:lol::lol: Where do you insert the quarters for the suction thingy... Good times with funny phrases.

Well, I am all out of ideas. Good luck finding the info!

Did you try searching for it, and then use google cache to load the old page? Don't know if google actually caches craigslist stuff or not, but it would be a good start... Just an idea

Well, I would test the fan off the car to see if it still works. If the fan works, then it must be the switch that turns it on. So I would check to see if the fan has actually failed first, and if it has, I would look into a new fan. If the fan works out of the car, then I would buy a new switch. If the fan is infact dead, I have heard of some of the EJ swap guys buying new thin fans off ebay for cheap, so that might be a good option for you. Check out the retrofitting section, then might have some ideas for you. Of course the JY is closer and faster, but it's a used part. I would personally buy a new fan and then I wouldn't have to worry about it again for a LONG time. Especially since these cars are sensitive to heat...

THAT SUCKS! Talk about a string of bad luck! Well, since that's out of the way, you should have smooth sailing with no bad luck for a while! Good luck fixing up your car and garage, and keep us updated on your progress. Gotta love stupid people

Edit: Posting at the same time, YAY ^^ What they said Congrats on your first Subie! Did you check your timing belts? They could have broke. If the car has sat for a long time, the belts could have rotted but held together for 20 seconds, and then broke. Check to make sure the distributor is turning when you crank the car over, that should tell you if your timing belts are broke or not. That would be the first thing that I would check, and then I would check all the other stuff. The T-Belts like to go out on these cars all the time. Luckily it won't mess anything up with the car, and it's a fairly forward process replacing them, so it's not THAT big of a deal if they do go. That being said, I have not had to replace one yet, so I am no expert on that subject at all, but this issues seems to come up quite a bit on here...

Nice! So there is going to be more than one EJ22T RXs on the board now, in fact multiple ones, good stuff. That will be a fun project for sure, especially with the MS in it!

So when are you going to get the LCDash? It looks sweet, and I am actually going to install one when I get do the MS to my MR2, but it would be great in a Subaru for sure! This is really good stuff!

This is sweet! Good work! I am planning on running of these in my MR2 when I get around to rebuilding it, so it's good to see the kit isn't THAT hard to assemble. Thanks for the writeup on getting it to work with the turbo!

6 year old thread revival, whoo hoo!

I picked up all three FSMs (sections 2-6) for an '88 for $24 bucks on this site, so just keep your eyes open and sometimes good deals come up! Very glad I picked them up, that's for sure. Already helped me out a bunch. Well worth the investment...

That's sick looking! :slobber: Very nice. I only wish I had a hatch Good work! Love those tires!

Really?!?!?! You didn't see the sticky at the top of this section?!?!? chux did a entire write up in PDF format. READ THE WHOLE THREAD. The link at the beginning does not work. I would grab a FSM, either from the classified section here or off ebay. They have ALL the info you need. I got mine for $24 plus shipping, hell of a deal I would say some research is in order, and then post back with some specific questions about the swap you want to do

I think chux will do it for about $250 I believe... He has a website that might have more info. There are also a couple of other members here that have done the wiring and will do it for a fee as well. I am not sure who though, so you would have to look into that some more. It seems a little daunting, especially if you are not good with a soldering iron and reading electrical diagrams The wiring is straight forward as well, it's just time consuming to deal with. I think that I am going to attempt to do my own harness when I go to do mine swap, but we shall see how that goes when the time comes. I think that it's going to be something that I work on over time so I can take the time to do it correctly. Man I love Subarus!

From what I have read it seems pretty straight forward. The retrofitting section will have LOTS of good info. There is a post by cmiller that documents a swap he did recently and how to solve some of the issues that come up. It's a good read for sure. Since your car is an EA82 series, it should be a really straight forward swap. numchuck's PDF documents the procedure very well. I am planning on doing an EJ swap and using an EJ 4EAT trans with it, but I am not going to do both swaps at the same time... But this is beacuse I have an automatic. The 5spd D/R is a better trans because of the D/R and works great with an EJ from what I have read. The EJ 4EAT is improved from my design, so it's worth the upgrade. The one thing I have found out is the subaru = lego Alot of the parts are interchangeable even across product lines. It's great!

I can tell you a little, but I have not done a swap so take this for what it's worth... If you check out the retrofitting section there is a sticky with numbchux's write up on the swap and explains the wiring. There should be a link to a pdf in there as well. LOOK FARTHER THAN THE FIRST PAGE. The download link won't work on the first page. Read the rest of the post to find the right link... numbchux also will do the wiring harness as well, for a fee. I believe the mounts work with the existing ones, but of course it depends on the car that the EJ is going into. You didn't mention a car, so it's kinda hard to tell you if the existing mounts will work... This is assuming you meant the engine mounts, and not the trans mounts... Fuel system, I don't know, need a car to be able to tell you that. The drive shafts should stay the same unless you are doing a trans swap as well. An EJ motor is just motor, so your drivetrain stays the same. You need an adapter plate to mount up the EJ motor to an EA trans... And the breaks and suspension should be just fine. Again without knowing the car it's hard to tell. Most people say that you should do the rear disc conversion for better stopping, but other that that it should be fine. Again, without knowing the car, it's hard to say... Hope that helps. I have done extensive reading on this swap trying to decide if this was the route that I wanted to go, and all my questions have been answered just by reading info on this forum, so I would say you still a little more research to do. Not trying to be rude or mean, just saying But some nice members might chime in to help you along, you never know Good luck!

Looks good, can't wait to check it out in a couple months! Keep it up!

Good work! Looks like lots of progress has been made. Is it running yet? Keep it up!

Ok so South Side Brake & Clutch in Tacoma has them, and on the shelf for $87 and some change. That's about the online price for these, so not too shabby!

Good to know! and PM sent...

To bad it's not a turbo, or it would probably be sold already, oh well, can't win 'em all :-\

I kinda figured that's what the deal was with EMPI, whenever you mass produce something, you will naturally have some bad apples. Ouch, that's alot for axles! If the OE axles are that much, I will take my chances with EMPI. I will keep that in mind when installing the axles, to try to do it right! I will at least try We shall see how that goes Good stuff so far! Thanks all!

Thanks for the insight renob123! From the sounds of it, EMPI does suffer from some bad apples, but that's to be expected with any company. I am still interested in info on some good reman OE subaru axles. I have also email raxles.com on info and prices, so we shall see what they say. So far it seems if I want EMPI axles, tacoma seems to be the closest so far...

That's what I love about this forum, I get good stuff whenever I ask! Thanks all! The reason that I choose EMPI was simple because they seem to have a good track record here on USMB. That being said, I have no experience with axles, I was just going with what everyone seemed to agree with, and that was EMPI... Of course this is arguable, but I also now have some more options... Gloyale, or anyone for that matter, where could I pick up a good reman OE subaru axle? The dealer? I could rebuild it, but I would need an OE core, which I don't think I have... I think I got a cheap reman from the store, but I don't have any paper work for it so ya. Is there anyway to tell? The PO didn't mention anything to me, and I can't really tell by looking at it. If the EMPI stuff requires you to switch both axles at the same time, and then only use EMPI axles, no thanks to that... Thanks for the heads up about that site renob123, I will take that into consideration for sure when I go to purchase something whether it be EMPI or others, thanks.

Nice! You know their prices off the top of your head? Thanks for the shop, I will keep them in mind for sure! I keep getting closer and closer to oly...
