84 GL wagon 4spd D/R 4wd

P1010002.jpg

Newly installed EJ18 from 95? Impreza. ECU, intake and harness from a 93 Legacy.

P1010006.jpg

redrilled rhe original EA81 flywheel for EJ. AA copy adapter plate.

 

SPFI air cleaner and air tube used with ABS plastic and extra legacy intake to make CIA/Snorkle.

P1010007.jpg

Off the shelf radiator hoses to make the adaption from EA rad to EJ and extra length for 6" lift. I got a good pic of the goodyear part#. These hoses would likely work for a 4 inch lift too.

EJ and EA Alt harnesses mated. Sodlered a pigtail on the EJ harness to plug EA body wires into.

I suppose I should be on here too now:

Chassis: '85 Brat

Tranny: EA82 5-speed D/R

Suspension: KYB struts/shocks, Whiteline rear swaybar

Other: STI motor mounts, rear disc brakes, redrilled hubs, EA81 turbo engine crossmember (which means I should start trying to turbo it), K&N cone filter on a Vibrant MAF adapter, probably a lot more that I can't think of right now

My GF's "new" 91 Loyale

IMG_3737_zpsad9e6eed.jpg

 

EJ18 engine, harness, ECU.  All from 94 Impreza Donor car.

IMG_3735_zpsb654266a.jpg

 

EA single range 4wd stuffed into a EJ 5spd case.  EJ clutch and flywheel, no adapter.

 

I'm very happy with this install....very clean. 

 

A/C compressor not hooked up yet, but soon....need some adapter lines made to fit EJ pump to EA condensor.

 

I drilled a 2" hole with a hole saw though the blank where the JDM steering wheel column would be.  Ran all the wiring through that hole using Grommet from the Impreza.

IMG_3734_zps10579a29.jpg

 

Other mods to the car include 185/70/14 tires on redrilled Nissan rims.  86 GL-10 height adjusting seats.  Home made Trailer hitch.
