SubyNotch is up and running

73notch · #1 October 8th 2005, 21:16

hey everyone, i finally got my site up. Its still in the early stages, but it pretty much documents most everything on my conversion of a 73 notchback to ej power. Right now the car is very drivable, and is my daily driver once again.

I feel the site can actually walk people through the major parts of the conversion, if anyone feels i missed some parts, let me know, ill add them.

I don't think ive ever even posted pictures of it on these forums.

check it out.

Not only is that an awsome notch, it's a great conversion as well. It's true, I'm jealous.

Great going Ryan! Would be interested in more Subaru specific MS stuff, how is it running now? Any idea on power?

Nicely done !
I wish I had the welding and fab skills you have.

Looks very professional.

And yes, I'd be interested too in more details around the MS setup.
Did it fire right up with the base map ?
Did it / does it require a lot of tuning ?

first time i tried starting it, it didnt start, but that was a mistake on my part because i used the wrong version program. but when i fixed it, it started up.

all i used was a program in megasquirt that is a rough map calculator. sometimes that map works great, sometimes just ok. Because i had the wideband, it only took about 1/4 a tank to get it close to the correct map with a buddy in the passenger seat. that has to be one of the most fun parts, cause the car gets faster and faster, and next thing you know, you are going way too fast.

we are still fine tuning it, but its running great right now, fast and getting better gas milage then the old 1600 carbed engine in before it. And the sound is absolutely amazing.

right now it is mated to the stock tranny! haha, but i baby it when taking off. in the garage is a porsche 901 4 speed which i will use.

ill update the site with more in depth megasquirt stuff tonite.

Oh, i can take credit for the fabbing, but the actually welding was done by my boss haha.

thanks,
-Ryan

Not only is it a great job on the car, it is a great job on the site explaining the car. Very well done times two. :agree: :agree:
