April 21, 201015 yr ive been looking into the ej22 swap a lot lately and the wiring is stopping me from leaning more in that direction. what about new high flow heads and a msd ignition set up (i have the blaster coil, just need the disty and 10.2mm wires) for my 1.8 fi with straight pipe and GOOD muffler. think it would put enough pep in its step to satisfy me?

You'd be wasting your time on the EA82. You're pretty limited on things that can be done to make them faster without adversely affecting reliability. I'm not sure where you'd get high-flow heads either, unless RAM is making them for the EA82, I don't know. If the wiring side of things is putting you off, there is a carbed EJ18 model found in New Zealand, Aussie, and a few South American countries that runs a electronic distributor and standard carb with a carb manifold (they're quite cool, the cross-block water pipe is built into the manifold ) The good thing is there is a redundant gear drive on the passenger side of the EJ22 head, so its basically a bolt on affair. We've got quite a few in the junkyards here. They're hard to find in good nick at junkyards but I could probably try find you some and send them over. PM if you're interested, I'll check it out.

April 21, 201015 yr No tryin' to hijack the Thread but... ... there is a carbed EJ18 model found in New Zealand, Aussie, and a few South American countries ... ...and Central American Countries too, like mine also came carb'd the EJ20. I have lots of info about that, pics and Parts Numbers here: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=101887&page=3 I Hope it can be Helpful. Kind Regards.
April 21, 201015 yr If you want to stick with the ea82, really the only things you can do are get some torque cams from delta cam, play with the timing and tuning on a weber carb, and have custom dual exhaust with an x pipe made. You're wasting your money on hi-power coils, I've seen what they do to the stock disties, and it ain't pretty. I do however recommend msd plug wires, cuz you shouldn't ever have to replace them, but they are pretty expensive compared to oem Subaru plug wires. With the cams and weber and proper tuning, you should be back to about stock power-feel on the highway with 27's, and have plenty of torque for off road. -Bill
April 21, 201015 yr Author well its fi.... and i know about the coil disty deal:grin: delivery means something sometimes:rolleyes: so it looks like im kinda forced to do an ej swap for power..
April 21, 201015 yr Im runin a weber on my EJ, no computer on this thing, has a ford escort disty Edited April 21, 201015 yr by Scott in Bellingham detail
April 21, 201015 yr i can sell you a harness its the one from my EJ swapped car it all works and comes with ECU i can mark all wires for splicing it to your car. let me know might even let the EJ 2.2 legacy intake go with it has JDM coil pack and injectors with an impreza breather tube and modified aluminum MAF for a cone filter. Price for all this you ask? 450 bucks to your door step. Rob. Edited April 21, 201015 yr by subaruguru
April 21, 201015 yr Author in between a rock and a hard place on that one... whats it cost to have the harness done? $250.... whats an engine cost? $450+ so if i bought this setup (engine ecu and harness) for $450 then paid $250 to have the harness made (maybe do it myself if i wanna wait longer) that = $700 ill look into this more
April 22, 201015 yr well make me a deal nothing is set in stone... i might take 250 for my setup or... I just happen to have an ej2.2 from a 1996 impreza with the exhaust header so you would just need an adapter plate... you sir have a pm. Rob.
