welcome to the world of buying a rebuilt EA82T. Apparently whoever did the rebuild (about 60k ago) used aftermarket head gaskets and not Subaru ones. Even a built EA82T isn't going to offer me what an EJ can. Thats reliability. In all honesty its less about the power and more about that. I bought the wagon as kind of my "snoboarding wagon" I want something thats not going to leave me stuck, In a very cold cold snowy place.

Got any particulars for that swap ? whats all needed, what engines will drop in, what I need to do to get it to fit? I think I would rather rock the full time AWD myself. the whole pushbutton setup has always been a bit "iffy" for me. Wont engage when I really want/need it to etc etc. also from what I can tell I want to avoid the DOHC EJ25's unless I like doing a HG job?

humm well I'm gonna keep the hope alive that I find a decent 5 speed EJ22T while I save up a bit more money but I guess if its the end of summer and I can't find one I'll have to do an 22e.

How much do adapter plates run ? I've already got a "stage 2" custom clutch for my Ea82 motor its kevlar blah blah. so I THINK it might be able to hold the power. I was more worried about the pushbutton 4wheel drive tranny. are the 22e's closed deck's like the 22t's ?

Alright alright I think you guys have convinced me. Go with an EJ22e for now hey at least I wont have to pay for 91 right ? I've been keeping my eyes peeled on craigs list where else should i be looking for a nice EJ22 donor car?

I would really rather just drop in a EJ22T and leave the engine alone rather then building together an turbo setup from an EJ22e. And I really REALLY don't want to be using a 4EAT I'd rather get rid of the car then drive it auto. The only problem I can find with the EJ22T is the lack of 5 speed transmissions / swappable options. Will a EJ22e transmission have any hope of holding up to the extra 30-40 crank horsepower the 22T is going to put out ? obviously a new clutch would be key to that. Does anyone know of a good clutch option that would work for this? 86BRATMAN you mentioned using a 2.5RS clutch, would that require a RS flywheel too ?

Sweet! thanks man thats exactly what I needed to hear. I'm guessing I can get my hands on a 5 speed N/A 2.2 transmission for a lot cheaper then I could one of the series 2 ej transmissions. YAY for cable transmissions. Anyone got a guess price on how much an Ej22 N/A transmission and rear diff would set me back?

Well the main reason I want the turbo is cause well I'm a big fan of turbos I like em, And I'd really hate to waste the Exhaust setup I have right now. if the N/A EJ22 can handle 300hp like you say what about the transmission? I was told the N/A transmission wasn't anywhere near as good as the EJ22T one and wouldn't even accept the same clutches. I'd really like to go with an EJ22T the only real hang up is only being able to find auto ones. I really just need to find a cheap transmission alternative to go with the 2.2

well as some of you know my head gaskets = fail. 27 miles of TD04 + 280zx turbo injectors. Woe is me. I think something might also be wrong with my oil pump. Anyway now I'm looking at the once again dead wagon in my driveway and not knowing what I should do. Here are the facts I've got a ton of EA82 parts. really I've got almost 2 whole turbo setups (turbo+manifold 1 stock and 1 td04) 2 spider intakes 2 stock EA82T intakes 5 Sets of 4x140 wheels. 1 welded onto the car (well over the rear axle anyway) 3 inch turbo back exhaust. and 1 heart with no love for the EA82 motor anymore. I'm sure its a great motor for most. But I guess I fall into that dreaded "want more power" category. And 1 problem money. I've got no problem spending most/all of my money on my car its my hobbie/passion I just feel like all this EA82T stuff has kind of been a waste. I should of gone with an EJ swap from the start. Oh well live and learn right? My requirements are fairly simple: EJ, 5 speed, turbo, able to use my TD04 turbo or have a turbo that will bolt onto my downpipe. Power really only needs to be say above 150hp. What motors am I looking at ? I've looked at EJ20G's they seem a bit expensive. So I looked at EJ22T's and they seemed like it might be cheaper or it might be more. So experienced guys whats your "advice" I don't think I "need" the power of the EJ20G but if its the better bang for my buck it might be the way to go. Finding an EJ22T+5 speed seems like it could be a bit tricky and sourcing out another 5 speed+rear diff to work with it might be kind of hard. sorry for the the long post and thanks for reading it / any ideas you have. Cliff notes: EA82T blown up, Want an EJ turbo, which one is best?

unbolt the two 14mm engine mount bolts jack up the engine/transmission. that will give you the clearance you need.

I've got a TD04 turbo, 280zx injectors and a spider intake. and I'm running lean at idle? how is this possible I was suspecting to be running pig rich do to the injectors. I just hooked up my narrowband to try and get an "idea" whats going wrong. and it started up and it was at the very last bar before lean. as the engine temp went up it got a little richer. Now I may have a bad FPR I'm gonna replace it tomorrow any other ideas what could be causing this ?

I had a hard day of things not going right with the wagon today my buddy sent me this . Cheered me right up and got me in the mood to get back to work. My wagon is my impossible dream its constant problems are my unbeatable foe This is my quest To follow that star No matter how hopeless No matter how far Just incase someone else needed some motivation to get out there and "do work"

sweeet no I did rotate it but i had to switch it back to the stock orentation (tps didn't clear one of my intercooler pipes) the top one was already capped off thanks thats all I needed to know

its the one on the right that goes under the white wire and yellow tape its hooked up to the bottom of my throttle body

I find out that I am as I should of known a crappy welder. Thus my TD04 flange on my manifold is leaking like a sinking ship. Is anyone around the olympia area a good enough welder to get the job done ? or does anyone have a EA82T manifold with a td04 flange they want to sell me ? IDK really what else to do at that point. I need some motivational posters right now but the only ones I have are from despair.com

rofl:lol:

VROOM VROOM!

HAHA everything (mostly) is hooked up right as rain we have lift off

I'm also getting an ecu code of 21 ? "21 Coolant Temperature Sensor or Circuit " that right?

so I can't figure out where these go for the life of me if you know any please help, you'll be my new BFF. A. Just checking if that setup is ok or do I need to T it into the BOV on my intercooler? B. the vac line that comes from around the brake booster does it need a T it had one there when I got the car. Is that plugged into the right spot on the spider manifold? C & D both come off of the top plug in the manifold later named H. On the mani I got from tex its seen as above. Where do those 2 need to be pluged into? On the mani from russ its plugged. Help ?? E. The whole line that comes out of that (dillyhopper) where does it go? I know I. Goes to the (dillyhopper) above but what about the rest of them? O. I think this goes into my intake before the turbo after the MAF. Is that right? P. Is coming from the Fuel filter can anyone confirm where Q and R go ? S. Finally this wire, I have no idea where it goes I can't see anything unplugged in that area. Any ideas ? thanks a ton in advance guys, I couldn't of even gotten this far without help from everybody.

I've got 3" turbo back although "back" is a relative term... http://www.toshcari.com/Drdoom/IMG_0206.jpg thats as far "back" as it goes

Oh I got that from the good people at HKS, Homie hookups rock. Thanks man hopefully she'll be running by next week sometime. umm if you come get it hell I'll let it go muffler and all for $10 or maybe we can get some parts trading action going. I can't think of anything I NEED right now but I know there's something

just put mine on if anybody wants my old setup its only cut in 2 places so wouldn't be hard to weld back together I'll let it go for next to nothing td04 flange and stock ea82t flange included 02 sensor MAY be shot, it kinda got ruffed up.

&*%Q# yes you need the pitch stopper. TRUST me. Check the plugs like Dave said (I made both the harness and the pitch stopper mistakes today)
