Board Member: philoftheblanks

Body: 1987 GL-10 wagon (turbo)

Engine: 1992 JDM EJ22

Transmission: Dual range 3.9 from non-turbo

Rear Diff: Converted 3.7 to 3.9 LSD

Suspension: 2" lift from Subaru Bill

Wheels: 14" Peugeot

Tires: 25.5" Hankook iPike winter tires

Sound: Pioneer USB 4X50 Watt, with 200 Watt amp driving a 12" Pioneer sub (amp mounted in rear corner pocket)

 

Cooling system is fed through original EA radiator, using original fan flipped upside-down and switched to driver's side to avoid V-belts.

Engine and transaxle subframes dropped 1" to remove stress from suspension and CV axles, also helps remove positive camber.

Used stock EA82T fuel pump.

Added relay to starter solenoid circuit after problems developed with consistent starter actuation.

 

Next: fix falling headliner!

Good job on the swap! I like the picture on the sand too.  AKA "The Sand Wedge" :D

 

Thanks thats what it was primarily done for,  runs down the beach to go fishing or just to hang out and enjoy the view and swim :)

 

Toonga, that is a great looking wedge! I really like the way it looks with the lift. Good job!

 

We had to drop the engine 2 inches, so the hood would shut and we have only put in the strut lift. so the rest of the body / running gear sits up a bit higher.

just a quick question for anybody who has information on this, iwant to swap the EJ20 Engine and 5speed Manual Gearbox in my Subaru Outback/Liberty Wagon 1999 model, it has selective AWD. I want to replace it with an EJ20 Engine from a Subaru RX Impreza Wagon 1998 model, 5 speed Gearbox with only 2WD. I have added some photos of both harnesses which might help. The 99' OUTBACK/LIBERTY engine harness has  "1x14 pin(brown) + 1x19pin(white)" plugs, while the 98' RX IMPREZA engine has "1x6pin(white) + 1x8pin(grey) + 1x16pin(grey) plugs.  Is there an adaptor plug that I can purchase or do i need to get something made up or swap engine wiring harnesses (which i am trying to avoid doing)?. I also noticed that the ECU plugs(both located on passenger floor) are also different on these 2 models, any information/help with this conversion would be great, also how do i confirm what size the engine is 2.0l-2.2l- 2.5l?  They are both EJ20 engines and im pretty sure they are both Australian models (i bought them both in Australia) 


                                                                                          Thanks in advance          


                                                                                                                            BEAU83


 


I am putting a EJ20 engine and gearbox out of a  "1998 SUBARU RX IMPREZA wagon"   into a   "1999 SUBARU OUTBACK/LIBERTY wagon"....


I have tried changing the Intake Manifolds with Engine Wiring still attached but the Intake Manifolds are different in size.

Several of us have done it but no posts about it. Mine is a low budget beater hack job with a 2.2 obd 1 backed up by a 3at auto in an '83 Brat. I used parts that for the most part I already had. I only spent about $300 cash on the project. Before I get trashed on the 3at I have to have an auto and it has held up to 5000 rpm shifts for two years.
