LMFAO!!!

for that price. an ej22 or maybe ej20G is feasible if you do most of the
work or with help.

and it would be infinately more reliable!

you will likely want to confirm clutch dimension before you buy to ensure spline count to suit 5 speed box to your flywheel.

You wanna drift this, yet pay to have work done ? Where is the fun ?

Surely some engineer has calculated a power formula required to drift. Does your intended build meet that ?

alot of haters on the worked ea81. THIS WOULD BE MY FIRST EJ CONVERSION AND I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT !!!!! ILL NEED MORE HELP THEN YOU CAN POKE A STICK AT !! and most probaly will fail it...........

Chin up man, there are a large amount of conversions
done by backyarders with minimal exp that have been
very successful.
Just read read read read read.
From what I have seen, it really is not all the difficult
with the right tools and friends.

Where exactly are you located?

And I agree, the fun is in building it and enjoying
what you have made.

Cheers

Any ej gearbox with centre diff modded.
You can use your standard R160 as it does
not need to match the front as it will be RWD

Standard shaft shortened.

But Alex you need to understand that he's building it for a set task... And can't have an engine conversion on his P's.

and WRX coilovers in the front. SOUND GOOOOOOD ? any tips or hints ?

It's an R160 diff which is the same as every subaru except the newer STi's, so yes it will.

EJ22 donor would be cheap. surely one of the most popular backpacker vehicles in Aus, so always a few going cheap and needing to be sold ASAP. Why not go a 99- Libery with the Ej25 SOHC?

Liberty/WRX brakes is best done with a Crossbred conversion kit, it basically lets you bolt in the liberty/wrx suspension and brakes in.

If you're building a track/drift pig then why not go the whole hog and get a WRX halfcut with brakes/gearbox etc. I think half cuts go for around the 2-3 mark? Maybe 4 for an STI. It's almost the same effort as doing all the EJ22 gear but a heap more awesome. Obviously intercooler and hyraulic gearbox adds some complications over an EJ22.
