Ogre,

Do you have a part number or brand name for the generic replacement? Did the replacement have all of the conections needed?

Thanks,

I was doing a routine check of the coolant lines and system today and broke a nipple off of the coolant fill tank/reservoir. I could not believe how brittle the hose nipples and the reservoir were. I know age, coolant soak and heat all factor into the breakdown of the material. I thought everyone sh...

Which line do you do you use for a MBC? I am going to install a MBC and need to know which vacuum line to pick up. Do you use the factory wastegate solenoid when using a MBC? TIA

What year JDM intercooler is shown above?

I need a good fitting gauge pod for my boost and A/F gauges. I can not find a gauge pod for a '92-'94 Legacy. Where can I buy one?

Thanks,

Well that was a $40.00 quick fix. I purchased a resistor along with a new knock sensor today. I had both installed in 20min..

It was no problem at all. I used a long extension to get to the bolt. Took about 10 min. to remove and install. The torque sepc. calls for 14 ft.lbs. My torque wrench doesn't set at that low of a setting so I used the in.lbs torque wrench. I torqued the knock sensor at 168in.lbs.. Is this the proper...

I purchased a new knock sensor for my '92 turbo Legacy. The Haynes manual mentions removing the intake to remove and install the knock sensor. Does the intake have to be removed to install the knock sensor? TIA

I have a friend that mechanisc at the local Subaru dealership. I called him and he said it was the resistor. He said that the resistor is located behind the glove box.

The Haynes manuel mentioned the resistor causing this problem, but was not clear on where it was located.

I noticed my fan only operates on high setting 4. Has anyone ran into this problem before?

TIA

I have raced my GN a few times. I don't drag race the GN any longer, it's not worth crashing or spinning into the wall. The best the GN ran was a 7.05@99mph in the 1/8th. mile. This was with a 1.778 short time (60ft). Not to bad for a street car. The yellow T Type ran a 6.75 @ 102mph in the 1/8th. D...

I can't believe the difference a fresh set of plugs will make. I am loving this car more and more.

I have a friend that has a GNX. It only has 8,000 miles and stays in the garage all of the time. I think I would rather have a '89 turbo TA. I have drove a few of the turbo TA's. You have the best of both worlds; power and handling. No pics. at this time. My digital camera took a crap. I hope to hav...

I will be picking up a set of BKR6E-11 plugs tonight.

I am about two and a half hours west of Charlotte, just out side of Asheville. I did all of the body work myself and a friend painted the car for me. We trade out work so I don't know what a paint job like I have would cost. I only had door dings to glaze in and clear coat to remove. I primed and bl...

Thanks guys, I am still feeling my way around the bbs.

Thanks! I love turbo cars.

I am looking for very good replacement spark plugs for my '92 turbo Legacy. What do you guys recomend and what gap.

My mods:

3" down pipe
3" exhoust Ultra Flow Muffler
3" ram air to stock air box

Every thing else is stock.

TIA

There is verry little if any corrugations in this tubing if you dont pull/expant it. It is aluminum hose in a 3' section that can be pulled out to 8'. I did not need to extend the hose any at all. I had to cut off about 8" of the hose. It is smooth inside until pulled for added length. That is ...

I finished installing all of the parts after painting my Legacy. I chose to paint the mirrors the same color as the car. I removed all of the moldings, door handles, mirrors, grill, hood scoop, etc.. The car looks awesome with the painted mirrors. This was a big project to be a every day driver. It ...

My legacy has the nose air dam with a hole for fog lamps. My car does not have the fog lamps so I thought this would be a great place to pick up fresh air to feed the air box. I purchased a 3" flex hose at Home Depot for the air duct. I opned the hole in the air box with a air saw to fit the 3&...

I was thinking about upgrading the fuel pump in my '92 turbo. I use the Walbro 340 fuel pumps for the turbo Buicks. Would this be a good pump for my Legacy? Any wiring mods.?

My mods. are: 3" mandrel down pipe and exhoust. Factory air box with ram 3" ram air pipe.

Thanks for the reply. This is good information. That is one less pipe I have to fab up.

I have a friend that told me some of the turbo Legacys have a precat in the up-pipe. Is this ture? I looked at mine and it looks like a round up pipe. Dosent look like a cat would fit in the up-pipe area. Not to mention that it would kill the turbin fins if a piece of the cat came loose.
