Wow.

Ok then!

Time to start look at the FSM and get educated.

Any other problem area's that i could be missing?

Ok. All great info! Good to know that the NA Rad setup will work with a turbo motor swap. I assume a few guys here have done these swaps. So if i yank the entire dash board and as much as the wiring as i can in one shot, these 3 connector for the intake manifold harness are coming with? I ask this q...

Hmm interesting. This seems more doable than i might think. My current concerns are this wiring and radiator business. I know the 3 engine wiring connector by the washer jug go somewhere back into the car then into the ECM and what ever else. Are these connectors PART of the dash board harness or is...

Hello legacy central! Long time no post by me, have been busy with many customer cars and such. Also buy a Corvette some how in the mix??? Dont worry, Still have my mint 93 Legacy SS fulled moded!!! Anyways, My other poor 93 legacy SS body is soo rusted i dont know what to make of it anymore.... I r...

Ok. Not to keep this thread alive or something. So i did lift my legacy with just outback struts. I used 1999 outback struts. Brand new from KYB and Ultra 8's never heard of them but they work OK soo far. My EXACT setup: 1993 legacy turbo springs 1999 outback 2.5L struts 195/65R15 Goodyear ultra gri...

OK. Update! I have been able to replace the entire rear sub frame! All bolts that were bolted to the uni body came outwith any issues! Now the long spindle bolts were not soo nice.... What had happened was the 2 bushings on the bolt seized to the bolt. So you could not twist out the bolt. I ended up...

So. From what i have read from these additional post, people just run an outback strut and basically whatever spring you like... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/36097-1992-legacy-wagon/ https://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=45604 BUT the springs depending on car for sure ha...

And this is why i ask these kind of questions i guess. Now this is what i assume. The lower spring perch on the stock legacy ss struts is likely the same as a 99 outback. The strut rod/ tube with treads on it is also the same length between my 93 ss and a 99 outback. The only real difference between...

Thats all i needed to know wtdash.

As long as i can use my stock spring im happy.

I have a strut machine so its no issue to swap parts around.

Im just mostly concern about wasting my money. LOL.

Otherwise thanks for the reply.

Hello Legacy central. I come with a simple question. Can i run 96-99 Outback front and rear struts on my 93 legacy turbo? From what i have seen.....Yes yes you can with out any issues. Links: https://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=52795&p=415425&hilit=outback+struts#p415425 ht...

Good call on the alternator.

Good thing in converted the car to run the more easy to find 2 wire alternators.

But again. All seems good!

I will for sure test the alternator on the bench one of these days.

Just need some time.

Tom

OK. Long time no see. I had to wait for this for a long time for a real result. Update: So i had this odd running AFR when pressing the brakes last summer and into fall. I think i figured out the problem over this spring and summer time. The cars battery was just weak..... Yes that sounds so dumb an...

That is true.

Still dont want to have to slice into my trunk if need be.

But TOTALLY will to fix it.

Im going to start spraying up everything soon now and prep for this job.

Excellent suggestions! So i have replaced rear sub frames before on newer subaru's. I have replaced 2 2003 outback rear sub frames due to rusting out..... I did manage to remove the 4 main frame to uni body bolts but with MUCH difficulty. I mean cans to PB blaster and a host of other things. Also im...

Hello legacy central. I come today with a simple question. What is people success rate of replacing extremely rusted rear sub frames? I mean EXTREMELY rusted. I can push a screw driver clean into the sub frame where the bolts go into the body of the car. http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq219/Tomm...

Hello everyone. Just thought i would share a video of my 1993 SS 1st cold start. Battery was weak but still started up no problem! Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO-S2vRJgyQ Quick note about the cars exhaust/ lack of exhaust. Its a full TBE with a cobb down pipe,no cats, random 4 inch resonat...

Well. To put the car back to "stock" is i would think fairly difficult in my opinion. Mainly because i would have to pull the turbo, and other junk related to that. But i could do that as a last resort. I know my local tuning shop called speed factor racing DOES do in shop dyno tuning. But...

Well...... After much testing and part replacement..... I think my ecu/ tune on the ecu is messed up. I swapped 3 MAF sensors one had 20km one had 130km one had well over 200km Car ran the same on ALL the MAF sensors I checked voltage on my MAF wires including the signal Every thing "seemed&quo...

Have not checked out my wiring yet due to too much other work, BUT this hit me like a TON of bricks! My turbo flows too much air. Its sounds stupid i know. Just hear me out. I have the Rob Tune 550 tune/ yellow top injectors. Im suppose to have the TD05 turbo or something like that. I have the mythi...

Thanks legacy777 for the fast reply!
The device on the left of my steering wheel is my GFB electronic boost controller.

I'm going to now for sure do a full system wiring check and and ecm wiring check/inspection!

If all else fails.....Haltech is in order...... sorry Rob Tune.

OK. Performed the TPS calibration the best i could. All the feeler gauge numbers see to be with in spec. I swapped the TPS from my beater to my good car. Still runs the same........ I noticed when i removed my turbo inlet pipe, you know the one that cracks all the time. It was cracked! So i replaced...

Ok Legacy777. I will try the ecu reset and perform the full TPS diag. and calibration this weekend.

Just need to bring home my multi meter and feeler gauge set to start.

Will report back again with findings.

Tom.

OK. Sort of update. So the car does idle OK I think basically all the time now which is good! I see anywhere from 12ish to 14.2 AFR now. But now I still have this lean cruising AFR..... It keeps bouncing around running lean all the time when warm.....making the car run way WAY to hot....... I have a...

Legacy777 yes I have JUST swapped out the IACV. I could NOT find a good used or new IACV for a ej22t so i had to find some other replacement. I ended up finding a guy who was parting out a ton of JDM cars like wrx/sti's/twin turbo legacy's. I risked it all with a 22650aa132 IACV. looks like this: ht...

Again. Not to beat a dead horse because no one really knows how many there are out there. I live in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada. I have seen a few 90-94 legacy turbo's. To be fair, Winnipeg is the biggest city in Manitoba soo your likely to see more. Probably in my travels and such i have seen probably...
