Need to use someone's garage for a few days? - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

JC · 2006-04-10, 11:50 AM

Alright, I'll be coming home on the 3rd or 4th of May and I'm planning on dropping a new motor into my RS. The problem is I have no where to do the work. Can someone lend me the use of a garage and possibly a hand with the swap? Shouldn't take more than a day or two, unless I decide to do new cams too.

Kevin M · 2006-04-10, 11:53 AM

Well, I can't help you with the garage, but I can give you a hand, and I have a setof cams collecting dust in a box...

JC · 2006-04-10, 11:54 AM

aftermarket?

Kevin M · 2006-04-10, 11:56 AM

Cobb mild.

That's really far from my house in Carson, but I'll take you up on that if no one closer can help. Thanks a bunch!

Please tell me you are swapping a turbo motor into it?

negative

JonnydaJibba · 2006-04-10, 12:44 PM

WHAT?! I thought you'd say that... what's going in there then?

Kevin M · 2006-04-10, 12:45 PM

New and improved, 200+ hp EJ251.

JonnydaJibba · 2006-04-10, 12:55 PM

Neato?

Of course it is. If I had the money and time I would do cams and take it to I-Speed to be tuned while I was at it.

JonnydaJibba · 2006-04-10, 01:07 PM

So this motor is out of a...06 2.5i? Just a guess.

I haven't acquired the motor yet, either a JDM lump from Gruppe-S or get a used shortblock from the wreckers.

So then it has a possibility of being turbo'd?

Kevin M · 2006-04-10, 01:12 PM

No.

JonnydaJibba · 2006-04-10, 01:17 PM

Aw...

If you guys do the swap in truckee, (or carson) I'de Love to help. (never seen a motor swap in action) but i don't know much about cars so it will mostly just be heavy lifting, tool gophering, and such. though i am capable of undoing bolts and other easy tasks

No you have a pile of parts that almost approximate a motor, some of which probably won't even be here by the time I need them.

JonnydaJibba · 2006-04-11, 07:03 AM

Well if all else fails I have a garage.

You're correct, the timing probably wouldn't work out... but I'd attempt to have a complete long block assembled for you.

Ya I really don't have enough time to pull off a WRX swap, especially without everything being right there for me. Not to mention it's way more money that I care to spend. I'm no debt racer like you.
