ok so i have a quick question. well a few really.


I'm looking at a bone stock 92 legacy sedan, pretty sure its the "L" model with 150k on the motor. so i'd like to know if i could just drop in a ej22t + crossmember into it and make a "SS" legacy.

Also is there anything i should know abou these motors? I'm familar with wrx's and 97-99 legacys but nothing of this "vintage"

thanks

well,, its a little more complicated than that, you have the wiring, radiator would need to change, the x-member , exhaust, all the intake stuffs , sensors.. and I am sure some misc other things. but overall yes, you would have the lighter duty trans / diff etc but it would work.

The ej22t is a good motor, as long as its well taken care of, if you have one out do the head gaskets / belts / timing pulleys / water pump ( standard stuff ) before putting it in.

Watch the plastic water resivior, they all crack.

thats about all I can think of.

sorry to say it but search, there are some good threads on ej22t swap into regular legacy.
the NA trans should hold up as long as you dont shift like an idiot.

Yeah, I've got a thread in the electrical forum on what is needed.

here's the pics from my swap
