EJ donk+ EA box **flywheel question

steptoe · Post by **steptoe** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 11:12 pm

have got the idea that to fit an EJ engine with an EA82 box with the adaptor plate the flywheel to be used is the EA82 flywheel and mention is made of 'elongating' the fly to crank holes to fit to the EJ crank coz they not the same

isn't this just asking for something out of balance depending on how precise the holes are elongated and the bolts fit ??

yes i believe that this is true i also have been wonderin how well the ea flywheel will go on the ej but i think that most people just elongate the holes

if any of that made sence

The spigot/crank locates the fly wheel centrally. The bolts just hold it on there.

Heya 98choppa,

I'll sell you an adaptor plate, clutch, modded flywheel, all bolts and EJ in L series pitch rod for $400 if you want to come n get it from coffs harbour.

As shown here sitting on an 8 bolt motor.

Others here will confirm if it will work on your 4 bolt motor.

Ben, it will fit.

This is the plates I do. showthread.php?t=2603

Cost to mill your fly wheel is $75.

When I did my flywheel I just used a file, only took about 30-45 mins.

im pretty sure all of the Ej converted cars over here have the holes elongated on the flywheel..

we did this for 4muff's and my conversion with a file, now that was great fun. Subarino has the same on Hatchie..
