Ive seen a bad MAF cause a backfire through the intake also.

You wouldn't happen to have the radio surround trim piece would you?

Great looking car! I just picked up one of the same color that im in the process of rebuilding/restoring and hope it looks as nice once im done as yours does. Is that your EF?

Oh yeah, are these engine mounts the same as a WRX or any other ej series engine?

I'll keep that in mind, I really need to see if this engine is salvageable before i start spending money on performance parts

My preference would be to rebuild this engine, but if i decide its not worthwhile i was just curious if its worth anything to somebody else. I would probably be selling it as a longblock.

Yea the shields are pretty beat, i think im just going to toss them. I may even replace the exhaust with an ebay piece (not sure if they will fit or if there is any benefit). If the engine is salvagable i think i'll go ahead and replace the head bolts. They dont seem to be to expensive. Thanks for t...

Of course all gaskets and most rubber hoses will be replaced along with the timing components, headgaskets, valve stem seals etc.

Hey everyone, I got the engine pulled out of the car today and will begin tearing it down monday at work. Apparently it wasn't very well maintained and has several oil leaks, and also had quite a bit of blowby. The engine had a pretty serious knock. Im hoping to rebuild this engine rather than repla...

Sorry, my domain host had a malfunction and had to revert to an old backup and i didn't realize my pictures were down. They are back up now.

Perhaps he meant crank horsepower? I would imagine there are gains to be had with a tune but im not sure about that much. However i would guess that the stock tune is EXTREMELY conservative since the engine is non-intercooled from the factory to prevent detonation.

Actually i havent even got to drive my legacy LOL. Ive got a truck, its just that rhode island would require me to take a few days off work etc, its a long drive from where i live.

Yea im down in Georgia and rhode island would be a heck of a road trip lol. But i do wish you luck with the sale then!

do you have any means of shipping the engine?

Gotcha, JHOT actually has another location thats within driving distance of where i live, i plan on giving them a call. I just want to make sure i understand what will work and what i need so that when tax returns come around i can buy an engine for the car if need be. Thanks for your help!

thanks for the reply. Im not dead set on retaining the stock ihi turbo, infact i am considering swapping to a WRX turbo also. I will definitely check out the ej20g. Its definitely my preference to make it a pretty straightforward engine replacement. what kind of condition is your ej22t in? $400 is v...

Hello guys, My 93 SS turbo 5mt legacy has got a major engine malfunction and i believe it to be a broken connecting rod based on the loud knocking sound and seeming to be a cylinder down, but i wont know until i get the engine out and disassembled. While my car does have the ej22t, they dont seem to...

These are all of the current pics i took today: http://www.halffastmotorsports.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=6 The body is in good condition, has had hood/RF fender replaced and clearcoat is toast so it needs paint, but its got a few minor dings so no worries there. Today i took the seats and cen...

Hello everyone, I recently picked up a 93 Legacy Sport Sedan 5spd (turbo) and was recommended by someone to check the site out. So far ive been really impressed with the information on this site pertaining to 1st gen legacys! I come from a family that has always owned subarus, but this legacy is my ...
