Naked Buell

I went to the section here on 80's Older Stuff, where I posted this, went up into the search button and just typed in ea81 power steering pump. It mentioned someone who made a kit to use the ea82 set up and it then mounts on the opposite side of the engine. I thought if it came to me needing that set up I would get it and see about what was needed to get it to work. I don't like the idea of changing it to the other side but haven't really looked into it. Plus my other idea was finding another pump, maybe not even Subaru, and custom fabricating something to make it work. Hope this helps

Hey thanks guys. It is either that or I found that you could find a Ea82 pump and convert over, but I should be able to find a seal like G.D. mentioned along with DaveT. Thx guys

The Ej swap is looking more and more like a must.

Hey guys just noticed I have a leak coming out the seal behind the pulley on the P.S. pump that is on my Ea-81. Anyone ever do this? Any info would be great. Thx

Welcome to the site. Great bunch of Subie lovers and a bunch of info. I am always on getting answers to my problems.

Hey guys, does anyone know where to go on line to order the electrical connector plugs? Some are round, some are square, different number of pins and so forth. What have you guys found? Thx

The neutral switch is the furthest back switch, while the reverse is towards the front, for any who don't know.

Maybe so. I was using a Fluke T5-1000 continuity ohm test. How should I test them?

Okay, so I decided to do a continuity test with the tranny swithches and I am not getting nothing, in reverse or in neutral from either switch. I even have a extra 5 speed ej tranny out of a car and tested that, still nothing. Am I doing something wrong here?? How are the switches working if I can't get continuity??

So hey guys, you helped me figure the two plugs off the tranny, reverse and neutral switch, and now maybe someone can help me identify which is which. Looking at the side of it, one is closer to the engine and one closer to the driveline. So does anyone know? I have found one pic in my manual that says one closest to engine is reverse? Is that right??? Thx guys

Mine drives me mad. It isn't like there is all these vacuum lines or something. It is pretty basically. My ea81 has maybe 7000 miles on her and she drives great other than she idles high and lacks the real power that all want in an Ea.

As much as you want to rebuild the ea81, speaking from experience, I am doing the ej swap just for what you are searching for. More power plus you get fuel injection and the parts are way easier to get. My 2 cents.

It sounds like the carb to me. I have the weber also and she idles high, even with the idle screw backed all the way out. I think that is has has to be the carb. My Brat ran like a swiss watch. Then I had problems found out the diaphram in the dist. went bad. Replace it and upgraded to the Weber and she has never ran like she did. Still runs awesome when your foot is set, but even with a fresh built ea81, she still doesn't run as smooth as she has before. Just my 2 cents. I would think it was the carb but you said you rebuilt the carb. I did the same with mine but I keep thinking it is a carb problem for me or I have a vacuum leak.

Man that is a killer front bumper on that Brumby. How about some more pics of your brat Knucklehead. That is a cool name.

Ok, park switch taken care of. B56-9 is AC switch not cut off relay. That is F47-22. Just leave both unhooked?

Cool. Thanks Gloyale. I will have those taken care this morning. Will ask more of course to be sure.

Okay guys connecting the ecu one wire at a time and have some questions. On Plug F47-22, it is main fan control. Where do I connect this one? On Plug B58-9, which is the park switch, do I just ground it? On Plug B56-9, A.C. switch. Air conditioning switch. My Brat doesn't have air. What to do? On Plug B56-16, tach. Can I just hit the stock ea wire that was on the coil? Thanks for the help.

I love the pics. I like to see what others have done for the Brat builds. I am do the wiring right now on my Brat. 2.2T with the Sti. 5 speed. I am just now tying in the dash gauges and still have to re-map my ecu. I upgraded my turbo to a td04 and top mount intercooler, so I found out I needed the yellow top injectors which would then require re-map. Its getting their. Nice job.

Cool. Thx

So I have an Sti. 5 speed in an older outback cable clutch housing. I have two electrical plugs coming off the tranny. One is reverse of course, but what is the other??? Center Diff lock?

I agree, if bad replace with new, fairly inexpensive and brakes are important like good tires. I thought turning would be ok on my truck but you are taking away mass that is used for the cooling process.

Cool. I will do some checking.

Ok guys, question for the ones running the ea81. I have an 85 Brat that I am putting in the Ej 2.2T. I have the ej engne in and am working on the wiring. I want to have the ea oil pressure gauge working. I know I have to put in the ea sender into the ej. My question is for the ones that can just look at their cars would be easy. I have the stock ea wiring still in the Brat. I want to know which plug and which wire is the oil pressure gauge from the engine bay that I can just splice into. Thx guys.

Hey thanks. Got it. I will check my interior wiring and see if I can find them. But now that you say oil pressure light I have an idea where to look. I will post what I find as well for others too. So this is what i found, thanks to Gloyale, Pin #9- Oil Pressure Light Pin #10- Temp Gauge Thermometer. So, next question, What do I do with them on the Brat? The Brat has the oil pressure gauge and what about the temp gauge thermometer? I took the stock Brat temp sensor and drilled and tapped it into the intake so I would have an accurate reading. Do I not need these???

So I have a 93 2.2T engine and at the Ej engine you have the three main plugs for the engine. On the 12 Pin Square plug, F26 Plug according to the schematic, pin 9 is a "green with white stripe", and pin 10 is a "white with a green stripe". I can't find them on my drawings. I'm wiring in the ej harness for my 85 Brat and am stuck. Any out there at have some better drawings, what do those wires go to?????
