Hi all, I have a 1992 model subaru brumby i have had in my shed for 4 years which i am getting back on the road. I am looking at putting a different engine in it and was wondering what my options are ??? It is an awesome car and want her to go as good as she looks !!!

Hi and welcome to AUSubaru!

If you are looking at more horsepower, you have 3 main options

1. Use your current engine (EA81) and whack a Weber carby on it and a free flowing exhaust. Expect around 80-85hp. Cheapest and easiest (will not need an engineers certificate for blue slip)

2. EJ20 or EJ22 conversion from an Impreza or Liberty. Will cost anywhere from $1000 up. Good power upgrade, roughly 120-135hp and upgraded brakes is recommended, but you may have issues with blue slip

3. EJ20 turbo from a WRX. Will be the fastest but will cost the most and really should be accompanied by gearbox and brake upgrades.

Have a play with the search function at the top of the forum, its been covered many times.

This is also a good read Fitting an EJ Motor into an MY or L Series Subaru
