4WDFrenzy Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Hey everyone. I found a site today that sells EA82Ts at a good price IMHO. I know that many of you(along with myself) have been experimenting with the EA82T to see what it's limits are. In saying that, if you are part of the multitude who has blown up your motor and are in need of a new(well, not really NEW, more like new to you:D ) engine, here is a website that sells them: http://www.ni-mo.com/subaru.htm Best of all, if you have been thinking about doing an EJ swap, they sell them too!!!! I just figured that I would let everyone know about this! Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Thanks Patrick. I haven't seen that site in a while. I may need to contact them soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosh Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 ohh if Only that had a ECU and harness! I would have an EJ20T or TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeshoup Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 There's a few places on eBay that sell EA82Ts for about the same price. I wish right now I had $600 to put towards a good running motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Funny thing is the JDM EJ20 is rated at more HP than the USDM EJ22 - without any turbo's at all. I think it's 150, vs. the USDM EJ22's 135. Damn good price for those. The N/A EJ20 would be my choice - half the price too. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4WDFrenzy Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 Caleb, you're very welcome. I stumbled across this site while I was looking for another EA82T, in the case that the one in my GL-10 now is on it's way out. But lately, I've been thinking more and more about doing an EJ20T swap. I guess I could just wait to see if I will be able to import my 95 WRX wagon or not. Because if not, The good ol' Draggin' Wagon will be getting an EJ20T with full wiring harness, fuse box, ecu, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suberdave Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 when your ready to do this, shoot me a PM. i have done 2 EA82t to EJ20G conversions now. one wagon and one coupe. that engine was built to go in an EA8 body car. fits like a glove. -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com/subaru Caleb, you're very welcome.

It is so tempting to make a mess out of yard that doesn't belong to me. That swap with some extra mods I thought of to stay 2wd in a Loyale would be incredible. I find many, including ebay, but Here is another link for engines: http://actionsalvage.com/engine/UsedEngineSubaru.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daeron Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 LOL, the ER27 (xt6 engine, $2700) is the most expensive engine up there, other than TT 3000GT engines, and turbo supra engines... and those supra motors blow like lightbulbs, and i know my mom's NA mitsu blew a motor in under 100K.... we got a better price than this site for a mitsu motor. that car is AWESOME btw.. she has a 96 3000GT SL (FWD, but the DOHC motor. just shy of the vr-4. not bad for a sixty year old lady, huh?) and even though its heavy, its fast. torque steer is ridiculous though.

Proteus503 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 and those supra motors blow like lightbulbs how do you figure? I've personally witnessed 2jz turbo dyno passes with a stock bottom end pushing 900+ rwhp. now if you're refering to the 7mgte engine out've the older mk3 supras... then yes, they were notorious for head gasket failure. simple solution, arp head studs and a stainless steel head gasket. sorry for the rant, but I'm a die-hard toyota fan, so I just couldnt let this comment slide.
