I doubt seriously that I will ever be done with mine.

Debris? I have a custom drill attachment that connects to a 10 hp vacuum for the initial drilling and a telescoping vacuum attachment that snakes in to each port. That and I took off the throttle body and stuffed it with automotive seat cushion foam so that nothing could drop in.

Very nice dude, it looks just like my first Subaru, it was an 86 gl-10. Ah, turbo, 4 wheel drive, power everything, windows, seats, sunroof that car was so clean. Then I made a monumentally stupid decision and traded it for a minivan! :-\ Muscle Building Program

The only reason I am doing this setup, other than my curiosity and imagination running away from me at this point, is because my wiring, comp, sensors or some other crap included in the whole EFI setup is hosed. This is my first experience with an EFi that I have had to screw with, my other fuel injected cars all run great. The 2.2 runs like a bat out of hell with efi, just not consistently. Unless I really fall in love with this setup, my intent is to megasquirt this thing as soon as I have the cash to get the setup. I have the 2 barrol weber from the 1.8, It was awsome on it. (Read the post about how I smoked and humiliated an RX-8) If anything, I will only need to re-jet the carb. But I know a LOT about NA engines and am not at all concerned about the functionality of the finished project. Chaz Muscle Building Program

Yes, on mine, there is a recessed groove with an o-ring seated into it. The head is slightly beveled at the outside edge, so it just took a little taping around the distributor to get it seated. Oil the o-ring first, makes it much easier. The adjustment/bolt down grooves needed to be widened ever so slightly. I just used a slightly larger drill bit, placed dizzy on a firm surface and let the bit widen the grove. i had to go over it a few times to smooth it out though. Muscle Building Program

I marked out the holes. Cut the holes using a hole saw and an electric drill. Mounted My adapter plate. And then the Weber, yes it is at an angle, just temporarily though, till i find a wedge of aluminum. As far as the Dizzy, I used an 86' Ford Escort and aside from widening the mounting/adjustment tracks, no modifying needed. It just bolted right in. Muscle Building Program

Okay, I have searched and searched, but can't figure out what to do with the three wires from the Escort distributor. Can anyone tell me where these hook to the car?

Well, I took a chance today and got a distributor from an 86 Escort, new cap and rotor, $65.- buck total. It bolts right on to the back of the head and perfectly fits the groove in the cam. :banana: Just a little cleaning and I'll be good to go on that, except i need to figure out what to do with those three wires.

I read that post too, I am using my 2 barrol Weber. I ground down the area where the coil pack mounts today. Now it's flat and ready for cutting the intake holes for the carb and i need to drill and tap for mounting studs. I have a piece of 1/2" aluminum left over from the EA-EJ engine adapter plate That I made, to make a custom plate once i remove the throttle body. I am going to try and locate a low pressure fuel pump tomorrow along with a distributor.

Those are all actual Subaru parts though aren't they? I am thinking of doing the escort dizzy for ease of locating it. However... I know where there is an early legacy with a 1.8 liter in it, I wonder if it's dizzy would bolt up to my 92 lets call it (it's 90-94 i can't remember) EJ22? My engine came from a made for Japan car.

I am assuming that this is a distributor for a 1.6 liter Escort? Are those electronic?

Sweet!, Do you happen to know which distributor is better for this application? Ah, a new project.

Hey, I have an EJ22 in my 87 GL, I have had nothing but problems with it, The engine is 90-94 mpfi, what besides the intake do I need to convert this thing? I will hack and fab my own manifold, If i don't solve this issue soon i am going to revert to the 1.8. I have got to start saving some money on fuel, my ranger gets 15 mpg. and it's killing me! This is the rear of the passenger side head and I believe that is where the distributor goes. Thanks in advance, Chaz

Hey, The ECU should be the same on turbo and NA, however, there are sensor wires that get swapped. Namely the crank and cam angle sensor wires. http://legacycentral.org/library/ECU_Landscape.htm Hosehead Chaz

That is what I used. Thank you for the help and advice as always. Chaz

Well, it's all bolted back together now. I am going to fab up a new duel exhaust system this Friday. I have it lay out and need to weld it up, as soon as I install a 30amp breaker and plug for 240 volts.

Not in Julian, I checked with the DMV today and I dont have to smog it because there are no smog regulations in my zip code. Its crazy, all i have to do is pay for plates and registration, not even an inspection.

Thats great Pooparu , bolts were tight, checked them that morning, did a once over on everything before i drove the three hours to the new pad. I did loose a muffler on the trip though, broke it at the crossover, about mid trany. I think part of the problem was that i used number ten hardened bolts so instead of bending they just poped off. The swap went faster than I would have liked because I had an unemployed buddy helping me while it was sitting in one of the empty bays at my shop and i was working. I lost 6 feet of exhaust on one side along with a resinator tip and muffler. I need to just pull it and go through it and do it all myself so I know what i have.

I moved to a little town in San Diego county, Called Julian which sits at 4200 feet. After the problems the other day, loosing a muffler (and it hitting the Eclipse behind me), breaking the top bolts off the engine and loosing the starter, rear main seal I started looking at all the costs of legalizing the thing for California since I need to pull the engine anyway. California will let you bring an out of state car that is not smog legal if it was an inheritance. Which leads to the question. Will you then have to change it to meet smog requirements? Well not if the little town in the mountains doesn't have smog regulations! I can put the 1.8 with the Weber back in until i get the 2.2 finished and not have to stop driving the car and I still wont have to use a cat. :banana:

Good job man.

Well, only if you don't want to snap the top two bolts, have your starter fall off and blow the rear seal on the ej22 the way I did last week. I totally forgot about that after it became drivable. :-\

Um, not to rain on anyone's parade, but its illegal because in an accident it will bust into large pieces and hack you to death. Automotive safety glass comes in two forms, laminated in the windshield, so that you wont fly through it if you aren't wearing your seatbelt, and tempered in the majority of side and rear windows if not laminated in older cars. this is so the glass breaks into small pieces, yeah it will still cut you but not kill you. I was an autoglass tech and glazier for 14 years, you have to respect it, i have seen a few people get butchered. No joke.

I don't know, it drives extremely well in 4th on the freeway though. I drove it to my new house last night, 200 miles away. about 45 minutes into the trip i lost one of the mufflers, not to worry, it hit the Eclipse behind me. Before i got home I lost the clutch as well then all my engine lights flashed on and off and it ran like a bastard the last half an hour. It may have had something to do with that guy in the Porsche passing me, then me returning the favor, 125 mph, 6k rpm 4th gear and screaming like a banshee. Oh, well, I'm sick of screwing with the wiring, think I might have to MegaSquirt it. Oh yeah, and the starter went out. :mad:

Indeed!

I have never heard of it nor can I find any info on it. Yet there it is in all its glory. I took a photo of it before and it is in a previous post. I also , unfortunately need to unload the subaru as I have a mini van, a suburban, a Ford ranger and a beetle. I must sell two of them and it unfortunately didn't make the cut. Any offers?
