Hey all:

 

I got the 5sp d/r and the ej motor installed in the brat! Thanks to Jerry for the quick service and quality product on the 5sp kit. Also thanks to M rose for the adapter plate. Everything went together easily. Thanks to usmb for all the info and help. Now comes the wiring:eek: . I think I've got a handle on it but I'm sure I'll have many questions as I move forward.

 

Come to think of it what have you 5sp swappers done with the transmission wiring. My new 5sp has 3 plugs and the old tranny had two? Any info appreciated. Thanks .

Here's what I found and used for my swap.

My wagon needs one of those... good job.

Made more progress today. I got the battery moved over to the other side. Soldered up the alt wires. Removed the old fuel pump and figured out what tube was what coming out of the tank. My EA82 fuel pump bolted right up to the brat fuel pump bracket. Gotta love subs. Will go find fuel line tomorrow.

 

I put the battery back in and cranked the engine over. Kind of made me feel like the brat is semi-alive again. Good motivator.

 

So it seems like I have to run fuel lines, deal with the radiator/heater core plumbing, and plug in my harness. Then we'll see how badly I botched the wire harness. Worst case I'm going to the junk yard to buy a harness to send to someone who knows what they're lookin' at.

 

Oh yeah. Any one have a part number for a shorty belt to run the alternator on the EJ without power steering? I went to napa and they didn't seem to have anything short enough. Thanks.

OBD I 2.2 harnesses are about as basic as they come.

 

When I ran my 2.5 W/O P/S I went to advance auto. I took the old crappy belt off, cut it to the length I needed and drug it around everywhere.

Napa timing belt part #25-050275

That doesn't mean I couldn't screw it up, but we'll see. :-\

 

I think I'm close.

Hey all:

 

Went to NAPA today and got fuel line, shorty belt for alternator (thanks again for the part number) and found the perfect hose for the upper radiator. It has the ej inside diameter on one side and the ea diameter on the other side. It is napa heater hose number 7564. I have a 4/3 lift and i shaved about 1" off the ea side and it fits perfectly

 

If I find a good lower hose I'll post it too.

Hey all:

 

Another trip to NAPA and found radiator hose number 8987. This worked perfect for my lower radiator hose. I trimmed about 1.75" off the radiator side and it was perfect. Now I need some new clamps for my heater core hoses. The stock EA hoses seem like they will be fine for now. If I can get the coolant filled I think I can plug everything in and see if it works. I got my fuel pump hooked up yesterday. I hope I didn't screw up the harness.
