sweet. you keep doing work to that thing, you may have to keep her forever...

the oil pressure light wire and the coolant temp wire dont run through the ECU. but they are green/white and white/green. dont remember witch one is witch...

Bring me your car, you source an adapter plate and flywheel. and i will drop a EJ18 in it. you can drive it away for $1500 for the engine and labor... may have some cost for other small stuff... This is only due to the fact that i currently have an EJ18 ready to rock sitting on my gerage floor, with the wiring and all done... PM me if interested...

Hey, if one of you guys i NZ want a 5lug swap on your EA/Leone. I've got the solution to your problem... buy a plain ticket for me to NZ and i will bring all the parts from an XT6 and help you install them on your car... heck i wont even charge you for the parts... Ok so buying the crossbred kit will be cheeper, but if you go that route i dont get a free ticket to New Zealand...

this weekend i am doing a V6 STI swap into a 94 Impreza wagon, but i may be able to help out next weekend. ill have to look at the calinder to see if i have anything going...

rails are to narrow. but can be cut and notched to make it fit... the SOHC EJ will fit the DOHC will not... but if you make it work. that would be one heck of a ride...

i beleave the EGR was only on California cars... all others dont have one...

This should help... its for a 2004 USDM WRX that has an EJ205... http://www.suberdave.com/USMB/USDM%20WRX%2020%20Wireing.pdf

IAC stuck, poss vacuume leak, if the idle is high, its getting extra air from somewhere...

update: got the heads on and the timing componits done. intake and exhaust on.

I wont be saleing the old engine, i will keep it in the gerage so if i blow this one up, i can have it back up and running in a few days... i dont like to look at how much money i have into my car. i like to look at it like this... the whole car probably cost less than a used 04ish STi would cost me... and its paid off, and full coverage insurance cost me less than $80 a month... -=Suberdave=-

I dont think a NA ECU will work without some sort of piggieback ECU. as soon as the NA ECU sees boost it will freak out... you need to check out; http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=50 it is a Normally Aspirated with bolt-on Forced Induction Powertrain fourm on NASIOC... if i were you i would buy a factory turbo exhaust manifold and up pipe, along with a factory downpipe. this will put your turbo in a nice easy location, with lots of turbo options.

if you are doing a JDM EJ20? look into ViPEC. that is what i have and i love it. super easy to tune, and very drivable. i have had it on my daily driver for almost 15K now and love it... if going USDM EJ20? stock ECU with accesport or open source should do what you need... i have done 3 full EJ20 swaps 2 EJ20G's and one EJ207, and a few other subaru swaps. if you have any questions shoot me a PM... -=Suberdave=- www.suberdave.com

So the time has come to build a new engine for my car, not because the old engine has anything wrong with it, but just becaues i want to build a new engine for my car with more torque... Hopeing for a quick spooling high torque engine with this one... Specs: 2005 EJ257 Block, crank, and rods 1997 STI EJ20K Heads (Pollished Intake Ports) JE Deep Dish Pistons\ STI Head Gaskets / will give me 8.75:1-8.80:1 compression ratio 1997 STI EJ20K Cams 1996 EJ20G intake manifold (ported and painted) and wiring 1996 EJ20H Timing Belt Covers 2003 EJ207 VF37 Twin Scroll Turbo 1" Intake Spacers to allow front inlet turbo Phenolic intake spacers EJ20K Power Steering Pump ViPEC standalone ECU (Currently in the car) ARP Head Studs Gates HP Timing Belt Excedy Twin Disc clutch Custom Built -6 AN Parrallel Fuel Rails Sard Fuel Pressure Regulator its all going into this car 1988 GL-10 Wagon. currently has a 96 WRX EJ20G tuned at 293WHP 275 WTQ. -=Suberdave=- www.suberdave.com

Man... what i wouldnt give for one of those... if you find another one in a yard or something... PM me and let me know what you want for it........ i didnt know they ever made a spoiler for an EA wagon...

Wrong off-set?

i had the same problem... i just ran a die up the inner tierod. then cut it an inch shorter... cheeper than buying mor parts.

subarutex (i think that is his screen name) did it. he could give you more info. but i beleave it was a pain and not worth much...

if you want good responce to the questions, we need more info. are you trying to put an EJ20? into an EA81 EA82 Car? what kind of EJ20 are you looking to swap, if its anything other than an EJ205 than it wont be OBD2 any how. if you are trying to put full OBD2 electronics into a non OBD2 body, this will be very hard, you will have to add pressure sensors in the fuel tank, a full Evap system, upon much more... i have done many swaps both in EA and EJ body cars. so i think i have experienance. but you need to give us more info. and if you are overwhelmed with the thoughts of OBD1 wiring, then i wouldnt even try OBD2 wiring... and lastly you use the words "Hack" OBD2? are you talking about hacking the ECU so you can retune it? if that is the case, you can add rom chips to the OBD1 ECU's and "Hack" them also...

also if you use the 3M tape (witch works awesome if used right) pick up some adhesive promoter, this will help the tape stick much better... i have used it many times...

check your wires... most cars use one ground and two powers (one for high and one for low) Subarus use two grounds and one power. so you have to do some wiring to make it work. this is what i had to do when i installed HID's in my car...

you can buy the welbro 255lph in line pump for right around $100 and it works awesome and you will never run out of fuel...

when i put my EJ20G into my 88 GL-10 with the digi dash, i tryed for hours to get the tach to work. i could not get it to work at all... i had to get an Autometer tach adapter insted, with an exturnal tach.
