cool thanks for the info. i have been talking to scott from subarubrat.com and he is helping with some good info aswell. does anyone know how that funky power steering works? it says that it is speed adaptive. i am just wondering how it knows the speed and if it will even work with the harness merge. if not i wonder if i could just swap the pump and pullys over from a normal ea82.

I agree newer and better after market support. But the idea of an h6 is just hard to pass up. The cool factor is up there and worth some extra work. To my knowledge it is ea82 generation. Which should help in saving me some money for the tranny adapter. Not much but just one less thing. I'm not sure what to do about the radiator yet.

ok guys im back. i finally got thet brat out of storage after 2 years and now time to go to work. my brat as i it stands has a 4inch lift on it. all else is stock. i was going to put the ej swap in it but i was at the junk yard the other day and found an xt6. the new goal is to put in the er27. goals. er27 engine turbo rx 5spd dr xt6 breaks, axles, and 5 lug hubs xt6 engine cradle with power steering.? harness merged by??? Any help and no how would be huge. i think im going this weekend to rip that xt6 apart. i read all i could on subarubrat.com but there is not a lot of info on the swap. just a few pics. thanks, nick

awesome

kick rump roast thanks. i was hoping that it would work.

i guess i should just get an obd2 2.2 frow a newer car and just have it reflashed. unless what your saying is true about them runnning the 2.5 with no prob.

how do you program an obd1 car's ecu? i know with my swap i just pluged in and flashed the ecu. i did use the ecu that when with the heads. if i were to swap the heads on the 2.5 with the 2.2 heads i would take all the wiring out of the 2.2 but it would need tuned. just not sure how its done or if its done the same. thanks

good to know thanks. i saw i guy who put that motor in his wagon but he swaped the heads to the sohc. i think that seems like the new plan. as far as the adapter plate that will fit the 5sp dr to the ej25 though right?

that is just what i wanted to know. the adapter plate that they sell for the ej22 will work though right? i didnt relize that the 2.5 was to wide. what am i looking at to make it fit? as in what will it hit? thanks for the reply man.

ok i have been putting the project off forever but i am going to start working on it. i just finished swaping my 99lgt with a hybrid ej255 with ej20 heads sti cams headers tdo4 turbo full exhaust stock tranny with 07 push style clutch pp and fly 02 wrx ecu reflashed running 17psi... for now. so i have a car. now i need a truck. i have a lifted 86 brat. i also have the ej25d that i pulled out of the lgt. also i have an 85turbo rx with a badish motor. so last weekend i rolled the car over and yanked the nice 5speed with drive shaft and lsd diff all the disc breaks and hubs (for the 25 spline.) so this is where i am. does anyone know what probs im gonna run into with this tranny? i have not yanked the brat one yet so im not sure how close they are. thanks guys.

1999 is dohc.

cool. thanx guys. how hard of a fix is this for me not being a guru? and where would i get one? and gone unfixed there will be catastrofic falure wont there.

it goes away as soon as i push in the clutch.

so i went off roading yesterday and had a blast but now im putting out fires haha. on the way home i aquired i thunping noise in what i think is the front driverside. it didnt do it on the way there. only does it under power and in every gear. more so in the 3rd forth. also it comes and goes but pretty much is always there. it dosent click like a cv joint. did i cook it? when its bad it shakes the whole car/truck pretty bad.
