April 27, 201411 yr Author So I found a 5speed to swap out my 4speed what do I need to get to make it work in my car?? Need help ASAP!!!!
April 27, 201411 yr You will need the shifter assembly, it is a plate that is connected to the trans with a rod, and then to the body with a stud/nut (of which the stud is already in your car). The driveline, mounts and crossmember. Jerry is the 5spd swap guru, look him up (bratsrus1) I am sure he will be able to tell you what I missed. (it has been a long time since I did my swap, and it was far from a standard install). One huge recommendation though, while you have the new trans out of the car still, pop off the transfer output assembly, and clean up and weld the output coupling, then you will not have to worry about it going at an inopportune time (I was lucky and was off-road when mine went, and just had my wheeling partner drag me home). Great update, do hope to run in to you around town or something.
May 29, 201411 yr Author I know this is a noob question but can you mount the heads on wrong on a ea82?? Need answers tonight??
May 29, 201411 yr The ea82 heads are interchangeable... just might have to delete the egr and plug the egr port. (if the right side ends up on the left side)
May 29, 201411 yr Cracks between the valves is OK Turbos will crack in the exhaust port. And yes they will be cracked. EJ it. not always haha im at 235,000 miles and no cracks!! exhaust ports are perfect. just depends on how they were maintained
May 30, 201411 yr I know this is a noob question but can you mount the heads on wrong on a ea82?? Need answers tonight?? you think you mounted them wrong? or making sure you dont? you can interchange heads, i havent seen it done, but you can tell by EGR hook up spots.. and you would have to turn cam cases around i believe...? not 100% on that but hope it gives you a good idea
May 30, 201411 yr Author you think you mounted them wrong? or making sure you dont? you can interchange heads, i havent seen it done, but you can tell by EGR hook up spots.. and you would have to turn cam cases around i believe...? not 100% on that but hope it gives you a good idea Yea I was reading on some other post and the say it doesn't matter, that threaded port is for the EGR crap, and I'm not ganna run it anyways so I'm fine on the heads, even though the are technically on the wrong side it doesn't make a difference.
September 5, 201411 yr Author Alright guys I've got the motor swap and trying to get it running and I need help!!!! I have the piston TDC, 1st cam timed and second cam timed. Dizzy pointed at number 1. Getting spark. Won't start??? I don't know what to do am I missing something?? Coil hooked up, new plugs, wires, carb, gas, timing belts, oil pump, rings, pistons. New everything it's a fresh rebuild.
September 5, 201411 yr Looks like your #1 and #3 plug wires are wrong. Disty firing order is 1-3-2-4 Starting with the #1 at disty being closest to the firewall.... then #3 is counter clockwise from #1. #1 cylinder is front passenger side. #3 cyl is rear passenger side.
September 7, 201411 yr Author Looks like your #1 and #3 plug wires are wrong. Disty firing order is 1-3-2-4 Starting with the #1 at disty being closest to the firewall.... then #3 is counter clockwise from #1. #1 cylinder is front passenger side. #3 cyl is rear passenger side. I got that figured out and I have everything set on TDC, dizzy is on #1 all the plug wires are set, still won't fire. I don't understand at all, starting to bag my head against the wall.
October 22, 201411 yr Author I have a dilemma, had the car running was running great, new dizzy, plugs, wires, coil, yesterday I got off work and I had to jump it and I found a burnt fuse wire and a wire looking like it got hot, now the car won't run at all like it is dead in the water, tried running power straight to the coil won't start. Why don't I have spark at all??? Sitting here beating my head against the wall.
October 22, 201411 yr It would help to know what wires fried/got hot. Is the coil fuse blown? What about a fuse link?

I found the fuse wire burnt, and the fuse in the box burnt, replaced all of it, coil is new now, and control mod in the dizzy, everything is getting power, and still no spark.
