BLASPHEMY! EJ25 in an FC (The project begins)
Okay, since there's not really a "conversion forum" here on the club. I thought i'd just post this here.
I find myself if the awkward position of having a 1990 FC with no power plant or transmission, save the rear end. Now to make things more awkward I also have the engine from a 2005 STi extra from a swap deal gone awry. I was looking at the two of them and I thought to myself.
"Damn I bet that could fit in my FC if I put the trans from a TII on it."
I don't have the Transmission yet, but i've been thinking about it and the more I look into it the more I like the idea.
It's not that I hate rotaries but I just happen to have an extra engine lying around and I don't have a rotary engine on hand. So I figure why not. I know it's going to be a pain in the *** in terms of money and Fabrication but who knows, in the end I may just end up having a truly unique FC.
Hate all you want I just want some feedback.

I remember Nihl saying that this would not work for some reason. Something that it could not sit low enough in the frame or far enough back or something like that.

well I measured the engine i have, the best I could and then I climbed in the engine bay of my FC and I think it should work. The only thing I'm worried about is hood clearance. But I think that if I use some kind of Liquid to air or FMIC i should be okay.
Besides guys are able to shoe horn LS1's into that engine bay. so the EJ25 should fit.

Listen to King Diamond.

I like the idea of the EJ25 in an FC. The increase in torque would be a welcome change, and it would be a total mindfuck when you hear the boxer rumble coming out of an FC. I'm kind of worried about space issues, but I hope it will work out. Best of luck to you, sir.
