What is wrong with the engine?

Are you splitting the block halves? If so, you should likely replace the bearings. If you're replacing rings, the bores need to be honed, and if you're doing that, the piston clearance needs to be checked.....

If you're splitting the block halves, you should get an engine rebuild kit with all the associated gaskets, etc.

I prefer Subaru parts for rebuild, and if you want to go that route, you can get the rebuild kit from www.subarugenuineparts.com

Some have used the 440cc injectors on the stock ECU. It may run a little rich. Additionally engine management would help utilize the injectors better, but it will need to be tuned.

If you're handy with metal/piping work, that kit is probably ok, but it will likely require a decent amount of modification to get it to fit.

So the 98 outback had an engine bay fire? I'm not sure I'd pursue that one.

As for the 99 Impreza, if the timing belt just needs to be replaced as part of routine maintenance, it shouldn't be a big deal. It'll just be something that needs to be done. If the belt just needs replacing as part of routine maintenance, I'd probably go after the Impreza

The turbo pump is different than the non-turbo pump. You will need to get a turbo specific water pump.

As for the power steering pump, they should be the same between non-turbo & turbo legacies.

Note too that 91 Legacy turbo, and all WRX & STI pumps will work but require you to use the oil cooler. If you don't plan to use the OEM oil cooler, then you need the 92-94 SS and TW water pump. I believe those are the only turbo style water pump that doesn't have the extra water "nipple."

As an additional note to Mike's comment about the 92-94 water pump. Some people have put a rubber plug on the nipple going to the oil cooler. This would allow you to use a WRX/STi water pump on a 92-94 turbo Legacy.

oh really any benefit ? i mean i found my steering wheel to be very hard to turn
also i heard a very big big crazy sound if i turn my ac or heater on

i found a new pump for 120 $ localy so i guess ill just take the oem water pump.
just need to find a replacement for the power steering pump new is so expensive!!!!!

i also need to find a hood and the black plastic between the motor wiper and windshield.

i got brand new fender and were installing the front inter-cooler and JDM for light
but im just worry, i got jdm 440cc injector and jesc map, but i do not have the engine management yet

so i guess ill leave everything stuck until i have the remaining part.

also anyone know good brand for battery one that make is prove under really cold weather??

You can rebuild the PS pump if you're feeling adventurous.

i have a question guy i have front mount inter cooler a quite big one if you ask me.

im still with the vf11 turbo and i wonder if i can use the front mount without issue.

im looking for the remaining part for a upgrade

here want i have right now

440 jdm injector not install yet
front intercooler getting install this week
i also have a jesc.

now i doing a gasket job on the engine, timming belt.
new water pump is on his way too.

i got a Innovate LC-1 Wideband O2 + XD-16 Gauge Kit
i know i need some sort of EM and get the ring to put the injector in
i got walbro pump still in the box.
Magnacor wire in box too.

this was a car i use daily but i had bad luck and problem in the pass :engine burn in my first t-leg 94 then
get hit by someone with the other one.
i am short on money but i had all this part in the closet, i want to use them and eventualy complete the mod.

any help in any ways would be so awesome

so my question his what can be install and what need to wait for the other part to operate correctly.
like do you think drop injector on my car is bad if i don't have EM yet?

You need to wait to install injectors until you get EM installed.
