What made you decide on the WBX over the T-4 or Subaru powerplant?

hey. lots of reason's for me. i wanted a 170-200bhp motor, wanted a heater, wanted a turbo(jus for giggles and something to play with) and didn't wanna spend loads of money. t4 you need a fan conversion(money) and don't get a proper heater or relible cooling(jus my opinion) and subaru you need to pay out for flywheel/adaptor(money) and sump if you want it low, like me. also i think the weight would be a lot heavier and more rearward. plenty of reasons for chosing any of them thou. i'd really like a roatry turbo...................

I was planning to go the Subaru route when I found that power levels that I want could be had while 'keeping it in the family' with a WBX. I'm trying to get more info on doing-it-up!

Hey 1303R,

How does the car run now?

[1303R]

went ok for the 10mins i drove it! had to pull it back out as the gearbox is buggered. no fault of the engine. i had my girlfriend sat next to me with the innovate fuel meter telling me what was going on. was over fueling and had slipping cluth so didn't find out much. well happy with gauge, should make setting up much easier.

I can't wait to put mine together.

I'm gathering info on what modifications to make such as cam choice, valve size, cr (piston cc dish & head cc) to run, head modifications, dry sump or autostick pump etc.
