Darkwing_Duck Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Hi everyone I am looking into doing the ej22 swap into my brat so I can get it back on the road can anyone give me some kind of idea how much purchasing everything is going to wind up costing me if I also swap the trans to a 5spd dual range also anyone have a list of everything I will need to buy to do this swap?

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 if your Brat is the Second Gen Brat Body, the EJ22 Engine will Fit; but if it is the First Gen Brat Body, the Engine's Bay is Narrower and I'm Not Sure if it could fit...

Darkwing_Duck Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 it is first gen body but I was told by a couple board members that the ej22 out of the impreza or legacy will fit into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I Believe that it could be Done, but some Bodywork would be Needed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkwing_Duck Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Would it be easier to just toss a 1.8 ea81 and a 4 or 5 speed dr into it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KootenayJK Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Yes, much easier. But not as fun in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkwing_Duck Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 okay new question then how much would the ea81 1.8 with 4 or 5 speed d/r trans to bolt up cost for the entire conversion and what all would I need for that? im not really interested in how much power I can make/how fast the car will go as it is going to be a daily driver but I am putting 6 inchs of lift into it and I am putting 31" tires on it so I was told I would have to do a minimum of the 1.8 ea81 and im going to be doing the whole swapparu end of jan begining of feb so if anyone is going to have the engine/trans whatnot for doing the swap in the mn area at that time let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael appel Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 ej will fit and it isnt hard you just need a adaptor plate and motor with wiring harness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 It doesnt fit inside the frame rails but people have notched them, welded in new material and put the 2.2L in then. They do the same on Ea81 body vehicles when putting 4 cam 2.5, 2.0, etc engines in as well. Thread here, broken images but good descriptions all the same. Might contact the poster to see if they have the images they can reload or email you. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=88632 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
