    Hey guys, a while ago i decided to go and buy a donor car (2004 impreza) i am going to be using quite a few components from it including the gearbox does anyone know the easiest and best option to mount the gearbox up?
  2. Lecardor
    Ill wait till something better comes up then, probably should buy more necessary parts first anyway

    I need a quick responce on these rims, would these be what i need i just want ti make sure before i go and buy them http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/winston-hills/wheels-tyres-rims/subaru-16-5x100-wheels/1125753464

    dont worry bennie, this issue has already been sussed out, when i bought the box the seller included everything i would need to modify the CV's to fit, and i have friends in auto-motives who know how to preform the modification. all is well however i dont know if the clutch on an ea82t is different from a standard ea82, would an ea82 clutch kit work or only an ea82t clutch kit? as for the mounts would just using the original mounts work? this is the preferred option so i dont have to go and buy new mounts

    i already have a ea82 gearbox from an mpfi L series and while i might need an adapter plate i wont have to worry about modifying the drive shaft. and apart from that i may as well use what i have. he doesnt have the struts anymore sadly, what year and model struts would work well? it seems there are mounts for auto and mounts for manual on the ej22, if my engine came from an auto but is being fitted with the ea82 manual 5spd gearbox what option would i go for , also do i need would i need the rear mount as well as the front 2? thanks again, Lewis

    if i get a donor vehicle what model / year range should i be aiming for that would accommodate everything i might need? would parts from a 2000 Gen 3 Liberty Sedan work?http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/marsden/wrecking/subaru-gen-3-liberty-ej20-manual-for-wrecking-outback/1122494039 (found a very good deal for the rear trailing arm assemblies with the calipers, rotors, etc and The front hub assemblies with the knuckles, calipers, rotors, etc) = quick response would be extremely helpful so i dont miss out if they are what i need. also does anyone know where i might get a hold of the ea to ej adapter plate schematics, if i can find out the exact sizing and positioning it would be very possible to get one made at a factory i know the owner of. -thanks

    i already have an engine / gearbox / custom front cv's so im just gonna have to keep gathering parts
  8. Lecardor
    so how much would the front ej struts cost (as cheap as possible), what model should the struts come from and how would i go about modding the LCA? -cheers
  9. Lecardor
    so you have $200 listed on the xt6 hubs, is that for each single hub or is that for all 4? also i will go for 7" width, what offset range should i be aiming for?
  10. Lecardor
    so how much lift would the 16" 45 profile wheels require?, and is there anything else other than the xt6 hubs required to make it work? and what should the width of the wheel be? also i took a bit of a gander at your forum page and you seem to think 5x114.3 would be better for the brumby, do you think this would be a better option for me? and what brakes would i have to get with the 16" 45 cheers!
  11. Lecardor
    if you are making a batch of these hubs, how much would you be willing to sell them for when available? and could you give me shout when they are? (very interested) also what brake options will the new hubs offer, and is there lifting of the vehicle required to fit the larger 15" 5x100 wheels? if so by what amount. (trying to achieve a more on-road sports ute look, like the image below of the style im aiming for, minus the massive front mounted inter cooler) http://www.weblogsinc.com/common/images/7829472159425683.jpg?0.2500580413835115

    the plan of the brumby was always to convert the wheels to 5x100 reasons being there they are very common / easy wheels to get, and not to mention they look fantastic . however i have looked and looked how i can do this and cant find a thing! some people say its not even possible, but i know this is false because i have seen many custom brumbies with a 5x100 stud pattern. one option said was to get subaru vortex (also called xt6) hubs, these are so rare i dont think its a possible option, does anyone know where i could get adaptors or such that will work.
  13. Lecardor
    this could be a dumb question, but i have looked up for ages and cant find a thing on it. i dislike the way the front of the car is lower than the back so that it tilts downward. is there a way to lower the rear or raise the front so that the car is level.

    http://www.sjrlift.com/index.php/catalog/engine-swap-parts/ea-to-ej-swap-kit-detail What about this? after this and a clutch kit would i be set to match the gearbox to the engine and rest of the car?
  15. Lecardor
    everything is going good, got the engine / gearbox / ecu and i know someone who is able to do a custom loom. but one huge issue ive encountered is the adaptor plate, does anyone know someone in australia that does them? also what should i do about the clutch - change it? leave it? Mod it? btw - the gearbox is a D/R 4x4 5spd off an ea82 MPFI, the CV's arent problem i have a friend who knows how to do that
  16. Lecardor
    well ive got the engine (ej22 1996 liberty rallye), and after some more research people have been saying apparently changing the transmission is a good idea but i dont know what transmission would be good for the ej22 brumby. im looking for manual / easy to find / relatively cheap and need to know what has to be done if i change the transmission. and whats the deal with the fuel pump? some people are saying you need a pump off an ea81t or ea82t. but these are extremely rare, is there any fuel pumps that would be easier to find, or would it be possible to use the ej pump somehow also i am picking up the engine in around 2 weeks time, is there anything else i might need from it? -thanks
  17. Lecardor
    ill be fine with the power of the ej22 i think, as for the wiring apparently you can get some auto electricians to do it for you, does anyone know anybody in brisbane who does it and how much they cost? and i have found an ej22 out of a 1996 rallyeye auto, now im pretty sure the engine being from an auto car doesnt matter to much but ill need an adaptor plate for the gearbox, any help?
  18. Lecardor
    ok so it turns out getting a carbi ej22 is harder than i though, and installing a carb is apparently just as hard as wiring the ecu up. is there any step by step guide that could help me get the wiring done, i really want to do this conversion but i need help on how to install an ecu based engine into my brumby remember i have an entire year to get this done so time is not a problem, I would really appreciate any links to guides and ect on how to do it

    i have a 1988 subaru brumby running an ea81 engine, well... running would not be the right word to use, so i need to get a new engine for it and i have always wanted to put an ej22 (carbi version) in it. i know the swap can be done and i am able to do the swap i just need to know the QLD P plate laws for it. (is it legal to drive on p's). NSW CITIZENS, SHUSH. allot of you complain about other peoples swaps in qld and other states not realizing your swap laws are very different to ours i also don't need to be told (its to hard, easier to keep ea81) because i have many friends that are mechanically certified that have done much more extreme conversion than an ea81 to ej22 thanks in advance
  20. Lecardor
    yeah for some reason here in Aus the ej22 series1-2 is quite common, i cant thank you enough for all this information . cruise control will be helpful when driving long distances as i am going to be using the brumby to transport my dirtbike to various places to ride. thanks again - Lewis

    Hi im a new owner of a 1988 ea81 subaru brumby that i have bought as a project car and there are a few things that i would like to ask about 1st- the plan was always to replace the engine with something better, i dont need ridiculous power however i am looking for at least 100kw N/A. so far the ej22(1or2series naturally aspirated) looks like the go because apparently you dont need to modify the chassis rails so i wont have legal issues, it slots easy and is carbureted, being carbureted without ecu is a good thing as i am a simple mechanic with a very tight budget and installing an installing ecu is apparently a very big hassle. im looking for something that wont be to difficult to swap. also i would like to know what issues there is going to be legally with changing it (im from queensland) 2nd- now this is actually my first build (how else do you learn) however i do have some ex mechanic friends helping me out with it. but i was wondering what is the go with the gearbox because i want to upgrade it to a 5spd instead of the standard 4spd but i dont know what to get/do (any help) 3rd- Wheels, now i have been looking around and have found out my 1988 brumby like all the other similar subie models has a really uncommon stud pattern and i cannot find anything on what to do to make it compatible with other patterns and i cannot find for the life of me find any 4x140 wheels that look half decent , i would like to get a nice looking set of 13-14 inch rims that wont empty a bank. 4th- cruise control, now apparently this is highly achievable with any vehicle, i just dont know how or what to get 5th- power steering, now i know this is a thing but i dont know what to do in the situation of an engine swap, does anything change or do you just use the old leone steering like i have seen some people do. please know i am new to this!! i will probably be wrong about allot of things but dont comment just to say "go home" i have a long time to work on this and have help from lots of people (even an old subaru mechanic), if you could help me out and give me some "helpful" advise i would really appreciate it, i may ask further questions. thanks in advance -Lewis
