  1. If you do decide to put an engine in from CCR, you might want to think of putting in the EJ22, less power, but way better reliability. ~Josh~
  2. that i believe is the ground for the starter as you said, the big red one is your power, make sure both are connected really well. ~Josh~
  3. remember to press brake pedal slowly and not fast, will froth brake fluid if you go fast. ~Josh~
  4. take your "Y" pipe off car, take good sized urethane mallet or hammer will work, betatthe bejesus out of the thing, there are two sections of catalyst in the "Y" pipe, bang up, down, back, front, side, side and shake the crud out the ends, i did this will good success, but there will be some left over metal mesh wire and some other pieces of metal in there, im going to cut my cat open and remove it, it rattles when engine goes from a higher rpm than idle back down to idle, no beuno. it may take some time, i had to drill a hole for the 02 sensor in my "Y" pipe so i had a hole to stab the stuff with a screwdriver. good luck. ~Josh~
  5. it turns out that i indeed had the wrong wire hooked up to the sender, i made a "Y" out of electrical connectors to send one signal to ecu and other to my stock gauge, works good, like 25 psi at idle fully warmed up, motor runs great, clutch slips like crazy with lots of gas, should have definately taken John's advice and gotten the XT6 pressure plate, you know what they say, hindsight is always 20/20. which brings me to my next question, is there any other pressure plates, aftermarket or current use in production that have the same bolt pattern as the EA82's? while rumaging through the PAP i saw a legacy Pres. plate, they look alot alike. i know the legacy clutches are about the same diameter, just wondering, need more clamping force, clutch is a year old with like 10k on it so no big deal there. any help is appreciated. ~Josh~
  6. whoa, good thing she was probably wearing her seatbelt. hope she has collision, and a good chiropractor. ~Josh~
  7. now the only question is is why cant i find the tach output signal from the ecu and how the heck do i post pics? awesome project number 1 is done, just need to prove it to you guys. any info is cool peeps. ~Josh~
  8. so by upping your fuel pressure by almost 20 pounds you made and extra 4-5 hp and 4-5 ft lbs of torque, sounds good to me. ~Josh~
  9. givin you a pat on the back for that one. ~Josh~
  10. one fan is for your a/c, it sucks aditional air through a/c rad. and coolant rad. at least im pretty sure. half a gallon is a big deal, that is like a fifth of the total coolant in the car. look under oil filler cap for the tell-tale milky residue and oil in overflow. ~Josh~
  11. okay.......it runs............just need to wire up harness to a switched source, it still runs when i turn key off, it was the ignitor, bought a used one from PAP and it fired right up. oil sender is not working, think i connected wrong wire form EA82 motor, wouldnt surprise me. clutch needs adjustment, and slips alot right now, takes off like a bat outta hell though man, jees that thing takes off, left 45 foot long gravel/slightly muddy burnout, both right tires, need to hook up tach wire, does anyone know what pin out is the tach on the 1991 5mt ECU? on other models it is pin C16, on this ecu pin C16 goes to the instrument panel.......so ........im guessing it is the same. anyone know how to burp the cooling system to get all the air out of it, like exactly how, tried jacking it up when i put coolant in it, got a gallon of coolant in it, now i pour like an 1/8 cup of coolant in it and it comes to the top of the rad cap, then slightly burps and goes down. i did the wiring right after all. so proud of that. now time to get tags and registration for it and switch insurance. it is a beautiful day. ~Josh~
  12. you have a 90 and 91 justy? i didnt know they made them in 90's. of course i dont really knew much about justy's. ~Josh~
  13. ya fuel is not an issue as long as there is enough pressure, i dont have a fuel pres. gauge on it but i hooked it up right, had + and - on the pump, wired it to the run position in the ign, do i have to somehow bleed the injectors? i dont know if i have spark, sometimes it sounds like it wants to turn over, my dad thinks that my partially charged battery doesnt have enough power to power the injecton and stuff. i have a good battery, just wasnt charged fully, ima try charging it fully and switching ignitor modules. i am confident i did the wiring write, but you know good ole' Murphy. with fuel injection i know its simple, make sure you have fuel, spark, and you did the wiring right and have everything grounded and powered that needs to be grounded and powered and it SHOULD start. i knew i would have to do some troubleshooting. for those that have helped me so far, you are the stinky-ca-ca. ~Josh~
  14. god i love you guys.................no not that way sicko's. I so hope that is true Legacy777.
  15. and oh ya, i dont have the I/P, just have the wires for it lol. not liking what your going to say i just know it. ~Josh~
  16. i thought that the new 6 speed has like 85% effeciency, and has less power loss than any other subie tranny made before. i read that somewhere, probably nabisco. ~Josh~
  17. do the EA82 and EJ motors use the same style Pressure Plate, with the same bolt pattern? would like to know, they look alot alike, throwing it out there to the wolves. ~Josh~
  18. god i wish i could enter into a ice race, or hell any place that has ice that i can drive on for petes sake. ~Josh~
  19. me too......your tranny has the lower numerical front diff. you need to swap the 4.11 LSD unit inside the pumpkin, into your RX rearend ring gear, the big one, there is a write up on how to do this, follow it to the "T" and you should be fine, and if not ask here. ~Josh~
  20. alrighty, ecu is from a 1991 legacy 5MT, saved the wires for the CEL, question, does the ecu have a light inside the ecu box, or is it dash related, like the instrument panel kinda thing. if it on the I/P ima have to dig threw the wires harnes and find the I/P wires ............great.......... ~Josh~
  21. sounds like a typical swap related problem, got the wiring in and motor sensors all hooked up and all the ground and power wires that i saved from the harness put in their places, havent got the tach wire hooked up yet, got gas in gas tank and fuel pump wired in to the ignition system, works very well btw. plugs seem to be fine, no clue on the plug wires though. the oxygen sensor is plumbed in and hooked up, come on austin hook a brother up with some advice, the motor i put in probably hasnt run in like 8 months or so im guessing. got the 2 ecu always hot wires wired in and fused with their proper amperage fuses, yes the thought of me having done the wiring wrong has crossed my mind every 5 seconds for the past 3 hours. tried the starting fluid trick, didnt work as you can obviously tell, my dad says it sounds like it wants to start but he thinks the battery isnt fully charged enough to crank it over, the battery was dead when i started wrenching on the car today, i think its the same problem John has with the BEAST. i dont know whats wrong, someone please advise, i am stuck. HELP!!!!!!!!!!! ~Josh~
  22. whats the low range ratio on them? and how much for tranny and shipping. ~Josh~
  23. you can keep the body, you just have to ditch anyhitng that attaches to the motor, transmission or rear diff.........i know your thinking, is that all...........bah....thats nothin. go to nasioc and post the thread and they will give you a better answer than i can. but that is just what ive learned from that forum about this subject. ~Josh~
  24. an automatic from a subaru? if so then get one of the same generation or near the model year of the motor, if not a trans from a subie you will have to make some sort of adapter to mate the subie motor and the non-subie trans. more info needed for better explanation. ~Josh~
