You can just swap the loom over in that case, it's fairly straightforward, just use everything from the halfcut.
Doug at STechnic can help you with this if you can't handle it yourself.

The car was converted to turbo using a wrecked GX/RS sedan that had the front mount on it. We(AM Auto) did the swap to the already lifted wagon.
It's a decent car and is worth that much IMO.
The stickers are to do with the owners canine security business.

The box is 03SG forester gears inside a 99SF case with scorpion low range gears. The SG case suffered some damage from a circlip failure so I replaced the case. The SG gearing is spot on for the H6 for road use, maybe a little high geared for offroad though but Scott can be the judge of that. Clutch...

EZ30R Off Road Forester.

Recently finished this conversion on an offroad oriented SF Foz. We'd previously converted it from 2.0l auto to 2.5l manual and it was used and abused for a couple of years until the radiator split and the engine was destroyed. The owner was keen for a H6 conversion. We originally ordered an EZ30D h...

If you are running premium unleaded then switch back to normal unleaded next tank and see how that goes. Gen 3 Ej25 do not start well on premium due to flash point differences in the fuel or something. You gain nothing with premium anyway, they are slugs and are meant to be that way.

I've done an EZ30 conversion with STi manual to my 97 Liberty wagon and also one into a manual Kombi plus assisted a few guys doing there Outback H6 manual conversions. It's a bolt in affair mechanically, no problems. Any EJ box will fit, 4 bolt, 8 bolt, whatever. You need a TT gearbox crossmember t...

The ecu is a Vipec V88 wire in. There is no factory ecu at all. The Vipec controls everything, AVCS, variable lift, the lot. It is the top model ecu and is basically a rebadged Link G4 extreem but with Australian support. They are $2500 retail. It would work with an Auto but the auto ecu would have ...

The variable lift is controlled by one of the auxillary outs on the ecu. It's just a simple changeover solenoid. I suggested the changeover be moved down in the rpm range because the first dyno sheet shows the power actually dropping before the changeover(and you could feel it on the road). It was m...

The car was tuned on monday and made 122kw atw with power flattening out after 5k rpm. Surprise surprise, the exhaust was restricting it(2" ID rear muffler). So the owner came back up to Noosa the next day and I arranged to get a 2.5" system fitted from the headers back. Sounds good now, back to the...

Dyno is monday, couldn't get it in for friday. It's running around on a simple fuel and ignition map atm in the hands of the owner.
The Vipec was ludicrously easy to setup and get running well. I was amazed.

....next up was some headers.

H6 Spam. Many Pics.

Since I have spammed every other subaru forum with H6 goodness I thought Ausubaru should cop it too. :) Just finished another EZ30 conversion, this time and EZ30R with aftermarket ECU. The engine is a test unit from an 05 Legacy, it'd been in stock for quite a while as there were no ecus that could ...

A speed sensor code will cause havoc on a turbo engine, it causes an early engine cut at a certain AFM voltage. On NA engines(gen 2 on at least, can't remember if Gen 1 do) it will trigger the fans to come on permanently and the idle control will not work very well. Some people don't care about this...

Unscrew the SG speed sensor out of the gearbox and screw your L cable in. Speedo now operates. It will not be accurate, but it wouldn't have been accurate after you put big wheels on it anyway. All that's required here is getting the speedo head recallibrated by an instrument technician. They will a...

Still waiting for pics of install. Wiring quality is a good clue to overall work ethic and knowledge. In his defence, the guy did sound like he knew what he was doing when I spoke to him. We are all only human though so mistakes can always be made and simple things missed. Late model wiring is much ...

This thing going yet?
I have ecu and manifold from a 99 Liberty for cheap if things don't work out. Someone bought the engine and didn't want the rest(save on freight cost).
