I know I should probably just install an EJ motor, but I did not pay much for the Loyale. I also picked up an '87 XT with 1500 miles on a rebuilt motor for $50. The XT is complete and runs well, but is very rusted. Bad frame. So right now I am looking for a wiring harness to simplify the install. Anyone on here have any tips?
Yeah I know where the both PCMs are located. I suppose the biggest issue I have is the wiring harness. The turbo engine from the XT into the Loyale should not present much problems, but due to the XT's digital dash, I think the XT's wiring harness will present some issues. Has anyone on here done a NA EA82 to EA82T conversion? Did you just use a turbo wiring harness or a MPFI harness?
I think me, todd, and now you, are essentially the only ones here who have done anything with EA82s.....and I'm not a turbo guy. I do, however, know that the signals for the digital dash vs. the analog are different, and that it is a pretty involved conversion. including at least all sending units, and possibly wiring aswell. so I think you're on the right track. Join www.ultimatesubaru.net and ask this in the old gen forum. There are hundreds of people there that will be able to answer your question.
I guess I will just keep looking for a car with the correct wiring harness. Didn't think it would take so long.
