I have an 86 4wd wagon with carbed E82 engine, anyone know of any problems/difficulties in swapping with a 1.8L out of an 95 AWD Impreza.

 

Thanks for any input.

You'll need an EJ to EA adapter plate, and some other gadgets. It's not a straight bolt-up swap, but it's not very difficult either. Search around in the retrofitting forum, you'll find what you need.

You'll need the EJ-EA adaptor plate, flywheel has to be drilled to accept the EJ crank. Tons of wireing, fuel pump and lines upgraded, funky radiator hoses..... It's been done - do a search on "EJ conversion" and you'll pull some stuff up. It's no slam dunk that gets completed in an afternoon, but it's possible. Unless the car is REALLY nice or you just like projects..... not really worth the effort when you could just drive the imp.

Thanks for the info, it was an engine out of a totaled Impreza, sounds like more work than it's worth as ppposed to just finding another ea82.

well, it sounds like a failry easy-to-typical engine swap to me... its just nowhere near as simple as putting an EA-82 engine back in, thats all. youd also get some more oompy, but im sure you figured that part out already.
