it will work just take the shrader valves out of the compression guage hose

I would not go as far to say its the worst engine they ever made mine is still running at 315,000 miles and running strong only had to reseal the rear main and valve covers once and the water pump just started leaking i left the stock one on just to see how long it would last since it is so easy to do a timing belt on any subaru. i have owned 1.8 2.2 and 2.5 and 2.0 and i say they are all decent engines depending on application and needs.

Hey Gloyale thanks for the input, when you say "You could do a 2 inch kit, and include the crossmember spacers and control arm mounts from teh outback". Are you saying that if i add those parts to my current setup that i will gain an additinal 2" of lift? Thanks Again Jordan

Hello everyone, I've recently been wondering if it would be possible to get a 4" or 2" lift kit and install it on my 94 Impreza L along with my forester struts that are already installed. I know it was a tight squeeze getting those struts in there so im guessing its not possible just curious if anyone else has tryed it. Thanks Jordan

Hello everyone and good day. I know this is a dreadful question that has probably been asked before but here i go any how. What is the difference between a ea82 P\T D\R and a F\T once the P\T has been put into 4wd? Does the P\T have a lower "low range" and which one would be better for an offroad rig? Thanks Jordan

Thanks for the advice i joined over there today, you wouldnt wanna come off your ej d/r now would you? lol

I appreciate all of your input and patience! I believe Im going to go with combo one, I still have alot of parts to aqcuire but once i have everything Ill be sure to document the swap for the users of USMB to enjoy! Thanks Jordan

Did you find it on a web page or what any info would be appreciated. Thanks Jordan

Ok thanks.

There was a little misunderstanding between me and the other party im going to be purchasing this trans off of. Its actually a P\T trans with the 4h 4l and FWD options(5sp), I believe its out of a dl but not sure. I have read through your entire thread but i cant remeber what trans you used im assuming it was a P\T due to your last post. Im a little confused on which way to go with this project I would like to use an e82 DR but still retain my subys stock 4.11 final drive. I've heard rumors that it might be possible to remove the transfer box from te EA and mate it to the EJ front diff case. Its either give that a try or find a F\T trans and try the same swap you did and see how it goes. Any one know of anyone with a e82 F\T that they are trying to get read of?

The trans im about to purchase is a 5sp ea82 D\R with the 4h 4l and FWD. Would it be possible to put an ej 5sp 4.11 diff in this trans?

Sounds like it would be worth a try ill have to look into it more. Where did you find an EJ D\R if i could find one of them i would just buy it instead of going through all the trouble of mateing the e82 box on my ej diff case.

Can you get an adapter plate to mount the e82 box to the center diff of the EJ trans or is there other means of going about it? Who has tryed this is there an old post on this topic?

I see so the P\T is a 4 speed and the FT is a 5, im new to these old subaru parts so excuse me for not knowing. My plans are to put the e82 trans in my 94 Imp L so here is another question for you if you dont mind. Which trans would you recommend for off road use the FT or the PT? Or are they both relativly the same?

Do you have to use the Ft4x4 D\R or can you use the P\T?

Yeah I figured welding it wouldnt be the best idea . I Might just try the swap and pray she holds up :banana:lol.

I was considering doing a similar swap, takeing the diff, pinion gears,rings etc out of my 94 Imp 5sp trans and puting them into a e82 FT D\R trans that im about to acquire. After reading this thread im haveing secound thoughts, can the drive pinion be removed from the EJ shaft and welded onto a EA shaft? Has anyone else done this swap with success?

So what you are saying is I can take the diff out of my 94 Imprezas 5 speed S\R trans(4.11), implant it into my E82 5spd D\R trans as long as i swap the pinon gears as well as the rings?

I've got all the adapters and what not to make this swap work... What im trying to figure out is if i can take the diff out of my imprezas single range transmission and put it into my e82 dual range transmission before i put the D/R trans in my car. That way i dont have to change anything in the rear diff and i retain my stock 4.11 final drive.

What im geting at is im looking to take the trans out of my impreza to swap the dr trans. Im just looking to take the open diff out of my >US Impreza (AWD) MY94TY752VX3CA3.5451.9471.3660.9720.780N/A3.4161.0004.111Viscous (4kgf)Open and put it in my E82 DR 5MT. Can that be done?

So after reading all 17 pages im still a little lost... Im wanting to take the front diff or carrier out of my 94 impreza L 1.8 FT AWD 5MT and put it into a E82 DR 5MT Non Turbo Trans. I have an experienced mechanic friend to help me my question is can it be done. I know the subject has been torn through with a fine toothed comb but im still a little confused. Thanks

I have a 94 impreza sedan and i had no trouble using the Forester Struts and Springs. yea the rear was hard to connect back to the struct but plus you have some fairly high tention springs back there expecially if they are new out of the box. But it can be done. I did it in about 3 hours. I reused the assembly for the top that i had already had for the impreza struts and springs. I get no noises from driving it and they perform just fine.

Im going ahead and putting my M/Ts on this weekend. Ill try to get a pic on here

We trade work for work with machine shops. I work in a performance shop so i think the machining and flywheel redrilling wont be a problem. I will probably just buy the adapter plate. I already knew about those things. I will make my own Crossmember

I think i can find a way to do a air locker ill let you all know what happens when i get the diff. My boss said i could deffinitally do it
