Pretty much all of them.

Why a JDM engine though?

EJ205 will easily make that with a larger turbo and parts are as easy as a trip to your local Subaru dealer.

Was going JDM because of cost and can't seem to find any US engines with lower miles. Based on my research was going to do a standalone system maybe Megasquirt or an EMS system from Outfront Motorsports who does allot of 2.5 motors in dune buggies and has helped some of the other 914 guys. He is all about the jdm 2.5 motor and says its gonna be hard to get to 300chp with a 2.0. I'm open for suggestions US or JDM as the 914 transaxle can only handle alittle over 300hp.

Car is back up and running again after being apart for about a year,

Rebuilt with IAG shortblock and G30-660 and fixed a lot of things that were bad from the car sitting so long

Looking good! I like the hammered paint on the intake manifold with the color of the car.

Also news for those looking to swap. Guard Transmission has reached out and wants to get these back into production, so expect some updates soon.

Default Nice Fab Work

The fab work on the motor mount is beautiful. The car should be fun with the power to weight ratio goal. I love the flares too. You'll have a ton of grip with tires that wide assuming you'll go with a softer compound tire.
