    Just got me a Subaru EA81 motor to convert my vw trike over to Subi power. Hope to start once it warms up a bit here, don't have a garage or any protection from the weather to start the conversion.

    Tweety the trike started out as a 1916cc VW engine with VW 3 speed auto from the 1960 type 3 vehicles. An ea81 was fitted and is in the trike in this video<br />
    <br />
    <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXwh4z8d66o" target="_blank">Trike - YouTube</a><br />
    <br />
    An adapter was sought and a custom exhaust made.<br />
    <br />
    The auto box zaps 14 hp out of the engine far too much. and to tow with the trike was not pwoerful enough. I supercharged the engine with a SC12 draw thru set up with delorto carbie but has been really uneconomical. great power though. I tried water injection but was a waste of time with such low boost.<br />
    <br />
    So the plan is to fit SPFI and possible blow thru SC12 set up and a new engine next year.<br />

    yeh slick Rick, it was for sale during a personal crisis in my life. Once over that, a few weeks, I withdrew it from sale and glad I did. Just dropped it off at a welder to weld up parts of the frame and it was running good. Cant wait to get the SPFI on it though- will then be much more reliable.

    I have been using this trike for quite a few years now and enjoy the power train. I used the entire drive train from the donor vehicle and aside from a few glitches, am quite pleased with how it turned out.

    I have pulled a Subaru EJ25 and all the wiring and ecu, fuse and replay panels, from a 2004 50K Forester that the car was damaged, but engine & drivetrain in excellent condition, they showed me before engine was pulled.

    All engine numbers were noted before engine was pulled.

    They started engine, and ran it for a couple of minutes.

    Now my question is at 165h.p. and 165 Ft lbs torque, NA, and as light as this trike will be,

    I want to keep this short, but with that kind of power, I am thinking that, keeping the front end on the ground will be tough.

    I am going to try to put as much weight forward and low as possible.

    I would like to use a pancake flat fuel tank to go under the floor as far forward as possible like starting right behind the front wheel, a 8.5 gal. tank, it is approx 3" deep and will be take up the whole floor area.

    They are plastic tanks and are fairly light weight an very low profile.

    I would also like the battery way up front to.

    They do make some powerful and light weight batteries, now a days.

    Anything else that can be done to move the weight forward.

    I think, Engine will remain a rear engine.

    Although i do have a 914 trans that is Completely rebuilt, in a 74' 914 that the Subie 2.5L engine is currently in.

    The 914 weighs 1900-Lbs, but a trike would be Much less, also thought maybe a fiberglass dunebuggy for this engine.

    Westgl, you might be going the wrong way about this.<br />
    <br />
    your idea of a frotn mounted tank is a little flawed. When the tank empties you'll have your light front end again.<br />
    <br />
    A battery as far forward as possible is a good idea. So is a front mounted radiator. If that fails to keep the front down then I'd resort to lead somewhere.<br />
    <br />
    I originally had the radiator on tweety above the engine but it wasnt efficient. I then widened the brake pedal and placed it in front. Much better this way for your issue of front wheel lift.<br />
    <br />
    Alfa33 1979-1988 had a really small radiator 245mmx520mm. Thats what I used. But recently in Oz that became impossible to get so the next size was Alfa33 1988-1994 which is 80mm higher and mine is in the mail as we speak. two 30mm stainless steel tubes from front to rear and two flexible hoses to suit. <br />
    <br />
    The original location<br />
    <br />
    <a href="http://s804.photobucket.com/user/eaglefree/media/IMG_0003-4.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy330/eaglefree/IMG_0003-4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />
    <br />
    Extra cooling vents from boats.

    Called &quot;Hawsie pipes&quot; they are commonly used to allow anchor ropes to go thru on the decks.<br />
    <br />
    <a href="http://s804.photobucket.com/user/eaglefree/media/IMG_0025-1.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy330/eaglefree/IMG_0025-1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />
    <br />
    Alfa radiator up front<br />
    <br />
    <a href="http://s804.photobucket.com/user/eaglefree/media/IMG_0050-1.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy330/eaglefree/IMG_0050-1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />
    <br />
    and finally the heater vents. found in a local hardware store they are common in lounge rooms as floor vents. when closed heat goes towards the ground.<br />
    <br />
