Re: Turbo to NA conversion

Well, sounds like everyone has covered what needs to be said. I use an NA radiator, I hammered the upper radiator frame rail down since the rad sits about a 1/2" lower.... but this is on a rally car, so had no care about it looking pretty. Used the turbo wiring harness, swapped over the entire ...

Re: 1997 Impreza engine in a 94 Legacy?

Also, a couple of 'gotchas' if you're unfamiliar.....Lego-ish, but not quite, as the pinion flange won't work w/your <95 drive shaft flange, and the rear axles might be different, too...can't recall from my 5-speed swap for sure.

Re: 1997 Impreza engine in a 94 Legacy?

So I picked up the 97 engine, in great shape, new seals everywhere. Has roller rockers, so the cams will swap over directly. I was about to buy new cams for the engine but Ken at Deltacam made me go home and check the rockers first as he was pretty sure I could just swap. Sure enough they were the s...

Re: 1997 Impreza engine in a 94 Legacy?

So the next question is: What ECU would I use? Would a 97 ECU run the 94 Harness? Or would I have to use the 94 ECU and hope that not much changed year-to-year regarding fueling/timing? Ideally would like to stick with a stock ECU, but could be pressured into going with a standalone like a Megasquirt.

Re: 1997 Impreza engine in a 94 Legacy?

Hmm, the heads though is the primary reason I want to swap. I have two bad valve guide seals and cam seals, would be cheaper to swap this engine in as a whole unit than it would be to take apart the heads, have them machined, cleaned, rebuilt, and put new headgaskets on. So the earlier intake manifo...

1997 Impreza engine in a 94 Legacy?

So... I am sure there is a topic out there about this already, tried searching, couldn't get specific enough to answer the question.... Anyways: Car is currently a 1994 Legacy Turbo, with a 1991 Legacy 2.2L Dualport NA engine and the pins swapped to run the NA ECU. I have a lead on a cheap 1997 Impr...

Re: How hard to add push-button starter?

It is incredibly simple. I have a push button start on the rally car. Just figure out which wires go to where on the lock cylinder. Then wire in toggle switches for the Ignition power, and accessory power. Then a pushbutton for the actual start. You flip ignition and accessory on (as if you were tur...

Re: 1994 legacy N/A valve cover gaskets

With your SOHC heads it is not only possible, but kind of easy! You can even do HG's in the car with that motor as well. Seconding what he said. I actually replaced the headgasket on my NA legacy on a sheet of ice in the middle of a parking lot at night in January in northern Michigan when my rally...

I'm amazed to find a Subaru in my junkyards, let alone an older legacy that hasn't had the engine already removed. Not much to choose from in the midwest. :(

WTB: NA Intake and PCV setup

Looking for a spare intake tube and more importantly, the various vacuum lines for the PCV system. Found mine to be severely cracked when doing my race car overhaul before STPR.

For a 1991 Subaru Legacy NA engine.

Re: how do you get the timing belt on? TOO TIGHT.

OK, I'm losing my mind. A new timing belt is simply too tight to be installed, even with the tensioner opened all the way up. Does this mean you already let the pin out of the tensioner? Or... what? The tensioner needs to be in the full closed position with a pin holding it there. Once the T-belt i...
