Featured Replies

i need to know all the ins and outs,

electrical, mounting points, tranny,

and where to BUY the actual good, low mileage ej18

to throw in my car.

PLEASE INFORM???

and i dont need to hear about how ej22 has more power.

i dont need THAT muchpower.

double my stock power is ENOUGH thank you.

 

can i use my original ea81 transmission? the d/r 4spd?

or i would gladly source a d/r 5spd. may as well

improve thetrans at the same time as the engine.

 

i m in the renton, wa area.

 

i ordered and paid for a nice full gasket set on EBAY

for my ea81. never showed up. bunch of BS.

There are many write-ups on the EJ swap too. Many that are VERY indepth. Ill see if I cant find a write-up for you...

My friend failed at going from EA82T-EJ22, basically wasted peoples time, but hope this write-up helps :)

 

Best of luck and keep us updated.
