant, to a soobie powerplant. This can go places no other soobie can go, and the many owners in Alaska love it for it's durability, and it's ability to go places nothing else can get to. The best part is the price, a new soob for under $4k, but you probablly won't be driving it to work, unless there's a HUGE flood...yes, it's a boat. Here it is, the Mokai Jet Kayak, check it out. http://mokai.com/index.html Here's a short video showing it's abilities to go where no other boat can go, even through the back window of your truck if your not carefull. There is a little cursing in this video, drunk redknecks tend to have colorfull language. After searching the forum to see if these have ever been mentioned, I thought you guys might like to know you can have a subaru powered boat that can take you to the only places your current subaru can't go, to the middle of the lake. These are praised as a simple, practical, go anywhere ATV for the water by their owners. Sounds a lot like how many of you describe your soobies. Hope you like it.
