OK my name is jim I live in south east Idaho,I have always wanted to build a lifted loyal wagen with a 2.2 ej in it. well I found one that has been started but not finished, it was a turbo but that moter went bad so the po started the swap but never finished,it was a auto trany but now has a 5 speed, all the origenal wiring is still in the car,and I have I think all the ecu and hornis to finish this swap.I will put pithures up and ask lots of questions befor this is dun.right now I am a happy camper, I hope I did not bite off to mutch with this project.

the moter

just a few shots of the car.

Thanks for Share... Looks like a Fun Project.

Why the Previous Owner left it unfinished?

The EJ engine has already its ECU Wired?

Kind Regards.

Nice ride! Looks pretty clean! What size lift you putting in it?

I would like to lift it a little but first I wont to get it all back together and running.

Ok I have questions? this car has orig, rear end and alegasy motter and trans. are the gear ratios going to be the same?can some one diract me to more info on this ej swap.

This is pretty much the (bible) when it comes to the EJ swap

 

Everything youll even need to know. Read it. Then read it agin. Then after that. Read it a couple more times. Then agin just for fun! Haha.

 

Hope this help!

I belive this is in the paper work I found in the car, have not read it yet. but I did not see eany thing about trans and rear end.

Most legacy's IIRC correctly are 4.11 and that car shoulda come stock with a 3.9 so they probably wont fit.

 

How much do you know about this car? Just curious, sounds like it was a project started by someone else, which could prove ugly in the future.

The sticker on the rear end is 4.111 or some thing. ware can I find the numbers on the trans.?

You will have to go by Model number sticker on the transmission to determine the diffs ratio.

 

Marshall, only Automatic Legacys had 4.11 gears. All Manual Legacys have 3.9 gears. 1996-'99 Outback Autos have 4.44, Manual Outbacks have 4.11

Manual non-turbo 90-94 legacys had 4.11 transmissions. So did 93 impreza's.

I dont know a lot about this car, but it was a turbo auto with 4 wheel disc brakes. the po told me he put a 92 thru 94 legacy 5 speed in. So if I under stand right with the 4.1 rear dif and the lego 5 speed that should work.

Yep, both diffs should have the same ratio.

 

As for Legacy ratios, '95-'99 5spd Legacy L had 3.9 gears

Ok so to day I jacked up the car and looked things over, It kooks like I will have to build a rear trans crosmember and a drive line, then mount the rad, and fans, then it is on to the wireing. not looking forword to that.

Well this weekend I got a crosmember built for the trans and bolted in. the next thing I am going to do is the shifter. I whould be able to take a stock lego one and make it work.

Gotta see some pictures of this custom crossmember and shifter!

 

this it the cross member. I will try to get the shifter built this weekend.

Wow, no screwing around with a hack built one. That looks nice! Solid welds and 1/8" steel?

Ok so to day I got the shifter moded and in

the next thing will be the driveline,power stering and exaust, the more I think of it the list keeps getting longer.

 

Holy hell that looks strong!

 

Did you make it tie into the forward crossmember? I'm thinking if not, that mount is going to rock up and down with accel/deccel force.

 

I would definately tie it to the front crossmember too, like the factory EJ trans mounts.

ya I have I have spent some time crawling around under a legacy to day and I think you mite be right about tying it to the frunt mount some how. ben working on little things to day like power stering lines and exost. still not ready for electrical.

To day because nothing is open on sunday I started on wiring I hope this all works out.

this is how I feel after looking at wires,so I moved on to other stuff . I got the radiator and fans mounted,air cleaner.
