Myxalplyx Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 then what's the problem? money? I know that's my problem... My situation was $$$. I even had a website with a diary of a turbo XT6. It just never happened. And Dave of ProECM has a turbocharged XT6 already. He's just quiet as kept (whatever the kept part means). :-\ I'm retarded!

Caboobaroo Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 so you're gonna lower it and make it a nice sleeper aren't ya:brow: Can't wait till I can get the Brat body channeled and set onto the frame:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty2Austin Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 hey, will this be running in time for me to see it in action this Dec?? well, I would like to see it anyways! comparing it to the EJ22 swap.. looks like that is more difficult! if I do another conversion.. I would with an ea81 body (brat or something ) and use the EJ25T or EJ20T.... with the matching tranny.. and just get custom axles and driveshaft... if I go 6 cyl, then it will be a EZ30 from an 02 or 03 H6 wagon the catch is... money and time... both of wich I lack at the moment! but now I know how to do it all!! cool hatch to say the least!!! I hope you get it driving soon!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 it'll be runin for sure, and hopefully i'll finish the bumper/motormounts/skidplate assembly this weekend... but it might be only 2wd =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLCraig Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 if I go 6 cyl, then it will be a EZ30 from an 02 or 03 H6 wagon That would be my choice too. It's a lot more compact then a ER27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorganM Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 So, how are things going with this monster? I watched it lay down some stripes and a smoke screen off the tires last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 So, how are things going with this monster? oh ya, front emergency brakes and rear wheel drive are a fun combo. the only problem, the second i let out the clutch, i instantly loost traction. im gonna put about 400lbs in the back, and put about 50 miles on tomorrow. more, very good pics to come. =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoodsWagon Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 whats the problem with loosing traction? that was the point of a bigger engine wasn't it? How come you can't install the front halfshafts? then you can lay lots of rubber. I secons the vids request (in quicktime if possible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mschafe Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Hey archemitis, I want to see your er27 project in person sometime.. Maybe that will give me some inspiration to do the swap myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Davis Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Engine sits a little more level in the bay when Subieloving scum I share shop space with throw away the stock motor mounts and replace them with the drag race suspension stolen off my CRX: Uh, yeah, a couple of $0.99/per hockey pucks from wongleflute's. I use them stacked over the rear shocks to prevent rearward suspension travel when at the dragstrip. Ghetto riceboy trick. I think the above engine was pulled no less than five times to try different solutions to correcting engine/trans angle. Just a little trick Dave figured out, to help out anybody else trying this swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
