and yes this is 100% happening

[saleaf]

uh huh... id like to see where this goes....

[Fries]

Why though?

Because the Ej is so impossible to make power and cause it's so hard to make RWD?
/sarcasm

[Sleepy_Steve]

Because the timing belt / chains / whatever it has are a total pain in the ass, and so is having two head gaskets?

Seems interesting, don't really care about the why.. it should entertain me at the very least.

-ej's have a timing belt
-mainly because it hasnt been done.. how many 240's do you see at drift events?
-ej's are expensive to build and repair.. especially when you dont have one laying around to fix or install.. but have 2 spare sr's laying around

[illvialuver]

good for you.

[Martino]

I loike. Cute little SR, she's a keeper.

[TheRealSy90]

Hopefully this one comes out like that 2.5rs swap that actually looks promising.

[AGNT84]

this looks to be interesting.....props on the idea..

bunch of negative nancies in here. remember when people thought swaps and custom fabrication were cool?

thanks guys. yea im excited at the idea of it actually working


How long before the R160 grenades??
i think the bet is under 48 hours.. after initial start up and test runs to check everything im pretty sure we are going to find out an hour afterwards if itll handle it.

ha thanks. technically it isnt my build..its my shell legally right now (until his tax return comes in) and his motor.. im just a good buddy who likes to turn wrenches

something new... like that SR powered S2K build... though idk what happened to it.

Now there's some shit you rarely see on Drift days at the track. Way more original.

[cardoza]

After reading that title I wasn't entirely sure what would be in this thread... Glad it's a motor swap. I'm with the majority that are excited to see it, I think you're the second 'buru in OT that's doing an SR swap!

You're right, that subie isn't obscure enough. How's this guy gonna act like he's a car hipster with such a mainstream engine and chassis

nah im not a fan of those. every time i see one i immediately picture it sitting in a yard next to a barn broke down as fuck

ive looked for the other thread, but my search skills obviously arent that great. id love to see what he did with alot of things

OP, I'm loving your friend's build and your sig. Yao Ming dumb bitch face = :bigok:

edit: howyfeltersnatch? I 'ardly knew 'er!

[DataXUnknown]

Is this supposed to be a build thread or what? I check back on this thread to see if anything new pops up and nothing.

I wanna say this is lock worthy because really, what the fuck are we discussing? How cool it is to put a SR in a WRX? Or what?

I say, when you are DONE with your engine swap and such, then show us how it all went down with pictures and videos. This thread is pointless with nothing to show.

damn i didnt know we were building a car on your schedule.

20+ hours over the weekend....pulling a motor, moving shells in and out of the garage, putting the motor in, realizing it wont sit back enough due to the pitch stop mount and pulling it back out, taking care of said pitch stop mount, getting motor back in, realizing the front axles were getting caught up so motor back out..

(**FYI this is where the shit hit the fan.. youd think 3 dudes with a good general backround of cars could get a wrx axel out in under 30 minutes....... no no chance in hell. we spent atleast 5 hours trying to figure out why the hell it wasnt coming out. all it is.. is an axel nut holding it in the knuckle. whacking at it with a hammer for about 5 minutes each didnt budge it. couple turns with the air hammer did nada. thankfully i got the bright ideal to use a flywheel puller, pull the caliper and rotor off and attatch the 3 arms to the back of the hub. about 30 minutes later and a 2ft breaker bar it popped out.)

and then putting motor back in seeing where it was hitting and sitting. then contemplating what should be done and whats the best way to go about it. ofcourse argueing whos idea was better and trying to explain what you meant every 5 mintues probably wasted a good bit of an hour.. is too slow and or not enough for you.

things are getting done. sorry were not working as fast as youd like.

[theicecreamdan]

You know what helped make stuff more affordable for me? Not having useless things (like two extra sr20s) laying around.

Should be a good time though, and this is still sorta cool.

i would also like to see someone put an engine inside of an engine. somebody do this.

not really useless when you aquire a whole full other sr swap for $300... i bought the wrx back in 06. popped the motor in 08 and its been sitting in my garage motorless since.. i gave up on the wrx and bought a RHD s13 back in august. and am now selling my wrx shell (for$2500) to my good friend who also has a wrx and an s14. taking the motor out of his s14 and putting it into my old shell.. then trading the s14 rolling chassis for a crazy custom paintjob for the sr'd wrx. confusing i know.

so nothing is really going to waste..

but speaking of an update. tyler is looking into possible sponsorship from a guy in washington who makes custom F+R subframes. he supposivly made one to house a supra rear in his wrx. thats in the works. also ideas of altering the stock subaru knuckles to accept nissan axles with custom bearings are being looked into. so alot of research is being done right now so we dont make the same mistakes others have made and get hung up any longer.

No see you don't understand, I believe (as well as I'm sure many others) that you should have waited to make such thread. This goes along with (not saying you are) those noob build threads that put like "Just put coilovers on my car, stay tuned for my insanely awesome build". You need to have more stuff, you can't just put "Stay tuned I'm putting an SR in my WRX".

I understand it would take some time, many problems will arise and all that, I'm not rushing you, just do some work first and have something to show for your thread. Not just "Hay look an SR and a WRX". Cool story bro

[h2v7]

the subie will not "sound" right!!!

i wish i could get my 240 to sound like a subie i love that burrrrrr

[Pure_JDM]

I'd rather the EJ in an s-chassis. Amazing how two potentially potent vehicles are only cool when each has each other's motor in em... I swear people are swapping shit because they're bored now. And I agree, you should have more content before starting a build thread, but regardless, should be pretty cool when you're done.

[BustedS13]

unplug an injector.

[Imarvin240]

if it wasnt that expensive to build an ej, i would probably try it...i just think its to much fab work for me to try and do myself hah

[h2v7]

unplug an injector.


want it to sound like a real subie !!!

[xpertsnowcarver]

Thread title makes me think of the Richard Gere and the Gerbil nonsense. Hahaha

This thread is pretty lame. I agree with DataX. I want to see the aftermath and how awesome it turned out first, then see how you got there. There are too many threads with people starting something that has yet to be completed.

then either dont come in here every day (check back once a month if you wanna be blown away with updates) or close the thread i dgaf
and fyi i appreciate all the positive feedback.. its just that
noone is holding a gun to your heads and telling you all to come in here and look at my sub-par build thread skills..

moral of the story- troll somewhere else on a daily basis

[no slide]

i wish i could get my 240 to sound like a subie i love that burrrrrr

The only reasons subies sound like that is because of the unequal length headers. Has nothing to do with the flat 4. I had equal length headers and a twinscroll on my Sti and it sounded more evo-ish. It sounded way more badass like that IMO

[anarchyperf]

I started a thread on this without knowing this one already existed

Here is the thread I will be updating (http://zilvia.net/f/off-topic-chat/370656-anarchy-performance-sr20det-bug-eye-wrx-build.html)

[howyfeltersnatch]

there you go d**** go troll that one

[Gizmo_S13]

This thread looks very promising. Good luck on build OP!!!
