suberdave Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) Started out live as a FWD 5 speed, SFI 1.8L N/A Now with: 50% more Cylinders (H6 EG33) 100% more Rear Wheel Drive 100% more Subercharger (Eaton M90) 100% more tail pipes (dual Exhaust) 100% more body Kit (stock RX body kit) 100% more tuneability (standalone ECU) 1000X more awesomeness!!! and the engine has been moved back about 10 feet... Makeing its first Public Showing at THE BIG NORTH WEST SUBARU SHOW!!! Took it to the tuner today. the clutch held up for 2 pulls to 4K, then started to slip big time... guess a stock EJ18 Clutch will not hold the torque of an EG33... First Startup: Real Quick Dyno pull with clutch slip... more pictures to come... I promise you that... -=Suberdave=- Edited July 14, 2012 by suberdave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbone Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I heard rumors.........so what kind of numbers did you get before the clutch started slipping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 AWESOME! ... I Really Like the Idea! Have you Upgraded the Rear Suspension too? I Hope to see it Running in a Video, Soon. Kind Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bratman18 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 More great work! Keep it up, and let's see some more pics! What are your plans for a clutch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyfun Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 O M F G That's insane. What did you have to do to the suspension? And why did you mount the fuel tank in back instead of the front? I suppose I should ask where the build thread is on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

czny Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Realllly nice! Did you put a LSD in the trans so it'll stand on 2 legs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suberdave Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 the trans that is in it now will not be staying in it. im still trying to find a different tans, and clutch that will hold more power. -=Suberdave=- Realllly nice!

Numbchux Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 This is beyond epic. I raise a glass to Suberdave for sheer awesome! the trans that is in it now will not be staying in it. im still trying to find a different tans, and clutch that will hold more power. -=Suberdave=- I wonder how the FWD trans internals vary from AWD in an EJ. If you could re-use some of the FWD parts in a pull-type case. That would solve your clutch issue.....although I'm not sure how other things would hold up. Also, as it turns out, it's really not difficult to use 23-spline axle stubs with a Carbonetic front LSD. Just a little machine work to convert the 5MT 23-spline stubs to use a circlip instead of the snapring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyfun Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 6-speed, fich ja! Or just throw a FWD auto trans in for drag racing purposes, and then you wouldn't have to worry about a clutch, but where's the fun in that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 That's so awesome. We definitely need more pics, and more info on how it's all put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Gotta be some kind of award we can give you for this, maybe a clock and calender. Lots of time into this puppy. I sure hope you get your thrills from it. Enjoy , and don't take my post the wrong way. Waiting on the video of the donuts you're going to be doing. Oh , and screw those ads for the Scion/Subaru/Toyota with the rump roast end swinging into oncoming traffic around a mountain bend. We want to see your ride in that add.
