nbl300 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 hello im building a buggy out of a subaru gl wagon 5spd thats besides the point i need to know if any body knows how to start the motor on the stand i already seperated the harness into all the lighting and misc b.s. and the necessities that plug into the engine.what wires need power and what wires need to be grounded. im pretty much looking make a standalone harness without using a vipec or aem. also if anybody has a wiring diagram that is actually readable and not fuzzy thatd be awesome. there was only 3 wires that the 2 halves share 2 blue one with red and one with white stripe and one red these need to be powered? what does this box do is just a big gronding brick because alot of the wires that come fromm the ignition go to it specificaly the white ones and it splices in a lot of places and goes to other connectors. just food for thought... hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 The thing in the picture is the fuse able link box. All of the high amp circuits go through it. You would be best served to find a factory service manual for the full schematic and all the section pieces with details. There may be a link around for an online one, or ebay. It would help to know if the engine is SPFI or carb, and year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) As you might see on the video above, it is easier on Carbureted engines; EFi counterparts will need the ECU and Wiring... you could consider the idea to convert your TBi EA82 to Carburetor in order to simplify your Buggy build; basically talking, you'll need a carbureted intake manifold, plus its carb; but the Distributor might require a swap as well. Kind Regards. Edited June 23, 2016 by Loyale 2.7 Turbo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 you need to connect everything engine electrical related. Except don't really need the alternator. When I did it, I had a spare transmission, so I could mount the starter also. Ran water from the garden hose through the cooling system instead of a radiator.

rdweninger Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Once again, Jeszek shows his amazing collection of Soob videos (and pics). Solid Proof that ea82's just want to Run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
