That’s an epci build Subyroo! I saw that one last week. Only thing I didn’t like was the wheel spaces you can see in the multi stud rims. Otherwise it’s bang on in my book!

Hehehe, all good mate! Paint was interesting getting straight into it. Since Subaru is sponsoring the build for their cause I wonder what their deadlines for the build were. Subarino’s 5 stud kit looks awesome! Very well fitting with a lot of attention to detail. It certainly opens up options for br...

Sam, looking at my MIL’s PS pump it’s the same as yours. So hunt down a set of PS lines from an SG forester. Hers is a series 2. I hope this helps with sorting that out. That’s a heck of a lot of wiring to configure! I’m sure it will be fun and rewarding when it fires up for the first time as it alw...

Hehehe, I had the same idea of posting about it - and it seems by the time stamps that I beat you by a couple of hours! Great minds eh?! https://ausubaru.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=50889 How are you enjoying the build so far? This is pretty much what I want to do to my targa in the paint department...

Anyone else enjoying this series as much as I am??

If you’ve missed it, here’s episode 1 to get you started!

No knock control? That seems backwards. So the ECU relies entirely on its programmed fuel MAPs? I still reckon that ECU would be better for another project and the factory ECU and wiring more appropriate/easier. Worst case scenario you can always fall back on the factory ECU and loom if need be ;) P...

So fitting the replacement Y pipe because this MY didn’t come with one, it was quickly apparent that I need the cast exhaust blocks used for the EGR emissions on the later model brumby that this Y pipe came from. Also turned out that this EA81 shares the same exhaust nut as the EJ engines. I thought...

It’s the attention to detail that will have your build stand out amongst others mate! Did you do a high temp clear coat enamel (don’t know if that’s actually a thing) to keep your intake looking schmick? The PS pump: you could’ve defences your photos on the forum here to work out what was needed. I’...

G’day Eagerex, That’s certainly not a bill you’d want to take on at the moment - or ever, who wants a bill ever? Anyway, interesting issue and one in a vehicle that I haven’t played with before. I’ve read issues with the CVT in the states and some private workshop operators that reckon they’re hot g...

Got some time on the wagon yesterday with the young fella. We got a manual setting rack fitted. Haven’t done the exhaust Y pipe yet namely because I worked out that I don’t have any nuts that fit the EA81 exhaust studs. Stuff up on my part for not forward thinking. Once this is on I should be able t...

Going back through my messages with Jordan, this is all the info I had: The issue is to find a cheap box that has the correct 5th gear ratio and its normally the wrx or turbo ej boxes that have them and everyone wants good coin and 0.738 5th gear I know he did make an adapter for me, and sent me a ...

I should’ve been more clear about the link to the 1.59:1 low range into an EJ box. All you need from there is the details around the bearing details to mate the L series unit shaft into the EJ input shaft housing. For those that snag a series 1 EJ gearbox, the input shaft housing is three bolt and s...

Can you tell I'm out of my depth with all this EJ malarkey? :lol: That’s where asking questions comes into it! Research!! Makes sense that you’re using the adaptor plate you’ve had for some time! Any way I can view this video by Jordan on bookface? Or can I find it using Mrs El_Freddo’s account? I’...

That engine looks so good in the blue engine bay! It’s not too late to pull the intake manifold and get it media blasted, it’ll just take time and some coin as usual! Since you’ve got what looks like an EJ flywheel, didn’t you have the matching bolts for tut that came off the engine? Or MIA? Where’d...

Don’t put a pod filter on this as A) it won’t look even stockish and B) if you put it behind the RHS head, although it’s convenient, you’ll have a piping hot exhaust directly under it! Tape up/line your engine bay rails to protect your paint. The EJ202 fits but it can be tight to get it in as there’...

Photos don’t do this interior justice Toonga!! In the pics it looks like you can use this interior, the reality couldn’t be further from the truth! It was wet in places, fabric was brittle and would tear if you sat or lent on it, rats had dedicated everywhere! Since it’s had rats in it I’m surprised...

The fuel pressure regulator is located at the back of the fuel rail on the RHS head. It’ll have a little vacuum line that goes to it too. I reckon you’ll find that 8mm fuel line overkill. You’re not running a drag racer, and I’m 99% sure when ppl drop the turbo EJ in that they don’t upgrade the fuel...

:lol: And some panel beating, cable ties replaced with the actual clips they’re substituting and paint touch up all over! He’s bit of a bucket but he’s solid and everything works as it should… until it doesn’t - which doesn’t happen often so can’t complain. I forgot to add that he’s run over 484,000...

Not much happened for Basil over the last few years other than smashing out kms, giving good fuel economy and smashing that set of factory 17 inch Liberty rims while up in Qld. According to Sis the edge of the road came into the lane where there was a pot hole, she couldn’t go around it due to oncom...

Scrub the idea of sending over a fuel line from a wreck over here, I read this thread the other day by chance and thought it’s something you could do - bend up your own fuel line: https://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/127820-ea81-rear-fuel-line-routing-need-pics/ It would probably be easier and...
