Subaru conversion start

Have you done the 0-60 challenge yet?

 

no, coolant lines still to do and the all important gear linkage

 

Nice one, nearly there then!

 

And clutch lines and master cylinder bracket

Inlet sorted, I have used an enclosed cone filter so hopefully I won't get loads of induction roar. Drilled a couple of holes in the metal pipe and used rubber grommets to mount the inlet air temp sensor and the oil breathers. Pretty please with it tbh.

Awesome I just stumbled across this thread and read every post. Keep up the good work your doing an amazing job

 

Chopped up some T25 cooling pipes and melted the ends to put a flange on it so the pipes don't pop off. Think it looks ok.

Oh and I trimmed and painted the belt protector

Nice idea using T25 pipes, did they take much fettling / bending to suit?

 

No bending just chopped them in the right places and used the bends as they came

Did you use stainless steel who offered best price looking to do the same

 

No I used the plastic pipes from a t25

Back on all fours, rear suspension needs to settle a little but there's loads of room.

Mine actually sits higher at the back than it used to, no doubt a result of the Subaru engine being lighter (I think).

 

Great work Matt , love the attention to detail such as the enclosed filter to cut down the inlet roar ...

Looking forwards to seeing the build - Techenders perhaps ??

 

yes defo, should be on the road by the end of july,well thats the plan)

 

Was chatting with a friend earlier, is the sump a bit low?

He was saying fellows change the sump?

 

Mounted the reservoir for the clutch


As I have so much room and very little spare cash left, I have decided to fashion an exhaust so I don't have to pay out £600 straight away for custom one.

Using Standard manifolds and first cat so I can use the O2 sensor hole.

Welded up the output as it was pointing the wrong way.

Then I drilled a new hole, and welded on a stub of pipe, just need to get a 90 degree pipe and a back box and I will be sorted I reckon.
