FIXING DRIVABILITY ISSUES AND REV HANG: It drives like a proper manual now. I did three things, and I kinda did them all at once. So I don't know if it everything is having an effect or just one thing. I should have done more testing in between. I guess I'll update this little section in the future ...

FINISHED THE EXHUAST: And it sounds awesome. Made up this little section of pipe http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/zz13/ajd979/Subaru%20things/Engine%20Swap/P1108622_zps8vxfxjfp.jpg and a 3" RS Liberty exhaust fitted in no problem. I seem to be lucky in that a $100 second hand exhaust is one of the...

So, I've got some catching up to do with this thread! POWER STEERING: Bleeding the power steering was an absolute bastard in this car. Basically, because I changed the pump and reservoir over I introduced allot of air into the system and every time I ran the car it was getting whipped up into a stra...

Oh and patrick: I live in Wollongong now, not Canberra. Know what Summernats is about though, used to live in Watson on the side closest to EPIC. House would stink of rubber for weeks

No exhaust. Only an hours worth of work to get the central joiner piece made, but couldn't wait. Just had to drive it ...and test it for 4 hours. Here is the radiator. EJ22 spec with 2 puny fans, 1 12" (really 11.5") Davies Craig I scored for free and a $65 10" from supersh!t mounted on aluminium ch...

Haha! Yeah the shifters gone - or as we know it - the Swedish Nut Lathe I'm gonna keep using the battery that was in the 1st gen car. It was originally speced with a puny 40 Amp hour thing. I enlarged it to 60 amp hour around a year ago. That's the biggest battery that will sit in the battery cradle...

Another big day of wins. Got to Dapto pick-a-part this morning and got myself a gearbox crossmember with a bit more clearance http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/zz13/ajd979/Subaru%20things/Engine%20Swap/CrossmembeComp_zpsrdguzp3z.jpg Seems like pretty much anything gen 2 or newer have that extra cle...

The ABS module bracket provides a convenient spot to mount the power steering reservoir bracket. Excuse the disgusting welds. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/zz13/ajd979/Subaru%20things/Engine%20Swap/P1018594_zpsxlzb2tur.jpg And it all fitted up http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/zz13/ajd979/Suba...

Heres a quick pic of the side rail clearance while I have stuff removed



In the process of welding the power steering reservoir bracket onto the ABS module bracket

This would be his here yeah? Before he bought it off turbo yoda http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h219/AL_RS/conversions/TO4ZHeaders006.jpg [Thread: New Family Wagon, H6 EZ30 97 Liberty ] I've attempted the same thing, but I have a little less room in the front and limited fabrication capability at ...

So now that the engine is in and running, the hurdles are fabrication and packaging related. Flywheel and clutch went straight on, and the engine went straight in with a bit of manoeuvring. The steel injector rail cover on the left hand side needs to come off so that you can clear the cruise control...

Yeah Bantum. I'll put up a wiring diagram and some material that will make it easy for someone to follow in my footsteps. I'll probably put the board layout up. Needs some amendments before I publish anything though

Happy new year AusSubaru!

Haha didn't finish my project this year, but got the engine bolted in and running before the clock ticked over!

Best of luck everyone for your endeavours in 2017 - Both Subaru and non Subaru related

Only a quick post for now. First start with the engine in the car.

No CELs except for Air Temp, which is disconnected. ABS seems happy and showing no lights. Charge circuit is OK. Stoked

There is a seperate code for the purge solenoid. [edit: just read your edit] And I pulled one off a wreck, can't remeber if a new one was just dumb expensive, or I could't get one. If you don't care about the environment, you can just rig up a resistor to get rid of the code. Purge solenoids go all ...

So today I mounted the board in its enclosure and installed it in the car. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/zz13/ajd979/Subaru%20things/Engine%20Swap/PC238560_zpszqcx6xoe.jpg A few days ago I welded screws onto the EZ ECU and it mounts neatly behind the old ECU/inteface board where the TCU is moun...

Put the finishing touches in the interface board. The only thing missing is some epoxy to give the wire connections some vibration resistance and stress relief. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/zz13/ajd979/Subaru%20things/Engine%20Swap/Finished%20board%20Small_zpszdft5omz.jpg I added connectors be...

So I dived into the mechanical side of the project earlier in the week. The engine is a BEAST. The big cam chain cover makes the engine look absolutely massive. I'm worried if its even going to fit in! (Although it's certain it does). The alternator on the EZ is a bit larger, higher capacity and has...
