Re: DIY HELP! - '92 EJ22 waterpump, oil pump, and cam seals?

My new question is: How do I safely remove the crank sprocket? Chilton's manual does not go into enough detail for me to feel confident trying my methods. I typically break things when forcing them apart. Glad you got the cams all sorted out. . Crank gear should pull off pretty easy. It's not press...

Re: R160 Subaru Clutch LSD with 3.70 gears Diff (ebay)

Swapping the diff isn't that difficult if you can check the backlash. Pull the retainers from the sides, remove rear diff cover, remove stub shafts and then the ring gear off the Clutch LSD. Then do the same for your stock diff (so you can retain the ratios you need). And bolt it all back together, ...

Re: DIY HELP! - '92 EJ22 waterpump, oil pump, and cam seals?

1) With the engine in the car, what is the best way to remove the cam sprockets and access the cam seals? 2) Is there a gasket for the oil pump, Or is it an o-ring style seal? A set of o-rings were provided with purchased pump. 1. Do you have access to air tools? I've been successful with just a qu...

Re: Help on a 90 Legacy

Sounds like a short. How did you "fix" your HVAC controls? Did you try and unplug the HVAC and see if it worked again?

I'm imagining that if at this point you checked your grounds at the power windows or seatbelt motors you would find that they were bad.

Re: Wagon Spoiler available on eBay

On my Impreza, I used silicone sealant from Home Depot to attach my hatch spoiler. Not sure if that's something you'd want to try, but it worked perfectly. In my case, the spoiler sits over the glass, so the silicone is actually on the glass.

Re: Megasquirt DIYPNP

Well, it's officially alive. A 10k resistor in line with the cam signal fixed my rev issue. We still need to sort out proper fueling. At the moment it will rev to about 6200 RPM, but then runs out of fuel. A base tune will make the car drivable and once we shake out the bugs, I can consider it a com...

Check your knock sensor as well - if it's cracked it will be hurting performance.

Exedy P/N is KSB04. Trans is doing fine. I do my best to be easy on the launches, only launched at 4K rpm once. It's all in how you treat it. Your mileage may vary!

Re: Fun with knock sensors (Legacy vs. WRX Comparison)

VERY interesting data. Here all along I always thought that the knock sensor was the same internally between all revisions. Apparently I'm wrong.

How are these sensors hooked up - what connector are you using?

Why would they want to modify the map signal and not the maf? Perhaps it was some way of changing boost cut? I'd be willing to be money that's what it was for. Looking at the board, there's a potentiometer there ( the blue rectangle on the right side of the aftermarket PCB). A lot of "DIY"...
