Mr. Brat

What about a brat?

Oh got it. I did not know that. That would make sense why the fuel pump would only turn on for a second or two. I did some research on all data and found that the main relay and fuel pump relay are together. Is that true? That must by why numbchux says to use both the main and fuel pump relay from the EJ.

Or went to the offraod section, or the vendor section. There is a couple members that build and sell lift kits and along with many other accesories. Just do some searching. And welcome...

Ha rochester... That explains alot. Welcome to the board.

Now I have a copy of Numbchux's write up. He says to use the EJ fuel pump relay. I hung the wires over the fender like he said and plugged everything in to see if it will run. Now all I did was supply the EJ wiring harness with battery voltage. Nothing is spliced into the brat right now. Hence the EA fuel pump relay. With the motor idling, it will run about 2 minutes and die. Turn the key on and off a couple times to prime the FI pump and it fires right back up. Rev's great has no runabilty issues at all. My question is, does the EA fuel pump relay not supply a constant power source to the fuel pump, hense using the EJ fuel pump relay? Im not trying to change the world but if one step can be elimanated... why not.

Well I went to the junk yard and picked up a fuel pump from a loyale. Already mounted it in the slock location. Picked up some high and low pressure fuel lines and a filter. Just have to hit the store to find some adaptors. Thanks for all the help. I know it can seem redundant at times. But anything helps.

Ok, i'm sorry. I must have been reading to far into your right up. I guess my eyes seen what wasn't really there. As for the mounting, I could put the pump where the rear fuel filter is correct? Would you still recomend a surge tank after the pump?

I read and read and read... All I can find is that you can you either use the EJ fuel pump or aftermarket one. My EJ pump works just fine. Now the question. Do I put the EJ pump in the EA81 tank? I seen someone put a pump where the rear fuel filter was mounted. If I put the pump in the fuel filter spot, do I still leave in the stock pump in the tank? If I use both pumps, I shouldn't need to worry about a surge tank either right?

I will take a pair for the brat if they fit.

Yeah - my bad. I read that totally wrong. That would be a direct bolt in. The wiring would be differant, being the EA82 tranny didnt have a low range.

No its not just as simple as cutting a hole for the range selector. You have to make/buy tranny mounts/crossmember. Weld/bolt in carrier bearing. Little bit of wiring (if you care). I think 1st and second gear is a little smaller. But I did my lift and swap at the same time, so I cant really say.

Im in! Should for some sort of convoy for the way over!

Pacific Import Auto is a great subaru only shop. They dont do alot of work on the older EA81 and EA82's. But they do when it is brought to them. I have been family friends with the owner of this shop for years. They are very good and very reliable.

Does it consitatly pull to on side or the other? When was the alignment done last? Hit any potholes lately? Could be a bad strut, toe is most likely out.

Dropped the EJ motor in the brat tonight. Its making headway!

You dont need a new rear diff and you dont need new axles. That stuff is all the same. You need the flywheel from the EA82 and the clutch for that. You will need to modify the trans mounts to fit or modify the trans crossmember to fit. Have to grid down the bottom of the motor bellhousing to fit the flywheel. And you will need to fab up the carrier bearing to the bodyfor the EA82 drive line. Do some searching around here, there is alot of right ups on how to do this. I have done it myself with both ways on the trans mounts.

I sent you a differant picture, did it upload better?

No prob, offer still stands. Im pretty sure this car had everything. Oh and nice car too.

I have a parts car w/cruise if you fine you need some parts.

Replaced the battery tray and inner fender to the frame rail. Found it was a little rotten.

That sounds like a blast. I will be there in my brat.

wouldn't need a shoot for the drag strip. Installed powersteering in the brat tonight.

Sent you an e-mail. Im with Zap, featured cars get a discount on the book?

Should throw out your e-mail. I will send you pictures and info on mine.

Sounds good, thanks.
