    Yes, the most over-done idea in existence, done once again for your viewing pleasure. :)

    Options available are the 2.0L Flat 4 and the 2.5 Flat 4 with the same stats as the SBR engines.

    The idea behind this mod was to create the most inclusive Flat 4 swapped Hirochi Sunburst in existence.

    So far, bar the transmissions (and maybe some miscellaneous stuff that couldn't be transferred to the sunburst for obvious reasons) are included and available to play with.

    The swaps are available under a new Unibody (Because I had to mess with the front suspension as well as the engine bay crap to make this engine work with the sunburst)

    The front suspension changes include a mount for the engine. This was the best solution I could come up with regarding how to mount the engine to the vehicle. There were a *lot* of fitment related issues with this engine. So many that I actually had to scale the engine down slightly so it could fit in width wise.

    Now, onto the fun stuff. The engines themselves have a few extra options that I added because I thought they'd be nice additions. They also have most of the stock parts (other than transmissions) that were originally on the SBR engines.

    First things first, a head gasket option. I decided to play into the meme that Flat 4 engines always blow head-gaskets. Now ofc, I don't actually believe this is true, some engines just come with negative connotations and playing into the meme is just entertaining and a little bit of fun. You can either have a stock Head Gasket
    or a Blown one. Which makes the car ploom smoke out of the exhaust and engine bay area.

    As for the other additional parts. Blow Off Valves. IRL you get to pick an aftermarket BOV so I decided the same choice should be available for these engines. (especially since the WRX's IRL can have some really nice sounding ones.)

    The options are as follows: (All sounds are stock game samples)

    No BOV - Turbo Flutter Sample
    No BOV Loud - Unrealistically Loud (But Fun) Turbo Flutter Sample
    Factory Stage 1 BOV - Used with the TT S Twin Turbochargers - Standard BOV Sample
    Factory Stage 2 BOV - Slightly louder, used with the TT S2 Twin Turbo Chargers - Standard BOV Sample
    Loud BOV - Unrealistically Loud (But Fun) Standard BOV Sample.

    Models for these will be created at some point.

    Pictured Below - BOV Options

    New Exhausts.

    Pictured Below - Iconic looking huge cannon tip. Rest of the changes are at the front.

    But yeah. Hope ya'll like this. Most of the other options are just carried straight over from the SBR, nothing particularly worth mentioning.

    Other transmissions are planned but right now only the 6-Speed Manual Transmission exists.


    Video showing the options and my spirited driving on the Industrial Site map.


    Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! :D Thanks for reading :)

    I'll look into making that a possibility. It should be compatible though. As in you could have both mods on at the same time and it wouldn't clash with it and cause a bug.

    Added Transmission Options for the 2.5 / 2.0 (same for both) the 7 Speed DCT's didn't make the cut as the display doesn't support them (& also clearly 6 is enough for the sunburst) Gonna start working on configurations now :)



    Checked for compatibility and its all good :) No issues that i've found. I'm also thinking about making a separate optional modification to add the 2.0L Flat 4 and 2.5L Flat to the cars in this pack too. Just need to ask for permission :)

    All sorted now, will be releasing over the weekend. (Or maybe Friday Evening, depends how busy I am)

    Basically all the 3D related stuff as been completely re-done. Only kept bits like the battery & some of the engine-bay crap.

    New Engine (From 0.25 SBR4 | Edited to fit)
    New Radiator (From 0.25 SBR4 | Edited to fit)
    upload_2022-6-15_23-26-40.png
    NA model now also has a more realistic looking intake.

    I also separated the radiator fan and made it functional on both available radiators

    An update for this mod is pending approval, read the change notes below.

    Change log:

    Fixed for whichever version of the game broke it.

    Sorry for the *insert number of months here* wait.



    I also have some improved models waiting to be put into the game, most important of which is an updated better-flowing twin turbo kit.

    It will most likely be a while before this is added in an update, but i wanted to show it so ya'll know that I have more plans for this mod, just no time to implement them. xD

    This mod is one of my favorites. Have you through of adding a cvt? To really make it seem like a Subaru...

    I'm glad you like it. :) I don't have any plans to add a CVT at the moment. Just bug fixes & small updates really. If I ever do decide to expand upon the mods functionality though a CVT will be at the top of my to-do list. If you have any other requests / ideas though please feel free to reply to the thread with your suggestions :)
