Hi, I'm located in Montreal, Canada and I buy a Conquest from USA last years. I have the plan to swap my engine from my Eagle talon in the quest. This is my little story:

This is my old Eagle Talon (I made 426whp without nitrous at the Dsm Shootout on the Buschur Dyno)


The plan is to use a Muncie Rock Crusher M22 manual 4 speed, fit a oem dsm bell housing, use stock flywheel, dsm 2900 pressure plate, custom 6 puck disc and a hydraulic throwout bearing. This is the results:



The total weight of the transmission with the bellhousing and the adaptor plate is 60 pounds. I just buy a new shifter for it. An inline v-gate shifter, no more ''H'' pattern only push-pull style.

I made a custom ss exhaust manifold, I use a Forester Intake manifold, I change my 2.0L engine for a brand new 2.3L, with Hks 272 cams, manual brake master, watercooler and lot lot more stock.



Custom motor mount




I don't want to have trouble with the rear thermostat housing and the waterpipe. I remote all of this things and I made a custom plate to replace the water pump. I run an electric water pump.




I strip all the car



Weld the roll cage and paint every things





Watercell for the water cooler


Manifold (now with Hks 60mm v-clamp)


And the results:




The first start up isn't bad

very nice very sexy car, im jealous

cool car. tell me more about the forester intake. did you cut the flange from mits and mate the two?

No, the Forester intake is made in two piece. It cast. You could change the side of the cover. It's bolt-on on a dsm head.

The bad thing, you could not use the stock brake booster.

It's not a intake manifold from a Subaru Forester but it's a intake manifold made for the dsm brand Forester (FRH)

Very nice swap.

thanks for clarifying.

So, how does someone get ahold of this "forester" manifold.
Is it a canadian car/motor?
I have a couple of friends in Vancouver..
How do you like the NON power brake setup?

Thanks. E

The Forrester is an aftermarket intake manifold. Do a google search and you'll find pictures, prices, etc.
