Cant wait to see how this turns out. Dont want to do the wiring for the swap just yet but have a ea82 wagon out front just itching for major lift w/ t-case w/ ej swap.

Kenny and I are working on the T-case car looks like 9" lift may be a while

Engine Adapter $188





manifold still under development

Just a curiosity question, but why would you go with a carb and disty instead of using the stock ej fuel and spark?

Just a curiosity question, but why would you go with a carb and disty instead of using the stock ej fuel and spark?

to keep the wiring simple and durable, with this setup all you need is one wire to the distributer and a fuel line to the carb, it makes putting a newer engine into a older car that much simpler, no wiring harness to modify, no sensors or computer to set up and wire, granted to get the highest preformance out of a newer fuel injected engine you go with the electronics, with this setup as long as you have some juice in your battery and some gas you can drive the thing home,

[Reveeen]

I *think* if the airplane guys are going this way it makes more sense.

The downside is having to stock replacement parts, as carb and distributor parts are getting a little long in the tooth, and are not usually locally stocked at auto parts stores.

[dave valiant]

Thanks for the explanation Scott. Even though you arent getting maximum power with the carb and disty you should still be making alot more power than the ea82 was.

Right!!

for offroad the low end tourque or the EJ with a Carb will be way better then the stock EA with Fuel Inject

[bratsrus1]

Hey Guys This is Jerry, have you look on the Aussie board on mini jet boat racing. They use the 2.2 with the carb to get more power because with the fuel injection you can only go so big well with the carb you can go bigger larger jets larger carb more ponies. Like Scott is talking about old school simple and away we go. Thanks Jerry

[Uberoo]

Yea carbs are simpler but I like it when my engine doesnt stall or die because of fuel starvation when on a hill.

[Scott in Bellingham]

OK decided to go with the white car on this, marron car sits, heres the car



pulled the engine out Saturday as the timing belt had broke, the water pump had been leakin and the oil guage had been readin zero, got the EJ 2.2 installed with a adapter and redrilled flywheel, removed the intake and all the engine sensors and wiring harness, and installed the ford Escort disributor got some pictures will post later, this is going to go quick as Im taking the car wheelin at Walker Valley this coming Saturday, so next is to modify the intake to take the weber,this is going to be a busy week , some are coming by Tuesday evening to help even if Im up till 2:00 in the morning out in the shop Friday night this will be ready for Saturday, SJR

Scott, just for the record Will and I are coming up after you get off work I might come up a bit earlier since I found an EJ22 up in your area, so I might pick that up and then run over to your place after that. Hope everything goes together nicely. What time will you get to your house at I'll try and meet you at the same time you pull up at your place!!!!!!
