Engine grenaded, down for winter, might just replace headgaskets and give it to my gf, might EJ22 swap it

[dumped_es300]

ej22 swap it! with a BIG turbo!! and slam it on some wide 3 piece wheels! old subarus are awesome!

[edmandcars]

please post more progress! I'm dying to see your finished project man

[j3wman]

Okay no pics because of winter, havent had much progress so ive been messing with my CRX. However, The project is going to my GF for her daily, im gonna replace the headgaskets and pull off the turbo for reliability.

For wheels I am waiting for something to come up locally but more importantly I need some 4x140 to 4x114 adapters.

If anyone has any links to find classic japanese parts or deticated classic subaru or classic jdm forums id be happy to see them posted here.

ebay.com

Find a vendor that is in Japan, and request the parts you need.

It may be a bit pricy, but it's the only way I know of unless you know someone that lives there.

Ive been looking but stuff for these are rarer than hen's teeth.

Anyway, im about to leave to get a new front bumper for it! Pretty hyped for that, I'll post pictures when I get it.

By the time I got home it was already dark so I'll post pics tomorrow afternoon after work.

Drove out to bumfucknowhere today to pick up this. Its a bumper off a 92 Loyale, Im kind of digging the facelift idea. It should clean up well. Color matched bumpers?





Still, for the grille Im not sure, Im thinking I'm gonna make a custom fiberglass piece. Like a replica of the chargespeed grille for this or something like an R31 Skyline grille

Just replace the HG's with Fel Pro Permatorque's and then look up the radiator swap. I dropped in the larder radiator and it never messed up a Head gasket again. Also, the tick is usually caused by bad O-rings on the oil pump. The oil pump reseal kit is about $20 and it should fix it.

Now that you mentioned an R31 style grille, I think it would be sick if you somehow put an r31 or r30 front on it. This thing looks a lot like an r30/r31 wagon without the angled rear hatch.

Kinda yeah, the whole designed with a ruler thing. I'm gonna keep it all subaru though but I'm gonna take ques from other places.

Actually once I put in some 20w-50, it cleared right up. When I rebuild the engine, I'll reseal the oil pump. I also found some Delta cams and intercooler piping on ultimatesubaru.net so I plan on running those too. Where did you find a larger radiator for one of these?

So got a new job at MAPerformance so my money and resources just vastly improved. The reality of an ee20 or an ej22t just improved vastly

In the meantime here is my daily driver:






Denji Clear tails
Raceland Coilovers
Tanabe Medalion Exhaust
TCSportline Carbon fiber Hood
B&M Short Shifter
Energy Suspension Master Bushing Kit
Mugen Shift Knob
K&N Drop-in Filter

Just perfect for tooling around getting 40+ MPG and some fun autoxing
