February 23, 200422 yr the 85-86 or the 87-89(was that the last year of the EA-82T) EA-82Ts? looking to swap it in to my hatch. so which would be easier
February 23, 200422 yr I believe it's no different. The work and time will be the same. As for engine reliability the 87 and newer will have better heads and the hotwire MAF which I believe is better. Keith
February 23, 200422 yr I agree with Keith. The bottom end doesn't matter but the heads and the way the MAF is set up will be different and the 87-89 EA82ts are a little easier to work with and are more reliable.......Also the have more power:D
February 24, 200422 yr the 85-86 have the mechanical disty and external knock control unit. the 87+ have the optical disty, and the knock control is in the ecu the 87+ would probably be simpler when it comes to wiring up a harness and ecu
February 24, 200422 yr it actually wold be less wiring than earlier if you are swapping the harness and ecu. aside from that, its pretty much bolt on the same either motor. i would go with the 87 and up, more commonm, subaru worked more bugs out by then, a little more hp
