I haven't done anything yet, I can't find a decent legacy. mudrat forgot to email me the cost of the kit & shipping - but from his origonal thread he said it was $525. the shipping would be expensive because of the weight of the flywheel and the size of it and the adaptor yes, SUBARINO! when you get your diagrams, plaese email to arachiss@aol.com DO NOT USE MY EMAIL ON THE BOARD -IT DOESN'T WORK. I am going to try an add in the paper to find a rusted out legacy with a decent engine.

I went to the yard yesterday, he ddn't have any legacy engines, I asked what he would charge for one with everything on it, with the ecu and wiring, he said, $140!!!!! anyway, the next least expensive is 350 with trade and no eco or wiring so I am going to check in with this guy every once and a while untill he gets one.

oh and do you think I would have any problems using the stock radiator and just rebending the pipes? no tripple core I mean would a legacy radiator fit in there?

I was leaning toward getting the kit and using an xt6 clutch, probabaly almost as good as the performance one. well, I am heading off to the yard, wish me luck

ok, i mailed both of them about what happened, and gave them my working email address

oh crap, thas why I didn't get any mail back from you two, it got sent to my old yahoo email account, which has been deactivated for a long time now. could you resend it to arachiss@aol.com?

yeah its going into my brat I know I can make the plate, I have a machine shop class here at penn college, I can cut it out there, what I was more concerned about was what else was included in mudrats kit, he says adaptor, drilled out xt6 flywheel (how much better is this over a regular one?)how do you drill the flywheel out? and "vairous mounting hardware" I wanted to know what that was to see if the cost was justified. and I am afraid of screwing it up. also, do i need bratsurus1's kit to make my ea82 transmission fit? or was it just for cosmetic stock looks. I have recieved a reply from neither of them yet. updated list: legacy - engine&stuff, ecu, wiring, throttle cable/pedal, exhaust headders. ea82 - flywheel (if I don't get his kit), bellhousing & all the clutch stuff, transmission, driveshaft. (repair manual says I need it) can you look for that diagram subarino? the guy at kennedy is giving me a hard time, and I think it was written specifically for going to a vanagon subarino, what "heavy duty clutch" did you use on your car? AND... you modified the ea81 radiator "Used existing radiator... modified with tripple core and inlets were made larger and bent in the appropriate directions" how was that acomplished, especially the tripple core?

ok, so just get an ea82 efi pump. and I am going stock exhaust to the end of the headders, after that I'll make a 2 1/4 inch copy of my old exhaust. (its not stock, but still too small) the old is the same diameter as stock, but it Y's off into dual exhausts right after the tank, with nice chrome tips while waiting for the reply from bratsrus1 and mudrat, I called a local junkyard, they said 350 for a running enigne with a trade, I am going to hoovers yard to see if he can give me a better deal I got a reply from kennedy, they said they have the diagram if I am using it on a vw transaxle? how would the transmission matter? oh hey, when I email through the forums, it sends them a regular email right?

I am looking for this at the junk yard: a 1990 - 1994 Subaru legacy = engine, ecu, wiring harness, (from a manual tranny car, for the simpler ecu and harness) Ea82 Subaru gl wagon = 4wd 5 speed transmission clutch & bearings Also an ea82 turbo fuel pump I will later get the engine swap kit (i emailed mudrat about it) and the transmission swap kit (i emailed jerry) My questions are; Have I left anything out (or gotten anything wrong) of the above list? and is there anything I have to be careful about when looking for parts, like is there a wrong type that won't work of the above list? Especially on the engine, is there any type of 2.2 I should avoid? subarino used a surge tank, is it necessary? About the exhaust, mine is the same diameter, but cat-back is not stock, it goes dual right after the gas tank, how could I set this up? get the manifold from the ej22 and adapt it to the old exhaust, or would that be too restrictive? I listed getting a fuel pump from an ea82 turbo because I read it else where, is this because it is easier to install than the legacy pump? Should I just get the legacy pump instead? Where can I get a wiring diagram for the legacy engine, I have emailed Kennedy engineering, but does anybody know of another (and free-er) source? That’s all the questions for now, this looks like a very difficult swap, but I am dedicated to getting this done, my brat needs MUCH more power.

first: it depends on your area. I recomend you call around to junkyards and ask about the costs, remember you need alot of different parts, I have done alot of research and I am going to start a thread about my qusetions. here is subarinos origonal thread http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=17327 i suggest you do ALOT of research, I have been planning this for a long time and I still have questions

are you doing a set for next year? if so where should I send in pictures of my brat? (email address) thanks

do you guy know what the differences would be if you wanted to put a EA81 4speed d/r into a loyale? I will eventually have that and a loyale with a destroyed auto laying around. hmm.....

after I posted I put the other filter on and took it for a drive: IT DIDN'T DO IT!!!!! YES!!!! sorry for doubting you qman. now to see if it was just a fluke and test it on the highway tomorrow

that sounds normal for my loyale, it had the 3speed.

I replaced the one in the engine bay, but not the one under the car, do you think that the filters are really the cause of this, how? not high engough fuel pressure? I have done so far: adjusted timing adjusted valves replaced cap, rotor, wires fixed exhaust leak the carb secondary mod

a legacy conversion would be more worthwile

I went to advance auto, they didn't have any gaskets for it

the choke is working alright, I am going to go to advance auto in about a half hour, I'll get fuel filters too.

I got them at a local place in-town. those are for what he said goes to a 1981 brat, beause the ones he had listed for an 84 brat were these soft metal ring things. (???) I know he has no idea what he was doing, I forgot that when I listed it earlier.

put on new cap & rotor, it made no difference

it's a 2wd model engine, I took the cap down and found a replacement. The gasgets are not the same, I mean the gasgets that connect the y-pipe to the heads, what I got looked just like the gasgets that were on it, but the bolt holes were a little too far apart, I had to cut out a small piece to make it fit, but that, with the need for new bolts/nuts there, makes it loud

were nippon denso's the 2wd ones? because thats what it is

it goes like this: at full or near full throttle, it starts cutting out. today on the way to the college I had to drop from 70 to 55 to go up a hill (any more gas and it would have cut out) - you know how you have to floor it for hills there is a problem, I don't know what year the engine is from (it was replaced before I got it), and also what timing is specific for the engine. I got a new cap and rotor for it, but it didn't fit, also we changed the timeing and it made no difference, still does it. cap, rotor, tune up. got it, I'll figure out what its from oh and also, could the sceondary barrel on the carb somehow be causing this? the vac line to the secondary was cut and plugged, along with 4 others. maybe he did it for a reason. P.S. I removed the vac valve to the sec. and did the 1/3 throttle carb mod.

the engine keeps cutting out when it is under stress, like full throttle or going up hills, this makes it very hard to drive, because it can only go slow, or it would cut out.

that is a good Idea, I woudn't have thought of that. is there any other way to tell, like the number on the engine? (is there one?)
