So heres the skinny...
I've had my subi loyale 4wd wagon for years now and its getting to the 300k range soon. Then my head gasket went out on my ea82 non turbo.
So! I picked up a whole ea82t out of a 88 gl Wagon. Compete with motor harness, ECM, wiring to the dash, and down pipe for the turbo.
I know my crossmember must be modified to fit the turbo.
Im sure I must switch out my ECM, but can I just unplug my ECM and plug in the ECM for the turbo motor and use my existing wiring harness and connect the motors harness to it?
The harness that came with the motor is to an electronic dash and mine is the analog style.
I read that my fuel pump isn't powerful enough as it doesnt have enough psi. That I should get an inline pump.
But does that mean I need to remove my original fuel pump all together? Or can I do this down the road?
Has anybody reading this done this mod? Or known of someone doing this mod that has some pointers that could help a greenhorn conversion guy like me?
Any info is greatly appreciated, btw, I've been reading this forum for a while now and this is my first official post and I'm proud to be a part of this now!
Thanks!
