renob123 Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 That's great! Thanks for the correction Just had to say something because it made me laugh when I read that. Heh, those two are so often confused:lol: From what everyones been saying this motor must really smoke the tires in a light vehicle. Im getting some money fairly soon here and am putting into consideration swapping an ej into my buggy. it currently has an ea81 with a 4 speed and i know one thing is for certain it would need at the very least a 5 speed dual range though it might be wiser to just go to a new generation transmission. On thing that differs though is with this swap i would be mainly using it for offroad so i would likely be running 31 inch tires so i think it wouldnt have a much of an issue burning up tires. i dont suppose id do a frankenmotor swap unless i could find one at the junkyard but i know that one of those in my 1,000 lbs buggy would be absolutely neck breaking speed. For now though id like to see about putting an ej in the buggy. I got bored with a regular EJ22 in my Brat, but then, I couldn't use much of the Frankenmotor power until I switched to an AWD transmission with LSDs on both ends. Buggies are RWD, right? In that case, I'm not sure how much of a difference it would really make. Both would haul:banana: Jacob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has an ea81 with a 4 speed so its fwd when not in 4wd. Yeah its true a frankenmotor would do nothing but spin the tires on this thing, it only weighs like 1,000 lbs. Im planning on going EJ once i get the funds and of course ill have to use a dual range 5 speed cause ive managed to destroy 4 speeds with just stock power, i can only imagine what doubling the power would do. I now need to do some measuring to determine whether an EJ will even fit in there without modifying the frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
