Thats a really nice AWD Swift!! I would vote for a mildly boosted G13B for an engine swap. Why are you from?
Matt

Have you devised a way to get around the major difference in lenght between the FT4WD and legacy pinion? I am in the process of swapping a FT4WD center diff onto a EJ AWD box and the pinions are about 4.5" different in length. I would love any answer, and also could get pictures if needed.
Matt
Yup, although you could possibly do this same swap using a Legacy pinion and a FT4wd Locking diff and tailshaft section. -
Did anybody actually get a FT4WD locking diff working on a EJ AWD box? I have both of them apart and the pinion shafts are greatly different in length. I rember reading about a extension shaft(?) for the pinion, but mine is all one piece. I have already swapped the stubs over to 23 splines, but would like the locking differential.
If anybody would like pictures of the inside of either transmission I have both of them all apart, and would be happy to take some.

Is that a TT rear Disco I spy there:banana:. Possibly for proper Subaru turn around.....

I had a ER-27 in my 85 wagon for a total of 6 days, granted it was neat and a pain to just get located in the engine bay I liked it(probably b/c it was different and I was able to keep a radiator in the front of the engine with the stock grill). But I am way happier with my EJ-22T in there. There is actually room to work on the engine, easy to remove, radiator with clearance on both sides, cheaper, lighter, more reliable, easy parts...... But yes go for it, it is a great engine with piles of torque and a great sound.

You should of ran into a fuel cut at 15 psi. after a couple seconds of high boost, so I would check the map sensor. Also I ran a EA-82T pump for a bit on my EJ-22T swap and it would not keep up with the engine if I pushed it at all. I just swaped to a Walbro 255LPH external pump and that keeps up all day long

There was a "thing" called a Chevette diesel (in reality a 1.8L Isuzu 3 cylinder) in the early 80's that might merit a look (if you can find one). Pretty rare at the time, and rarer now, they worked fairly well.
Sorry but it was a four cylinder, and a little to big for the Justy. Infact longer than a VW 1.6 litre.
I have thought about running a three cylinder Kubota or anything diesel for a while but cant find any locally without a new tractor attached. I will be following this very closely to see your results.

Did you get this resolved yet? I just found this thread and see Tony randomly so I can get the message across.

Is it a FI engine? If so check the wires coming right out of the plug from the disty, usually on the chassis side there is a broken 'crank angle sensor' wire that make the idle rough and throws an CEL.
So ThreeEyedBandit if you have some experience, dimensions, or tolerances to share that would be very helpful and appreciated. I have a couple extra housing plates I wouldn't mind refurbishing.I have never done it personally(but have lost three engines two from oil issues, one from to much boost), but a local guy that builds some of the smoothest quietest EF12's I have ever seen does it. Now the only problem is I cant get ahold of him(no phone number), so if I can manage to find him I will get some specs.

Was this a subaru designed engine or who?? It's a crazy little creation.
Yes it is, I will argue this until sombody can find me some sort of solid facts that they at least stole the idea from suzuki:)(which they might have, but thats like arguing the subaru stol the idea from VW, but I am not going there thats what the locals are for:cool: ). Now after 1994 it was all suzuki, which is sad since thats what it took to make the engine reliable.
so where can I find a oil pump rotor?
The dealer can get them, somewere I have the SOA numbers for everything. My dealership was being a pain and wouldn't even order them with my good numbers, so I got them from 1stsubaruparts.com.
Now when you do the oil pump look at the old shaft and see it it is all grooved, then you NEED to sleeve the housing and even think about drilling a oil groove/port for the shaft.
Matt
-
Just some information on the oil pump, you don't need to pull the engine to replace the rotor and outer. It is real easy to do in the car. Now as far as the oil pump you need to either sleeve the housing were the pump gets driven or replace the housing(expensive and 2 in the country).

That freaking sucks man. Just got it running and now this. If you decide that you what another engine I have a free to you EA-82 that ran great when taken out of my turbo car. Still that sucks and I would snatch that up if it was closer.

Thats weird my 82, 84, 85 wagon and 87 RX don't do that. The only time is when the engine is spinning. Now the pulsing fuel pump only happened when the check/test connector on the ECU was connected. So something weird is happening. note: the pulsing would happen when connectors were connected on my 85 wagon, 87 RX, 91 Justy, and 90 N/A legacy and 91 T-Leg.
Matt
this is because you're is an 83 and its supposed to do that. My old RX would cycle the fuel pump without it running all day long. Its the way it was designed. -
Yours has probably been mokeyed with at some point, from what I have seen. But I have seen some pretty strange stuff over the year so I don't know.
Matt
Not to highjack Sako's thread.But did Subaru change this at some point?
My fuel pump starts running the moment you turn the key to run position. I could kill my battery just by running the pump without ever starting the car. (but why would I want to, just an example)
Wonder if someone along the line modified mine.....

Mark are you going to be around this evening? I can swing by after work and help you do a quick bit of wiring if you want.

There is a 'small' 25 spline EA-82 turbo DOJ cup that will swap onto a EA-81, of non turbo EA-82 axle. I dont know what they are stock on but I know my RX had one(OEM) and have seen one other at the junkyard. I think that the stub axle swap would be a better choice, that way you could just run stock axles.

It's about freakin time

I have the RX minus engine w/complete exhaust system.
Will the EA82T radiator be enough to keep things cool?
also is there a turbo gauge or boost sensor on the EJ22T ECU? I wasn't able to find one on the diagram that I have.
I will keep your all posted about the progress.

I dont know about the EA-82T radiator, is it a two core? The engine pressure sensor for the EJ-22T is on the passanger strut tower along with the Pressure exchange solenoid and wastegate control solenoid. All on a neat little bracket.

I am indeed running a EJ-22T in a 1985 Wagon.

Thanks for the information, I didn't know the made thw walbro in an external mount. But I think I am going to go for a VW CIS pump as I can get new ones for cheap.
Matt

I had a ER-27 in my 85 wagon. The major obsticles were, getting the engine in without the transmission attached as it is so long, But removing the upper core support worked like a champ. And it needed it anyway as my nonstock alternator and PS pump would almost run into it. And for a radiator I ran a VW rabbit radiator, and it worked equally as well as my 4.0 liter jeep radiator in the back of my 84 wagon with the same engine. Yes the 5 speed will bolt up to the er-27 also.
Matt

What fuel pumps are people running on there Turbo EJ swapped cars? Right now I am running a plain old Turbo FI pump and it is slowy dying so I want to replace it. What are you all running for fuel pumps?
-
Sorry about that, I snapped to the wrong point. The original post has a correct pic. and I will look around to see if I have any hubs laying around.

On my old 79 wagon, i just re-clocked the backing plate by drilling three new holes in it. So that everything would clear the trailing arm.

I know this is from the way back machine, but what is this pinion extender from? It is the last key to my puzzle I cant find.
