Joe's 93 RHD Legacy Wagon Build

[Sublimejoe]

Thanks dude! I owe it all to my wife though, I would've just complained on the internet had she not stepped in.

Another piece to the puzzle. NOS molding from the U.K.



Allen head bolts to replace all the mismatched bolts in the bay. Black with black washers

I removed the img tags from the pictures since the pictures were huge.

[Sublimejoe]

Ok is that better? I made them the large versions

[Legacy777]

That's better

The trim piece looks like something that goes on a fender

[Sublimejoe]

It does go on a fender, right here:

[Sublimejoe]

Oh Shit! What do we have here!







JDM EJ20G and a fresh new hoist to drop it into the car!

[mike-tracy]

You mean ej20k right? Wasted spark, 3 plug ecu, straight turbo inlet under the manifold, etc.

[Sublimejoe]

I suppose you would know better. It's weird, a lot of the engine import places list the motors as Ej20g & ej20k. There is so much conflicting information too, I've seen the ej20k listed as forester and STI. Which one is it?

I see some red paint flakes on the intake manifold.

I also saw that, can't tell if it came like that or someone painted it at some point.

[cj91legss]

Considering the age of the motor I would guess it came like that which would lead me to believe that's a 20k engine. BUT I can't swear to it. I bet Mike can.

Any way to tell for sure?

[allnines']

usually, a factory coating would not flake off unless oil or another fluid was allowed to remain on the surface for some time-not likely for the intake manifold-I think you should paint it "postal blue"

[Sublimejoe]

Not a hallucination:

[Sublimejoe]

Thanks to lots of help from Mike it has been verified that I my motor is a V4 STI! Pretty radical, now to figure out how I can get it running in the Legacy!

[cj91legss]

You just need to put your intake manifold harness on that engine and then work out all the pcv and intercooler stuff.

I think I'm gonna end up putting an Ej20g intake manifold on it

[cj91legss]

No, you shouldn't have to do that. Just your stock 22t harness.

On your 20k manifold*

Well my car was originally a non-turbo

[cj91legss]

I missed that part, my apologies.

I originally ordered the wrong clutch fork, so now I am trying to order the correct one. The tranny is from a 1996 Impreza, which was originally cable, but I have converted the car to hydraulic. Verifying this is the fork I would need for a hydraulic setup:

Photographed a car for a friend today at his shop and got this radical strut tower bar:





Also my new clutch fork came in. Time to install!
