    Thanks for the education and entertainment folks. Hey , just an old dinosaur here , what I said was basically - find the parts to keep it healthy and allow it to live out it’s life without detrimental consequences. The stuff I mentioned is simple and can likely still be found. Yes I owned at least a couple that I daily drove for a short period. I did enjoy my 88? Turbo Wagon with the fivespeed single range. It was fun but just a few pages in my book. Challenging ourselves with projects can be great. But as mentioned the effort and cost needs to be weighed out. Dinosaur says ride it out stock. It won’t be around too much longer. Just ask the many of us previous owners. Good luck. I feel you’re going to stick with your plan somewhat and get that latest tech adapted. If any success please boast and enjoy the moment. Cheers !

    Check my pics in my Craigslist posting and see if you agree with my Jack stand placement and if not please indicate the proper spots to use. Thanks very much. Every new generation seems to be more and more tricky in this regard. https://newyork.craigslist.org/fct/pts/d/bridgeport-subaru-legacy-wagon-parts/7368346264.html

    Good info, of course from you. I’m considering acquiring some small lot of engines, a transmission, and rear subframe and diff, etc for cheap. Just a side thing I really don’t need and am probably wasting time on but I’ll have a better, shelf stock for my ongoing projects I foresee. Mostly based around the early 2.2 As for this current swap I’m just a bit slow from being pulled in various directions. But I passed a little time there tonight mostly bone picking. Going forward my plan is to keep myself and daughter in 2000-2004 era cars. But we also still retain our beloved 1994 Outdoor Sports edition Legacy wagon. Anyways ..... I like my old stuff. Will take pics of the underside like I should have tonight. This car is pretty sweet for up here. A little exploration while under the car removing the rear bumper and I see the place the drains from the moonroof(s) empty out. Very cute. Ok happy reading all and I’ll have better , way more cool stuff for ya really soon.

    Thought about all that, thanks guys. And gals. Enjoying life. Be back soon.

    Small step forward but that’s life lately. Engine out. Didn’t see that one nut hiding. Once done she split like a dream. Minimal effort with flat blades and chisel. Boring stuff I know. But man this sucks that they didn’t put a plug where that EGR apparently needs to sit. So I’ll be scoring that tap with at least one drill. I’m sure I have plenty to use for a pilot drill. GD if you’re checking in I’m guessing a good prick punch to start a healthy center ? And all drills will have tape on them as deep as the fitting it with maybe a 1/16” ease.

    Not sure this helps but I have a 1982 parts catalog and I can see that the DL 4WD wagon does have some particular part numbers. Might need a rest first but I’ll post what I can for pics of components and whatever related harness , etc that I can.

    Thanks again ! We’ll see what today brings later on.

    Good call. Indeed I did replace the same tube in my 2.2 just a couple years ago it seems but probably 5+ lol Slow day. Not much time today either but I do have the exhaust out of the way , jack under tranny , all set but having trouble splitting them apart. Done plenty of EA’s and an EJ22 or so but this one seems awful sticky. How many nuts or bolts are there into the bell housing ? I see one more way the heck at the bottom. I think I’ve already removed 6 or so. I’m going to bail out at this point and get more rest etc. Have it all settled back down. Will conquer this tomorrow. Next question on the horizon is do you folks use anything special for hanging these on a common engine stand ? I recall the 2.2 needing long bolts and I think I used a bunch of washers as spacers. Yeah it’s a hack affair sometimes. Thanks.

    Haven’t found a good manual for you yet.

    But that’s an out of pocket expense. Don’t get me wrong , if you really want it on the road right you spend the money. But limping it along stock-ish on a budget ain’t so uncool. I’m a dinosaur who drives mechanical dinosaurs so pardon that perspective.

    Man that Allen head plug sits right above the port I’ll be making. Why couldn’t it be that easy ? LOL faaaack ! Closer now. Took the intake off today , have it all free and the crane/hoist over it with a spreader bar ready to lift. I’ll have a buddy with me or my daughter and then proceed.

    They put one in the transmission too. I guess I’ll try it for my oil pan but heard mentions of those being slow to drain. OK I should review the product online instead of bothering you guys but you love this stuff anyways.

    My local guy Subafreak said the exhaust is the same from 2000-02 and 2003-04. Apparently regardless of being EGR or non EGR. * GD confirm that ?
  21. moosens
    CTS , find a genuine one if you can. If you haven’t needed one yet chances are good you will if you keep the EA82T Had the whole set of hoses at one time but no longer do. That foil wrapped one at the turbo , that’s one that’ll cause issues. All those pre-formed hoses, find what you can. And lots of archived info on intercoolers. Closed air system, keep it tight.

    In the old days I bent that EGR pipe with pliers and squeezed it down well enough that it didn’t wheeze. Little duct tape over the end for added security. My current situation will happen soon but it’s not so critical because for once in the past 25 years or so I have a garage to work out of with no need to rush out. Haven’t yet scored my M20x1.5 tap and drill set just yet but hoping to at least have the engine out later today or tomorrow. Pardon my personal news within this thread please.
  23. moosens
    Slow process in mine. But I’ll update my post as things happen. Old days you’d just make a metal plate and cover that hole. That was EA82.

    Nothing like DIY I know but just want to suggest SJR lift kits. He’s a long time one of us and dedicated to his craft. You won’t find a legitimate complaint about Scott or his SJR products.

    Thanks , I’ll give it some consideration.
