thank you! that diagram should help ALOT. the owner i got the harness from said the mass airflow was on the throttlebody but he had aftermarket parts and had already sold it. im probably going to get a legacy trans. will that do the trick? ...FSM:banana:

ok i finally got a wire harness but this engine has too many sensors to count and im a bit overwhelmed. there doesnt seem to be much info on the EJ205 in this forum or even the EA to EJ writeup. (i hate nasioc's format so i didnt even bother looking there) theres extra sensors on the intake manifold and it has coil on plugs. i was thrilled with the throttlebody though!(integrated mass airflow mmmmm) would a haynes manual cover this or should i get something from the dealership? also any online resources would be cool but i cant find any! ...i might just be too lazy to find them though

its a 1990 block. im not sure which one (n/a) so just grab an OBD1 ecu?

looking for a stand alone

hmmm... it might get close to 300 (250+) as far as the machinging goes... im pretty much getting the full meal deal... with large fries - 8:1 compression crower pistons, DOHC delta cams, polishing, balancing ect

so i have everything pulled and the EJ20 is in the machine shop and im going with about 12-15 pounds of boost. i was wondering how other people have approached this. im not sure if im going to get a stock turbo or not. i was wondering where other people have placed their aftermarket turbos/intercoolers and how they routed the piping. im not really keen on putting an intercooler under the bumper because i think its kinda ugly. ive already fashioned a hoodscoop so placing it in the spare tire well would be preferable. pictures would be excellent! heres a youtube video from last summer when the scoop was almost finished

i forgot to add: i know ill need to swap the hubs but i might not be doing that right away so i was wondering if i can run without rear axles for a while

sounds good. will it be able to handle the extra horsepower? and i need to make sure it works with the newer trans. (yes im getting a newer one, probably getting one from legacy though i dont know the model numbers) and i will be going 5 lug but its a lower priority

i have a FWD 87 threedoor L-series. im swapping in an EJ20 and i want to know how difficult it is to install a rear diff. can i pull on off an RX or XT and pop it in? is it compatible with a newer trans? ..or should i get a newer diff off a legacy? will either have to be welded onto the frame? do i need to get the drive shaft shortened? :-\ also: can i run without the rear axles? i have drums in the back right now that im obviously planning on pulling but this might happen later on in the project.

still leads back to the question at hand. n/a EJ20 with EJ22 heads. i dont think i can get ahold of EJ20 heads in my price range so am i going to get less torque? whats the compression going to be like?

sounds good. should also simplify my task quite a bit:)

i never could find any information on this combination except from my own thread. the EJ20 is n/a for sure. any idea on the compression? im hoping for something around 8.5. the engine is going into a 1987 three door body and its pretty stripped down. it weighs about 2100 - 2200lbs so i wont need a massive amount of power but it will be turboed. (looking for 200 - 250hp but i wouldnt mind more )

well, i found the car in the states so i wasnt considering that :-\

do i have to take a picture? it clearly says [EJ20] on the block. the car was probably from canada or elsewhere

actually its an n/a EJ20. theres other threads discussing that topic but they do exist and i was lucky enough to find one in a legacy. im aiming for 200hp with ej22 heads for lower compression + turbo and possibly new pistons if i cant get the compression down enough. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=104101&highlight=ej20+ej22+head this is from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_EJ_engine SOHC naturally aspirated Legacy JDM 1989-1994 125 hp (93 kW) BC - BF series 1993-1999 135 hp (101 kW) BD - BG series 1998-2004 137 hp (102 kW) BE - BH series 2003-2009 140 hp (100 kW) BL - BP series DOHC naturally aspirated Legacy JDM 1989-1999 150 hp (110 kW) BC - BF and BD - BG series

retuning was the goal. and since the block was pulled from a 1990 legacy then i guess ill stck with OBD1, considering what you have said. and yes is goin into a 1987 three door.

i have a harness from a 1996 which i thought was a 1995 at the time so im still undecided. incorrect schematics? thats... unprofessional to say the least. also ive seen PC based diagnostics tools. any recommendations?

it was meant to be humorous but no one really replied so kill the thread i guess? anyways , i scraped the paint off thee rotors when it dried, it was fine

i know, thanks. they kick more ... than you can possibly fathom

so i was cleaning my calipers and thought it was time for an upgrade! Brembo in a can!

it has become apparent to me that i can hack OBD2. when i put my EJ20 in im undecided. the whole idea of rewiring is... a bit overwhelming, but if im gonna do it i might as well do it well. OBD2 is more work but are the added benefits of hackability and the learning experience worth it? id only like responses from people who have alot of experience with both if you dont mind. -im a digital electronics student so dont expect me to be totally in the dark here

shifting with a dude.... heh

ahhhh! well good thing i have a backup plan, thanks for the help yet again

everything is fine till 6000. if i shift up there i have to wait for it to rev down to 5500 before i can shift unless i jam the stick into the next gear with some lovely grinding sounds

actually it happend a month or two after the new clutch. i guess i would have to tear it apart then. no fun. i was i guess i can wait till i have enough money to send my EJ20 to the machine shop so i can put it together (also, i had help with the clutch as im somewhat new to automotive)
