i could have sworn i just read abut a jdm ej20t motor but ok a 5 speed that will match up pretty easy to an ej motor and still fit in tje 88 dl

ok im putting a ej20t motor in my DL now what tranny do i need sorry im new to all this car stuff so just work with me ill have plenty more questions

now ive narrowed it down to the ej22 now do i go for the turbo or not and also whats a 4wd tranny running these days i think id like to put one of those in as well thanks for all the help guys

what would i need to if i just slapped a turbo on it. would it just be easier to put a ea82t in there and do as much as i could to that or what

the EA82 thats in it right now is just wasnt working well like just not working ive been thinking about the ej22 but are there any other engines that arent subaru that would work

that my question i would like some input from you guys nothing too hard but will be fun and get some good power at the same time

ok im not the best at reading every post on here so i ve gotta a few? first im ripping out the ea82 out of my 88 DL along with tranny 5spd 88 even in a 5spd just isnt very fun when my van picks up faster than it i want a bigger engine and 4wd now ive sen alot about these ej22 moters and stuff i just wanna know whats this gonna cost me and what would be the best stuff for me to use please answer

ok i need all the help i can get here guys what engine should i use

ok so my 88 DL ea82 5mt needs an up heres what i want faster, awd(if possible), good offroad not like mudding but you know dirt roads, fun to drive and a 5spd what can i do and how much you guys will help me build this car

1988 DL thats all it is bone stock 1.8 thats all i want something that will be faster and will def work in the car i was thinking if i could make it 4x4 that would be great but if i cant then i want something fast.

sadly im in the US

so i burnt the clutch on my 360 dollar DL so i figured this gives me a good reason to go ahead and do and engine and tranny swap what kind of engine and tranny do you guys suggest not too sure on what to do i mean i bought the car 3days ago so i dont know much about them

alright your on! where can i find a manual for this car maybe a nice free downloadable one

oh yeah and the check engine light is always one and blinks when it revs high

maybe it does backfire almost took my eyes out we removed the hose from the intake box to see if it would make a difference i got to see a nice firework from 2 feet away. lol. after that we looked in the throttle body and it was smoking quite a bit not sure on what that ment. we are planning to take a look at the spark plugs tomorrow and maybe an oil change. the oil in there right now seems to be doing alright tho not super black maybe 1500 miles in or so but who knows how long its been in there. thanks for all your help too
