Re: dankberries 1993 Legacy SS (PHOTO UPDATE! 11/11/15)

Nice progress! You have a lot of time invested!! Feels good eh! Did you ever find side skirts? We sourced 00to 04 outback skirts. They will need about 2" removed but the fitment is absolutely awesome otherwise. Its what ss flares should have looked like!

Re: 2.5 engine questions

Using the ej18/20/22 crank would make it a destroked build, and youd theoretically end up around 2.35L. From my understanding, the stock pistons wont work in that scenario, not due to fitment, but due to how far (less) they travel with that crank. Imho you should use an ej255/7 crank with that setu...

Re: Torque Converter for 4.444 swap into EJ22T

Was able to source a MY97 Outback trans (eventually) and installed with new seals, checked the duty C for resistance, MPT clutch seemed free, new filter, adjusted the band to 97 specs. Trans has ~16...

More problems. Intermittent super lean idle. When lean vacuum goes to -15hg. Normally 19-20hg @ idle. Leans out so bud it will misfire. If i blip the throttle it will go way rich. And sweep back and forth rich lean rick lean and settle super lean. And other times perfect idle -19 to -20 vacuum and i...

What other chassis mods would be required? Fuel tank for sure. Can a back transfer section be swapped onto his 4eat? Or is there vast differences? Everything else is fairly simple to swap. His legacy is in really good condition for a first Gen in out area!!!

Mine was slow to engage. When cold id put it in gear and count to seven then go. I drove it that way for 3 years. Then turboed it. Until it smoked 4th gear. It still ran and drove good regardless. I picked up a 97 gt tranny and did the swap. Lucas atf additive helped
