HATCHY

I ALSO forgot to mention i see a erg motor and non egr. i would assume usdm is egr regualted because of emissions? the intakes look completely different on these jdm engines.

I have a 2000 legacy with the 2.5 in it. well shes tired and leaking oil and burning oil like SOB. So its time for a refresh. Reading a ton about the JDM na 2.0 sohc. I dont care about losing the power and low end, whatever Its slow a car anyway. So I hear a ton of mixed incidents. GOOD BAD AND NIGHTMARE. From what im getting is that you have to swap all the gears under the timing cover and the intake manifold off the ej25 and swap it on the 2.0 and it should run just fine with 0 codes being thrown. I Have to take emissions cant be fighting codes. Then i hear that with that sohc 2.0 you want to change the head gaskets immediately and now that the timing belt is off you might as well get a new timing belt kit. So now im at 800$ plus tax for the engine. 150. on the head gasket plus time. 200 for a decent quality timing belt kit. might as well since its open and accessible. So now im at shoot 12 1300$. . are parts easily available for this engine? is it worth the headache? So then i found a couple low mile jdm 2.5s. 1400$ and some up to 2000$ my main question would be after all this rambling would my ecu run a jdm 2.5 if i decide to go the faster route? im more wanting to spend a little extra for a faster foolproof engine swap. I dont want to open engines and spend all the time. THis is my daily i want to be back on the road As fast as possible. thanks for reading this ramble! maybe even send me a link to something that can help thanks

87 hatch , oem fuel pump went bad, upon changing this, noticed the hard lines were rotted out and nasty, changed them to all fuel linesinstead of metal line,, I installed a out of package fuel pump from shucks, since mine is out of tank which is kind of nice. That one lasted about 6 months, Installed another one from somewhere else , It just died after 4 months.. What the heck, stock fuel pump went over 220,000 these ones last 5k tops. Any idead for a good universal pump ,that wont break the bank?

My buddy's brat . Has.been driving fine then all of a sudden, it.started choking out in hills and when secondaries open, gasping like out.of gas . Now we are on a incline and we cant move. It takes off and dies . Any ideas, we are getting.fuel, very recent tune up , filters are clean,, we are 100 miles.from home

Ok so I disconnected the plug on tbe alternator. And battery light and all other guage lights are off. . So from what I'm gathering is that this is a problem in the wire.. looked the plug was a little gummed up too. I'm going to work on that. Thanks for the help fellas. Cheers

My car did not cone with tach. Hahah I diid disconnect battrty whule the car was running. It shut down. So ikk try a new alty again and see . Still getting 12 volts. Thanks fir all the help. Ill keep chipping away

I rigged up a fuel pump from shucks. The universal on in the box. I tgought it was goi g to be too big . But I hooked it up anyway. All my hardlines rusted out and broke. So I rigged up an assload of fuel hose. I actually think the beast fuel pump is better than stock. No issues flooding.

Yes I've tried three batterys and yes I have volt meter that's hiw I know I was only getting 12 volt charge. And yes my oil lamp and battery lamp come in when my ignition is on. I have by passed my igntion for push button start like 8 years ago. Never had a priblem with charge. I have to plug my car into a plug in the back of the column. I've went through all the wires and soldered them for longevity. So baffling. Terminals tight all wires into the terminal tight. My car doesnt have voltage regulator or anything.... . . . . Dangit

Yes I believe it only lights up when car is started. Ill check when I get home. ...

My lights don't get brighter when I step on gas. And rpm doesmt change the battery light either. Isnt the refulator and resistor built in. Cause it did it with a brand new alt

Only when rig starts up I believe. I can't remember.

Pretty sure burned out battery bulb wouldn't cause the car to not charge. I dint believe I even have a voltage regulator either. The 78 brat has one and the 81 wagon . But 85brat doesn't. And my standard I don't think has one either. Pissing me off I'm ready to drive it again.

Where's that . What is that? Battery bulb ??

I used to get the wrong exhaust gaskets everytime. I just started saying 83 brat for my 87st amd always got the right part. Kinda weird

I have a 87 hatch, I'm havingb issues with my charging I'm only getting 12.3volts. I've checked and went through all my grounds and tried two different alternators and batterys. That I know are good. And the other issue all my dash lights stay on . Egr stomp lamp parking break brake fluid etc. This happened by itself . I parked the car for 6 months and then fired it up

i dont think that fusable link will work, it looks too small. i need something like an inch or more wide.

when was this car there? i live up the hill. no one rape it until i do

im not sure that the heads are the same size. I think the ea82 is a bit wider. better off Going. to the uffler shop have them Fab You up some. I bought two pairs of equal length. headers. took away the nice Subaru rumble and gave me mile or two more a gallon. and way better response. worth it

my hatch has round headlights. people love it. 87std

im going to brier today. sometime. 425 923 0087 send me. text or Call me. and We can meet up. I appreciate it tons. or respond on this post. thank you

OK so I got my battery light and all warnings to go off. I ran the multimeter. only pulling 12.70 volts to the battery . i tried both my alternators which I know both are good. . then plugged my ignition in and went to start up again. WOW. what do You know no power tobthe ignition all accessories. work. opened the fusable link box the middle red one is fried. burnt in half. would this cause the power to not flow right? I think it happened when I forgot to disconnect. the battery when I started. taking the alternator off I made some sparks. .what do I do next. how can I find where the power is draining. im starting to get upset. since the car had no problem When I parked it besides bad gas.

Ok first off. Cougar. When i pull ignition fuse the whole car shuts down i was talking about the charge fuse. Second all warning lights are now off. It was a faulty crimp job on my part at the back of the alternator. Now the battery lights and warning lights are all off. But the headlights dont get brigjter with revs. Which makes me a little suspicios. But it says it charging. According to the dash. Lol. Thanks for the help. Im still gping to run the circut tester to be sure. Thanks fellas

thanks forbthe tips im going to dig out the circuit tester and try it out. appreciate. it hope this is is an easy fix
