Forsale (E.O.I) EJ20 Conversion (free reg'd touring wagon attached :)

Pav · Post by **Pav** » Tue Aug 23, 2011 3:05 pm

Everything is in the car and running well (No overheating etc.), it is a brown 85 Touring wagon with a Auto AWD EJ20 conversion,
still registered and perfectly drivable , has powersteering, elec windows (all work), central locking, immobiliser.

- 97 Impreza EJ20 SOHC conversion (~170,000km when put in) running well
- New headgaskets
- New waterpump
- New timing belt kit
- Full gasket kit done
- New fuel filters
- New Bosch VLT fuel pump
- Aftermarket Water temp gauge installed

- New custom 2 core radiator (spent $600)
- New Large auto transmission cooler
- Twin Electric Thermo fans with brackets
- New front rotors/pads
- Replaced rear drums and shoes with good cond. ones
- Impreza headers and cat merged to L-series rear exhaust system
- Four 13" good condition light truck tyres (Bigger sidewall)
- Front driveshafts done at Allan's CV
- Impreza AWD Auto 4.11 box
- Lib 4.11 diff w/L-series driveshafts
- Tailgate struts work well
- Push button engine start
- Factory bash plate
- All the lights work except park lights

The bad points are that there is rust in the gaurds and other usual places, there are dents all over the body, the bumpers are crooked,
passenger mirror is missing, crap paint, trim missing, interior is ok but lots of mud inside. Some exhaust leaks near the mufflers.
Also has no speedo or tacho or engine light etc. due to the conversion, just has water temp gauge wired in seperately.

Reason for selling is I have too many cars and am now buying a 4wd ute (for obvious advantages over the subaru lol) but this car has served me well and after the rebuild has never let me down.

Here is my build thread for reference: showthread.php?t=16572

EDIT: $1200

Cheers,
Pav

Hey mate, how long ago did you do all the work on the engine?
I have a 2001 Forester and smashed the sump in yesterday big time and considering just dropping a new motor in it as I have many KMs on the current, smashed donk.

This car may be a fiscally wise purchase for me

About 6 months ago, and the car wasn't even driven everday, just for weekend trips etc.

If you want to check it out this weekend let me know, as I have a few people interested in it at the moment.

No worries mate. Going to have a look over my car in the next day or so, figure out exactly what will work best for me and then let you know if I'm keen.
Need to figure out if it will be a straight forward swap.

Cool, just PM me if you need anything else as I don't always check this thread, cheers

Hey mate, do you think this would be an easy swap into a 2001 EJ20SOHC forester, providing I swap over the intake manifolds to keep the MAP sensor? Do you know if the other sensors are different between the 1997 EJ20 and the type I'd have in my car?

Pav · Post by **Pav** » Thu Sep 08, 2011 8:48 pm

I am not sure aye, I'm sure oil sensor would match, not sure about crank and cam sensor and all the others, not really a whiz with that sort of thing (hence why I just bought a carby 4wd lol).

if it does end up being parted out, i would be interested in that radiator.

I think Dann has dibs on the radiator, but I doubt it will be parted out unless somebody does a group buy on it or something lol

Pretty sure you'll find your manifold won't bolt up to that engine. Have a look at the injectors on Pav's engine, and whether it has a cam sensor. If those parts are different to your car, I'd recommend you look for another engine. Currently fighting a battle along those lines with my car.

(Sorry to scare off a potential buyer Pav)

That's cool, I wouldn't want to sell it if it is the wrong type of motor for his purposes.

I'll take some photos of the manifold/injectors to help people decide if it is what they are after. And I'm 99% sure it has a cam sensor.
