man on the moon Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I'm not doing a swap at the moment, but I do have a question. I was poking around in the junkyard tonight and noticed that the turbo EA air intake bears a strong resemblance to the 2.2 intake, at least on the earlier 2.2s. I think the size is different, but not so much it couldn't be modified to fit--by eyeballing it, anyway. Has anyone ever tried to mix and match parts to see if they can swap over with just a little drilling, and maybe some rtv silicone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zukiru Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) 22 gasket 82t Top, just left of center, 3bolt holes Edited January 22, 2012 by zukiru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
man on the moon Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 No no, not the manifold. I know the manifold is different. I mean the big box the air filter sits in. Sorry for not being clearer, I can see where I misled you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 That's exactly what baccaruda did. Search for his posts on the subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
man on the moon Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 I haven't run across it in all my reading about swaps, but I don't suppose I've read everything. Will try the search if it's been done. Hopefully I can come up with good search terms, sometimes I fail and sometimes I succeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Whoa! Does anyone else see a major problem here? GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zukiru Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I've not been too far into the gaskets. so point it out, please. I see it doesn't have the valve cover gasket for the distributor side. and Doh. I see now that you are asking about "intake" as in the air filter box. my bad.

man on the moon Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 GD: My oil pan gasket is square...but also not turbo, so I'm not sure if that's what you're looking at? I think I found the bit Numbchux was referring to: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showpost.php?p=521625&postcount=11 Took a bit but the advanced search functions help if you know a name or a date . Speaking of dates, how do you remember who did what from five years ago? I can hardly remember last week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obk25xt Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Whoa! Does anyone else see a major problem here? GD Ummmm 2 sets of I/M gaskets?? One set for single port and the other for multi!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
man on the moon Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 I also don't see an oil pump gasket, the mickey mouse one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obk25xt Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I also don't see an oil pump gasket, the mickey mouse one... Yep yep.... That could constitute a not good outcome...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 The entire lower gasket set is for an EJ. Oil pan, front/rear mains, block o-rings, water pump, and especially that (paper ) oil pump gasket.... Upper kit of an EA82 and lower kit for an EJ22. The really sad part is that Subaru doesn't use gaskets for anything but the water pump on the EJ's and those are ribbed metal. I don't use any of them except the o-rings. Entirely superfluous.

man on the moon Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 D'oh. That's why it looks funny. I've done a couple reseals on the NA EA82, so I figured those were all turbo things...damn. Remind me not to get any gasket kits from THAT company!

Numbchux Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Speaking of dates, how do you remember who did what from five years ago? I can hardly remember last week! Because Baccaruda was one of the few guys who had done and documented the EJ swap when I did the write-up. And I did so much reading and studying when I was doing that, it's pretty deeply ingrained. In fact, that picture and paragraph are in the write-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
man on the moon Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 I could see that I guess, to me it seems like a lot of details and time under the bridge but I wasn't the one researching and writing. Your write up is great, I must have forgotten this particular detail Apologies, and thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
