ya it ends up the carbed feed is 5/16's, and the feed for the SPFI pump is 3/8'ths or so, i was able to get some more fittings today and get the pump in.

Just remember to use EFI rated hose on the feed and return lines.

Would hate to see what a 40psi fuel pump can do spraying fuel all over your engine through the 8mm pipe

well im going to run all stock lines, many others have without any problems. but the feed line in the engine bay should be fine.

 

i would like to remove the stock fuel lines and rerun new lines but i dont have time to do so.

I mean EFI rated rubber hoses. You might be ok with the smaller steel return line. But please don't use plain carby rated rubber hose! I've had a car light on fire (from battery problems) and it really isn't FUN!

It's not really that hard or time consuming. I went to the junk yard and pulled fuel lines for EFI Subarus and it didn't cost me anything, and it took me all of 5 to 10 minutes to replace all the rubber lines in the car. Any job worth doing is a job worth doing right. I know you might be eager to get your car going but cutting corners now will be much more costly and time consuming in the end. Trust me, take the time.

As long as you have a good friend who knows what they are doing.

 

dude i still tell you, i had no idea what the hell i was doing. you just got lucky. :grin:

anyone post pix of were the wiring starts and ends on the legacy ?

from engine to ECU (dash apart that is)

i have manual that tells me how to take dash apart (most of the fear gone)

knowing I've done some petty wiring gives me a little confidence. (door wiring)

It loops in and out of the legacy. Just start pulling everything out, and you'll have to get into the driver's side fender as well. I found it to be easier to just take it off. Sorry no pic of the carnage.

Last dash I pulled took me about an hour to get out and I had to be nice (just doing a heater core) There are surprisingly few bolts holding it in... just get it out of the way.

(trying to build confidence on the swap)

ok don't see were the wires are at.

 

P.S

Will i have any problems with the exhaust fitting ?

The wiring also goes through the fire wall near the heater core (I think it's just motor sensors).

Hey, just read through this thread and have a few questions.

sorry for bringing it back from the dead.

 

I have an 88 XT 5 spd and want to put a EJ20t into it.

Am i able to use the EA tranny? will it bolt up to the bell housing and crossmember?

search function is handy....

 

that being said no. you have to use an adaptor plate with the ea flywheel redrilled to bolt on the ej. also up pipe may or may not clear the crossmember but i cant recall at the moment.
