SUBARU3

I bought an after market O2 sensor and I am LOST as to how to wire the plug, (It came without a plug). It has 3 wires..... 2 black and a blue. The original sensor that I removed has a red, white and a black wire. Any ideas which wire goes to what? 91 Legacy Lsi 2.2 FWD Thanks a million! Todd

Cashin in Paul?

The VW beetle rear glass seal fits the Subi wagons. VW beetle for the 70s. Use the CALI version. Todd

Thanks a bunch. Todd

Gosh 5 years later and I still need this answered! LOL Shipping another engine. Antbody with some good low cost, crated shipping options? EA 71 Todd

I don't believe that the Hitachi carbs are trash. Actually, they are pretty robust, easy to rebuild and reliable. The Webers will give you some additional power, but at a cost in fuel consumption and reliability. I have seen many, many people try the Webers on Gen1s and then go back to the Hitachis. I use them on all my vintage Subys. But the choice is yours. They run between $150 and $200 rebuilt, but you can find them cheaper sometimes on eBay. http://www.nationalcarburetors.com/

Dan.....just stick a wire brush in the timing hole with the engine running. You will find the timing marks. They are lines, (long and short), with the markings "0" "5" "10" for degrees. Todd

Well, good luck with it. It's always fun to get a new toy!! Hey, do you own a tow dolly? Todd

The parts alone are worth more than a $100. I saw it too on CL. You better get it! Don't under estimate the demand here in the metroplex. I know of 5 Gen 1 BRAT owners and more that are seeking. Grab it! (Unless is just totally beat)!

The 95 Legacy and Impreza are rock solid cars! Easy timing belt to replace and it's not an expensive job at all. Our dealers do belts here for $299. I personally believe the 95 and 96 Subarus were the BEST years. Non -interference engine, so if you pop the belt, no worries. The engine is fine. Yes, the pulleys will need replaced if they were not done the last time. ASK Kits for the belt are widely available and cheap. Come to Texas and get a beautiful RUST FREE Legacy and drive it home! Don't get so worried about the timing belt on this car! http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/ctd/1312276940.html http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/1311790399.html

Yes as in what years/with or without modifications? Thanks, Todd

Can anyone tell me if a 1999 Forester SOHC engine will fit in a 2002, or 2003 Forester? I believe these were essentially the same engines thru 2003? How late of a Forester, Legacy, Impreza might this engine fit? If not, what might need to be changed out? (wiring harness)? Thanks much! Todd

So sad to see things like that!!! That's a 78. Todd

So has this sold? Where is it? Todd

Your voltage regulator is shot. The power to the fuel pump is supplied thru the VR. Todd

I'm here! Nice meeting you too!! Todd

Very nice Nollie! 4 years took a toll on it! Glad it's getting a new start! Todd

Nollie: Feel free to email me your list of needs as you develop it. I'm cleaning out some and also have some additional sources of Gen 1 parts. Todd Subaru3@aol.com

Also check inside, high up on the inner wheel wells. These rust at the point where the front wheel apron, front cowl panel and the inner wheel well come together. You have pull back the vinyl covering and use a bright flashlight. Check the entire floor of the cowl. Todd

Ken ..what happened to ya?? Todd

I would just locate a newer version distributor. I believe you will run into complications trying to switch internals.

Low Pressure only.....3-5 psi I think Todd

No Gen 1 had power steering. I doubt it to be possible to do without some major work.

Remember that the 1995 and 1996 EJ22s are also excellent engines. No piston slap, no head gasket issues, no rod knock, non-interference. (Same as the 1994 and back EJ22s). The problem was in 1997 they went interference with all engines and was the downhill slide in engine durability for Subaru. Also, the 99 Forester and the 99 Impreza got the new/improved SOHC Phase 2 EJ25 1 year before the Legacy in 2000. Todd

Nice article and to think I helped with that thing!! My name is mentioned in the write-up!! :banana: I'm now famous! LOL Todd
