  1. Sorry if this is wtlw... thought you guys would enjoy it.
  2. His is an automatic, IIRC it should have a 4.11 diff.
  3. No, IIRC the ECU pinout is the same for both Legacy and Impreza 2.5RS models. You can find an install guide here: http://f5.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/kPmMQ36cInuN4bM6QXM9dSMLMhihlLhYxVdgcssrz1xT5TmElxkNeBuYZpVL74jYigoV0ksVCDEMCsomgnFw8rMllkN47KI/Install%20docs/2.5_Emanage.doc Your Legacy isn't an auto is it? The settings in that file seem good on a manual car, but the auto trans will throw codes. Nightmare.
  4. Have you tried northursalia.com? What part of the wiring are you looking for, and in which platform?
  5. You still seem to have massive positive camber in front there... must be very odd to drive...
  6. It may also be the timing belt tensioner. Do you know for sure when the belt was replaced? A lot of folk will swap the tensioner along with the belt. If the belt doesn't look new, I'd replace it and the tensioner along with it.
  7. ... I just hope this transpires before they get their hands on the Legacy, Outback or Forester ranges...
  8. I think the OBS steelies will fit.
  9. The injector and ignitor plugs might be different, but it's easy to splice them. Depending on year and whether your engine is AT or MT, the ignition plate behind the crank pulley may be different, but they swap straight over. You can run the EJ22 just fine off the EJ18 ECU. There's lots of info on this swap over at both nabisco and i-club.
  10. The WRX front brake rotors are a straight swap. You need the WRX brake caliper bracket, but you can keep your calipers as they're the same as the WRX items. Of course you will need 16" rims to clear all this. To swap the rear brakes you will need the knuckles, hubs, disks, calipers, e-brake mech and shoes, mounting brackets, hoses and parking brake cables from a disk model. Make sure you get pads to suit the brackets as there have been some different styles used. A bit more work, but it's worth it. You could also upgrade direct to what people refer to as the H6 setup, the larger diameter rotors from the later Legacy / Outback models. Try this link. My advice would be to go to the scrap yard and grab the whole corner from a late model Impreza or Forester. It's not necessary to swap the brake bias proportioning valve. It should not be necessary to swap the master cylinder, though a few people have reported low pedal height or long pedal after swapping. If you're unlucky you'll also need to swap for the master cylinder from a rear disk model, any one will do.
  11. No you can't, not without some drastic modifications. The B4's turbos and downpipes interfere with the steering column on a LHD car. It was JDM-only, RHD... You'd have to completely redesign the exhaust manifolds, downpipes, pressure hoses etc etc., or convert your car to RHD. More trouble than it's worth. The 'torque valley' between the two turbos is pretty horrible in normal use anyway. Many Japanese B4 owners have switched to a single turbo setup for more power and driveability.
  12. What you're asking is of course a matter of opinion, but I think most people would agree on a few things. The EJ22 does seem to live longer, given the same treatment. The DOHC EJ25 has issues with it's head gasket, many have been replaced. I don't recall similar problems with the EJ22. OTOH, the phase I EJ22 heads don't flow well and this limits power potential. The phase II heads flow better, but have a single exhaust port per head. I think only Borla has a header to fit it. The 99+ phase II SOHC EJ25 seems very reliable and most agree it's a much better engine than the phase I. There was a TSB to put some sealant in the cooling water, and a few gaskets were replaced. Nothing like the scale of the DOHC problem though. But anyway, there was no Impreza wagon with a 2.5 until the newskool TS, so you're either getting an L or Outback Sport with a 2.2 97/98: solid, but poor heads. 99: better heads, more power, poor header choices and fragile MAF sensor. 00/01: ditto, but somewhere along the line they changed to a MAP based OBDII ECU. Can't tune with S-AFC. Check out cars101.com, lots of Subaru info there.
  13. I'm guessing that's a ver.5 or ver.6, but don't quote me on that. You might also try asking the ecuteck and MRT forums. A photo of the pins might help.
