    There is a "bolt in" option. It's a combination of the ea81 4spd crossmember and the center and rear sections of an ej transmission crossmember. The drawback is that it interferes with the stock ea81 sway bar.

    I don't know the exact volume of the ej259 heads, but I would guess you'd be looking at mid 9's:1 compression with the 251 shortblock. So it wouldn't really be a big drop in compression. If you can find one reasonably priced I'd go that route.

    It doesn't sound like ringland failure. I've never actually seen a non turbo engine crack ringlands. I would look into the pcv system, especially having experienced a similar issue with an ea82 car.
  4. 86BRATMAN
    The pcv valve is right on the intake manifold. I can't tell you exactly where as I don't have a lot of experience with the spfi ea82. I recall something from many many years ago about a tsb from Subaru for the routing of the pcv lines on certain years of the ea82. My dad had one 20 some odd years ago that would randomly spout oil back into the intake system and cause the car to stumble and die if you didn't keep going. We were told about the pcv valve/routing issue by an ex Subaru tech who had opened his own shop.

    Dean, could you elaborate on the Magna handbrake setup you're talking about. I'm assuming that's a car down under as I've never heard of one on this side of the world. Are you saying you've found cables to work with the stock handbrake lever and rear handbrake setup?
  6. 86BRATMAN
    95 or 96 and newer transmissions have the mount bosses for the clutch slave cylinder, one of those would be needed. You'd just have to match the final drive ratio, and swap speed sensors.
  7. 86BRATMAN
    All of the split case 6 speeds transmissions use shifter cables. That's one hurdle, along with not having a physical speed sensor which is the biggest. I believe, I'm not 100% sure though, that the split case 6mt and the 5mt are the same overall length so your existing driveshaft should work fine. They use the same style axles as the 05-07 imprezas, so you would need 05-07 impreza axles for your body type. Wagons and sedans of this era have different track widths, and the axles are different accordingly.

    That would mean more wiring here though, as the usdm 95-99 cars use a unique 96 pin single connector. Only market in the world that has it.
  9. 86BRATMAN
    Yes. I know all about enduring solutions. Their boards do not work on the usdm ecus from the 90s, ej22t included. To use the ESL daughterboard on a 22t you have to swap to an v1/v2 ej20g ecu.

    I'd be easier to run the engine on a 16-bit jdm ecu, since the era 204 you're talking about is already set up with 16-bit sensors. I'll see if I can find the crossover point, I feel like I have ran across that at some point in my searching.
  11. 86BRATMAN
    There is almost no info on that engine online. I've been trying to find information about it as well. I want to swap one in and run a jdm avcs ej205 ecu on one because the ecu it came with is not tunable.
  12. 86BRATMAN
    There is no such option for the 95-99 ecus. Donor car is a 96.

    http://superpro.suspension.parts/products/subaru_leone_1984 According to this, and ausubaru there are two different sizes for the front lower control arm bushings. http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25245

    You can find some manuals on ebay. I got ahold of the 83 and 84 ea81t specific manuals recently. Search for Subaru 1800 manual.
  15. 86BRATMAN
    Those ecus can't be flashed though, that's the problem.
  16. 86BRATMAN
    You'll need two of the sensors on the strut tower, the map and pressure switch valve. There should be a 3rd part on the back of the bracket, which is the dropping rate resistor. You can ditch this in manual mode, but not the other two. You can also delete the egr system. With these ecus there is no way around having a cel for the fuel tank related parts. Depending on whether you have an early or late built 96 it may not have the most of the tank related sensors. I used an early 96 harness for an ej20k swap in one of my legacys and it didn't have some of them.

    Pooparu is his board name. He's the one who makes the decals that are on ebay.
  18. 86BRATMAN
    You heard wrong. These cars never came with a locking rear diff.
  19. 86BRATMAN
    I may be mistaken, I haven't had too much hands on experience with ea71's, but yours should be top mount starter. You'll need to find a ea71 from a 2nd gen ("ea81" body) to get the bellhousing you need. The lift should take car of the tunnel clearance issue, then you'll just have to worry about fabbing the transmission mount and having a driveshaft made to the correct length for your chassis. Your rear diff should already be the correct 3.90 final drive for the non-turbo ea82 5mt transmission.
  20. 86BRATMAN
    There is a chance it is a fwd transmission. One person can carry it, though it is fairly awkward. I wouldn't recommend going it alone if you have any back problems.
  21. 86BRATMAN
    Russ has mentioned doing many things on his xt6. The engine mounts could probably be modified to work pretty easily. But the transmission mount will not be a simple matter. The ej trans mount won't bolt to the er trans.
  22. 86BRATMAN
    Another thing. I have also test fitted the transmission crossmember setup that you're trying to use. I haven't been able to mess with it enough to figure out how to do it and keep the factory sway bar position. Early ideas include cutting up an ea82 or legacy crossmember and lower control arms to harvest their sway bar mounting system and weld them onto the ea counterparts.

    Subaru themselves put the battery on the opposite side of the engine bay in the ea81t cars. That's the only picture I have of my engine bay at the moment. But you can see the air box is where the battery is typically mounted in the carb cars. The ea82 (L series) cars have the battery on the other side of the bay, what you could do is find one of them in a parts yard and drill the spot welds out of their battery tray and fit it to yours. One of their airboxes could probably be used as well with some modification. But it would have to be one with the later hot wire maf sensor I would think.

    It's a bit of an optical illusion. But they're not as sunk as I've had in the past. As I'm sure you know these are 16x7 +53mm offset. Front is reamed MY control arms ej knuckles and modded struts, rear is stock MY geometry with a 5mm spacer so the wheels clear the trailing arms, usual xt6 5 lug parts back there for now.

    The exact same reason this old girl isn't being driven for the next few months.
