Just wondering if anyone knows a good place in brissy to get a professional engine conversion done to my '89 brumby? Thinking of an EJ22 N/A with AWD box. Emailing Subievolution to find out prices but can't find anywhere else that seems to know what they are doing.

lol

Send a PM to BYB-01 or Suby Wan Kenobi.

Yeah someone told me to do that. I tried BYB 01 and his pm's are off I'll have to try subi wan.

You can email me at byb01ATausubaru.com

We have done stack of those conversions. Drop me a line and we will organize a time for you to come up and have a chat about what you want.

Email has been sent. Cheers

OK, I will have a look.

Hey don't worry about it BYB01 I got onto Subi Wan and its all sorted for now.

Yeah me granddad found it in a car yard out in Charleville and I got it for a great price. Apparently had been sitting with the 'for sale' sign for 4 years so I really lucked out. Shame about getting rid of the EA81 though cus it's only done 120k but hopefully someone will want to buy it off me and give it a good home.




and for the record it's not actually rusty, I called it that cus its full of bull dust and I wont vacuum it cus I love the smell.

Selling the ea81 hey? I will be very interested!

Yeah I'll stick it on the for sale section after I get the conversion so keep an eye out. Don't know how far away it'll be yet though sorry.

Yeah that's cool, pending on the price i'll def buy it

Just occurred to me, I'm a bit of a 'spirited' driver at times if you get my drift. Does that mean with the ej20 upgrade id probably screw the 4sp ea box soon or would it be able to handle it preddy well?

mines still goin with an EJ22
and im a bit of a 'Spirited' driver to.

i expect ill break it soon but LOL

5 speed is much better ull want one after driving around in the 4 speed with the EJ lol the ratios suck.

It would be a shame to waste a good EJ on a ratty old 4 speed.

just do teh full swap. that way you wont break it easily.

Yeah but I have a budget to consider. I'll probably upgrade the box later down the track.

Oh well while i'm back ontyo this old thread, does any one know how adding a ej will effect my rego/insurance? Shouldn't be too bad aye? I'll will go do some research before hand but just a rough idea of what has happened to other peoples bills would be handy.

Cheers.

Shannons wont be a problem and some others may not be concerned either. I am with Shannons and the price was only marginally more than Suncorp used to be but the car is insured for more also.

Rego won't change.
