SSGSal Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I'm a soldier stationed in Arizona and this is my first time on USMB. I am in the process of doing an EJ20G swap on a 1987 GL AWD and your help will be greatly appreciated. I had to modify the motor mounts but I will be having problems with the wiring. I think its going to be a headache. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks SSGSal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Welcome! What do you have as far as service manuals for the EJ20G? A factory manual is awesome, but even the schematics in the Chilton's manual are pretty good and cover most everything you'll need to hook up to make it run. Good luck with the swap and don't be afraid to ask questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far the engine is in the car but I am recovering from an injury I had in Afghanistan. I just have not had the time to start wiring. How hard was your EJ22 wiring on your GL?

Snowman Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I'm not "finished" with it yet, as I still have to remove all the extra stuff from the legacy harness (very limited time available for the swap), but it was really easy to hook up.

Jeffast123, As a member of the US Armed Forces, I thank you and appreciate your support. I understand that the military is not for everybody. I had a back injury and I’m still recovering. Hey… I’m thinking in purchasing a 92 SVX. What do you think? Again, thank you for your support. SSGSal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
