Doing a engine swap on my girls subi. Putting in a ea82 w/62k until I can get all the parts for the ej22 swap. Also changing sub frames cuz the one she has is bent at the lower control arm mount. Doin new seals on the tranny too. Nice having extra parts around Thanks Clay

Didnt get anything done on brat today. Had to finish up a friends POS ford bronco II, I installed a new clutch/flywheel. Now my girls loyale is finally blew the headgasket, water is startin to get in oil. So I found a lego w/140k miles. Im goin to get that and start doin the EJ22 swap in it. Still not sure what to do bout tranny. I'd like to just get an adapter and keep here 3at for now. Later do a 4eat into it. The lego im gettin is a 5sp AWD. I might just keep the tranny, rear diff and suspen for another swap later. Looks like brat gets put on the back burner again

Does anyone know if these would be a good upgrade for my motor. I have a ea82 turbo on it and Im goin to install a wrx tmic with elect fans on it. I was thinking if I need to up grade to bigger injectors like these http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/pts/2280808816.html Im goin to be running 10psi and Im goin to be gettin in the futur sometime soon a set of delta cams for my ea81t Didnt get much done yesterday, Had to work around the house, we had to get ready for today, we are falling an old dying tree. Thanks Clay

Thanks very much guys, I asked father n law what he thought after I posted and thats what he said too. Was a kickdown switch. Thanks Clay

Thanks Scott, Heres a pic with the pugs just on the brat to get some ideas, Still not sure if I should just get tires for these pugs or do a 6lug swap and put some 6lug alloys with 27" tires, Not sure What do you fellow subi gang think? Thanks Clay

On my 84 turbo brat, Im swaping out pedals for the 5sp d/r but I noticed that it has some sort of WOT switch. Is that for the boost or something. Do I need to keep that switch? Heres a pic of the switch

I have been gathern parts for my brat. So now Im finally gettin to work on my own brat. I hope it will be done soon. Cant wait to finally drive it. Ill post pics and answer any question and hopefully you fellow subi gang can answer any question I got. This place as been the best. Heres some pics of what I got done this weekend The rear frame spacers The rear brackets I fab and welder to accept the ea82 rear springs. Heres the ea82 springs install and rear spacers Heres one of the rear diff installed in the new holes on the mustash bar The rear diff welded and painted up Heres the clutch I had made installed finally, Its kevlar on ea82 six spring disc The begin project so heres a before pics we will see as it progresses All the spare parts and extra stuff is piled in back. LOL Heres an after pic with stock wheels and new lift A good before and after pic

Finally got to start puttin the brat together. Got the rear brackets made for the ea82 rear springs painted and installed. Painted the rear springs and installed them. Got welded diff installed in the new holes in the mustash bar Made spacers for the rear frame Them installed Also got the Flywheel and clutch installed. I guess I should start a new tread now that Im actually gettin stuff done on it. Goin to make spacers for the front then make strut blocks.

No Problem SubaruGL, On that lift I did on my girls loyale. Those rear brakets are a total of 3" lift. If you cut and bend a 4" piece of FB for the rear lift I usually dont use a cross bar like I did on the 3" lift. Not really any room for one on the 2" lift in the rear. It will still be fine without the cross bar its just added strenght on the 3". I also can make a lift kit for whoever needs one. Thats what I do, work and fix up subis, lift them and customize them. GO SUBI Thanks Clay

Sweet, Thats my home town. I grew up in the gorge. This will be our first time goin to any wcss. Hopefully I will beable to bring my brat and her loyale. And guess what to all you subi gang. There is so so much 4wheelin just a couple miles away. We can all head up there. Not far from the camp ground just up the road. Hopefully my girls loyale will have the new ej22 and my brat will be done. Thanks Clay

OK subi gang. I need your help and advise. I want to just give my father n law the money he paid for the car and keep it as my build. Im slowly starting my own business out of my girls parents shop. So I need advise Subi gang. What would I exactly need, Im thinkin of gettin a parts car like a 2.2 lego. I want to swap over the ej22 and the tranny and suspension. Put some xt6 parts if I can so that its all 5lug swap and then I want put some 17" wheels and tires. Then sell the car. It will give me money to help pay bills and show some of my work off and what I can do. TIA for all your help Thanks Clay

Well did you talk wit your GF? My father n law wants it gone. He just wants some money outta it. Now I wish I would have paid for it instead of him. I just cant get over the nice interior:banana: Let me know Caboobaroo, Im goin to be postin it in the vehicle for sale section. Thanks Clay

Heres pics of the interior. Father n law wants to just sell it. Found a mpfi motor for it but its in kent wa

I dont want to. But if it comes to it yes I will sell it. But in the mean time im tryin to get it put together. I might even put ea82 sub frame under it. Ive still got to take some measurements and see. Thanks Clay

It is very possible to have 3.90's. I have had peeps on here tell me no its not but I seen 3 legos wagons with 3.90 and one with 4.11 in my junk yard here locally. Just my .02cents Thanks Clay PS Sweet brat build. Im kinda gettin to work on my brat project now.

Thanks GD, I was wanting to do that. But I think these heads are completely shot. You turn it over water, if you put some in it, will shot out of the rad like a erupting volcano with the cap off. Thanks Clay

I know. I wanted to keep it just for interior. Its sweet with black. Ive never seen black in a subi and I love it. Its like seatin in a cadi. i wanted to put everything in my girls loyale or save it for my own car lol Love that black dont really like the red part but do like the black. Just let me know. I also found out today the car was a automatic cuz on the digi dash in the corner is PRND21, but some changed it cuz it has a 5sp d/r in it. Thanks Clay

So maybe we should just sell the car like it is. Maybe someone here would be interested in swaping a ej22 into this nice gl-10. Cuz if not I could get a motor but its spfi and then you have to change the harness and if your goin to go that far might as well just do the 22 harness swap and do it that way. I dont know what else to do unless we part it out and scrap it but it such a nice car I dont wanta have to scrap it. Thanks Clay

Heres a pic of the car and motor

Yes absolutely certain that its a mpfi. Its just like the gl-10 turbos just without a turbo. Its not just a headgasket. I think the blocks got a crack in it too. Thats why It needs a complete replace of the motor. The heads are most likely cracked too. Theres water shoting out. Thats why I say it would be perfect setup for a nice wagon with a ej22 in it. Heres a pic of the car.

We just got a nice 85 gl-10. Its got tinted windows 5sp d/r and its a ea82 MPFI non turbo. The car needs a new motor but the heads have the dual ports for the intake cuz of the mpfi. So we cant just put any ea82 in it. I dont know if the heads are any good. The car runs but water is in the oil and there is alot of different lines unhooked for the intake. The question is would anyone be interested in buying the whole car and just swaping a ej into it. Its halfway ready with the mpfi. I dont have the money to buy the adapters and harness and motor for the swap. Im goin to take the rear disc brakes off and put on drum brake that I have. I just dont know what to do with the car yet. It has the digi dash with black and red interior. The body is straight except the driver fender by the parklight. Let me know what your guys thoughts are and what you think I should do. Thanks Clay

Welded up my 3.90 and painted it.

I can make you a 2" lift kit. Just pm and let me know if you want one. Heres a pic of the lift kit I make. Heres some pics of a couple cars I have built lift kits for and installed. Thanks Clay

Im probably going with the first ones that I posted. They are made outta the same composite as truck tires and they are 6ply. I can get 26x10x14 for 91 a piece at my local bike/atv/utv store. They sell all their tires at cost wholesale price. They dont measure exactly what size they say. But it goin on my brat and all Im goin have for a lift rite now is the arms clocked and rx front springs and kyb gr2 struts when I can get some. Thanks Clay
