I probably have a "can full" of those things here. I'll be happy to mail a couple to you (for postage) if you get stuck. The catch is I am busy and slow sometimes

It looks like it might just be a pulse damper. If so, EA82 SPFI cars are loaded with those things. I would try using an EA82 one and see what happens.

The vacuum lines can be plugged. I'll have to look up what I did to make all the lights, NSS, etc working.

You should be good to go. The ratios should both be 3.9. I have done several D/R swaps recently and they fit/work great. Some details need to be sorted out with the trans wiring harnesses but they're minor.

In my opinion this would not benefit the EA series engines. There are plenty of things you can do that don't cost much extra. If you have extra time on your hands you can take detailed measurements of everything that you re-assemble, bearing clearances, piston to cylinder wall clearance, piston ring end gaps, connecting rod weight for balance, etc. Being as anal as humanly possible try to get everything as close to the "tight end" of the factory specifications as you are able. The engine will make more power, run quieter and be more efficient. You will be more proud of it too

One option is to read through the steps in a repair manual and see if you are up to it. The factory service manual is available from a number of sources.

Try leaving the smooth idler off until the belt is installed and lined up, then put the smooth idler on last.

The EJ22T PCM should be controlling the fuel pump, is there a reason that it is wired through a switch? This raises other questions about the wiring done during the installation.

Good luck at your new job Hopefully your situation will start to improve soon.

The supercharger on the Mad Max car was for looks only. It didn't actually work.

I have a rubber mat out of a Legacy in the back of my Loyale.

I ordered a set and they look good.

You will need the engine crossmember from the EA82T car too. The exhaust up-pipe to the turbo won't fit without it.

I removed the stock lower radiator outlet and replaced it with a 90 degree one pointing down when I did my last EA81-EJ22 swap. Not sure if that helps or not.

Yes you do

I have had to contend with this too. I'm interested.

I would like to be on the waiting list for a pair of these if possible. They look great

The wheel arch trim was already there when I bought it.

Here is my '92 Loyale with the EJ22 and EJ 5MT conversion done. It also has the 5 lug swap done with 16's in this picture.

I have an EJ swapped '92 Loyale. I have done the EA - EJ conversion several times now. There are many positive reasons to do this swap. There are also some things to take into consideration. The conversion will most likely take longer and cost more that you expect. There are always delays and extra costs no matter how well you try to plan ahead. Next, the old EA82 Loyale that you have gotten used to will be gone. Your car will have a totally different feel to it, like a different 'personality' almost. The power to weight ratio will be awesome compared to ridiculous! I have an 88 DL with an EA82 in it too. The difference between the two cars is night and day. Good luck and please post pictures if you go for it

I have an 83 Wagon with a 4 inch lift. My Rancho 5000s went bad shortly after I installed them. I am also looking for a for durable replacement.

Chicken Test

Compression test next?

I think you are looking for Nico's Retro GL-10 build. I am having trouble posting the link this morning.
