The Keith Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 What about an EJ22 turbo swap in a EA81? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruJawn Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 yes it's possible and you can put a V8 in there if you want. why a V8 ? any 4 or 6 cylinder is far better than any V8 4 cylinder pretty much out power every V6, and H6. i never seen an STI H6. every body loves 4 cylinders.

SubaruJawn Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 What about an EJ22 turbo swap in a EA81? an EJ20T has been done to an EA82. so yeah its possible to put in EJ22T many of us put EJ22s in the 85-94 EA82 series vehicles.

What about an EJ22T in a 83 GL 4WD Hatch with a EA81? :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 i never seen an STI H6 one word.....Perrin. it's been done, and it'll outrun 99% of the 4-cyl subarus on the face of the planet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s'ko Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 What about an EJ22T in a 83 GL 4WD Hatch with a EA81? :-\ It's doable, but probably not the best platform for the EJ22T. Power is one thing, but handling... that's what seperates the racing men from the ricer boys. EA82's have few handling options available. The EA81's even less. Would a EJ22T EA81 hatch slammed to the ground w/a 5 lug swap and WRX wheels look hot... heck yeah. but it might handle like a POS. Here's the thing. w/the EJ-EA adapter plate and some wrenching knowledge and willingness to cut sheet metal you can put any EJ into any EA body style. You will have accept that the answer is going to be "doable, but..." because each swap will have it's own set of problems. As long as you are willing to stick to it and make it work, you can do anything. I mean, the themixtoo was doing a complete EJ drivetrain swap into a BRAT, including rear sub-frame. He's still working on it. it's been two or so years. I think I will start a thread that hopefully will be stickyed w/a who's who of EJ swappage so people can PM them w/questions.
