The ***ALL NEW*** AUSubaru.com.au Forums

Thanks Steptoe - I haven't notice any distigusing codes/numbers on the orginal cap. I'll have a better look tonight after work.

After forwarding the VIN/Chassis number - Subaru Parts emailed me back this morning and have advised the the distributor cap and rotor are available in Australia at a cost of $61.50

numbers on the dizzy itself Not too bad a price for available and genuine, as aftermarket, if you could get them without return trips would not be much cheaper at retail level

Well the search continues - after providing the VIN/Chassis number, paying for the order, subaru provided me with a distributor cap and rotor that will not fit my 89 MPI Wagon. So its back to Subaru tomorrow to try again. The Fuji Heavy Industry part numbers for the Distributor Cap (22162AA000) and the rotor (2215KA020) that will not fit my car.

$61.50 is about half of what I was quoted from the local subaru dealer when I had my old wagon. so $61.50 is cheap

OK - Subaru has got back to me after providing them with the part number on the Distributor Unit. The parts are not listed in Australia and have to be imported from Japan. Shipping is 2 weeks and the cost is $116.20. I've exchanged the previous parts recieved as a deposit to get the right cap and rotor for this car. Out of interest for everyone the Distributor Unit had the following numbers on it -

Distibutor unit number is 2210AA450 and a second set of numbers on the distributor is D4P-01A8905.

I'll post the part numbers when I recieve them to assist anyone else that is unluck enough to have one of these rare vehicles.

If anyone has any history on this type of vehicle (1989 MPI Touring Wagon - 5sp manual) and can explain why it seems to be different to most Leone wagons I'd be interested to know.

Huh ? Someone acting on my behalf?

It would be a good idea now to make a new thread , with a link enclosed to this one, Got EA82 mpfi NA title, explain and ask for others to report back their dizzy part numbers.

I can supply offa NA carby 1987 as comparison

Subaru had the parts imported from Japan in about a week and a half (picked them up and installed them 15/02/12) - Cost for distributor and rotor $116.10. Distributor cap part number 2216AA040, Rotor part number 22157AA001

Just got same vehicle and reading this....

thse dizzies use the ECU for their advance etc ..... not just a stand alone dizzy eh ?

I have the same engine in my Brumby and have had little luck in finding the correct cap also, purchased one from the UK only to find it was wrong. Unfortunately I don't have a VIN from the donor vehicle to go to Subaru with, so today I purchased a new distributor in the shape of a very bent 2006 Impreza wagon for its NA EJ204 and 5 speed dual range AWD trans. Let the games begin.

OH YER ! Let the pussy cat growl !

I have done a little more searching and have discovered this distributor cap no 22162AA040 also fits 6/86 to 2/89 Suzuki Swift 1.3i 16v and Nissan Terrano 2 Z241.
other manufacturers part no's Standard motor products JH180, Airtex/Wells 5D1242, QH XD297, Intermotor 45471, Suzuki 33321-641310, Lucas DDJ, Hitachi 44588-17001,Nissan 22162-17M03/4/5.
Good luck

That Nissan part number partially rings a bell don't it - thanks for posting up your find. I found the GH623 has a listing for heaps of Nissan applications yet not listed for Subie at all - subybrumby made the discovery.

Wonder what you come up with searching 22162AA020 ?

Anybody get any further with generic options for dizzy cap and rotor?

Auto pro/supercheap/repco don't have any listings.

Subaru Australia says they don't stock them (22162AA040 - Cap & 22157AA001 - Rotor) have to be shipped from Japan and want $130ish for the pair!?!?

I've found some options on ebay in the US but am a bit cautious after the timing belt kit I ordered came with no box and with 2 damaged right hand tensioner pulleys.

Any help would be awesome!

I have 2 listings for EA82 EFI dizzy caps and rotors. Either clip on or screw on cap, also if it's Nippon or Hitachi dizzy.

Have you got any pictures of your cap?

It's a Hitachi screw on cap and the rotor screws on to the dizzy shaft as well.

I'll post some pics when I have a chance.

Thanks RSR555

tidying up found a dizzy and cap dizzy no is 22100aa450 d4p86-01a8x03
height of cap from base of cap to tip of spark plug lead holder is about 64mm give or take a mm
it came off a ea82 i blew up.
any interest?
can't do pic my camera lead has gone missing.

Just been fiddling with an optical dizzy from EA82T part number ending in AA410.

The rotor button I ran on my SeriesOne L Series mpfi EA82T Bosch GH605 measures up same when fitted - just no brass internal bushing or retainer screw to sh!t you. Looks a lot less plastic in the 605, but looks like it will do the job

The brass contact for the caps terminals is same 36mm above a point on the dizy body for both rotors
