well the engine number is as follows EA82TDX KC-W and gearbox is TX86K3FJGA-XK. can anyone tell me what year this engine is? and how do i distinguish the difference between the 2 looms :S thanks guys

i found a complete ea82t engine for around Au$500 but is minus loom and ecu... i rang the wreckers and found a loom, but aparently there are two looms that are different. will either loom fit the motor and if not, what do i have to look for to identify what loom i need for the specific motor... thanks

so: Motor ECU Exhaust Wiring harness from the dash forward Crossmember radiator what else?

well i dont intend having it as a performance car that handles like a go cart, my wrx is for that i just want it to have more power, and for it to put a bit of a grim on peoples faces, they hear it, expecting a wrx is coming down the road. so you are saying pretty much all i need to do is buy the engine, loom and ecu to complete the swap? or what other under bonnet bits and pieces may i need. i just wanna know what i'm getting myself into, rather then buying a motor and coming across all these extra costs i didnt expect.. thanks for all of your info.. p.s. if the 5 stud conversion is fairly simple/ cheap i may also do that, as i have 19 inch and 16 inch wrx wheels, which i can use...

what about gearbox, diff, cv joints etc? can i use my dual range 5 speed box or do i need to change to the 'box that belongs with the turbo motor? if i have to change the gearbox, will i have to change the rear diff to suit the new gearing if its any different... oh and i intend changing exhaust (my cousin owns an exhaust shop) and maybe installing a top mounted intercooler being fed through a wrx scoop... maybe a large-ish top mount like a gtir intercooler to occupy the whole spare tyre well.. finally what kind of performance difference would i be expecting, and would i need to change any of the suspension or braking to suit the extra performance?

i have done a search but cannot find the exact answers i am looking for... i have a GL Wagon, whilst it is only a work car (my toy car is a modded wrx), i want to do an engine swap soon... the original ea82 has done 340,000kms and is feeling a bit tired and worn out now... what i want to do, is the ea82t swap.. what modifications/ parts do i need to purchase for me to complete this conversion.... it will be a 2-3 month conversion, as i have a lot of time to myself after work, with the help of a friend whos a quailified mechanic. my car: 88 subaru gl wagon, ea82 carby with 5 spd dual range gearbox 4wd. thanks heaps guys
