blakem3 Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 This is what I got going on I'm looking at an 85 Subaru Gl wagon with 4wd. Its got a bad engine in it, then I found a 88 Subaru 2wd for sale that is wrecked but has an engine in it with under 60K on it but its fuel injected not carborated. Is it possiable to put this fuel injected engine into this other 85 Subaru? If it is how hard is it to do? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84gl Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 yes just swap the intakes and distys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROGDOR! Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 What he said- swap the intake manifold complete, as well as the distributor. Problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakem3 Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 Let me get this right, I take the intake of the fuel injected engine and replace that with the carb off the bad engine. Then do the same with distributer. Right? I was wanting to convert it to Fuel injection because I hear it make a big difference in power and fuel econ. But I've seen other posting and it seems like it's a lot of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballitch Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 just throw in the EFI motor, it has less miles and a higher compression ratio, not to mention about 10 HP. no swapping of distys or intakes, it bolts right up, you just need the computer and harness to make it run. more in depth, but better in the long run. ~Josh~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 It's really not that hard to swap over to SPFI. A good bit of wiring, but if you've got a complete donor car, it's not that bad. The conversion manual is located here, and it should help you decide if it's something you want to do. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/article.php?a=61 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
