Dantes Inferno

My old mechanic up here in BC had an old ea82 buggie. It was really cool. I'll try and dig up some photos.

this happened to me when the coil went on my turbo. The coil was making tons of noise arking on the body only at high rpm which made it hard to diagnose. Replaced and it was all good.

So I have a carbed ea82 hatch. With no A/C, ABS, or any of that bull************. 5 speed transmission. If I want to put a ej22 in it, is it possible to mount the engine, and built a harness to the ECU which will be in the engine bay, as minimal as possible?

Ya id leave it in fwd and yank the shaft if I had front axles. I gotta find a the block that lifts the front of the rear crossmember. Some dude had a 6" lift that fits in my gl but I had to dig it out of his burnt down barn. Not sure what im missing but I know im missing one of those just by looks.

No, I dont have much time in a day to work on the car, and I still need to drive it. So I wanted to know if I could do half then half.

If I install a 6" lift in the back of my rx, and still have the front end stock, will the driveshaft still reach the rear diff?

Hypa on Nasioc welded his auto center diff to turn his imp rwd.

Im putting 205 - 70 - 15s on my gl coupe with my pug alloys ill throw a photo up after. Should be done by sunday.

There is a pair of two ea81 Gl Hatches set up for iceracing in my nabourhood with 13b rotary engines installed. They use ea82 dual range trannys. They used an adaptor plate to mount the engine. Also, they found the subaru clutch was not capable and through trial and error found a sutable hybrid clutch, pressure plate, flywheel set up that held together. The rotary motors did eventually eat up the low range on the trannys, but these were raced hard and often. Even hillclimbed.

Yep, I had nuts and bolts holding my axles onto my legacy for several months, no issues.

maybe he forgot to add the letter "W" before the "RX".

To get the junk out use compressed air and a vacuum. The air should whip everything around pretty damn good if you got enough pressure and a good vacuum will yank anything that floats by. Kinda like when the dentist uses the water and suction hose at the same time.

I did this on my legacy and it was even louder than the ea82.

I found its easier to pull the motor. Drop the trans onto its crossmembers thru the engine bay. Get underneath and benchpress it into its home. Its easier to fiddle with the clutch with the motor out too! I didnt read the thread so this might be mute.

If the engine and tranny havent been split before I would just pull the whole shabang. If theyve been split not to long ago i think its less labour intensive to pull seperatly. Since with two big dudes can easily pull the motor without a picker and 1 guy to sling the trans out simple.

All I know is I put an entire rear suspension out of a 4wd wagon into a 4wd XT and everything bolted in and looked normal and felt normal afterwords.

If u search it hard enough I think you can find the numbers. I know the ea82 specs are up somewhere, but saying that, I found a lift to buy anyway.

Thanks, clears up some questions. Hopefully I get a shop space soon enough. Its a 87 3 door gl.

Check yer grounds?

Thanks alot, yes your write up is my bible. Im gonna do the trans at the same time I do the engine, only makes sense. So with the EA82T hubs and ej trans I can use ea82T 25spine axles and they will fit? Nice. Also, you shortened your driveshaft 2". What rear end did you use, the stock ea82 or did you use a newer one?

Pull some random lock cyclinders from a junk yard. Its not like any pre well used 97 subaru or nissan or toyota cant be opened and started with a tooth pick anyway. I ve got keys for 5 different subarus and they all work in the drivers door and ignition of all my subarus even my friends skyline. Its rediculous.

Is there any compiled information about a full EJ driveline swap into EA82 cars? I've got a 3 door coupe that would love some more pep and I want its dual range for my wagon. I know ive gotta use a XT6 rear trans crossmember, wrx front trans crossmember. Shorten driveshaft 55mm (is this the case if im using the new rear end or the old one?). And the front knuckles get swapped for the ej ones so I can use the 25spline axles and gain 5 bolt as well correct? I'd love some pointers anywho... I hate learning the hard way.

Why sell, is 500 bucks at the most really gonna make a difference? You could spend 800 and the old boy will be kickin with an EJ and fresh driveline if u put a little work in. I mean for 1300 your still gonna being buying someone elses problem. And for the record, ive owned 4 ea82 wagons, 1 xt turbo, 1 three door gl coupe, 1 5mt 1st gen legacy sedan, 1 5mt swapped 1st gen legacy wagon. I find the ea82 cars are just better. I mean the legacy is nice for its power, brakes, suspension... but I guess I just like the farm equipment better haha. There is more character, things are simple, and I like being able to pull and engine and then trans without a hoist just 4 sets of sturdy hands, just 2 for the trans.
