I put a liberty 5MT + EJ22 engine into my brumby/brat it had a speed sensor where the cable for the speedo sits. the speed sensor was removed and the cable slotted/screwed directly in and still works to this day. TOONGA

It would be easier to change the speedo gear in the transmission, but you would still need to split the transmission to do so. Jaycar (I think) does a kit that will change the gearing of the cable to match the speedo. or you could work out where your speed limits are with GPS and pull the speedo apart and put in a KM/H face. TOONGA

it could be the coil pack or the ignition relay(well hidden under the dash orange relay) or the igniter(under bonnet) Have you checked for codes? TOONGA

I have rear discs off an "L" series on my brumby http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14597 this image shows the splines this image shows 2WD HUBS FROM Loyale 2.7 Turbo they bolt straight on once you fight the drums off TOONGA

Not strange I had flooding issues with a 320/350 holley as they are designed for 3 litre plus motors eg big 6 cylinder motors or small V8 motors even my ADM34 is a stretch on a 2.2 litre motor.(let the arguments commence:) ) for what I wanted the holley was overkill, it was free and I ended up spending near 150 dollars on it which included the cams, rebuild kit, a new power valve (suited to the engine) new jets (suited to the engine) and countless hours of trying to tune it so it ran smoothly, I gave up and sold it for what cost to rebuild it. I was looking and still am looking for a way to have a daily driver that isn't too expensive to run but still fun off road, without having to cut down a loom and find somewhere to hide an ECU so it doesn't get destroyed. In the end it depends on what you are going to do with this motor what car/ buggy it will go into and how often it gets driven. As for the SPFI or carby manifold the inlet woud be machined and welded to suit a weber design. As for the EFI over carby dizzy setup ... I won't get into which is better because both have their good points and bad points. TOONGA

Phiz the holley was a 350 and even though I rebuilt it and re jetted it to suit the motor, it would flood off idle then when it finally ran it was all power and no controlability. I even had a whole array of cams for the acelerator pump but none made a difference. If you can find a SPFI or carby manifold like the one shown here http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/108209-ej-fsm-carb-info/?do=findComment&comment=912770 (get me one as well) it will go a long way to lowering the profile of the whole set up. your other alternative is a custom manifold. TOONGA

Still looking no luck anywhere here in Australia. TOONGA

Check my thread on AUsubaru http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15851&page=24 I have an ADM34 (ford weber) on an EJ22 it is a progressive 34mm twin barrel rejetted with a 130 main and 135 secondary (I think) with 50 idle jets. I did use a 32/36 weber for quite a while but foud it lacked low down power when i went off road. The manifold is from an EJ16 motor http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showpost.php?p=141108&postcount=18 the plenum was cut flat and an adaptor plate was welded in place, I originally had a 320 holley on the motor but it was way too rich and well a holley I use a lucas dizzy and matched coil (very important) from a ford escort as it is way shorter than the MK3 dizzy for ignition http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showpost.php?p=169848&postcount=627 I get 8 litres to 100kms on the highway 10 to the 100 in town and lots and lots of power off road Good luck with it TOONGA

Was it an aftermarket thermostat ? if so get a new one as most are lucky to last more than a year (unless they are a very good brand) TOONGA

The EJ20 turbo will need the chassis rails cut and modified for the motor to fit. the early EJ18, EJ20, EJ22 and EJ25 single cam motors do not need this modification done. You will need to make a crossmember to suit the AWD gearbox and a tailshaft. A high pressure fuel pump, upgraded fuel lines and a surge tank are required for the fuel side of things. Finally you will need a cut down harness and the ECU to run the motor. It is well worth it TOONGA ps sound familiar http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24110

I put a smiley in because I know how hard they can be to fit installation on a v8 manifold TOONGA

tried to watch the video but got told it is private? check that the dual range lever is working properly, if it is stuck between the hi and low your box is out of gear and the car won't go anywhere. TOONGA

I'm still looking for one of these EJ SPFI manifolds anyone? TOONGA

bumping this to see if anyone can help (sorry) TOONGA

It has been a while but Im still on the look out for one of these manifolds... Anyone? TOONGA

You could use the EA82 manifold it came off of, there are plenty of threads on the board about it, but since the board swap alot have lost their photos. TOONGA

for every 25mm of lift you need to offset the top of the strut blocks (the bolts) (towards the engine) 6-7mm. not sure what this works out to in imperial. some more info and and image or 2 http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20061 http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21041 http://offroadingsubarus.com/forum/index.php?topic=697.0 http://z15.invisionfree.com/Mv_Brat_Brumby/index.php?showtopic=134 TOONGA

Some times the flex plate gives way where it is bolted to the crank, it doesnt happen very often but it can happen. otherwise the torque converter can fail or the c solenoid. As stated these boxes generally run for ever until something goes wrong, and when it does normally it is cheaper to get a working replacement. I looked at prices for a recon box here in Australia and the cheapest I could find was $3500 dollars not installed. yet a working replacement from the wreckers was 350 dollars. TOONGA

good to see he got out of that alive and barely injured ... love the question "can we save the engine?" you could cut it out with a reciprocating saw, but from the look of the wreck the bellhousing will be toast and the front of the engine will need a new everything. TOONGA

very nicely done, lots of interesting viewing there. TOONGA

I can tell you the soleniods are for the idle circuit, they need ignition switched power to turn them on and when the ignition is turned off so do the solenoids. I had one of these motors in an MY wagon and in low range it was very hard to bog ... the only way I could bog it was leave the tyres completely inflated and have the car full of people, and as soon as the tyres were deflated it would dig it self out of the sand with 5 people in the car.

damn things have gone up in price again. I thought I got had when I bought one from the UK for 25 dollars. the same seller now wants 31 dollars before postage. Apparently they are in the Australian shops yet to see one TOONGA
