doobieryan Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Most engine swaps are ej series Subaru engine swaps. You could put an sti motor or a 2.5 rs motor in fairly cheap depending on how much you get the engine for. Im sure someone's dropped a 350 in one, but that would take a lot of fab work and suspension that could hold up a v8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1982gl4 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I love that project flight_of_pain great work! As stated about most of us do another subaru engine. Right now I'm putting a 2.5 with 2.2 heads in my Brat (this combo has higher compression, and will fit between the unibody on the Brat) There are a couple known with a WRX swap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enMDCVKVjUc&feature=related And the next one is just crazy, I'm not sure what it's running for a drivetrain, but it's fast This one has a WRX swap http://z15.invisionfree.com/Mv_Brat_Brumby/index.php?showtopic=69 Along with this one http://z15.invisionfree.com/Mv_Brat_Brumby/index.php?showtopic=178 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

91 subaru Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I love that pic of the white brat with the storm rollin in and the smashed cars. thats awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumblee Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 always thought the rotary would be great in an rx. Especially since rx was mazdas designation for "rotary experimental" Not a torquey enough engine for the off road crowd but would be great for an auto x or fun daily driver car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooparu Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I saw a post on here some time ago with a guy that installed a Honda Goldwing motorcycle engine in his Subaru. I'll do some digging and see if I can find it. Here are some great engine swap & modifications I've found over the years: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
