Frist let me start by saying hello too all you guy`s and thank`s for any input you all can give a newbie...

I have read alot about about Subaru engine swap`s on your web site I think it`s great well what I am trying to do is put an 1993 ej22e with 99k for mile`s into my old Trike with a 1966 Vw drivetrain as my old VW MOTOR has about had it...

Ok today I went and got the 1993 ej22e motor to find there was no ecu with it but the yard has a 1992 Legacy with the ecu and all the wire`s will it work on the 93 next thing I need too know is what I an going to need off the car to make it all work and where on the car it is like the ecu inside and with wire`s and what I will have to get from under the hood...

I order the the engine adapter kit today so I hope it will be on the way soon...

I also need to know I can lose off the engine as I will not need ACand what have u as it is a trike after I get the motor cleaned up I can jacked up into place to see where the water line`s need to go as well as where Im going to put the ecu again any help you all can give me in this matter would be great...

I want to thank you all for your time and your help have a great day... Joewilldo....

I have a trike with a ej20 legacy quad cam in it
you live ? by the way

The leagacy ej20 is not the ecu you need it will not work

to save me typing have a llok here by doing a search > top left of page with post by me Ie put in seagull , conversions .

you can remove the air con & if you ask at the wreckers they may have the pressed metal braket the the GX ( liberty came out with with out air con ) this will save you about 4 kgs of weight out the rear .

dont for get you need ( all the parts ) to make the motor run or you will be in more shit than the first setlers .

In short if the motor does not have all the wiring with it , go to another yard .you will end up looking for bits all over the place .flow meter , ignighter, ecu , key to start it ( some have transponder keys ( mine did )
