So I just finished dropping the ej engine into my GL-10 turbo, and one of teh problems I can see is the throttle cable doesn't fit. I feel I've read through Numbchux write-up enough, and haven't seen anyone else with this problem post it up. Is there another subaru with a longer thorttle cable? Pic for fun.

 

i dont know what engine came in your car, but i am using the stock EA82t throttle cable on my EJ20/257 engine...

 

its a little long, but i have been using it for over 50K miles and have not had any problems...

I have my stock EA82 SPFI cable on my EJ22T swap. Its not perfect but I have it routed so it looks and works good.

It was the EA82t that came in it. Would the cruise control have any affect on the length? I guess Ill go to the junkyard and find a longer cable. Thanks for the replys though, I'm very excited to drive the car.

I didn't have any problems with my 96 2.2 into my 88 EA82T wagon.

 

However, I ran into a similar problem with a 90 Legacy getting a 2001 EJ25 in there. I think he's haveing the same issue here.

 

The 2.2 Manifold, and all the phase I 2.5s I've seen, the bracket bosses are on the rear runner(#4) of the intake.

 

On the Phase II 2.5 the bosses are on the forward runner (#2) of the intake. We had to make a small extension out of a piece of flatbar and then welded the original bracket to that, painted it, looks like a factory piece.

 

Turboturd, It's clear that your intake has bosses for the bracket on the forward runner.

 

Cab, I am pretty sure that on your EJ22T the bosses are at the rear runner, correct?

 

Suberdave, What year intake manifold is on your EJ25/7? Are your bosses forward or rear?

I am useing the same EJ20G intake that he has posted in his picture...

 

and i am using the stock EA82t cable.

Yeah I'm not sure on mine. I'll have to look through my pics this afternoon or check it out when I get home since I've lost motivation to look at my car again.:-\
