The Scooby Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 well i got the SJR adapter kit, brought home my new 98 EJ22E engine from work today, bolted up the adapter plate and that was about it for tonight before it was too dark. gonna get the FI loyale fuel pump from work tomorrow so i can swap that in. then start pulling out my old EA82 engine and trying to fit in a legacy radiator. hope to drop in the EJ sunday sometime then get everything hooked up and wait for the arrival of my new engine harness from chux i think tomorrow ill do the nose job (timing belt, water pump, seals) as well as the kidney gasket and rear main.

Skip Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Nice camera, and more importantly nice work with it. Thank you so kindly sir for resizing the pictures before posting. It's way kewl to see some one helping with pictures and being so kewl as to not let them blow off the screen. Please do keep us updated. killer price on the Hellas I have them on all my drivers. The driving light style work great when wired to come on with the high beam. They fit in the Outback fog light hole perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scooby Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 no problem skip, i know it bugs the crap out of me when i have to scroll around on my laptop just to see the subaru emblem because its so large so i try to be considerate about it. and ya ive never had a set of lights that where worth a dam so when i saw these for $39 i had to get them. might be getting another set in yellow fog for our crappy seattle weather.

The Scooby Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 thanks ya i take ALOT of pictures as i do projects like this one, because i am a very visual person so it helps me alot if i was someone else and saw them doing this i would want alot of pictures as well. anyways tonight didn't get much done, got my intake manifold from my work as well as the cam, crank, and knock sensors and installed. also got the intake piping, MAF, and air box. brought home a header but it was bent and didn't see it until i tried to install it. so, tomorrow ill send the wiring to chux, get another exhaust manifold and install, pick up the intake manifold gaskets and install the intake and intake tubing/box. then ALT and belt (still have to find one since im only running a ALT and no PS or AC. then stop by and get a aftermarket slim fan for the engine, thinking 600CFM will be enough.

86ruguy Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 As i'm sure you're aware. The motor you're using is OBD II. LOTS of differences with the wiring. However, I am very jealous as this is the model of car that I did my EJ22 swap on several years ago and then sold to my brother. When you get the exhaust done, go with 2.5 inch, it makes it sound really cool. Mine had the cheaper version of a flow master on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scooby Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 i know the long block is OBD2, i work on subaru's for a living so i know all about them. but im using a 94 wiring harness and intake manifold so that makes it OBD1. im going to make a custom exhaust manifold because this is the single port exhaust and go to a 2.25inch exhaust.

Numbchux Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Does the OBD1 system make it a lot easier to do the swap? not really. the OBD II uses slightly more wires, and a couple extra sensors (MAP and some solenoid on the passenger strut tower...), and WILL NOT work correctly without a VSS. but the way the harness is laid out, it's much easier to install.
