I've seen several sti motors on UK ebay in the last few months all go for around the £2k mark. To make a scooby / type one cost comparison fair, you'd need to compare to the cost of maybe an EJ20T or similar - many of these go for under £1k. I like the idea of a Porsche box because of the 5 speed, and I also feel they would stand up to the duty cycle better tyhan a built type one? I welcome any and all your feed back and comments? |

Stock engine stock turbo stock management system (with wiring modified to suit VW) and DO NOT turn up the boost Stock exhaust (as far as practical) DO NOT allow yourself to be talked into/sold super-hottie turbos and aftermarket management systems and all the rice-racer ********e. It all increases cost and complexity for no real gain on the street. The factory 160kW (220hp) is more than enough to make you grin Oh, and you better get to know a gearbox mechanic...

Exactly, and whos to say you cant do all that down the line later?
The biggest problem ive ran into with projects is that i try to accomplish too much at one time and get stuck on details. You wont get anything done this way because theres always something that can be done at the same time and is holding you up from doing the next step. -Ryan

I have a question about my Subaru crank pully. I have my EDIS 36-1 tooth wheel on it. I believe the missing tooth goes on the TDC. I can't find the EDIS page right this second.
Where is TDC on a Subaru pully? I'm going to mount the sensor with adjustment, it won't have to be 100% perfect. I just need in the ball park. I can't take any pics. My camera isn't working very well these days. Thanks,

the old screwdriver down the sparkplug hole on #1 always works. Im pretty sure theres a notch in the pully that lines up with one of the degree marks on the plastic timing belt cover, do the sparkplug hole trick and see where it lines up.

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!

Ha, checked out germanlook so many times but never thought of looking at the forum. Great to see all these suby conversions together. I'm working on a 1302 with 901 gearbox which will get an EJ20 with TD-05 turbo. It's an EJ20BUG engine so it was made to go in a bug I'm hoping to get something of 300hp and it'll be running on a megasquirt system. Well, the photo tells a lot at which point of the build i am now.... I'm waiting on my new gasketset en still not sure on which adapter set to use/buy. I'm thinking of putting the turbo on the front of the engine, somewhere close to the pulley (kind of where the type 1 has its muffler) I've seen it done on sandrails and also impreza's but can't oversee the pro's and con's. Any opinions about that kind of setup?

you will have a hard time with the decklid if you move the turbo there.

What is the average cost of a full subaru conversion for the VW? Turbo and non-turbo. We're talking basic engine putting out about 200Hp. I'm curious.

I think I'm just going to suck it up and get the ECM and wiring from outfront motorsports. Keep it simple. It's expensive but I want to get it in and use it without the headaches.

Very good advice. I'm going to try to run mine with the stock ECU but I'm not sure how it will react to a different exhaust and intercooler. An ECU upgrade will come down the track after the car is running. Steve

Advice from Experience?
Quote:
I'm surprised the owner isn't bald from tearing his hair out. Eventually the owner had an aftermarket ecu installed, tuned (240hp@ the wheels on only 13 pounds boost) & has been running since. Incidently it's the same aftermarket ecu that I'm using http://www.microtech-efi.com/ mine was installed in October 2004, it spent a whole 2 hours on the dyno & hasn't been touched since. 89'000klms (55'300mls) later & it's still going. Daily driven & flogged on the track, over 200hp @ the wheels on only 8 pounds boost, 38+ mpg. Did I just get lucky with an aftermarket ECU? |
