you know, after my motor had rod knock i was thinking of swap options, you know the pipe dream kind.. i was wondering has anyone thought of puting a subies flat4 into a 240 ? is the engine bay wide enough ? i know if money was no issue it can be done, but has anyone thought of atempting it ?

 

AWD engine in a RWD car....sounds tough

 

OK YOU SAID FJ20..... THATS A NISSAN INLINE 4CYL MOTOR.
EJ20 AND EJ25 IS THE SUBARU MOTORS THAT ARE FLAT 4'S. YES I THOUGHT ABOUT IT AND WOULD LOVE TO DO IT BUT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE PART.

 

i was close.. you knew what i ment anyways... i mean keep the car RWD i gotta find out how the motor sits and if its mounted like a FWD motor like most AWD cars..

 

NO SUBARUS ARE MOUNTED LONGITUDINAL... THE TRANNY/TRANSFER CASE IS SETUP LIKE THE RB26DETT. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GET A MODIFIED BELLHOUSWING PUT ON THE RB25 TRANNY AND FIT IT TO THE ENGINE.

PIC OF ENGINE BAY:

 

That would be a really cool swap. Anything is possible with the proper know how& $$$$

You can always put a Mustang II IFS up front.

 

theres just soo much wiering and crap on that motor its just crazy, it makes the FD vacume hoses and wireing seem like childs work...

 

what if it was mated to the z32 or z33 6speed tranny ? i like that option better.. btw does anyone know how much that motor weighs in comparison to nissan motors /

 

Isn't the EJ20/25 OBD-II also? Even more fun lol

Sounds like to much customization to me, but very unique

 

wrx engine bays are so ugly ... it just looks like a bunch of shiot plopped in there... can't even see the motor lol

 

i've seen a evo swap into a 92-95 civic hatch. not that that has anything to do w/ this lol.

 

was the civic evo awd or just fwd ?
