The rumors of my untimely death are greatly exagerated... So after dealing with that damned sinus infection that wouldn't quit... And a cable modem failure that is still unresolved... I'm coming to you tonight from dial-up:dead: :dead:

And you thought what happened would kill a non interference ej22....

4B 1800 EA81 82 @ 4866 103 @ 2800 9.5:1 2bbl OHV 1985-87 4DR/Wagon DL should be ea82, not ea81

That thing looks good... Why did the PO give up on it?

Yeah, the donor car must be 4wd. And I think non turbo 2wd XT's were still rear drum brakes, at least the subie literature I have says they are.

Yeah, but you'll need the hubs, backing plates, calipers and brackets off an XT or ea82t car.

Statements like these make my heart bleed.... You might want to fab up a bar to attach those 4-points to. They need to be at shoulder level, not below or they will try to crush you when they are put into full effect.

Looks good Kyle, congrats man!!!

The ECS is the predacessor to the CEL. It simply stands for Engine Control System, as in there is something wrong with. Procedure should be the same as listed in the link I posted to the USRM, again execpt the XT ecu is in the trunk. All of the XT's we recieved were mpfi.

Right, up under the dash. It may be hard to see, I haven't been around a loyale in a very long time so I can't say how easy it would be to get at.

The clutch switch is on the pedal box. If you have cruise there will be two switches, if not there is only one...

Indeed, with the design of the coil pack if one goes, both on that bank go.

http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=49918 Read this, everything is correct except the location of the connectors in the XT, they are in the trunk near the passenger's side fenderwell. Find out what it tripping the cel, and get it fixed. Reset the ecu and take it back in.

+4200000000000000.2 on replacing the plug wires.... www.rockauto.com I just ordered a set of ngk's for the XT for $26.** delivered. My local parts stores could only get me the crap xact wires and that stuff quick, and the ngk's were almost twice as much and the same delay(7-10 days) to get them.

It will work perfectly... Read the write-up for the conversion here and ignore everything that talks about wiring. You'll only need to do the intake manifold and disty mods.

I know where they are on the ea82... I was going to pull the resistor from my parts ea81 wagon, for use in the xt. Edrach said they were the same for ea81 and ea82, hense I was asking where on the ea81.

I had a 95 brighton, swapped in a cluster from a 96 L and everything worked perfectly. I however did not look into locks, windows, or mirrors. If the wiring is there, you'll still need relays, swithes and all that fun stuff.

The tach jumping around is a sure sign of worn distributer. I would suggest finding a good j/y unit to install and rebuild/have yours rebuilt. And for the crud in the tank, run it low on fuel and drain the tank. There is a 12mm bolt in the tank for draining, you could also get a smallish can of fuel and fluch it out while doing this. Then replace both fuel filters, one front one in back.

Here's the link. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/payments.php Or go to you usercp, and click on paid subscriptions on the left hand side link bar.

Could also be a leaf stuck in there. I've had that happen more than a few times.

I must be missing something. After reading this I was going to pull the resistor from my parts ea81 wagon, for use in the xt. And I can find no resistor. Where should I be looking?

How hard would it be to install four wheel discs onto one of the cars of this vintage? i know it would take away from the history of it, but it would make parts a lot easier to come by.

I don't think the worth of convertors has reached the druggies in rural Tennessee and Virginia just yet...

Using stock ej25 sensors and wiring, it is as easy as installing another ej25 in its place. In all actuality, probably only slightly harder than my instalation of a my91 ej22 into a my95 obd2 wagon...
