Just thought I'd say a quick hello, joined a little while ago and now needing all the help and support I can get. I'm currently building an SDR V-Storm with an Impreza Turbo engine and gearbox converted and installed in a mid engined configuration. I've just done the gearbox and now started on the engine, strip down, cambelt, clutch, oil change etc then a paint and done. I'm finding the engine quite daunting with the pipework and everything, (its a 98 UK standard car) I want to simplify the installation as much as possible. There is no heater, power steering or air conditioning required. I'm happy to use a catch tank if it removes pipe work. I'm looking for a neat installtion above all, though in time I plan on rebuilding an STI lump and transplanting. I will probably also get confused about what goes where so any advice on the pipe work and install is much appreciated.

I'm not very good at posting images, though I have some of the engine and gearbox on my build blog, scoobystorm.tumblr.com.

Thanks again for any advice and support

 

Sounds good mate - good luck!

 

Thanks cster I need it, first little problem today, two bolts sheared removing the main coolant pipe from the block, eventually sorted. Does anyone know where I can get the o rings from, and are they a standard size or subaru specific? cheers.

 

Coolent o rings for the water manifold are Subaru 806933010, from any dealer, or some specialists like Lateral etc.

 

Thanks Motors, never knew they existed! website looks good and gaskets and small items are available, another one for my favourites list.
