My nephew in law lives in Yakima and he tells me all the time how many he sees for sale we are eventually going to move out that way in the next couple years just gotta get the funds up lol would be nice to get out of the rust belt

The 2.2l cars are hard to find here I've only seen 2 in the past year the 2.5 is easy to find but anything under 2k either has engine issues or it's sold in an hour I told my wife if her 02 forester goes then I'm taking it lol i know the carb setup will cost more in the long run but I can buy the parts slowly over the months I've read the guides and have a lot of posts bookmarked

I'm looking at getting this done before the Midwest gamlber 500 in Iowa so the cheapest and simplest way for me to get it setup and running is by doing a carb even a single carb ej you don't get to see that everyday

I actually seen that video a few days ago it's what made me start to search the forums and try the vw forums as well the 2.8l dual carb stroker would be awesome but as right now with buying the engine and other bits I also have to do the head gaskets on my wife's forester and seal up the oil separator plate I'm going to seal up the whole engine while its out I have to replace the water pump on my ea82 that engine has 100k more miles then the wagon does I still put around 900 miles a week on the thing it's either the pump leaking or I disturbed the o ring when I replaced the radiator the weather here has been funky it was 74 the other day now we have over a ft of snow so it makes it a challenge to try and check

How far will the carb and filter stick above the fenders a while back loyale 2.7 turbo posted a picture of a dual carb ej22 and the adapter to mount the carb to the engine the model of adapter was kc227 and the top of the air filters appeared to sit level with the alternator I know the vw crowd has done this using modified stock intakes and running a metal rod to connect the carbs throttles around where I live it's pretty hard to find a 2.2l Subaru let alone find any in the yards that still have the engines in them between the 4 pull it yards around me there are only 8 subarus also too many people trying to flip cars for a living so going with a carb'd ej will be cheaper for me as I can buy parts as I go subarus here rarely drop below 2k if the carb sticks out of the hood my wagon would look interesting with a scoop lol I've never done a fuel injection swap but I've worked with carbs a few times with our Willys that has a gm 235 with a carter I've read the write up and that's a lot more work to me then it is to throw a carb on a ej to put in my loyale it would also be simpler to undo the swap if I needed to I found a ej22 at AR1 auto wrecking in Yakima with 189k miles for 250 I need to see if they will ship it the say it has 165 for compression just need to call them in the afternoon

Going to catch some flack for this but I know it's been done before I don't feel like doing all the wiring plus I can slowly gather parts for this I seen in a previous thread that loyale 2.7 turbo posted pictures of a ej22 with dual carbs the adapters used to mount them above each head shown on the package was kc227 by Lynx and the common distributor is an early ford escort I've also seen some of the vw people use megajolt I just think this would be funner then messing with wires and around where I live this would be cheaper to do then trying to get a donor with a 2.2

Will the old cyclops eyes fit on the loyales there's been one for sale in the black hills for the past 2 years along with a 83 ea81 turbo wagon I've been tempted to get the wagon but don't like the idea of how long it has sat it's been parked for almost 14years anyway the cyclops eye he has from another vehicle he had 2 brats but he sold them before I was able to make a trip up there

The ones I found are 10 bucks each Skf deep groove 62072RS C3 35x72x17mm it's what others recommend getting from bearing suppliers we don't have one local but I'm used to ordering everything online anyway I just need to look for the part numbers for the cone washers and other parts and see if the dealership can find them that way they are able to see the parts but can't order them due to they have no idea the part numbers for any of the parts I need

Wow times on this are all wrong I went to sleep at 2am lol

I do apologize if I had an attitude I was at work when I posted back last night and just stupid people they cut our hours Monday your help is appreciated

Understandable I'm going to be doing both sides it's just a bummer that Subaru here don't have any part numbers and are pretty unwilling to help with these older cars the response from the parts guy was to get a newer model instead of fixing something outdated lol

Even if all it is is a worn cone washer I'll still replace the bearings and you have even commented on other people's posts about failed wheel bearings on ea cars just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it don't happen as I'm sure you have read the posts about them they may usually last the life of the car as most say but other things can cause a bearing to fail and like I've said this car hasn't been taken care of and I don't mind working on it so my labor is just that lol the wheel only makes noise after it gets wet so I bet water has been getting inside it a few other people have had this problem herein South Dakota we use a lot of salt and corrosive liquid chemicals to melt the snow and ice they put it down as a preventive measure they put it down if there's a chance of snow it's a waste and it's nasty for vehicles here I just did tie rods on a 06 Pacifica body looks great under body is riddled with rust the Subaru dealership here don't carry or order any parts for ea model subarus as there is hardly any on the road there is one restored justy and 3 Gls and my loyale they don't last here

I spent 3 days getting this thing to the way it is now lol I drove it 95 miles on 3 cylinders because the check engine light doesn't come on its either burnt out of the guy accidentally pulled the wire out when attempting to install the aftermarket cruise control I didn't care about the engine when I bought it just the body I still need to try and find shifter bushings as they are shot also the return spring is missing so there's a lot of slop but I still drive this car 135 miles a day I've put 6k miles on it in 2 months lol

this car wasn't taken care of by the last person who owned it when it first started knocking the guy put 2quarts of Lucus in it and tried tightening the head bolts because it was leaking oil and coolant also stripped out the oil pan bolts also tried installing a cruise control unit but he gave up

Also the previous owner welded the ball joint back together instead of replacing it and the bearings sound dry you spin the wheel while its jacked up and you can hear it do it to any of the other wheels and nothing
