1. Removed from car, stripped down to bare engine and new Stainless Exhaust  header fabricated and turbo mounted.

2. Eggenfeller Intake Manifold installed.

3. Fuel injectors replaced, fuel rails reinstalled, braided SS line and fittings installed to complete fuel loop.

4. Obtained 50% reduction harmonic balancer replacement and installed.

5. Tap fittings and make Stainless Steel lines for turbo Oil lines to oil gallery and oil pan, water lines from heater line of water pump and from crossover tube.

6. Subie-Lyc PSRU (Prop Speed Reduction Unit) fitted and installed.

7. Install K & N airfilter, attach turbo outlet to intake inlet tube with Silicone hose and band clamps.

8. Create adapter plate for prop hub, create plywood firewall to "dummy up" engine mount, hang from engine crane.

9. Remove crane adapter and adjust motor to proper offset from firewall and cowl, support with engine stands.  

10. Install cowl and cut out cowling to fit Subaru Engine. I really don't know how they expected a IO-360 to fit in this cowl since the Subaru EJ-22 is much more compact and it doesn't fit.

11. Aquired prop hub extension from a Soob list member and used a template tool to fit the spinner and propeller. (Below)

12. Here is the Ivoprop, spinner and hub extension fit together. Finger template and a rol-lock sure make it easy.

13. Loosely assembled prop spacer, Ivoprop and spinner on top of cowling for fit. OH YEAH! Its starting to look like the front of an airplane!

14. Took 4 hours just to make sure all the measurements were correct. (Note Plumb bob) Rechecked measurements MANY times. All tubing just set in place for design purposes .

15. Top view of motor now that all is welded up. Checked measurements after unwedging jackstands and they remained the same. PERFECT!

15. Side view of engine and mount after all was welded up. It took two SOLID days. (10am to Midnight) to get this all done.

16. Time to get things on a "flying plane" and get the engine horizontal and get all the details for Firewall forward on the test stand.  (Note IvoProp and its lectric contact installed, all engine sensors for EFI and instuments installed. Radiator overflow tank  holder made and installed on firewall. Radiator mounts are planned and -16 hose will connect radiator to engine.)

17. Find the location for the Hall Effect sensor for my EFI / Ignition system, tapped and Timesert'd holes with steel inserts.

18. Planned and created test size fuel system for Dyno tests using pumps and line setups as they will be on the plane, just shorter aluminum tubing runs.

 

19. Finally got the custom radiator. Going to mount as shown and use ducting to bring air from front of cowl to radiator, then air will exit at bottom rear of cowl which tends to be a low pressure area.
