LPGsuperchargedBrumby

ouch...famous last words.....

mikie i've sent you a PM

nice...........i want some

bolt out....bolt in. you'll need to extend a couple of wires for your oil pressure and water temp sensors. the coil also needs moved to rear of the engine bay cos the dizz is on the back end of one of the heads. not sure about the exhaust pipe (i didn't look under the conversion i saw)

hey Matt, did you get it all to work.......what was the dyno results if ya did?

matty b with the ej22 Brumby has looked at swapping ej18 heads onto his motor but decided against it as the ej18 heads are too restrictive.

YEAH!!!! you got a good head on your shoulders girl!!!!

id like to see a legacy go some of the places that i've been in my brumby....i've seen a legacy stuck due to lack of approch/departure clearance where the old mans '82 2wd toyota hiace van went through without a drama. besides all those electrics really don't like water

don't need ecu and harness if i get ej18 heads...i've got a distributor and inlet inlet manifold off a carbureted ej18....

if i could easily get a ej22 i would, but im in new zealand and we didn't get many ej22's. EJ20 dohc and ej18's are easy to get hold of here (ej25's are so expensive that its not even funny) an ej20 sohc would be the bomb, but most here are dohc

bump

im guessing that someone got lazy..... if it works properly why worry.

there isn't anying that i can't fix myself with my own tool kit. complex electronics suck

from what i have read its possible to swap sohc heads (ej18) to a dohc ej20 n/a block. this would allow me to swap an ej20 into a brumby without cutting the frame rails. i know that swapping ej18 heads onto a ej22 gives about 11 or 12:1 compression ratio.....anyone got any idea of what the compression would be if the same heads went onto a ej20 n/a block? (im disregarding the smaller valves and passages in the ej18 heads as i don't want a high RPM motor,bottom end and midrange are more important to me)

try cleaning the contactors in the high-low beam switch, my fathers mazda truck does the same thing every so often, a few minutes work with a bit of fine sandpaper and its all business again

shouldn't need to modify things if you pick your parts right, it should be plug-an-play

ethanol's fuel/air ratio is 9:1 menthanol's 6:1 petrol's 14.7:1 LPG 15.8:1 diesels F/A ratio changes from 60+:1 at idle to as low as 8:1 under full power+heavy load

disty/ carb/ intakemanifold cost $150 the guy dosn't have any more, but you might want get your guy that sourced you current dizz to look for a ej18 carb distributor they in the early model ('89?) legacy DL i think, i will keep a eye open for one for ya though. if you do find one, get the backing/adjustment plate as well.

backfiring- chuck a timing light on it you might get lucky and only have timing out. pull the carb apart an give it a serious degunk

they don't change the oil...however over here about 80% of the cars on the road are used jap imports and we don't have much problem with the engines that that didn't get an oil change till they hit the used car lots here. thats not to say that a few of them don't go bang but its not generally a consideration when buying a used import vs used NZ new. if the comp's are good and it dosen't make any untoward noises i wouldn't worry about it

Matt, did you have to space your crossmember down so the intake manifold would clear the bonnet? i just read a ea to ej thread on AUsubaru and it was talking about having to put spacers in to lower the enginemount crossmember 25mm

the EJ box requires some tunnel and driveshaft (front and tailshaft) mods as well as converting to a hydraulic clutch. if i swap to an EJ motor i'll be making the adapter plate

last time i cleaned alloy wheels (that were off a Landrover of all things) i found a enginneering firm with an ultrasonic cleaning bath then used a polishing attachment on a hand held drill......99% of the hard work taken care of. Last 1% was final hand polish.

yeah its electriconic, i bought it off trademe website the dizz ,carb an intake manifold is off a carbureted ej18 DL model Legacy i think LPGsuperchargedWonderbrumby is a tad long don't you think..........

i just got my hands on a ej sohc distributor and carburetor setup that was last run on a ej22 in a jetboat. ej18 'real' disty, carb and carb intake manifold (and fuel pump, coil etc) now i just gotta find a sohc ej20 or 22 (ej18 as last resort)
