I just hooked it to a power for when the key is cranking and in the on position you don't want power to it all the time or it wont shut off when you turn the key of and if left hooked up with the car off it will burn up the coil pack. I'm not to sure on the gauge wires i cut my harness to just be for the engine and left the stock bulk harness in the car. glad to hear it fired up i was super exited the first time i got mine to fire up. Cheers R.

148 in my old legacy wagon not stock down hill top gear pushingthe rev limiter. abandoned highway. cheers R.

There is no real need for that little cover just so you know lol. Cheers R.

If you are getting power to the coil you should be getting spark when you crank it unless your engine is not grounded then it wont start. you can always try a jumper wire to the yellow on the coil and crank it to see if it fires. cheers r

I had this same issue with my first EJ swap IIRC there are 3 wires coming from the Coil pack Red,Blue,Yellow the yellow one needs power when the key is cranking and in the on position. I just jumped a hot to it to see if the car would start and sure enough VROOOM then i just ran a wire from the key to the power wire for the coil and it worked fine. Cheers R.

Yes exactly as twitch stated the ea82 have a hollow cam case on each side making it as wide if not wider than the EJ. The SOHC, DOHC EJs are actually close to the same width as the cams sit on top of each other. I was exited to see that it sat as close to where the NA EJ2.2 did so the radiator will fit perfect and after i swap the fuel pump in i am on a fast track to firing this bad boy up Cheers R.

ok got the engine and trans in and bolted together and got the starter to kick on by jumping it i couldnt get it to kick over through the harness but i think thats because i didn't have the park safety switch on. Pics of tasty ej20H goodness Cheers R.

One ground should be plenty for the ECM it would be a good idea to put at least 2 from the engine,trans to the body then one good one from the body to the - on the battery. Cheers R.

Had another blowout on the legacy drivers rear and it was actually quite spectacular the tread completly ripped off and the tire blew off the rim sounded like a shot gun went off inside the car. It was strange because melissa (my gf) and i had went to sunnyside to get a bunny (she breeds bunnys) i decided not to take the freeway and take the yakima highway after the tire blew i got out and found that i hadn't put the jack back in the trunk so as i am getting back in the car to call for help this guy is walking across the yard of the house we stopped in front of after a second look i notice i know him from the speed motorsports motorcycle shop here in union gap lol i pull the car into his driveway and he lends me a jack to put my spare on. As we left i thought how lucky i am to just happen to blow a tire in front of a house surrounded by a vineyard in BFE and already know the guy that lives there lol small world. Cheers R.

the i had the cross member in the car but when i went to put the engine in it sat in the mounts and was still 4 inches away from the trans i tried to get it to mate up but it was no go the crrossmember sets the trans to far back. Cheers R.

Ok just got back from working on the brat pulled the XT6 CM out and set it next to the EA82T CM sure enough its a good 3 or 4 inches shorter than the XT6 one. With the engine out i test fit the turbo CM on the EJTT and it fit perfect on the passenger side i made a cardboard temp of the passenger side indentation and marked it on the drivers side then cut it out with a torch and the Turbo CM fit the new engine like a glove i got it drilled out to accept the XT6 control arms and bolted it all together at this point it was getting dark there is only so much work one man can get done at a time lol. But i have set a goal to have this engine running by the First of next month i'm crossing my fingers that i don't hit any more major obstacles. Once i get it running then i can start to assemble the steering,exhaust,wiring ect. Pics to come when i get something more interesting done Cheers R.

lol thanks Earl im going to work on it some today get the crss member swapped out so i can mate the engine, trans back up and get it to turn over using the factory harness. cheers R.

well worked on getting the trans in today good god what a pig that 4eat is and since the brat is an 89 it fits perfectly just need to make a trans mount i don't have one for a wide tunnel ea car just the narrow style might just take the ej and ea ones i have and make one that works still not sure. Then a minor setback and i am kicking myself in the rump roast because i know someone posted on it in this thread i need to swap out the XT6 cross member for a normal ea82 style due to the engine mounts being about 4 inches to far forward. So thats the update Cheers R

Worked with the harness today got it kinda worked to where it will be when i put the dash back together and i actually found a JDM wiring harness for this so i can get the ignition wiring hooked up then get the trans plumed in and radiator i can fire this baby up or try to... Cheers R

After looking at it more there are writeups on ej swaps, rear disk swaps, carb to EFI ect. Cheers R.

Hey everyone wile looking for a wire diagram for my EJ20H swap i found this on the AUsubaru forums http://jdmfsm.info/Auto/Japan/Subaru/ it has a huge selection of harness diagrams and FSM i just got all the info i will need for my swap hope it will help someone out. Mods can we get a sticky? Cheers R.

I am using the complete harness this engine came with everything from the legacy all the plugs, fuse boxes (with fuses) down the the battery cables all i will need to do is splice the ignition leads with the stock ignition and plug everything in. I am going to be laying it out today i will get some pictures. Cheers R.

worked on the G3 brat today and got the engine in all the way i danced a small jig quite like this but then it was getting dark so i had to bag it for the night and i forgot my camera soooo pics will need to wait till tomorrow. Now that i have it so it fits the next step is to put the trans in and start making the steering and breaks work. then fitting in the wiring witch is probably going to be the easiest part Cheers R.

i'm not following the random pictures you keep posting i get they are EJ20h parts but not sure otherwise. Cheers R.

wow i read this thread and you did a really great job with both cars sorry aboput the first one i had that happen but the new one looks great. Cheers R.

I plan to wrap the down pipe with header tape and make a heat shield for it but it should be ok i won't know till i try Cheers R.

Thanks for the support everyone in my research anytime i come across someone wanting to do this swap they are bombed with negativity instead of ideas on how to work around the obstacles. So on that note with a little brain storming with (bratsrus1) i think we might have figured out how to rout the steering and i will show you our idea with my mad paint skillz. Since this car is going back to an automatic where the clutch pedal once lived is now open and where the cable came through the firewall is clear of the turbo,The rack input shaft comes out at an angle clearing under the down pipe. So the plan is to shorten the steering column so it ends inside the firewall make a bracket to hold it in place and run a u-joint to run the steering shaft out the old clutch cable hole then another u-joint with a lengthened shaft to the rack, everything is pictured below in my perfect to scale drawing the lower steering shaft (yellow line) is going to be UNDER the turbo. Now i might need to notch the frame if the lengthened steering shaft hits but i wont know till i try it. So thats the plan so far i really think its coming along even only being few days into it lol again thanks for the positive feedback i couldn't do a lot of this without the support of the people on this board. Cheers R.

well somehow the tranny drain plug in my legacy came out and i lost all my gear oil .... not sure how or when but i got lucky and caught it before i did any damage phweew. I am also glad to say i am making good progress on the EJ20H brat swap check out my thread for details http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=116818 < last few pages. Cheers R.

uh thanks? lol Ok good news i got the engine in... well mostly it is in the landing pads on the cross member but not sitting all the way in to get it this far i had to um... modify the cross member so the up pipes will clear it i still have some modifying to do but its just about perfect. The remote BMC looks like it will fit just fine (on paper) but we know how that works out we will see. I am working on a way of modifying the steering to clear the down pipe and looking at it with the engine in seems like it will be simple the input shaft on the rack clears just fine but the output for the steering column goes straight into the down pipe, more on this as it develops but i think i have it figured out. Juicy pics straight off the digi for your delight. enjoy Cheers R.
