then what's the problem? money? I know that's my problem...

wont cost me much money, but time is a premium. i used to have more time than money, but now im just short on both.

its all in there, i swear... now its custom bumper time, cuz thats the only thing holding the front of the car together, in front of the motor xmember.

My situation was $$$. I even had a website with a diary of a turbo XT6. It just never happened.

 

 

And Dave of ProECM has a turbocharged XT6 already. He's just quiet as kept (whatever the kept part means). :-\ I'm retarded!

so you're gonna lower it and make it a nice sleeper aren't ya:brow: Can't wait till I can get the Brat body channeled and set onto the frame:D

hey, will this be running in time for me to see it in action this Dec??

 

well, I would like to see it anyways!

 

comparing it to the EJ22 swap.. looks like that is more difficult!

 

if I do another conversion.. I would with an ea81 body (brat or something ) and use the EJ25T or EJ20T.... with the matching tranny.. and just get custom axles and driveshaft...

if I go 6 cyl, then it will be a EZ30 from an 02 or 03 H6 wagon

 

the catch is... money and time... both of wich I lack at the moment! but now I know how to do it all!!

 

cool hatch to say the least!!! I hope you get it driving soon!!!

it'll be runin for sure, and hopefully i'll finish the bumper/motormounts/skidplate assembly this weekend...

 

but it might be only 2wd

=/

So, how are things going with this monster?

That would be my choice too. It's a lot more compact then a ER27

ya but its kinda tall

and kinda pricey!

yar pricey! id like to see someone do this job for the 200bucks i spent on it. =]

 

i'll start looking at newschool engines, when they get about 15-20 years old.

I watched it lay down some stripes and a smoke screen off the tires last week

oh ya, front emergency brakes and rear wheel drive are a fun combo.

 

the only problem, the second i let out the clutch, i instantly loost traction.

im gonna put about 400lbs in the back, and put about 50 miles on tomorrow. more, very good pics to come. =]

That's it, I demand video.

whats the problem with loosing traction? that was the point of a bigger engine wasn't it? How come you can't install the front halfshafts? then you can lay lots of rubber. I secons the vids request (in quicktime if possible)

Added weight? No! Put it in 4X mode and take off like a bat out of hell.

ug, i spin the tires at low speeds, and standing still, but when shes movin down the road... the clutch slips like crazy

 

50 more hp couldnt have that much more clutch slippin action. what could it be?

Hey archemitis, I want to see your er27 project in person sometime.. Maybe that will give me some inspiration to do the swap myself!

Engine sits a little more level in the bay when Subieloving scum I share shop space with throw away the stock motor mounts and replace them with the drag race suspension stolen off my CRX:

 

 

Uh, yeah, a couple of $0.99/per hockey pucks from wongleflute's. I use them stacked over the rear shocks to prevent rearward suspension travel when at the dragstrip. Ghetto riceboy trick.

 

I think the above engine was pulled no less than five times to try different solutions to correcting engine/trans angle. Just a little trick Dave figured out, to help out anybody else trying this swap.

Awsome JD! That's the Ultimate Subaru Motor Swap :cool: You'll love it!
