  1. oh man. you just bought more problems. ea82 turbop cars are piles of trouble. fix the ea81. learn how to test and fix things proper before wasting more money on trouble.
  2. most headsets I've gotten lately have come with them. Subaru sells a fancy orange rubber one (same as the block case halves o-Ring) but they also have a standrad buna rubber ones too. Most EJ engines came with a standard buna rubber o-ring there. I've used 1-9/16 I.D. standard buna O-rings from PICO on many and never had issues. 1.50 for a pack of 4.
  3. this is correct. III marks are all pistons half way,
  4. clears fine. no issues with any phase I engine I've ever done or seen in an ea81
  5. first step is to determine if you have spark signal getting to rev sensor. You may have messed something up replacing the disty. While cranking, does the tach needle jump a bit?
  6. this is incorrect. Phase ii, "through the valve covers" type started in 99 and went through 2001. Those are basically a small bore SOHC 2.5
  7. that pipe is part of the intake system. You must remove the intake to acess that port. Or dry it and JB weld over it may be the better option if you don't want to start disassembling the engine.
  8. Three wire plug coming out of TPS is idle switch. nothing to do with Auto trans.
  9. If it's spraying out of the metal intake then you need a new one. Or you need t pull it off and JB weld the heck out whatever is leaking. My guess is a rusted out part of the steel tube, or a casting plug (freeze plug)
  10. what ECU/harness are you trying to run? Setting up the Factory harness is pretty easy. Bet you just missed something simple.
  11. Just know that it won't hold up long. Personally had 2 of my swaps grenade the 4spd within the first year of driving. If you on;y putter around it might be fine, but then why do you need an EJ?
  12. yes but why? The 4spd wil not hold up long behind an EJ......maybe a year.
  13. There were 4wd turbo coupes and sedans made in 83 and 84. But not any non-turbo 4wd coupes. There was a Non-turbo (carbed), 4wd (3AT) sedan produced in 1984 only. I own one.
  14. there should be a steel sleeve insert inside the bushing to keep it from crushing down on the rubber or the LCA itself.
  15. Just an M12 x 1.25 bolt. Higher grade the better. Not rocket science here.
  16. +1 ac ripple will cause idle issues and pulsing in lights when it gets bad. although, Subaru voltage at idle should be not more than about 12.8~13v within a few minutes of startup. they should not "sit" at 14+ volts at idle.....they aren't GMs. GM does this because their wiring setups are long and overly complicated so to have 12v at an accesory they have to have 14+ at the battery to account for the line loss/volt drop.
  17. Nah. The EJ22 does just fine in an Outback. Swapped several now for customers. In other countries that same car came with a 2.0 engine. Arguably better than a 2.2 equipped standard Legacy since the OB is 4.44 ratio.
  18. This. It's about the relative width of the Inner control arm pivot, and the rack. Small difference might not be super noticeable on smooth roads.....But tires will wear funky over time. Did this mod once on an 86 EJ22 GL my buddy drove the car for about 2 years and always had handling issues, and weird tire wear. Swapped out the rack to an EA82 and it is now fine.
  19. Beggs tire in Philomath or Albany They will order them in for ya. Pretty sure schwab will too but I would try small local shops before them ever.
  20. it will bolt up fine. Only use 4 of the 8 bolts but fits the same as it was in the 93. You will need to swap the wiring from the 99 intake onto the 93 intake. Swap Cam and Crank sensors, And swap the 99 IAC and throttle body to the 93 intake also. after that it is bolt in plug and play.
  21. Have the flywheel resurfaced with a .810 step .830 is regular 4cyl 1.8 spec. .815 is XT6 spec .810 gives you even a bit more clamp than either. I have all my EA82 flywheels done to this spec now.
  22. You think it's great. But in reality, any time you turn or hit a bump your alignment is going wonky. EJ rack is wider than EA82. your tires are wearing faster than they need to and I can't imagine it cornering well with toe changing as you move through the turn.
