I have been thinking about this for several weeks when this new rash of
Subaru bashing started again. Would it be possible to use the Subaru
engine, but incorporate the stock Digijet FI system? There would be some
obvious problems with the fuel injectors and the distributor, but
everything else could be adapted pretty easily. You would have to modify
the Subaru's distributor shaft to attach the VW unit. I don't think that
would be that hard. The FI's, I don't know. Worst case would be machining
the heads to use the VW pieces. It seems like it would eliminate all of
the wiring problems, and maybe the emission inspection issues, too. I
don't know anything about Subaru engines--is there something really obvious
I'm missing? Maybe KEP could come up with a distributor to offer with
their adapters?
