EJ22 engine and tranny swap questions

Featured Replies

i just picked up a 1999 Subaru EJ22 engine and manual 5 speed transmission. This set-up came out of a 1999 Impreza sedan with 100,000 miles, The package includes everything to do a complete engine swap i hope !! engine, transmission, complete wiring harness and ECU (ECM). Includes intake, throttle body, wiring, ignition, AC compressor, Alternator, Power steering pump and a ACT Streetlite lightweight racing flywheel

so where do i start ?

can i use The 1999 transmission ? it is AWD 5speed with 3.9 final drive, and includes rear drive shaft (prop shaft). .

if not what tranny can i use ?

will this engine work in a brat ? its a 1999 Impreza sedan ej22

anyone in Portland looking for some $ide work that could help out with the install or and the wiring ? i thought their was someone that does the harness work on the board

do i use the ACT Streetlite lightweight racing flywheel out of the 1999 doner or will my centerforce stage 2 clutch work out of my ea81 ?

so many questions !!!!

have you read the conversion manual? that should get you turned in the right direction...

using the impreza trans, you'll run into issues with the driveshaft, axles (25 spline, as discussed in the RX thread), crossmembers, linkage, etc.

 

or, use your EA81 trans with an adapter plate. not an ideal trans for the project, but it would work, and would require less fabrication.

 

 

I do the harness modifications. your first message didn't have a return email address.....but I just replied to your last one.
