I have the 93 AWD Turbo legacy that is going to the junkyard soon, is there anything I can take from it for performance wise that will fit right on to the 92 FWD??

Stuff that'll swap easily? Suspension and brakes are the first thing to come to mind. Any interior stuff that's nicer than your 92's (like seats, headrests, steering wheel, etc) might be worth swapping. Maybe the midpipe and muffler? I dunno.

Why is it going to the JY? You could swap the whole engine and drivetrain if you wanted.

Where are you located?

Why is it going to the junkyard?

Whole drivetrain, gas tank, rear suspension, AWD crossmembers.

um, wellthe body body is in ruff condition, and the tranny is gone, the engine was just rebuilt and only drivin like 1000 miles b4 the tranny went, it has sat in the yard for like 2 yrs and i dont want it around anymore, i am from lewiston, maine. yea, it is kind of a waste but i want it gone, i just want to no what can go on mine from it that is better, like suspention, radiator and crap, i dont no much about cars so whatever u tell me 2 take i will take from it.

take the engine. It's worth it's weight in gold.

The radiator is better but doesn't have a cap fitting so you'd need to swap over the filler tank or something. You could just swap over the radiator fans, though.

I can't believe you're junking a 1000-mile-old motor. Please tell me I'm misunderstanding something.

I will be willing to pick this motor up from you over junking it and I'd give you more than the JY would give for an old Subaru.

no, u r not misunderstanding anything, just the car is a hassle, i want everything thats better off it, and the turbo motor wont work for my car, cuz mine is FWD nad an automatic (which i prefer) and they dont plug and play and i dont have the time to deal with it, besides, if it did fit, i would be snaping axles left and right, so whats the diff between my fan and radiotor and the turbo one?

Posted: **Fri May 13, 2005 3:46 am**

the turbo motor only has 30 more hp than the na, and less than 50 ft lbs more tq. it would be fine. you just dont want to do the swap.

Posted: **Fri May 13, 2005 4:46 am**

well, actually, if there is no problem with the swap, no having to get a harness, and it is all plug and play, i will do it, i am swapping another ej22 into my other subaru cuz it blew up its first motor, i am doing the swap on saturday

I'm running a turbo motor in my N/A fwd. When I get the chance to get a crossmember and ECU I'll be puttig the turbo on. The fwd axles are stronger than the AWD. You'd be less likely to snap them anyway as you'll be spinning the tires rather than the shock going into the axle. There are two wires to switch with the turbo ECU. Do a search - this is an easy deal.

STILL I WOULD RATHER NOT HASSLE WITH IT, I CANT AFFORD GAS AS IT IS, AND A TURBO MOTOR WONT HELP, PLUS THE NEW EJ22 WAS JUST REBUILT SO, Y BOTHER, I JUST WANT TO NO EVERY THING THE TURBO SUBARU HAS THAT I CAN PUT IN MINE, U WANT THE CAR? COME GET IT, JUNKYARD WAS GIVIN ME 150$ FOR IT, U DO THE SAME, ITS YOURS, I DONT REALLY CARE ABOUT IT

When are you planning on junking it? I will come get it for 150$ before then if I can find a way to transport it.
