My subaru 1302 build thread

Did you do all the prep work and body work before the paint job?
I was wondering of you thought about using MegaSquirt for your engine EFI management. Take a look if you haven't yet.

Hay Guys, I want very much to use the MegaSquirt system. I have a second type IV setup I would like to use the 1.7 intakes injection with. Although my throttle body will be from a 5.0. Saving some money on the EFI system sounds very nice. My heads are going to be totally re-worked hopefully to support a 2.7.

Sorry guys I've been super busy, I'll post some more pics, when I get home next week. I've got the brakes/susp, wiring and dash mostly done. Engine goes in next, then on to all the other small stuff.

I thought about using megasquirt but there hasn't been much success using it on subaru turbo engines. I have the Apexi Power FC which apparently works very well. I would like to megasquirt something but would rather do it on a low performance daily driver to gain more efi experience then to use it on a hi-po engine.

thanks, ojan..

I cut a bit out of the firewall to fit the turbo. The IC sits directly overtop of the engine. I shortened the decklid mounts so the intercooler would fit. Once its installed, hopefully next weekend, I'll put some pics up. The radiator is up front, there should be pics of the cooling setup when I was mocking it up in the Engines-Subaru- section.

Here is one pic, this is when it first came to my house. More is done since then but I can't access the pics right now for some reason.

Very nice!!! i can't wait to get some more $$$$ to put into my 71' 1302. Here is my project page. Just getting started. http://www.germanlook.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=9582
My 69' is a daily driver and I will be leaving that mostly stock with a 1500cc SB.

With these fenders on it makes the 245's on the back look small!

Couple more pics. Work is progressing slowly now that I'm married, weird. :lol:

Axles with Porsche 944 cv's installed, along with kafer brace. Needs bigger tires!!


Got the dash figured out, just needs a clean. Not 100% on where the cd player will go. Its secondary, though under the dash in a box or something. I wanted the interior to be simple on this car, and functional. Nothing flashy just black. Have matching rear seat cover and speaker shelf, along with black carpet and headliner.


Why is the seat in? Too sit in and make driving noises of course.
