it's a little red STAR just to the left of the subject line
Thanx for the explain

I think the red star just means it's an "active" topic with a certain amount of replies.

Regarding manuals and wiring diagrams, have you seen this post in the stuff you need to know forum? https://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=14485 This is the wiring diagrams for the 90 Legacy which should be same for your 91 https://www.main.experiencetherave.com/subaru_manual_scans/F...

Hi Josh, Hello Mr. Sidewards I don't want to enlarge openings, but if that's the reality of the manufacturing process, my fancy close tolerance holes shot me in the foot And what is the little red dot, next to my original post please ??? Hi Larry, I'm not sure the red dot you're talking about. It m...

Yeah, I've heard of it and been told that's why the windows in these cars slows down. I need to pull all the windows, clean the tracks in the regulator, regrease, and reinstall the windows.

Hi Larry,

I ended up getting the TiC fender braces a while back. I had to drill out one of the holes slightly to get things to line up so I think you're going to have a little bit of tweaking on every car unless you want to enlarge the openings as you have seen in the stock brace.

As suggested, if you have a borescope or similar that would be the easiest inspection. If not, and If you're comfortable trying to remove the sprayer head that would get you access to the hose. You could try taking off the sprayer head and see if you get any fluid coming out then. If not you could b...

In addition to what's been said, are you sure you have the correct seal for the cam?

This really sounds like the ECU is getting bad sensor data and causing your issues. My suggestion at this point would be to use a multi-meter and check the resistance of the wiring from every sensor back to the ECU. Out of curiosity, have you verified that the ECU is getting good voltage and is grou...

What year and body style first gen Legacy do you have and plan to swap the 93-01 Impreza suspension to?

There are some differences in ride height and damping rates. I think the wagon may be more affected. Additionally, you would need to match FWD to FWD components and AWD to AWD

Ok, can you run the checks on the MAF sensor and MAF sensor wiring and let us know how that checks out.

The specification for good injectors is 11-12 ohms. I don't think your injectors are the problem. Is your car AT or MT and what color is your MAF sensor? https://www.main.experiencetherave.com/subaru_manual_scans/FSM_Scans/MAF_testing1.jpg https://www.main.experiencetherave.com/subaru_manual_scans/F...

Typically you troubleshoot the lowest code number first. I would suggest clearing the codes, verify the codes have been cleared before starting the car again, try starting the car again, and then check the codes to see what has come back. That will help with narrowing down what could be phantom code...

I would lean towards the MAF sensor as well. I'd also suggest checking the ECU for codes if you haven't already done that.

Let us know what you find out.

Try and take some pictures if you can when you fit them.

Looking shiny

Welcome first time poster

The WRX did get a wider track in 2002 for the sedan, but not the wagon. So if you can find wagon specific axles they should be the same track/width. You could also possibly look at the non-turbo models since they won't be the larger width as well.

Yup, as you found out if you use the newer eight bolt main engines you don't need to do anything with the trans.

I have thought about an EJ257 engine....but don't know if I can justify the money since we've got a lot of other expenses now.

Paintwork looks nice!

So it's mainly just a fuel odor, it's not like you have liquid fuel anywhere? What is your fuel mileage like?

Have you tried a vacuum/pressure pump to put a little pressure on the fuel tank through the evap hose to see if it holds pressure?

I've never seen that non-turbo one without the flap. Pretty interesting.

Just to confirm....you smell raw unburnt fuel correct? Are you able to pinpoint where the smell is coming from?

Did you pull the spark plugs, and what did they look like?

I don't have any data to support it, but the searching I did online people indicated the single exhaust port heads actually flowed better.

John,

If you don't find one on here you may want to post in the first gen legacy facebook groups.

Honestly, I'd just keep the 97 intake. I don't know that you're going to see any major difference.....and I don't know if there are interchangeable between the different style heads.

What heads are you planning to utilize? Will this be for a non-turbo or turbo build? I think both intake manifolds are going to be pretty similar. The heads are usually the restriction in flow. You will need to match the manifold to the heads so I think determining which heads you plan to use should...
