For thos who have done the ej swap. Is that what you half to do in order to run the fan. Mount it on the other side of the radiator faceing the bumper. From the looks of it there isnt much room there where they normaly go.

 

Hey you can run two draw fans between the motor and rad! You hav eto do a bit of mods to them, but it will work. I did it

Chux does a great job.

Here is the hard one

wow, I just got caught up on all this soob porn

 

like a lot of other people said already, I really appreciate the pictures, I also like the shots of the suspension - I'm hoping to pick up an sjr kit soon

 

I'm dying to hear how this turned out

well if it takes 6 days for me to get the wiring, then a day if the weather holds out to do the wiring. then ill get some video's of it running for the first time, then once i finish the exhaust i can get some of it playing off road.

What exactly are you doing with the exhaust? Just cutting and welding to make it fit? I would be interested in seeing some pics of the exhaust when you get that all buttoned up. Still can't wait to see and hear it after it's done!!

well im running a single port engine, so i have the 98 single port Y-pipe, to the stock 98 cats for now until i can get a test pipe made (eleminates cats) and after that i have a stock flange bolted on with about 4inches of pipe off the end.

 

i plun on running a 2.25inch exhaust and a little muffler in the stock location. i hope to fab that up today at work, as well as finish the bash plate.

So does that mean that the stock EJ y-pipe will bolt up with no mods? Or do you have to do anything to it to get by the front crossmember? Sorry, these are probably stupid questions but I was just curious.

y-pipe fit fine, but the cats hit the X-member, but nothing a 15lbs BFH couldn't solve.

 

so today ill just do some finishing touches like readjusting where some things sit so its more visually pleasing, as well as more clearance.

 

then i have to do the RR wheel bearing on my dad's 99 outback.

ok cool, and that's one of the reasons you're gonna get rid of the cat. Thanks for the explanation! Awesome project!! Good luck with the wheel bearing!

oh im just swapping hubs, the one i got from my work has a newer bearing in it so ill just that.

 

i got the cats to clear, might get a little rattle here and there but we will see how it works. if they hit alot ill make the test pipe, if they don't they will stay on.

 

when im done with everything im gonna take it through emissions for ************s and giggles even though it doesn't need it from where i have it registered.

few small pictures of the finished front bumper, wired in lights, Zap's park job after getting lunch for the crew at work, and other randomness.

 

thats it until i get it running.

Zap really likes using the hoods of parts cars as articulation ramps, doesn't he?

Very cool build. Subscribed, gotta see this thing in action

well recived the wiring today back from chux, got it tossed back into the car, ALT wiring is done, main power is done.

 

just need to hook up the tach, temp, and fuel pump tomorrow, im gonna wire in a LED i think for the oil light until i get my EA82 sending unit put into the oil filter sandwich adapter and wired up.

 

if all goes well tomorrow it'll be a runnin.

sweet you gotta get video we need to hear that beast i envy you right now i was gonna work on my coupe today but it started to snow :(

oh i know, i was out installing my harness with 2 shirts on in the snow.

 

and once i get it running ill get some video's of it driving onto a car and then its depute off road trip.

sweet i cant wait im gonna be drive mine up to bellingham when its done to drop of some parts for scott and then im going on a road trip to a few different states.

Awesome! Last few steps! You must be psyched!! Can't wait to hear her run!

Subaruguru, come on out to Maine!!

maby i will but not in the winter hahaha coupe is rust free and i plan to keep it that way.

Good point! I don't blame you. But we'll definitely have to meet some day!! I do plan on coming out that way at some point to get me one of them rust free cars!

Sorry for hijack Scooby

im gonna wire in a LED i think for the oil light

 

there's an oil light on the EA82 dash on the left side right under the gauge cluster (the little bar where the check engine light and whatnot are). as the DLs didn't have a gauge. I used this on the '86 I did last summer.

cool thanks matt.

 

i figured out im going to run the fuel pump wire all the way to the pump, then ground it under the car.

 

but it looks like i don't have the relay for the fuel pump as well as the ignition relay (plugs are there, they just are missing) so i figure i need them.

 

i taped the ALT to the stock ALT wiring basically.

 

hooked up the fan, ran the intake harness through the fender, and the engine harness through where the strut tower grommet is.

 

forgot my camera today so hope to remember it tomorrow.

 

BIG UPS FOR TEX FOR THE HELP THANKS AGAIN MAN I REALLY APPRECIATE IT

Hahaha, thanks... but really, wait till it runs before thanking anybody

Excuse me for This Question, but in this Picture:

 

...

...

 

I See that the Skid Plate under the Engine, goes too much Down... Too Low, very Near to the Floor.

is that the Way it will Be, or is just a work in Progress? ... Because if it Remains like That, it will be Scary to Drive in Off Road Conditions and seems Like the Lift Kit is Working Just to Prevent the Oil Pan from Hitting the Floor.

But Beside that, it Looks Beautiful... I Like it!

Kind Regards!
