Im currently fitting maxima throttles on my engine using the lower part of the manifold. Time in building this set up isnt a problem as im unemployed, so have about 9 hours each day to fill in time till the mrs comes home and already have 4 nissan throttles. Question is, What exactly is wrong...

No tunnel of firewall mods. Yes i re used the factory subaru radiator. Removed 1 of the 2 fans to allow clearance of power steer pump pulley. Trick is to space the crossmember down. If you see the second pic i put a link to on my first post you will see the spacer. Ive also had to space...

as long as its the same ratio as the front diff. I havnt looked into it so not sure what the front ratio is.

I dont see any problems with fitting one. Theres a few of those 4WD engine/trans are kicking around in NZ. Would be great to see someone do the V8 4WD conversion to a subaru. You have me thinking now... A 2 door Impreza 4WD V8. First thing that comes to mind is what rear diff to use ? And...

We fitted a pair of bigger brakes with twin pot calipers off some other model subaru, maybe the twin turbo ? Not sure, but they bolted straight up and look to be a definate improvement over what was on there.

Got the car drivable today. Goes great, a bit noisey though as its running a 3inch system with 1 large muffler at the rear. Definatly sure sounds different to the usualy subaru rumble. Air intake pipe clears by 3 million miles ! Running the standard radiator, time will tell if its sufficient...

Really ? Thats good to hear as i allways thought the twin turbo was over 200kw. I dont really know much about subaru engines.

Its a 1995 wagon. Was a standard nn turbo single cam EJ20

Heres some pics of my latest creation. I will take some more pics next week as i dont have any completed pictures yet. Its just a standard 1UZ with auto trans running the factory ECU. Its RWD only. Built it to see if it could be done. Will post up more detailed pictures next week of what was...

Thanks for your replies, im from NZ and the auto trans are easy to find for very cheap or free. Im going to attemp the manual conversion, will let you all know how it goes. The only main problem i see with it is fitting a manual pedal and master cylinder. Like you said peewee, once this is done...

Ive have just purchased a Toyota Celsior with a 1UZ, it has a fault with the transmission, reverse gear only works 5% of the time, and 50% of the time when driving forward it jumps from 1st to top gear with out changing from 2nd to 3rd. So what im thinking is it needs a manual conversion, i...

Dont know what the car weighs, alltho i shud take it to the local weigh bridge and find out. The car hasnt seen the strip since it ran a 12.8. It has new rims and tyres on it now, 15x7 and 15x 8 simmons B45's Looks a whole heap better ! The Link ECU runs both fuel and ignition.

Think outside the square. Theres plenty of height, just need to remount the front seats.

The motor is stock, just running a Link ECU. 174kw is about 250 hp im guessing

I too had to drop my crossmember down approx 15mm to allow the engine to fit under the bonnet

Hi My frends did the conversion for Mad Mike. I didnt look closely at the conversion, im just relaying at what ive seen. Im sure your right tho and the engine could be fitted in quite nicely. I dont know why mad mikes doesnt

The toyota hiace ambulances have widder chassis rails than the normal hiaces , fitting a 1UZ into one is not as easy as it first looks. A frend has just done one, he thought he could get away with fitting a 1UZ and engine crossmember from an ambulance into his 1993 hiace, but nooo. Also had to...

Just do it, post some pics up of your progress. Ive thought about doing it myself as previa vans in NZ are very cheap. $500 to $2000 You will need to build a box over the engine and remount the front seats. My advice is to run a toyota Hiace gearbox, this way you can adapt the 1UZ straight on...
