I'm building an EJ25 into a '70 bug.
Looks like I'm the only one going non-turbo  I have a WRX, so I know what a turbo does, personally it scares the sh!t out of me to put a 227 HP motor in a 30 year old car. I figured I'll start with an EJ25, and boost it later if the hunger for more power comes along In any case, check out my website (in my sig) for details on the build up. I use the stock ECU, mostly because it is a super low budget hackjob that I am doing, guys like VWRX, Jakriz etc are an a completely different league than me  A good rule of thumb is to make a budget, and then double it. There is sooo much little stuff that you don't think about, and it will add up the $$$ quickly. I'm not trying to scare you, I actually encourage you, I've had mine running for a little bit and it was fantastic, the torque was addictive ! Rob.

Personally I like go around corners quickly, and I've noticed that (for now) 227HP is more than enough to get me into trouble  Rob.

wow, thats an awesome engine scoobytuner. I think i remember reading about it on nasioc.com. INTENSE.
anyways, ill post some info that has helped me do my swap. you can go to my site that shows my conversion that has been working great for me since i got it running, like a month or so ago at http://www.studiotuning.net/subynotch NASIOC has helped me a lil get acquainted with the motor. They have a tuning forum and some really knowledgeable users. http://www.nasioc.com theres the volks-swap forums, they are dead most of the time though http://frost.bbboy.net/vwengineconversions there the aussie vee dubbers "non-vw engines" forum that has alot of good info with quick responces most of the time. http://www.aussieveedubbers.com Outback motors has pretty good prices on the ej series parts and helpful conversion parts. http://www.outbackmotors.com Megasquirt is the cheapest EFI i know and has a ton of support Mega Squirt Manual Megasquirt forums http://www.msefi.com Shoptalkforums has a conversion forum but its dead most of the time also. http://www.shoptalkforums.com -Ryan

Hey All,
I have a line on an engine from a 2002 WRX with 144,000 km (89,000 m). It has an upgaded turbo (deadbolt tdo4 monstor port and polish and ceramic coated) and stock ecu with yoshio stage 2 tune. Timing belts have been changed ... I'm pretty sure with an upgraded turbo, this engine has seen some track time. Is there anything I should be looking out for ... and what kind of price would something like this go for ? Thanks ! Sandeep

Sounds like a lot of miles for such a new engine to me. Do you know anything about this Yoshio tune? I presume it's an import Jap engine from the description... That tune is probably making the most of their 100 octane fuel by the sounds of it so is no good for you, probably better off getting a lower mileage engine IMO...

I have a 2006 Subaru EJ25 SOHC non-turbo that I need the wiring between the engine and the ECU. The engine has it's main wiring out to the square junction on the engine. I just need between that and the ECU. Can you guys help? Any leads? Thanks!
