March 23, 200620 yr hey, has anyone done an engine swap with the ea82' and a wrx motor? if so can you giv me a little info on amount of difficulty and possible mods and maybe some pics. :brow:
March 23, 200620 yr I'm sure someone will complain about my response, but seriously... Search through this subforum for EJ swap info. Its here by the buttload. Also look for stuff from Dr. RX Look for threads about the UltimateRX
March 24, 200620 yr How about an SVX engine into an EA82? Or just Baja the HELL out of an SVX! (Maybe after a WRX Tranny Swap!!!) Ahhh, I'll go back to sleep now...
March 24, 200620 yr been there done that, and im only 20 min from you... -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com
April 4, 200619 yr hey suberdave. have you done any 1/4 mile runs? how fast is your wagon compared to a wrx? that thing must be fun
April 5, 200619 yr I'm sure someone will complain about my response, but seriously... Search through this subforum for EJ swap info. Its here by the buttload. Also look for stuff from Dr. RX Look for threads about the UltimateRX Heck I'm not complaining, you gave me top billing, twice. Seriously, putting a WRX engine into an EA82 series car is no different the putting an EJ22 N/A into the same series car, both have been done by many people here on the board.
April 5, 200619 yr How about an SVX engine into an EA82? Or just Baja the HELL out of an SVX! (Maybe after a WRX Tranny Swap!!!) Ahhh, I'll go back to sleep now... The main problem with the 6 cylinders is their length, that tends to cause a major relocation of the radiator. The WRX tranny swap would be only a little harder then an EJ N/A series tranny since it is hydraulic (some N/A trannies are too), put putting a cable release clutch EJ tranny would be the easiest, since the EA series uses a cable release clutch.
April 6, 200619 yr i measured my svx motor and an ea82... and you would have crank pully sticking out the grill,,, maybe with a big lift. a tcase set up with everyhting moved back as far as possilbe. and and and and... oh never mind its a bad idea...... now ive seen some pix of an tt svx motor in a wrx..... not shure if it up and running but a check of nasioc would tell you but again what a waist of time...
April 11, 200619 yr the ej motors all are pretty much the same length from tranny to crank pulley, the only thing that really differs is the height of the heads, and the gasket......which is like maybe a 1/4'' difference between smallest-biggest. the only other obstacle is the whole SOHC, or DOHC issue, which really shouldnt be a problem. ~Josh~
