So i wana run a ea not ej any one have an adappter plate laying around? i hear that you just redrill the vw flywheel to ea and ive seen the 400$ aluminum plates but ive seen others that are 25-50$ steel plates thats the one i need

Thank you! Success with your Bosch part number. Rough cold start, warm no start, warm idling at 2k all fixed with this part. Took my dremel and cut away the plastic enclosure, then soldered on the pigtail from the old OEM sensor. CEL code 21 cleared. I tested this sensor with hot water/room temp and the impedance measurements were not exactly a match for what the book says. Bosh part was 5k at 32f (book says around 3k), and 400ohm at 150f (book shows 500ohm). Close enough that the ECU is happy. Thanks again!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!!!

Merry Christmas back at ya! Hope everyone has a safe and happy Holiday Season, regardless of what holiday you celebrate.

On a turbo model you must use a gasket with a fire ring like a head gasket. If you use the waffle style gaskets this will always happen. People really don't understand that you always have pre-turbine exhaust manifold pressure. A "good" turbo will be about 2:1 ratio. Poor inefficient turbos can be 3:1 or higher. So that 7 psi in your intake manifold translates to at least 14 psi in your exhaust manifold and maybe more. That's 14 psi of 900 to 1300 degree exhaust gasses at WOT. Gaskets without fire rings will NOT work here. GD

Progress on the speedomater head Here's the back when I started. Note the back of the speedo unit poking out of the box on the right side half in pic. IMG_2962 by Dans Subaru, on Flickr Here's the unit broken down with The electronic speedo head installed. Note the amazingly conveniently placed screw in the top right of the speedo arc. Tiny pilot hole and a scavenged tiny trim screw and it's perfect. Thank Subaru!

I simply drilled holes in the plastic directly over the new speedo units screw/mounting holes where the plastic trace makes its electric connections to the unit. All nicely labeled on the board, although I didn't get pics of that. Check out the convienient location of the ground pin that allowed me to use the XT6 trace. I will probably run a jumper from the actual wire to a new ring terminal direct just in case. But I thought thanks again Subaru! IMG_2971 by Dans Subaru, on Flickr And pics of the Tach swap, 6cyl to 4cyl. 2 units side by side. I swapped just the Tach unit because the gauges in the 4 cyl cluster had some significant corrosion, so I opted to keep the better ones form the car. Hopefully the tach works. this part was a direct swap requiring only a screw driver. IMG_2966 by Dans Subaru, on Flickr Testing soon to come. Still have to attach the wires for the Speedo. Should be no problem, although I might want to make a few spacers to slide in under the plastic. There is a gap that won't ever pull tight, and I don't want tension on the connections to the board. So some work there still. I'll get pics before it goes back in of the final wiring. Gotta find a Dropping restior pack for the trans!

84 GL wagon 4spd D/R 4wd Newly installed EJ18 from 95? Impreza. ECU, intake and harness from a 93 Legacy. 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. 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. Upper : Lower : EJ and EA Alt harnesses mated. Sodlered a pigtail on the EJ harness to plug EA body wires into. EJ fan control interupted and run through Double Throw W/center off switch controling ground side of fan relay. Fan can be defeated, Turned on, or ECU controlled depending on this switch.
