Hey all.
i need some insight.
im bout to get a ej22(from gen 1).. if i get the exhaust too.. can that be modded (cut, or other light mods)to fit the l series?? or whats the go when it comes to the zorst with a ej22 conversion?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

if your trying to do it cheap just have the EJ22 headers welded up to your current system. whats in there now?

There must be a few different systems out there.......i have just done this and was amazed that the header of the EJ22 from a 1990 liberty wagon was very similar, only about 50mm longer and slightly (20mm) off to the passengers side pushing it more under the tailshaft.

I have a 93/94 L wagon and the pipe sizes were same, not what i was expecting, I moved the rear section of exhaust back (also have different rear muffler) and was surprised the flexible joints even bolted together (just) the gasket was much chunkier on the EJ22. I still need to do something about the gearbox mounting points they are about 40mm appart.

Possibly later L wagons have some differences, as i also found my engine crossmember engine mounts were already slotted holes and didn't need modification.
