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

Stay the course gents, I'm sure it will get sorted eventually.

I would suggest that membership is set to Admin/Mod approval, and set new members to require post approval for the first couple of posts.

Merry Christmas to all.

I look forward to another great year of reading about all your Subie fun!

If yours is pre-OBD, it will have the green connectors under the steering column.

Here is the procedure for the early WRX (Forester is the same process).

With the intercooler, those two black dots in the spare wheel well are mounting points for the bracket that the space saver spare sits on. They could be a good mount point for the cooler, unless you want the cooler to move with the engine. You read my mind Bennie! I'm going to pick up from those mo...

Shortened up the pitch rod, it's just the L one cut down, and fits the WRX gearbox. https://imghostr.net/images/2018/12/08/87d90f50cb59a417ce6f901da1fa32a7.jpg Radiator hoses are often the bane of engine conversions, but I went through the Gates catalogue and found ones with the requires 32mm - 44mm...

You will have to find something to weld in as the rear cab window section.

I'd look at grafting the rear tailgate onto the C pillars, but as a non-opening panel.

Glad you are getting some success!

2.25" exhaust is way too big, you will lose all your low end torque. 2" is just fine, even with a Weber, cams and ported heads.

Seconds... Hang on a minute, I could go on for hours...

I had better watch what I say next...

Of course not- all good things take time. Especially on a clock thread!!!

LOL. I see what you did there, and I'm back for seconds...

You just need to get by the DPF issue.

It's city driving, and zero freeway driving, that kills the DPF

Nothing that a remap and a delete pipe won't sort out.

Or you can buy a reasonably inexpensive scan tool and do a force burn every now and again.

And an EA81 would be an upgrade in the L series over the EA82... bullet proof without the rubber bands to run the cams ;) An even better upgrade would be the Diesel. No rubber bands, awesome ECU remap potential, and mind-numbing torque off idle. When they come down in price, I might look at sandwic...

I'd just like to point out 11.75 years is an awful long time to wait for a reply (and one of, if not the, longest I've seen on a forum anywhere)!

I don't believe in rushing things...

FYI, the resistor value is 750 Ohm, 2W.

Hi all, finally got around to finishing the dash pinout mapping.

Original post has been modified to include completed pinouts.

I've never seen anyone use 3 factory pieces for the gearbox crossmember. Looks really neat! Cheers, I like to use as much of the factory gear as possible. Plus, powdercoat makes everything look nice. From past experience, I know that the powdercoating bill for this build will exceed the purchase pr...

You'll need the front section of your L series tailshaft shortened by about 70mm at a tailshaft specialist workshop. If you can afford it, recommend getting the uni joints all replaced with proper greasable ones. The last one I had done, they basically made me an entire brand new tailshaft and only...

I guess it's time to supercharge the EZ30R L series.

Good work once again!

The manual tail shaft front piece will be too long IIRC.

You will need a custom piece in here for sure

Thanks for the info, save me pulling the shaft out

Got a fair bit done over the last 2 weeks, the major part being the mounting cradle for the gearbox. As I have a selection of parts available, I decided to go with a modified manual front crossmember, a modified rear automatic crossmember, and the EJ centre mount. The manual front crossmember only r...

What needed to be modified on the chassis rail to fit the EJ25 turbo? I thought all EJ turbo engines fitted in the L series without any issues?? No mods required, I just had the crossmember sandblasted and powdercoated, as it looked a bit shabby. Also helps to keep it clean when the rocker covers i...
