radiator fits with some work. cut some of the core support out and make it sit on the lower ledg rather than the upper one. then mount the fans on the front. they work better out there anyhow... i made brakets for the lower nubs to fit into... and i had to cut bits out of the top of the core support for it to fit. -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

if you look at pic #18 you can see that he has spacers that go from 4X140 to 4X100. and make the wheels stick out to match the body... -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

not realy my cup of tea. but awesome work. kinda looks like a subaru del sol to me... -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

i thought the title of this post was, Twinstick EA81 w/Pics not "you should have went with an EJ22" or "should have done it to a D/R 5sp..." not a single person has said. man thats awesome... good idea... i should have thought of that... but I for one, do think that is awesome. and haveing seen it done. i may try to do it myself. just my $0.02 -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

i beleave the only turbo that came with a D/R is the turbo coupe and RX. the older ones came with a part time 4WD D/R and the later ones came with a FT4WD D/R. any trans should hold up to the EA82T. but if you go with a Turbo trany you will need to get new front axels and rear diff. -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

dont quote me but i beleave the plugs for that ECU can come from any USDM legecy from 91-94 or any JDM WRX from 93-96. -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

here is what i have posted many times..... try search look up suberdave if you are looking to do a compleat EJ swap. here is how you do it. PM me or post a ? if you dont understand something. someday i will get around to doing a write-up and putting it on my webpage. currently i am working on my 2nd compleat EJ swap into an EA-82, i did a 96 JDM EJ20G in my 88 GL10 wagon. took 2 weeks. the engine drops right in (as long as you have a turbo X-member) the trany bolts right up if you use the front and rear X-member peaces from an XT6 and the center peace from a WRX. the drive shaft has to be shortened 55MM. the rear diff bolts right up (my 4.111:1 R160 LSD) the rear axels you have to buy adapters to mount the EJ inners to the EA axles, cost $6 each from rockford CV. the front EJ axels bolt right up. (if you use EJ front knuckles) i used the WRX front struts, knuckles, hubs, barrings, rotors, tie rod ends and calapers (stock 2pot). XT6 lower control arms. the EJ radeator fits with some triming. the shift linkage must be shortend. then use rear hubs, roters, calapers and backing plates from an XT6, this way you have 5X100 in the rear also. 17X7 wheels fit nicely with an offset of 40-42 and 205/40R17 tires (the spedo is even right on with 4.111:1 gears) the wiring takes the longest. but if you have a good diagram its not a problem. just remember "do it once, do it right" i think i got everything. but im sure i for got something. if you need to know more, post or PM... check out my websight for more pics. sorry no write-up yet... www.suberdave.com -=Suberdave=- www.suberdave.com

i know this much. the ECU from my 88 GL 10 will not work in my 87 GL 10. tryed it, just turned over. didnt check to see why cuz the old ECU worked just fine. just wanted an extra. -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

here is a pic of the chip goes. this is an ECU from a 95 Ver2 Sti RA my ECU dose not have a chip here at all. (the one with the sticker on it) Pic from XSNRG -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

its not a vf22 its a TDO5H turbo... just for the recoard. -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

i was reading the August issue of Car and Driver. they took a 2006 legacy 2.5GT and put the Flex with the EDFC (electronic damping force controller) on it so you could adjust the damping from inside the car on the fly. the pic of the coilovers look very close to what would be needed on an EA82. i already have WRX susp. up front so the front would be a direct fit. and the rear look real close. just need some top hat work. this is something i was tinking about doing also. now that it has been done, it may happen sooner. the only down side is it cost almost $2000.00 -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

on mine i used the stock WRX stopper. if you have an EA trans you need to find a stopper purch from an XT6 or a XT w/ spider intake. or the WRX one may fit on the EA trans. -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

go to www.download.com and download a program called Easy Thumbnails it is very easy to use (hince the name). -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

what are you doing friday. i could come up after work, i get off at 4:00pm. maybe i could be of some help. let me know if you will be working on that beast friday evening... -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

do tell. i dont know if i know the old rope trick will work... -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

when i did my rear R160 converson into my GL wagon, i got some converson races from http://www.rockfordcv.com/rcv.htm . they were only $6 ea and worked to mate the WRX inner to the GL shaft with no problem. i know its different but if all else fails its another path to follow. -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

this is what i did for my CAI. More Pics http://www.suberdave.com/subaru/intake/intake.htm -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

i have not done it in a legacy. but what i will tell you is, it will fit. pretty much any engine will fit in the car. you will just have to make the wiring and stuff work. if you have the time and some know how. go for it... -=Suberdave=-

if you need any EA82 parts, just let me know. i have whatever you need. i think... its a little bit of a drive up to seattle, but i will make it worth the trip. i have: EA82t' long blocks wireing harness' ECU's spider intakes FTAWD D/R w/ Diff lock Turbos Turbo back Exhaust enough parts to do a swap fore sure. -=Suberdave=-

i was wondering the same thing. i have almost the same setup. the only reason i haven't is cuz the EA master cylinder seems to work just fine. -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

dont pull the dash... whatever you do... way to much work... i just pulled the steering collum. thus gaining axcess to the underdash aria. -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

according to what these guys say http://www.type-ra.co.uk/my93specs.htm the injector dose nothing... i have also herd that it is for idle enrichment. but i dont know why it would need it. no other EJ20G has it. and last i have herd that if you buy the $400 group N rally chip it then puts it to use. but we will see, once it gets running this summer. ill keep everyone posted. -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

Cats what are those??? i thought everyone ran stright pipe now a days... -=Suberdave=-

from what i have read, it dosnt realy do anything. but it looks cool. and may have potential for something... -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com
