Any ideas about engine replcement ?

Featured Replies

Hello,,

I have a 1987 Subaru 1800 GL Automatic with the original EA82 carburated engine, and i am thinking about a replacement engine for more power.

What would be the best choice ?? I am thinking maybe EJ22 or even EJ25 ??

Does anyone know if it would fit to the transmission and so on ??

 

It is a great car but a bit sluggish for my taste since my other ride is a Yamaha FZS 1000 Fazer and that gives a real punch :) Not looking for that much in my Sub, but it deserves an upgrade.. :)

 

Any ideas ??

 

 

Have a look around the site here and use the search function! Try the retrofitting section and you'll find your answer. Welcome aboard!

Yep, just grab a WRX engine and tranny pull with harness and ECU and drop it in, not a difficult swap and the power is ideal.

The automatic trans is sluggish. The same engine will be more lively with a 5spd.
