84 GL wagon 4spd D/R 4wd

P1010002.jpg

Newly installed EJ18 from 95? Impreza. ECU, intake and harness from a 93 Legacy.

P1010006.jpg

redrilled rhe original EA81 flywheel for EJ. AA copy adapter plate.

 

SPFI air cleaner and air tube used with ABS plastic and extra legacy intake to make CIA/Snorkle.

P1010007.jpg

Off the shelf radiator hoses to make the adaption from EA rad to EJ and extra length for 6" lift. I got a good pic of the goodyear part#. These hoses would likely work for a 4 inch lift too.

EJ and EA Alt harnesses mated. Sodlered a pigtail on the EJ harness to plug EA body wires into.

My GF's "new" 91 Loyale

IMG_3737_zpsad9e6eed.jpg

 

EJ18 engine, harness, ECU.  All from 94 Impreza Donor car.

IMG_3735_zpsb654266a.jpg

 

EA single range 4wd stuffed into a EJ 5spd case.  EJ clutch and flywheel, no adapter.

 

I'm very happy with this install....very clean. 

 

A/C compressor not hooked up yet, but soon....need some adapter lines made to fit EJ pump to EA condensor.

 

I drilled a 2" hole with a hole saw though the blank where the JDM steering wheel column would be.  Ran all the wiring through that hole using Grommet from the Impreza.

Other mods to the car include 185/70/14 tires on redrilled Nissan rims.  86 GL-10 height adjusting seats.  Home made Trailer hitch.
