dave833 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Today I picked up a "non-running" '91 EJ22T Automatic Legacy Turbo Sedan at an auction for cheap. It's only got 136XXX miles and is all original, never been modded. Very little rust and pretty clean inside. It looked like it had been sitting a long time and the auction place couldn't get it to start. I had it towed home and got the engine to fire a little with some starting fluid but it's not getting any fuel. I'm optimistic I can get it running with a new fuel pump as long as the tranny's not shot- I might just swap in a 5-speed anyway. So what's with the turbo coolant tank on top of the engine? I've had Loyale and GL EA82T's but they didn't have that. Does it just take regular antifreeze? Does it tie into the engine cooling system, or is it a separate loop? The coolant tank's empty- I wouldn't be surprised if it's cracked-- I understand that's a common problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastEJ22T Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 It is tied into the engine coolant system, the turbo on the ej22t is oil & water cooled. The system needs a fill point higher then all its components, and due to the turbo location a radiator cap won't work. So they designed that tank to do the job, and you are right they usually are cracked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
