Turboturd Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 So I just finished dropping the ej engine into my GL-10 turbo, and one of teh problems I can see is the throttle cable doesn't fit. I feel I've read through Numbchux write-up enough, and haven't seen anyone else with this problem post it up. Is there another subaru with a longer thorttle cable? Pic for fun.

suberdave Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 i dont know what engine came in your car, but i am using the stock EA82t throttle cable on my EJ20/257 engine... its a little long, but i have been using it for over 50K miles and have not had any problems...

Caboobaroo Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I have my stock EA82 SPFI cable on my EJ22T swap. Its not perfect but I have it routed so it looks and works good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turboturd Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 It was the EA82t that came in it. Would the cruise control have any affect on the length? I guess Ill go to the junkyard and find a longer cable. Thanks for the replys though, I'm very excited to drive the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I didn't have any problems with my 96 2.2 into my 88 EA82T wagon. However, I ran into a similar problem with a 90 Legacy getting a 2001 EJ25 in there. I think he's haveing the same issue here. The 2.2 Manifold, and all the phase I 2.5s I've seen, the bracket bosses are on the rear runner(#4) of the intake. On the Phase II 2.5 the bosses are on the forward runner (#2) of the intake. We had to make a small extension out of a piece of flatbar and then welded the original bracket to that, painted it, looks like a factory piece. Turboturd, It's clear that your intake has bosses for the bracket on the forward runner. Cab, I am pretty sure that on your EJ22T the bosses are at the rear runner, correct? Suberdave, What year intake manifold is on your EJ25/7? Are your bosses forward or rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboobaroo Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Yeah I'm not sure on mine. I'll have to look through my pics this afternoon or check it out when I get home since I've lost motivation to look at my car again.:-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
