Hi guys, sorry for long absence. Fall cleaning (a little late). http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=110328089870 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=110328106844 Also I have a full...

Hey- I'm having _exactly_ the same problem - sputters on more than about 1/3 throttle, makes a "poof" sound as though backfiring when sputtering, down on power, fine when cold, very lumpy idle, and everything else you describe. Not throwing a CEL at all, though. Swapped out the MAF for a t...

Awesome! Now I get it. Thanks. Remaining questions: Does the Phase 1 2.5L crank swap require 2.5L rods? (It must, no?) Does it require different pistons, or can the EJ22t pistons be used? With the EJ22t sohc heads and pistons nd headgasket, and the 2.5L crank and rods, anyone know the compression ra...

OK - that thread deals with the heads. Thanks. Now how about the crank, rod, piston, and "phase" questions?

Thanks for pointing me to the thread though - deals with the heads well. Although even there "Matt" is saying you need Phase 2 head - obviously not, then...

Tried not to post this but I'm still getting conflicting information after trolling all this thread, any related thread I can find, and the "library" section on the main page. So I'll try to ask the questions that have been posted before but answered with other questions: 1. Is Phase 1 2.5...

Note that everything up to a 10.9” requires 15” wheels and the 11.4: requires 16” wheels.

I don't think this is quite true. There are 15" wheels that fit the WRX rotors - production class WRXs run rally 15" tires. Anyone know which wheels will fit? Compo TH2? Minilite? etc?

Ha! I probably use it indiscriminately. That said, having converted my Evo from RHD and ordering countless front and rear bumper covers from Japan as they get ripped off the rally car, I feel I have some qualification! But doesn't clear marker/signal light combos and additional signals in the fender...

Soooo, you might recall that I bought this SS and it turns out to have an open deck EJ22 block but I've measured the valves and the heads appear to be turbo. I have the option of putting the engine back together with the turbo heads or the NA heads that I also have. I suspect I'll have a larger turb...

Thanks! I know about the facelift in 1992 - I just didn't know that the signals moved into the markers. Peel off that yellow sticker and jam some fogs in the bumper and you're JDM, no? Thanks for the info on the diff. Didn't know how lucky I was with the 1991. Still would like to know about the sway...

Just made a wacky deal: bought a 1993 black/black SS and a 1995 Justy 5MT AWD for absurdly little, Canadian. Both cars were few owner, dealer maintained, and then ditched by the dealer, probably because there was something big enough wrong that the dealer advised these people to get out of the cars ...

Hi- Finally pulled and tore down my engine. To my surprise my 91 SS, with pretty much everything intact - including turbo, manifold, etc. has an open deck block. I didn't look for identifying marks before I left the shop in frustration, but what marks should I expect on it? Any explanation besides s...

Aha! So they are. The fronts were so corroded on the backside that on a casual glance I hadn't seen the writing. 22mm on the front and 16mm on the rear IIRC from 30min ago.

PS how much do you pay your local machinist for turning these?

I have a set of turbo rotors I'd like to have turned. Anyone know minimal thickness and runout specs for turning them?

Sorry to keep pushing, but a Subaru tech I know and respect responded:


"There are two threaded bosses on the case, move the
pivot to the correct one and put the cable fork there
instead of the hyd. one."

?

Drat. Then I need a clutch and PP too, eh? I presume the flywheel is the same for NA and Turbo?

Hi again- I've got an EJ22T engine from my old SS (where it had a 4EAT) and a low low mileage 5MT from an SS. Great so far, right? Well I want to put them in my 1990 NA 5MT shell. Cable clutch. So my questions are: 1. Can the cable clutch be made to work on the 5MT SS gearbox? I happen to have a ver...

Thanks guys - I'm going to take the cable/hydraulic clutch question to the right area on the board. But for foreshadowing the questions will be: is there a way to use the cable linkage and therefore the NA clutch assembly with the Turbo geabox. And if not (or even if so) how late a pedal and master ...

Thanks guys. I meant the tubular exhaust manifold, not intake. Sorry should have specified. Will that fit? I did read the sticky and know of people telling about big boost on stock internals, but two things lead me to worry. 1. those internals have simply not failed yet, and 2. in the Subaru rally c...

So many great posts here - saw the engine swap sticky and it's great. I have some questions about internals that I know you guys'll be able to answer fast. Sorry these are all over the map: 1. Best place for EJ22T gasket sets? the guy who was listing them on ebay out of England seems to be out. 2. I...

Well, my girlfriend will come to my rallies, support the TV show, etc., but when I take her somewhere in the Legacy, she doesn't understand why I drive a "dad car." So I tell her about closed decks and LSDs and her eyes glaze over and she says "yeah - like I said."

Sigh.

That, my friends, is love.

They're still a little cloudy, but almost there. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid162/pc6b271500a9606b48f8c50a77582afa3/f4aadb0f.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid162/p6d3aa4199ad7ab6669402f4db8a1a38c/f4aacda7.jpg Steve Waydamminit - how come there's no fluting inside the origina...

I'm just gonna guess: search "heater blower relay" here for your 80% probable problem.

So, as I understand it, the shorthand is: headers->uppipe->turbo->downpipe->midpipe->axle back right? Then, you need a turbo front(?) crossmember to clear the header (or is that the downpipe?) Then, if you want to bolt a WRX aftermarket system onto a LegacyT you'll have to (a) remove a bracket on th...

Jason - yes - you've got it exactly. Like any rally idiot, I'm willing to buy an Autronic or MoTec for the rally car, but for my street car I'm constrained.... Will get in touch re: the springs. For the moment I've posted for the show in Misc: http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?p=121231&...
