Wheel Weight alloy vs steel

Got a problem here.... different axels - diffs & LSD
Hey Guys, Since I have an LSD Diff from an RX and I want to put it in my Legacy instead having open diff, anyway I am pretty sure someone here can help me to answer this... Look at this picture below - The problem I have is, I have male - male axels and the diff is female instert into the diff, and the LSD Diff has male shafts (opposite to the one I have on my Legacy) and I can't use the drive shafts because of different connections. Theory: If i got the rear hub from early legacy that has male splines/shafts on it ready for female drive shafts then the diff is no problem to be installed? Or is it possible to change the inside diff for male drive shafts on the LSD? Cheers AP

EJ18 heads on to an EJ22? Anyone done it?
AlpineRaven replied to Matty B's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI've been asking SAME question for long time, no one seems to know as far I know, I don't wanna gamble if it doesn't work. I wanted to get EJ18 SOHC and fit it on EJ22 for increase of compression, won't be much but noticeable in theory. Cheers AP

RADIO MEMORY & CD-PLAYER FAILURE
AlpineRaven replied to jan97sub's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXmmmm you're not the only boat there, I have the same problem with this Clarion PF1519A Radio, it does reset if the ignition is off over night, radio resets itself, looses clock memory, stations etc. I do not have CD player, I sourced another radio its also Clarion but from earlier model, doesn't loose memory. Its got nothing to do with the car, I believe its the radio itself that has some sort of backup memory to preserve the memory contents that is failing. Cheers AP

LSD swap question
This is a picture of two diffs, left side one is open diff - 3.7:1 from L series 4WD, and right side is from an Legacy (Liberty), its an LSD diff 3.9:1. I have to change from 3.9:1 to 3.7:1 to suit my Liberty. Can you tell me what kind of LSD is it? is it Clutch Pack or Viscous LSD? As far I know, I bought this from a mate of mine, he said it was from RX Leone? Before I take apart/put together what do I need to do for service with that LSD? Is there any special tools that require taking the diff apart (I'm aware about the torx tool, gonna get one today) and I have the CV joints seals for the spines. What else? What kind of oil should I use (please, good recommendations), what oil rating shall I use/LSD oil?? Cheers & thanks AP

LSD swap question
Here is the picture of the Torx screw that needs to come out from the sub axel. By the way, Later models of Diffs ie. 1990 Legacy/WRX etc, do they require special tool? Because there isn't any torx screw there from what I can see. Cheers AP

Change Cruise Control to ALWAYS ON?
AlpineRaven replied to greenmachine's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAnother thing I've been thinking hard about "How to make the cruise control come on every time I start my Liberty" Only one theory It came in my mind is, when you turn the key to Start position to startup the engine, was thinking about getting a wire from there to Cruise Control switch (by pass the wires) which will switch the relay to turn on CC? Wouldn't it work? I have the same problem here, I drive on highway everyday to work. And I cannot live without CC! Cheers AP

EJ20 & EJ22 Heads.
Hey guys.... this is bugging me as no one can tell me... Hoping you guys would tell me! In theory, is that EJ20 & EJ22 Heads has different compression ratios, what happens If I source an EJ20 heads and install on EJ22 engine, would I get increased compression & power hence saving fuel?? EJ20 Heads are 9.7:1 Compression whereabouts EJ22 is 9.5:1 Compression but 10 kw difference. Has anyone here done that kind of project? Are there any mods required (ie. ECM etc) & any side effects? Thank you in advance. Cheers AP

A few questions on EA to EJ
I think I may be wrong with this... I remember someone telling me that there are 8 bolts on the gearbox on EJ Series therefor can't be fitted on EA engine. The EJ Gearbox is different length (I think its longer) than EA Series. Exhaust - can't help but Im sure it'll fit. CVs - not sure.. Drive Tran - will need custom work. Cheers AP

What do you 2wders get for mpg??
AlpineRaven replied to derekd's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX\With my 94 Liberty, I can get between 24-26/27 MPG for average city & highway Driving. IF i drove on full tank on full hwy it'll be around 26 - 29mpg. If you use correct oils, tyre pressure, minimise wind drag, take your time, don't overtake too many cars unless they're driving too slow and don't be heavy foot then you would be able to gain that kind of mpg. EDIT: - Mine is 5MT AWD model Cheers AP

oil in coolant?
AlpineRaven replied to dklein90's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThese things happen mate. Subaru & Camry are reliable... I sold my SV21 Camry wagon at 360,000 kms on the clock before got my Liberty. - Hopes that Liberty will last as well! heh Cheers AP

oil in coolant?
AlpineRaven replied to dklein90's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI understand the situation you're in, Keep eye on oil (cooling system is ok bec oil keeps it cool but ensure that its not thicking up) but if you have water in oil, its a death thing! Because water doesn't lube the cams, rockers crank etc therefore it'll seize the engine, I know someone who didn't (Drives Ford) know had blown HG been driving till engine seized up. If the oil cup becomes chocolate whiteish colour, STOP driving! And do the HG. Can't be too expensive to get HH and do it yourself with a mate if you are unsure.. Cheers AP
