carfreak85 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I don't know if this has been covered before, but I just pulled the gauge cluster out of my '85 hatch and noticed a difference from the standard SPFI conversion outline. My ECS lamp is there and so is the speed sensor. However, there are two extra wires coming from the speed sensor. One wire is light blue and the other is white, both meeting in a blue, two pole connector. What does this mean, and how do I work around it? Also, my car does not have cruise control, but does have a Hitachi carb with an o2 sensor (I'm pretty sure). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does this mean, and how do I work around it? Those are the infamous 60,000 mile EGR switch leads. Ignore them. Use the other connector for the speed sensor per my write up.

lyter1983 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'm still tweaking things, and I still need to take some more pictures, but it's ready for people to pick it apart. Here ya go: http://home.comcast.net/~trilinear/EA81_SPFI.html Be prepared to do some reading.... As soon as I get another harness to convert, I'm going to enlarge the harness conversion section with a TON more pictures. The weather is keeping me from it right now, but that should change this next week I hope. GD This link doesn't work any more. Could you repost it?

Numbchux Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) This link doesn't work any more. Could you repost it? Bump. I'm considering this swap, and I knew the write-up was out there, and now the link is dead. I thought I saved it to my computer too, but I can't find it.

Daryl Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Hi I got a ea82 multipoint fi engine on my trike need help with wireing it up .ie make harness for moter to start. Any suggestion apprecated daryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweety Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 We didn't get SPFI at all in Australia but a few have imported a kit. I bought one off a fellow Subie owner nearby. Apart from some sensors like the TPS and MAF being old and faulty it was workable and it ran but not 100%. My bad as I wasn't knowledgeable enough to get it running just right. Being in a regional area makes it hard too as no one has the know how to work on them in terms of wiring. Also the CR isn't the same on a stock ea81...8.7:1 (if in good order) compared to 9.5:1. I had to file 2mm of alloy meat off the centre of the block halves to get the manifold to clamp down. Be careful, later on when the engine was reconditioned the builder told me I wasn't far off going too far with the filing. In USA/Canada it would be much worth your while. In Oz not so much. Any part you need has to be imported. Hence I went for simplicity with the 32/36 and kept the SPFI manifold on. Goes great now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagonist Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Daryl, From reading your post, it seems that you're trying to get a MPFI engine to work. This thread was about the SPFI that wasn't available in Aus, so you might be better off starting a new thread, or looking on some local forums. How much of the harness do you have currently? The MPFI cars have a different body loom, but only available for 2 years on the Leone, and longer for the XT/Vortex. FYI, the early Vortex (which black ECU) has a separate EFI loom (plus a few extra wires like wipers) which plugs into the rest of the harness (I'm not sure about the later models with gold ECU). My suggestion would be to try to find a wreck of one of those. The harness will need to be severely shortened as the ECU is mounted under the rear parcel shelf, but that's an easy job of cutting & resoldering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
