progress with the hatch


Recommended Posts

now thats a nice conversion, respect on that mate, i like it alot, with the (excuse my ignorance) but with the EJ mounts, do you only need to elongate the mount holes, is there anything else that need to be done?

 

keep up the good work mate! keep us posted! :slobber: :-p

thanks for all the compliments. i'll take some better (daytime) pictures once the wiring and such are in.

 

 

for backinbrat:

i had to open the slots outward about 3/8" on both sides and i removed my hill holder. unsure if there'll be room to pull the valve covers (at least not without scratching that purdy paint).

also, the engine mount pads on the x-member have a steeper angle than the bottoms of the ej mounts, the rubber of the mounts bends the difference though. i don't know if that's the common scenario but that's how mine went.

well, i'm taking the hill holder out and i just thought it'd be nice to fit the proportioning valve in there where the hh was. gettin it bolted in is no prob...i just need to figure out the routing of the lines to do that.

 

Why would you want to get rid of the hill holder? Such a great feature. If your's isn't working they are easy to fix

Hi This is Jerry for your drive line you need 48 inches of tubing thats not counting the ends just tubing. The 5 speed looks like it came factory in it. Good job i know you love your hatch when you get to drive it. Thanks Jerry

 

thanks for the measurement. the 5speed kit i got from you is why that 5 speed looks at home, fits great.

 

EJ22, D/R 5 Speed, rebuilt front suspension, kickin system, obw front seats...i know i'm gonna love this hatch too.:headbang:

no space. the hh cable would have to lay on or against the head and i don't like how close the valve itself looks like it'd be to the back of the head.

 

the valve may or may not be good but my hill holder has never worked, i had an older d/r 4speed with no hh cable mount on the clutch fork so there's never been a cable on it. i haven't had a working hh since my first subaru when i was 19 - 83 GL wagon.

 

anyone done an ej swap in an EA81 and kept the hill holder? got pics?
