Hey all,

Just did the 5mt swap in my 91 fwd legacy. I was looking at the Auto crossmember and wondered..


Will adding the auto cross member add strength to chassis or am i wasting my time?

Thanks

Hey All, I have just finished auto to 5mt conversion. All is working well but I now feel like a new challenge. I would like to swap to AWD. I found a awd of the same year that i can get the parts from cheap..... The only problem is the donor car is an auto...... I would like to keep the manual as i ...

Update Motor and 5mt box in and functioning correctly. Thankfully. I would just like to say a huge thanks to Josh fr the write up on your website, The electrical wiring was a breeze thanks to it. I ended up using 96 block and heads with 91 intake manifold. I kept all 96 sensors except as josh sugges...

This isn't really something worth chasing up is it.

Thanks for the info josh.

Hey guys, Doing a standard rebuild of an ej22. There is uneven build up of carbon in cylinders 1 and 3 compared to Cylinders 2 and 4. 1 and 3 have a much larger amount of carbon. What causes this? is it running rich in these cylinder? How can I rectify the problem Any suggestions would be great Chee...

Thanks for that. I though that may be the case. The auto cable enters the gearbox close to the firewall, where the manual looks as it sits more toward the back of the tranny. Haven't measured it as yet but it doesn't look long enough. Will hit the wreckers today. Cant wait to get the box in and driv...

hey

Just an update. the exhaust ports are the same on both 91 and 96 heads here in oz. Single exhaust port per cylinder. i can get photo's of heads if you like.

I did learn that the auto box is huge compared to the 5mt.

cheers

Hey all, In the process of 5mt swap. On my 91 legacy the auto gearbox has a cable speedo cable. In the 5mt it is a sensor. It's from a 96 legacy. Can I just remove the sensor from the 5mt and use a cable? If not can I just change my instrument cluster? I know the above is a long shot..... any help w...

Thanks for the prompt replies. legacy I will check if they bolt up when get the motor out of my car. I have both engines complete both running the 96 appears to be in better condition considering the 91 has been overheated. if using the 96 heads I know I will have to change the exhaust manifold but ...

Hey all, My car is a 91 legacy. I have 2 intake manifolds, both came from legacy's, 1 from a 91 ej22m and a 96 ej22. The 96 manifold has longer tubes to the heads. I estimate it to be about 20-30mm higher from the top of the block. The 91 manifold would be better if you had a top mount, but are ther...

Thanks lecacy777 I will see what condition the motor is in when I get it back home if I have to rebuild the motor I will make a hybrid. I think I will do the straight swap if i can and use 96 Ecu. I like troubleshooting wiring problems. the 96 headers should bolt Up to the 91 exhaust? will get those...

Hey fella's and ladies, Dayne from Canberra, Australia here. Just like to say thanks for the vast amount of knowledge I have found here. I have done searches and am confident enough to do an engine swap. Just want to confirm a few things. I have a 91 legacy EJ22e auto which my wife cooked to the poi...
