since i have been getting my lights and guages reinstalled USING A BATTERY CHARGER to test, my buddy said that possibly my battery charger does not have enough power to make my flasher relay operate properly. so maybe i am premature thinking it is bad because it buzzes. i also have no dash lights, need to look into this further but i know i am missing a few bulb fixtures.

tested my buddy's theory that my battery charger was not supplying enough power for my hazards/directional flasher to function properly. so I used jumper cables from my other car to my 1975, and sure enough, my hazards and blinkers work fine.

my lack of dash lights is probably a case of bad and missing bulbs. maybe some grounds missing too?

ok... I definitely have a short in the circuit protected by fuse #7, blowing fuses (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

think i found my parts car, a lowly ej22 in need of love (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) going to pick it up at 8pm. at worst it will get me a trans and a bunch of spare parts. engine needs something, not sure what yet. i've decided i wanted a non interference engine, thus 1990 to 1996.

^^That motor has a factory forged crank ^^

You can swap out the pistons for EJ22t versions or run run an EJ22d head to lower compression and then run a turbo. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

i'm concerned. i knew the engine has some issue.. but in neutral, hand brake off, i can VERY BARELY push it by myself? is awd hard to push?

i'd like to get this engine and trans running and into my car but worse case scenario, i got a bunch of spare parts. and i get to get familiar with the subaru ej22 bits and all.

What year is the subaru? I used a 1996 ej22. I found out that that was the first year for OBD2 support. The 96 has a few issues that the latter years don't. For example...

The wire harness is different than a pre 96 and a post 96.
The Speed sensor is in the speedometer head . Not on the transmission.
Speedometer is cable driven.

Not really a big deal and we are happy with our conversion. My son has been driving every day to high school for about a year now and so far no problems.

We even put the radiator in the engine bay and the air scoop is still intact, runs about 190 all the time.

1990 subaru legacy awd.. must have been sitting for a while and battery is dead.. trying to charge it now.. basically i locked myself into an ej22.. had to do it because eg33 kept calling my name but i want an, as empty as possible, engine bay (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

thanks for that info about 1996, as i have been looking at one of those too. so basically i am mostly interested in 1990 to 1995 it seems.

we just pushed it into a parking space and the whole time i can hear a brake dragging.

put some gas in the car, hooked jumper cables to my other 914, and it started right up, but, it shook like crazy, when i applied gas it either stalled out or smoothed out some. got to check for codes.

Ross is using the setup you describe Jim (rnellums), or something similar. He is 5 lug I think.


Sorry I know this is a couple pages back, but wow go Subaru 914. I like how the mustang took a super long time to do a burnout then the 914 smokes him. Was this a flat six subaru motor?

I remember racing these fox body mustangs in my chevelle days, they were fast!

No the car in that clip is a 4 cylinder turbo car. Not mine. There's a GTO video with similar results.

Jim, what did the PO say was wrong with the car? Anything specific?

all he said was that he stopped running it cause he thought it was about to seize. he also said there was a problem with a cylinder. I do not think he knew, all I know is battery is dead and gas was empty but with a jump and some gas it idles very rough. we will check codes on mon/tues.

oil on stick and coolant in radiator looked ok from quick check.

ok, engine runs but weak. seems spark is ok but no compression on #3 cylinder. so now we will pull engine trans and all else. i am about to go and pick up another ej22 1990. we'll pull all heads and decide which parts to use.

what is a good lubricant to spray on engine bay harness plugs to loosen the up, they are all a bitch to get disconnected.
