Howdja make the leads reach #1 and #3 ? I have just measured mine up to be longer than std EA82T as in 1075mm total length for #1 and 1215mm for #3 and they need straight terminals for the dizzy end. Working on eagleproducts to come up with a new listing based on my measures as current listing for 4WD Turbo Vortex is wrong for AWD 4WD Vorts or EA82TS (S is for spider)

the leads were on a multipoint EFI EA82 at the wreckers, all I did was take them of the motor and put them on mine.

Damn.. I never thought about the 22Bs engine as an EJ22T but I guess it's kinda the same The EJ22T (2 off them) are the US market SOHC engines.. not the DOHC ones like the 22B has. I can sell the 22B engine to Tristan but I feel the price may be a little to high for him

TOONGA wrote:On a less spammy note:) I changed the HT leads for a set off an EA82 at the wreckers and while my engine is unwell, it is amazing the difference a newer (they are still bright blue) set of leads have made.

Now I just have to treat it kindly until Im ready to make some changes in the engine bay

I would think that the low compression in #1 & #3 would not be fixed with a set of leads... I feel only an EJ will fix this

Yeah.. sounds like someone (EP) has not really done their homework??

must have taken a short cut and not followed the originals secure path? May be a good candidate to try a tin of Restore in the oil and see if it fixes up compression

It idles way better and has more power but yes not a fix.

Im gearing up for the EJ swap

I picked these up yesterday while I was out looking for a fuel tank for Dann

5 rims and tyres (80% tread) 185/70/14





There is another set of 4 available at the wrecker (tyres are 50% tread) PM me if you are keen

TOONGA

Looking good Jules. The 14 fills the guards much better. How was the first day of taking the kids to school. Did people give you the look.

TOONGA

Whats so interesting? Anyway congrats on the vortex, it took you some time but yes ur one of the cool guys now:D hahahah lol.

Wish i had a awd turbo tho:(

The AWD setup is the reverse of the EJ's - that's why the pinion shaft is not interchangeable between the two, the L AWD pinion shaft is longer than the EJs...

Jules, personally not a fan of the desert rats on a vortex, I don't know why, I'm struggling to work it out, but I think it could be due to their simple "agricultural" design/ruggedness on the "refined" vortex...

Cheers

might just suit the intended use of this Vortex, some ag work, circle work in the paddock.....

Yeah it was either these or a custom set of those 17inch alloy rims that got that poor young brumby owner bagged off the board

Still deciding on the final outcome ... 2 inch liftkit? for those runs down the beach with people trying to work out what it is

Edit: anyone caring to donate to this build... please PM me as I'm doing this on a frayed shoestring budget

TOONGA

I've got a pair of 3inch from strut tops and some 2inch blocks and bolts. was going to make a set and sell them off. Can't donate but open to offers:)
Pm me your email and i'll send you pics.

PM sent Guy, I will make an offer once Ive seen pictures

TOONGA

I can offer free moral support and lots of free advice

OK, I'll make an offer of free encouragement and remote diagnostics

Gee thanks guys

It is official by the way, that the engine has either blown a head gasket or a cracked head, as the oil cap now has the dreaded clag glue coating.

TOONGA

or a welch plug like one of my 9 water leaks
