Chassis is an '87 Subaru XT GL-10 AWD, motor is a pull from a wrecked 83 rx7. Cast aluminum adapter plate, XT turbo clutch, modified XT turbo flywheel, and XT turbo AWD gearbox make up the driveline. I had to borrow the rad and oil cooler out of my fast rx7, but that is a small price to pay for an AWD rotary.

Who does that adapter, and is it still made?

 

I bought the adapter for $250, 12+ years ago as new old stock. The previous owner thought it was a kennedy, but when i called them 10 years ago they said they never made such an item. It is a simple casting with a dozen or so holes and minor machining. The flywheel, clutch, PP, starter, and tob are all factory subaru units with the flywheel center machined to a larger ID and bolt pattern to fit a rotary auto counterweight.

 

that is cool

 

Ha, oh well, how hard could it be?

 

A subaru. Of course u have my attention now.. love the old gl's i allways wanted to put an EJ in an fc but this is killer

 

Sweet! An XT was my first car, but it was just fwd and no turbo. My friend had the turbo awd but it was automatic and I think the turbo was seized, it was much slower than mine.
Nice project!

 

Very cool project!
