Dr. RX Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 The odometer had 85,000 miles on it when I did the conversion, I just passed 120,000 miles this morning on the way into work, so that means that I have 35,000 miles on my conversion with very little (nothing unusual) problems. So, how many miles do others have on their conversions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry DeMoss Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 One member that I know has had alot of good miles on his conversion is Beefaru.He has an ej22 swapped into his ea82 wagon.He will have to say exactly how many miles he has put on since the conversion,but I know it is over 100k.Beefaru's wagon is really nice.

Matty B Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 65,000 kilometres since the EJ swap, 18,000 since the blower went on and the boost arrived. I wouldn't say I have had no problems, but it runs like a good thing. Every morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I put around 15,000 trouble-free miles on my EJ swap before I parted the car out for non-drivetrain-related reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I've put about 2,000 on it since I got it running in August. once I got the connections resoldered at the Crank Angle Sensor, I haven't had a problem since. little hard starting in the cold, I think I'll put the wire for the block heater back in, and change the oil for some 5W-30.

WoodsWagon Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 6,000 since early august when it went in. Problems: Burning lots of oil, my fault, I screwed up rebuilding the motor. That and it's a lot easier to abuse the snots out of the rest of the car. Something about having the front of the car lift in response to the gas pedal is satisfying. I have occasional CEL's tripping, but that has to do with my new 02 sensor drowning in oil. 1qt a week is bad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm throwing an CEL because I haven't hooked up the vehicle speed sensor....maybe one of these days I'll get around to that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodsWagon Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 The VSS is easy. I pulled the insrument cluster, then spliced labled wire to the tach, VSS, coolant temp, and oil pressure gauges. The vss and tach tie right into the PCM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vss and tach tie right into the PCM. oh, I know. you don't even need to pull the cluster. but I just didn't have time when I finally got the thing to run. and I haven't made the time since (still haven't been able to make the blasted defroster work) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeefaRu Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Jerry brought up mine so here it is. Lets see - the 2.2 had around 10k on it when it was installed in 1996. So thats 10 years, and I've been through 20 states with it. It has a total 186,400 miles on the conversion. The odometer was reset when the conversion was done. I'd shave about 5,000 off though because of wheel/rim differences and the spedometer runs 3mph high. --E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uberoo Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 how long should my EJ last?is at 202K...thats before even swaping it in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 depends on how well it's been and will be maintained... how long is a piece of string? Overall they're a good motor.. the EJ22 and the EA81 are the best Subaru motors ever according to many people. I lack enough experience with the EJ22 for that bandwagon..

Numbchux Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 how long should my EJ last?is at 202K...thats before even swaping it in... my donor car had 230k on it. I've put almost 20k on it since then....still runs like a top. 160psi compression at all 4 corners. PP6 and boost to come this summer.... they're bullet-proof. if they haven't been over-heated or run out of oil, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 The VSS is easy. I pulled the insrument cluster, then spliced labled wire to the tach, VSS, coolant temp, and oil pressure gauges. The vss and tach tie right into the PCM. Hold up! I thought I checked on the VSS issue when I did the swap in my 86, and it looked to me like the voltage range was different between that and the 92 EJ22 that I swapped in. Did I miss something?
