For the ej swap, do I need the ej harness for the alternator, or can I just wiring it using the existing wires from the EA.

OK thank you. I'm trying to pull the harness for my EJ swap.

Pulling out the dash on a 96 Subaru outback. I have pulled the center console, instrument panel, glove box, and all those goodies. Undid the bolts on the side by the doors, two by the windshield, and the ones under. It wiggles but it seems something is stopping it from coming out on the passanger side. My question is do you have to remove the passenger air bag? If so how? Or is there just a bolt or two that I can't seem to find? Thanks

Does anyone have a 2.2 bulk wire harness from a 97 legacy that they might be willing to let go off? I bought just a EJ22 engine and not a whole donor car. I have the engine harness and ecu, just need the wiring to run the engine and other necessaries for the EJ swap. I looked online and can't find one, called all the salvage yards in my area and all they have are 2.5s. Very close to having the ol GL done, but can't do Jack without the wiring.

I have the 2.2 engine and it's harness. But I need the rest of the wiring. Computer to engine. I found a 2.5 wiring. Will that work, or is it different?

Thank you. So will I need to swap out all the wiring with my 85? Would a harness form a 2.5 work?

And also what type of fuel pump should I use? To run injection.

I'm in the middle of an EJ22 swap with my 85 GL. I managed to pick up an engine, but did not get the whole donor car. I would like to know what wiring harness is needed for the swapped engine to run. Just from the ECU to the necessary engine components? Any help would be great!!! Thanks.

I have one of my old EA82.

Thanks the advice. I need to get a donor car for parts. Only bought the Ej. Or find a harness and ecu on line.

With the ea82/ej22 swap, what part of the EJ wiring harness do I need? Just the engine harness, or the harness from the whole car?

Where are these connects located. I'll give em a look. I'm just driving this for now while I do the EJ22 swap on my 85 GL, so don't really want to dump money into it. Just seeing if it might be something stupid and simple. If not I'll just drive it like it is until I get the 85 done.

I picked up a 96'Legacy out back with the EJ25 for $200. The trans seems to not shift from third, up or down. On drive it starts of I third and stays, no overdrive or other gears. Reverse works fine, a lil jumpy when you shift into it. Shifting to first alone the car won't hardly move it all as if the brakes are locked up. I changed the fluid and filter but nothing changed. Inspected the solenoid, seemed to be fine. Any you know what's going on or had this problem?

I picked up just the EJ engine but don't have the car. It didnt come with any wires or cables. Do I have to use an EJ throttle cable or can I use the original from the EA. And what kind of radiator mods needs to be done? How much did it cost you to do it all?

Last week my 85 gl threw a rod. So now it's time for a new engine. I thought I might as well go ahead and do the EJ22 swap. I already have the engine out of a 97 Legacy. Anyone who has done this can you share some insight. I remember reading a post about the walk through of the swap awhile back, but I can't seem to find it now. I know I need the flywheel redrilled and a bell house adapter. What else am I going to need? Any mod to the stock engine mounts or will it line up. All the help you guys can share would be awesome.

I figured it out, the feul pump was working fine.looked under the dash and found a disconnected wire that went to the injectors.started right up.

Oh and it has the 2.4L Z24i engine with electro injection

So I have this 87 Nissan hard body that sat through winter. Before it ran just fine, now not so much. When I first tried to mess with it, it wouldn't start up at all with out the help of starter fluid. After a bit of playing with it and spray in carb cleaner through some of the hoses sand jets, it start up, idle smooth for a couple seconds then dies out. When I try to give it gas, it'll kill it faster. It'll run while spraying fluid into the carb, but wont on its own. Anyone know what's up, or how to fix it?

What would be the proper adjustment on the fuel/air mix?

Ok ill do a vacuum test next time I'm in the shop, see what it shows.

The pistons we're pretty tight when they went back in.

I kept the old pistons, because they were like new (.002" worn), still had hatching.

It's like a 5-10 mpg difference
