The ***ALL NEW*** AUSubaru.com.au Forums

Thanks a lot for the help lads. What car do you think would be ideal to snatch all the stuff i need for a ej25 conversion with most of the components i need for the AWD DR option?

Cheers Chris

Is the DOHC ej25 that much better engine than the single? If the car was to get a 3in lift and was for offroading would offroad an EJ dual range AWD with L series low range be the best option or the part time 4wd? Im assuming that the AWD would be the best option???? Maybe I'll look for a newish car...

Hi Corax, i'm sorry I can be of no help as i'm in the same boat as you. Well minus the engine at this stage. But would like to add to the question list. What exactly is required to get a ej25 complianced into a Brumby.. I'm in QLD if that helps.

Cheers Chris

My appologies to all that didn't get a mention in my last post. Anyone involved in these projects needs a pat on the back!

Keep up the good work!

Cheers Chris

I am a new member to this site and just came across this thread and read it from the start. I liked the comment of "not tradesmen to do anything with cars" or words to that effect. You two guys would make most tradesmen whimper with the sight of that car. Seeing this thread really make you proud to ...

Thanks for that mate i'll head it the when I get home.

What models came with EJ22? If i bought one and got a 5 speed Dual range at the same time (currently have a 4 speed). Would there be any additional problems than just fropping the EJ22 in? Sorry for the extra questions on the thread.

Cheers Chris

Are there any downfalls to going to EJ? Do you still have a dual range option? Sorry for the dumb question but will possibly be in a similar situation soon.

Cheers Chris.

Reg sorry for the revival but what did you pay for the power steering set up and do you know where I can find one myself? The missus will be much appreciated im on the south side of Brissy.

Cheers Chris

Thats awesome Ill give him a ring in the morning and see if I can pop in. Not sure where the confusion was with the locations. Does he have a shop or is he a back yardie?

Cheers Chris

No Brumbyrunner I didn't I thought he was in Melbourne and I'm in Brisbane.

Again thanks guys I am a serious Subaru newb but am loving them more with everything I read. It seems the possibilities are endless as far as mods go. I spoke to Jeff at crossbred today and got a quote on a 5 stud conversion and twin piston brakes allround. As far as doing it myself I would have per...

Have I considered a 5 stud conversion? I have now!!!! Tell me more as the wheel choice is starting to bug me a bit. Will doing the conversion mean I have to completely change the front disks alltogether? Ok just for a second I have decided on a 5 stud conversion. What is involved and what will it co...

I just replaced the temp sender in my 92 Brumby. My fans were kicking in but not until the guage said it was 3/4 towards boiling. A new one cost me $44 and the guage hasn't gone past half since. The temp sender looks like a large brass nut that screws into the radiator and has a single wire comming ...

Thanks steptoe, the RX L series what model are they off? Is that price for a brand new set up?

You got a reply from me within 6 months this time thanks again.

Cheers Chris

Hi all, 10 months ago I bought a 1992 Subaru Brumby. All of the signs said "no don't buy it" but I was in a tight spot and purchased it with a quite severe oil leak. Which of course disguised other problems. Since purchasing I have replaced the oil pump, water pump, temperature sender (radiator). Fr...

Thanks guys will check it out. Sorry for the late reply I had problems logging into the site and it wasnt until I went back and used the original link that I got back in.

Hi guys new to the site as I have just purchased a 1992 GL Subaru Brumby. When i bought it it had a considerable oil leak problem. After degreasing the whole engine bay i narrowed it down to the front engine seal/oil pump area. I firstly took off the oil pump and replaced the gasket and the small O-...
