Numbchux Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I wonder how much it would be to ship the EJ D/R casing (just the front, not the rear diff housing) to the US.. I was just thinking that....maybe even just the right side. judging from the pics you took, it looks like the left side of the case is the same. the biggest thing that would solve, is the clutch/flywheel issue. since D/R and an EJ motor is already do-able.... gearing, for a few models anyway: N/A EA82 D/R 5MT 1st: 3.545 2nd: 1.947 3rd: 1.366 4th: 0.972 5th: 0.780 Axle Ratio: 3.90 Lo Range reduction: 1.592 EA82 turbo FT4WD 5MT (RX or GL/-10) 1st: 3.545 2nd: 2.111 3rd: 1.448 4th: 1.088 5th: 0.871 Axle Ratio: 3.70 Lo Range reduction: 1.196 also, legacy gearing from my '92 FSM FWD 5MT 1: 3.545 2: 1.947 3: 1.366 4: 0.972 5: 0.738 Axles: 3.70 AWD 5MT 1: 3.545 2: 1.947 3: 1.366 4: 0.972 5: 0.783 Axles: 4.111 just found this list...it has some EA81 numbers too http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/80s/mick/gear-ratios.htm and some EJ ratios: http://www.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=181343 I intend to use: EA82 N/A or AWD Legacy 1-4 (same ratios, I'm leaning towards the Legacy ones...assuming they're stronger) FWD Legacy 5th EA82 N/A lo range RX center diff and final drive (the guy who's giving me the RX trannies seems to think a Mazda 323 GTX viscous locking center coupler could be used....he's got one...so I plan on finding out...). This would give me: 1: 3.545 2: 1.947 3: 1.366 4: 0.972 5: 0.738 Final Drive: 3.70 Lo range: 1.592 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 RX center diff and final drive (the guy who's giving me the RX trannies seems to think a Mazda 323 GTX viscous locking center coupler could be used....he's got one...so I plan on finding out...).That would be awesome... So if you used the EA82 N/A input gears with the Legacy output and pinion it would work if you guys were to just import the EJ D/R casing, with changing the 5th gear over.

I don't have any money right now....but this summer I'll be in the market.... oh crap. I was thinking we'd just need the right half of the case....but upon closer inspection of your pictures....found this: you're EJ D/R case: my EJ S/R case: looks like we'd definately need both halves of the case...

Phizinza Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Yeah you would need both. FYI that is the EA82 N/A casing when I was pulling it apart, I don't have pictures of the EJ D/R casing, but the only difference is it has a tiny detent hole on the left side of the casing up near the low range (as the EJ D/R is controled by a cable not a rod through the back half where the PT get's it's detent from.) I'm trying to find good pictures of my EJ casing, but no luck as yet, probably still on my bro's phone.. I am pretty sure every manual Liberty GX came with the D/R between 89 and 94. Not sure what later ones had. But I think the later ones had a different bolt pattern on the back where the center diff casing bolts on. You can probably pick up a damaged or old gearbox with good casing for $200 - $300 AUD exchange rate is around 0.77 or something, so $150 to $230 USD. I reckon boat mail would be $80 to $100 AUD (I really have no idea, so it could be less or more.) I would probably be happy to buy another Liberty GX wreck and strip it down for parts if someone in the US really wanted the casing.. It's always handy to have another EJ22 and wiring loom hanging around. EDIT: this is the detent thing I am talking about on the left hand side casing. It's just below where the low range shift lever goes into the casing. http://offroadingsubarus.com/images/lseries_liberty_gearboxhybrid_lowrangeshiftforks_detent3.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 good to know. well, in a few months, I'll be in the market. I'll be in touch...maybe we can work something out :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be in touch...maybe we can work something out :cool: I'll start looking at Liberty's and talk to my bro and his mate to find out if either want to do a EJ conversion.. If mine works out good I am sure someone I know will want an EJ sooner rather then later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yegoshin Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Ok since we are ALL on this here topic. could someone please tell me what is the pinout on the 2 connectors (a white one with 6 wires and a black one with 2 wires) from the EA82 transmission? Pretty please with sugar on top? Oh and I have seen http://rides.webshots.com/photo/1164047204042305049ntcJbF I need to know which wire is which because silly me put the tranny in and cant see the sensors.

Some have neutral switches, and some don't. And there's other differences as well. Push button vs. D/R, etc... GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yegoshin Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 well its a D/R non turbo (the regular axles from my brat fit and as far as I know its not modified). I tried ohm metering it while shifting but still can't seem to get anywhere. I really would like to wire it in with the rest of my harness instead of later on top of it.

GeneralDisorder Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Still - depends on year. SPFI had neutral switches on the tranny - carb did not. The shape/type of the connectors also changed over the years.... GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Can you follow the wires back to each sensor/switch on the box? The switch on the left side is reverse, the others are like 4WD, nuetral, low range or something like that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
