carbed ej18 into my carbed l series
The factory ones should be unequal length on stuff pre 00.
They're the same layout as the L series. One straight & one curving around the back.

Very interesting please let me know if he has it stillyobhgareb wrote: On a side note, I met an guy in the local scrap yard last week who has few old fwd l series and early legacies in his posession from the 80's and 90's laid up.He says he thinks one of the legos is 1.6 carby. His place is only 20 mins from me, so im gonna give him a call to have a look around.
Not all are uneven length, I got a set off an impreza EJ18 for my EJ22 conversion in my vortex and they are equal length. I don't like them at all Eventually They will need to be relpaced with an uneven set.wagonist wrote:The factory ones should be unequal length on stuff pre 00.

I hope to see a video soon

I missed the uneven headers on the bay of dreams
Im going to see this guy with the old legos tomorrow, so hopefully i'll grab headers of some sort there.
Im having problems keeping the car running. When i turn the key in the ignition, the fuel pump engages and sends some fuel up the line, and when i start the engine it runs great for 10 seconds and stops due to what seems like not getting petrol. I have good spark, and the carb got a good clean yesterday, bowl cleaned and all lines blew out carefully. Im thinking that the ej18 carb engine may need a more capable fuel pump than the little one under the L series.

This sounds like the prime start circuit is working but the fuel run circuit is not.
In the later models, Subaru had to fit fuel relays that would shut off if the engine wasn't turning. This was to avoid fuel spills if the car was involved in an accident.
This relay was connected via the dizzy/coil, so I'd check that you have the fuel pump run circuit connected up. I'm not sure of the wiring colours off the top of my head but if you grab a copy of the WorkShop Manual for you model, then I'd check the wiring diagram.

It's pretty easy to tell if they're un even or not - just need to look at them and work out if they're the same on both sides or not...TOONGA wrote:Not all are uneven length, I got a set off an impreza EJ18 for my EJ22 conversion in my vortex and they are equal length.

From what I remember KPM Guyph tried out a set of replica borla un-equal length extractors but I'm pretty sure he lost some clearance with the bend in his bash plate having to come forward to clear the extractors that sat in front of the sump...
My thoughts too. Easy to tell though!wagonist wrote:The factory ones should be unequal length on stuff pre 00.

Agreed. It could be one reference wire between the fuel run circuit and the dizzy that needs connecting to sort out this issue.RSR 555 wrote:This sounds like the prime start circuit is working but the fuel run circuit is not.
