Turbone Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 This is an unfinished ej-ej swap in a 95 impreza. In 2007 I got a twin turbo legacy motor, had the heads rebuilt, got single turbo exhaust manifolds & up/down pipe, turbo, intercooler, intake and lots of other bits. And for the last 3 years there its sits on a stand just about ready togo. Everytime I think about finishing it, gas goes up so I put it off so I can stick with the cheap gas. Gas probably wont come down for a long time, if ever. So instead of letting that engine sit there and collect dust, why not sell it? I'm looking for another EJ22T, hint hint.

KootenayJK Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I can't say I never finished, I just didn't finish yet. I had to wait a few months for the huge mounds of snow to subside. Just about ready to get back at 'er, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 well i guess i could say i started to gather parts for the swap. I think i accidently sold my last ej22t ecu. but still have ej22t longblock, crossmember, maf miscellaneous, etc.....maybe someday not anytime soon...

subyrally Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 i just started a new job that pays rather well, so maybe i can actually save enough money to do my swap, finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subyrally Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 i finally started on the brat wrx swap. i am still getting parts in, waiting on the engine and trans and a few other little bits, but its all on the way. overthe weekend, i stripped out the engine bay of everything but the engine itself since it got to be too hot to keep working and i didt have any help or an engine hoist. i need to find a turbo brat crossmemeber or get mine notched for the exhaust. thats going to be fun.

jzacher85 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I just picked up the project car of a member on here and am having it shipped here. ej22 into a GL '87. It runs, but there are bugs. I dont know what I am getting myself into! I will be rough trying to figure out what was done to it and what needs to be done. I also have a dented 1980's brat sitting in my yard that needs work. Too many projects! -Jesse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e2thewags Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I have had my soob for about 1.5 yrs in non-running/stored, just started getting into the thing for about a week now and im hooked..my brother had it before me too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I drove mine home the other nite. The driveshaft rubs on my carrier mount, and there is a fuel leak opposite of the pump. Otherwise, it drives, is finished, except for hooking up the gauges and the VSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drugh Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I started my first swap about 3 weeks ago, and it is 99% finished except for a few small details. I have Suberdave trim my wiring harness, which was a really good descision in retrospect. I think the electrical is where people get hung up and then the project stalls out. Amazing increase in power, and overall a much smoother ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
