Hey,ThreeEyedBandit, raised a question in another thread about running a clutch for a 2.5 with an n/a trans. I have searched to find the answer with no luck. I seem to remember some one here saying something about the 2.5 clutches having some issue with the 2.2 though.

I have been running an n/a ...

Has anyone deleted the factory air inlet elbow (# 46023AA110)?

It seems the stock piece shouldn't be as brittle as it is (yeah, what should I expect from a frequently heated 14 year old piece of rubber, right?)
I am tempted to try a silicone elbow that reduces from the coffee cup to the turbo and ...

As I was waiting at the, so called, traffic control light tonight, I heard a nice, loud, uncorked, boxer sound. I looked to the source as a white Legacy punched it through the chicane like on-ramp to I-15 southbound at Antelope Drive, in Layton, Utah. It sounded like it was nicely wound up and ...

The swap is still in a pile in my garage. The guy that was going to actually do the swap has been busy, so ..... I could do it, but my major deterents are: 1) TIME - to get it all done and not leave stuff hacked together just to get it back on the road instead of done right. and 2) I don't want to ...

Thanks for the help.
I pulled the trans, pedal assembly, clutch cable, speedo cable, cross member with a mount out of a 97 outback sport. I didn't know my A/T driveline was too short until I was paying for the parts. I didn't have the time to go back out and pull one of the two available, but I ...

Is the driveline for an A/T or M/T?
If it is M/T, how much shipped to Utah?

I am trying to assemble the pieces necessary for an A/T to M/T swap in my T wagon. I can't seem to find the answer to this question here or from the local Subie dealerships:

Is the trans crossmember specific to:
1) turbo vs non turbo
2) 5mt vs 4eat
3) turbo auto vs turbo mt

in other words do I ...

Jason I tried it right side up and thought it looked funny, because the opening on the lip was narrower than the opening of the "mouth" in the stock bumper. It seems there were fitting issues that way somehow, but I don't remember just exactly what now.
Adam West: It does look more like an RS scoop ...

I was going to post this myself, but I would have called it "Ghetto garage front lip"!!!
I really like how some of the JDM and Auzzie lips look on our cars, but they are way out there on price, so I thought I would try something just to see how it would work.
Here is my own constructive criticism. I ...

In reading on the board, it seemed to me that most subaru trannys will bolt up to the ej22t although getting the right pieces might be confusing. I am trying to assemble the pieces.
I have a low mile 03 forester 5mt that I am planning to put in my turbo wagon. ( I have also seen that this may have ...

What are the thicknesses of the banjos of the oil feed line that are on the vf11? I know they are 10mm and 12mm diameters, but i am wondering the dimension between the copper washers - like block to bolt head or turbo body to bolt head. And is the banjo that goes to the turbo the same vf11 to tdo5 ...

Hold the display button then press the H or M button to adjust. The numbers only ascend, but minutes move rapidly if you pass up the right one.

AN Bulkhead fitting? Please educate me.

Is there performance lost using only one of the intercooler inlets? Which one is not used?

Kind of unrelated: If one were to get a wrx ic (tdo4 I think) would it fit right up to the Y pipe of the wrx ic when mounted in our cars?
I got my wrx ic last week ...

When talking to a local Subaru parts guy about ordering another vacuum line with the check valve, he said: "So you have some moisture built up in the valve and it wont work on cold mornings, huh?" He said it is more common on WRX's than on our cars.
I got to thinking about WD-40 originally being WD ...

vrg3, thanks for the tips.
Since I have normal feeling brakes after a few hard pushes, I assessed the check valve cold vs after the brakes began to feel normal. Cold: no flow either way. After pedal felt near normal: difficult at first from booster to manifold then easy. After it went through ...

So do you plug the line once it is off the booster, the place the line comes off, or both?

I have been having a similar situation with my brakes on cold mornings. Refreshing all the brake fluid seemed to help initially. It may have been just enough warmer to make a difference though. This week it ...

I have a similar problem with full boost at partial throttle and occasionally even more power as I back off the throttle. As I back off the throttle (if the tranny doesn't shift) it will pull harder as the boost guage drops to 5#. I have been suspecting vacuum leak (I have only 10" at idle) and/or ...

I am fighting bogging issues and have been searching TPS threads and came across the reset ecu topic. For what it is worth - I had a mechanic tell me to reset the ECU by disconnecting both + and - terminals from the battery and connecting them together for 5 min. This was for a SLAAB 900 n/a (btw ...

Here's a little input for the collective knowledge base. I had driven across the barren scenery from SLC, Utah to Rexburg, Idaho seemingly without incident. When I started it up about an hour later, however, there was a terrible vibration coming from the engine bay, most notably from 1000-2000 RPM ...

I just installed a Megan Racing downpipe that I got from eBay. Their write up says it is for a WRX, but is 2-3" too short. Minimum bid is quite nice also. I thought I would gamble because I figured I would have to modify anyway. I had to work the mounting bracket to the trans so 1) the flange would ...

Thanks vrg3. btw it was good to meet you at the Cobb meet. (I have the white wagon with white wheels)
I suppose the alarm isn't factory installed, but it does say Subaru on it, so was probably dealer installed.
I looked for a button to push to no avail, but I was able to pull a link out of the ...

I have a 93 touring wagon that came with the Subaru alarm setup. I unhooked my battery to reset my ECU after installing a new downpipe and now the park lights and dash lights flash. I have been told by one Subaru dealership thatI can pay 40 bucks for them to reprogram the alarm. Another dealership ...
