Thank you!

I need to learn how or where to accomplish this on a custom length driveshaft I have. Thanks for the start.

I have had that same 4 inch SJR EA81 lift kit on my 1983 GL 4WD Wagon for about 12 years now and I am very happy with it. It doesn't eat axles - same ones are still in there and it handles great. I used a Forester steering shaft and it fit right in. I think it was from a '98 or so. I have an EJ22 in mine so I can't offer an opinion about the Weber conversion or the exhaust but I hear they are worth while upgrades. Good luck with your project!

Check with Painless Wiring for the fuse box. I have installed several Painless wiring harnesses in street rods over the years. Very good products and the fuse boxes are nice. https://www.painlessperformance.com/ All my best to you and your family. So sorry for the loss of your father.

I used Loctite 518 flange sealant on mine but you can use Fuji Bond, Toyota Bond, etc just don't use rtv. There is no gasket between the case halves. There is a special oval shaped o-ring in there though.

What cross member are you using? I have an EJ22 and an EJ 5 speed in a 92 loyale with no problems. As I remember I had to use part of an XT6 cross member (was hard to find).

These calipers have problematic parking brake mechanisms. Even if you assemble it perfectly it may not work right. I gave up and ordered a set from Rock Auto for my '88 Wagon. It took me (5) calipers to get 1 set with functioning parking brakes. Fortunately Rock Auto was really good about it but it was still a mess. I wish you the best of luck. If you get a good working set make sure and keep your brake fluid flushed and clean so they last as long as possible.

Can you elaborate on this? Is it the immobilizer technology that makes the newer engine swaps so difficult? Is there a work around?

The EA81 and EA82 do share the same main and rod bearings.

It's even easier on "these old cars"

Are you looking for an ECU Pinout? It's in the FSM. You should be more specific.

Some people pay crazy money for camber mods like that

This is Awesome! Keep the pictures and posts coming

I am just about ready to put the EJ22T in my Loyale. This step is about 5 years overdue! The wiring is finally done. I am going to need a down pipe from the turbo to the rest of the exhaust. Is there an "off the shelf" down pipe from some other Subaru model that will work? I have an EJ22T turbo flange if I have to have one custom made. I also have a stock EA82T down pipe but it won't fit on the 22T's turbo. Any ideas short of having it towed to the exhaust shop? Thanks for any advice.

What are you using for a down pipe from the turbo to the rest of the exhaust? Is there a bolt on pipe from some other model that will work?

Lil Red has found a new home in California. The way I understand it the engine will be going into one car and the trans into another. At least all of the parts found a good home

Do you have any pictures or perhaps a build thread? I have an EJ22T myself that is long overdue to be installed. I would like to see yours.

My EJ runs quite a bit more oil pressure than the old EA81 it seems. I adapted the EA81 oil pressure sender to the EJ22 no problem. Thing is after a few days it blows the seal on the EA81 oil sending unit and it leaks oil everywhere. After buying 3 of them I gave up. Let me know how you make out.

My '83 EA81 Wagon had this rack already installed when I got it. At every place the rack was attached I noticed a little rust starting. I ended up removing mine and filling all the holes. I had to repaint the entire roof, just a thought. They do look nice though. I still have 2 different styles of racks in the garage for a someday project. Thanks for the pic. Everyone on here likes the pictures

It seems like this information would be valuable to someone looking to do a suspension alteration or upgrade. I have struts/knuckles out of a '93 Impreza with Loyale top hats in my '92 Loyale with XT6 lower control arms. I would be curious how close my '93 Impreza struts compare to GL/RX/Loyale? Perhaps I could find a firmer strut/spring combination than the stock Impreza ones.

I was wondering if the weight includes the back loaded with cargo at it's limit? I know I have had 1000 lbs of wood pellets in the back of a Brat before.

I wonder if that is the weight loaded? Sounds about right.

Many thanks that's it!

1. Yes it will. Look at the ECU pinout in the archive. Find the pin on the ECU connectors for Auto/Manual trans and connect it accordingly. 2. Anything not related to the EFI system. Using a wiring diagram identify and label all of the engine related connectors and wires. Pay close attention to power and grounds too. Carefully follow the other wires and prune them out. Lights, Heater, Wipers etc. 3. Your Brat ECU won't do anything anymore. You can leave it in and pull the fuse or just pull it out all together. I have done a few of these and it works out great.
