June 11, 200817 yr i have a 89 Surbaru DL, the engine took a crap. i was wondering if i could get the EA82T (turbo) and tranny from with that engine and put it in my car. It was just the EA82 sohc carb a/t. any help would be great thx.
June 11, 200817 yr On the tranny side.... you'll need the axles as the Turbo ones are more splines. You'll also need to change the rear diff to accommodate the Turbos final drive.... but, any EA82 will bolt up to any ea82 tranny... so you really don't get anything by swapping the tranny... unless you need one anyway. On the engine side you can put it in, it will bolt up, but you'll have to wire it. Not a simple task for sure, and it may not be something you want to take on...
June 12, 200817 yr Author thanks for the info i will just end up buying a ea82 carb. the same engine that is in the car now.
June 12, 200817 yr thanks for the info i will just end up buying a ea82 carb. the same engine that is in the car now. you're probably better off that way anyway. EA82T's are problematic now due to age and issues.

It must be a swap if it is an 89 with a carb. Which means it should be wired for an SPFI(not turbo but fuel injected, better thant the carbs) You may have an easy route to a better driving car.
June 14, 200817 yr bad idea, the turbo has a different computer and lots of different stuff, if you are going to go to all of that trouble, you might as well do a ej22 swap.
June 14, 200817 yr and a 89 will be a throttle body injectoin motor just swap intake manifolds witha jy motor if you can find one.
