Buy mine with a Wrx dash made to fit, no AC or Heating but who needs those girly extras when you have a targa top, wind down windows and the speed / performance of a WRX motor. Can send you pics if you provide email.

Im selling my WRX Targa Top Brumby now, had a fender bender on Friday and seeking offers 'as is' ex Gold Coast. Drove it home so not all that bad.

Hooked up the original Throttle Position Switch that i had in my shed which cleared the fault code but car still has the same problem. Installed a manual boost controller and running at 12 PSI which happy with for time being.

Single turbo. The only fault code that appears is accelerator pedal switch.
98 octane fuel.

How likely would it be for the timing belt to have jumped a tooth since recent replacement? Car seems to drive fine but limited to 7/8 PSI which is damm frustrating. Noted that car also seems to have a very very minor shake to it when idling, dont really want to take the radiator out if not likely t...

Still have the same issues, car running around 7psi and if I do ecu reset I get 12psi for a short time which brings a smile that disapears as soon as the boost goes... ECU reset brings up fault code accelerator pedal switch which i know is missing... any ideas on where to start?

Havent had time to check mine further due to work. Not sure if it may be temperature related as we have been having considerable hotter days here in SE QLD and the factory Top Mount INtercooler needs proper scoop and better flow... Might need to take it out early morning / evening to see how she runs.

Not an expert on waste gate testing procedure but rigged up a bike pump with boost guage and the waste gate aremateur is moving at just above 10 PSI and appears fully open near 15PSI. So assume all OK?

Took the car for a longer drive out to some open road to open her up, seems to be that 3rd gear allows boost to standard levels (11/12 PSI) and 1st and 2nd gear is reducing..? Any ideas?

Vacumm hoses appear all original and just checked the boost olive which is in place. ECU reset brings up Accelerator pedal switch fault code? and know that i left the switch out when the conversion was done - any relation?

Hey Guys, EJ20T in Brumby now with recently replaced plugs and timing belt has recently started running / being limited to half boost, (5-6 PSI) unsure if the check engine light should come on if theres a fault or if I need to check fault codes to determine?. Engine is Jap import, standard ECu, etc ...

Planning to take the car to Willow Bank for a test n tune day for a run down the 1/4 mile strip sometime soon. Running stock 93' EJ20T Jap import motor with pod filter and 3 inch exhaust from Cat back, interesting to see what times she pulls..

Hey Guys,

Just doing 100K service on Brumby with EJ20T, changing of plugs is planned which appears near impossible. Has anyone done this and able to provide any advice on how done, assume engine needs to be partially lifted out/up?

Cheers.

Used Crossbred kit for the stud conversion.

For the intercooler im keeping it as is for stealthyness, thinking to add blower / fan to suck fresh air through it which should be efficient.

Can consider sale of car aswell, if anyone interested let me know.

Radiator is the brumby original with modified inlets, not much room. Some more pictures.

Fair bit of time, sacrifice to heating, air conditioning and glovebox. The WRX dash is wider and physically deeper so lots of chopping to get it in. Made an aluminium bracket to mount dash against the firewall and some extra supports on either side. The Dash image shows in red where about chopping w...

Hey Guys, have a 1986 twin headlight targa top brumby with 1994 WRX EJ20 Turbo and WRX dash fitted . Heaps of thanks to the site for providing information / advice on the conversion allowing me to complete the work.

thanks guys, the fans pulsed when green wires connected so presuming all good. Guess the WRX engines are meant to run quite hot as the fans dont seem to be told to kick in and temp not creeping above mid range on dash.

Hey guys, anyone know if the radiator fans from a 94 EJ20T are meant to start with engine ignition or is it only / purely temperature activated from the ECU. I have been test driving the brumby around the block and idling in garage but the fans just dont seem to start and temp guage (wrx dash used) ...

Hey guys, can anyone provide advice on whether the Brumby fuel sender / wiring will hook up to the Impreza guage and actually work? Also does anyone know if the accelerator switch not being connected effects anything, what does it actually do? Finally if any one has photos of WRX prop shaft mounted ...
