First timer - RMW Kit and EJ22
|
Hi guys,
I've heard about this group for a few years, but only just up and joined as a swap is imminent! I've gone ahead and got the RMW kit as it seems really complete and pretty well made - I've dealt with them on some other stuff and met some people that had swaps done there as well and all good things to say... Located a Motor, ECU and harness locally [Portland, OR] out of a 99 Legacy. (Not a donor car, I'm just getting these parts) I understand this is a phase 2 motor - anyone have any experience with one of these good bad or otherwise? Am I missing anything major here? Seems like it's going to be reasonably straightforward. [Famous last words] Cheers all! |

I'm just getting finished up on my install of a '99 Phase II EJ25 out of an Impreza 2.5RS, with mostly RMW hardware (adapter, exhaust, coolant mount, etc). Fired it up for the first time last weekend! Got a few bugs, but went well for the most part. As I'm sure everyone will tell you, the wiring harness is the biggest PITA. But its doable. If you are not patient or not very experienced doing this kind of work, its worth it to have an expert do the harness. I'm over in the V-Couv, so if you want to take a look at everything as it is in my van, you are more than welcome. Let me know and we can set something up. Good luck.

I'm preparing to do my EJ22 conversion right now. Plan is to use RMW kit as well but going to have them do the wiring harness. I'm really interested in how smooth the conversion goes and feed back on their kit.

Matt and Group----just had my westy syncro converted by Small Car Performance. I found a 2010 Impreza 2.5 with 20,000 miles in Spokane, and they installed it. Drove it home from Tacoma, WA to Helena, MT. 650 miles, 4 passes---- I passed cars going up all the passes, avg. 17 mpg, and power to spare. Have been a regular visitor to this group and have learned a lot, and appreciate all the valuable information members have to offer----thanks for that. The new adventure begins.

I'm doing the RMW kit as well. Actually I'm picking up the parts on saturday. I'm super excited! Wish I had some more information for you, but it has to feel good knowing others are in the same boat as you. I will be doing an aircooled conversion on a 81 westy. I'm a rookie at all of this, but mike seems like a great guy and your in the right hands. RMW makes some quality parts and they are easy to work with. I hope the conversion goes well for you and I'll be following this thread.
