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.

on the brat i bet it is different but the 4wd switch is in the center console. on mine the little clips that hold the plunger snapped off so the swith just lays in there and it will indicate 4wd. the switch needs to be pushed in to turn off the 4wd light. you could just tape it in and go with no 4wd but still low. or just super glue something to the end of the plunger so it will cut off sooner. again i have a brat so.

going down the road my voltage will follow my rpms on my 86 brat. but somtimes it will work fine. is this the alternator or a voltage regulator? anyway if it is the alt i guess i would like to upgrade. i have seen people write on xt6 and gm. i think someday i would like a winch so. anyway just looking for advice and options thanx.

just woundering how long it takes to yank out a bad and put in a new. thanx

i read it before a while ago. somebody was taking your wiring harness and the ej and stripping it down and then shipping it back for a price. i cant seem to find who it was and the write up for it.

my sister has my old 98 impreza 2.2l 2door. and she needs to put in trailer this weekend so she can drive back to pa from vt. i told her i would ask around for her on any ideas. i read this thead. do you suppose her car would have a harness also? thanx nick

awsome guys! i just thougt it would be fun to see what what kind of pics we could round up. this is great i hope this thread keeps going this good. im not sure where it is but i love that one with the wagon like ten feet up. can anybody post that one for me?

right here

great thanx guys. i found a brand new one on ebay shipped to my house for about $55 i would hate to low ball jerry on something that would need shipped to pa. ill ask but thanx for the info guys.
