Oil stop leak?
EVOthis replied to deks69's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
what year is the car? mileage?...did your mechanic check the seperator plate on the back of the engine....the plastic ones are prone to leaking... -
well check under your trunk liner first...easier than removing rear seat....yeah i hear you about the 3 relays up in the drivers side foot well...what i dont understand is why did subaru decide to put 3 out of the 4 cooling fan relays in the engine fuse box and stick one up inside the car next to the main relay and fuel pump relay...
-
i had a problem similar to this in the trans on my 96 legacy....if i were you i would prob. just go ahead and replace the trans with a good used one...at the mileage your questioning the longevitity of your center diff. also (unless you have recently replaced that)....i ended up losing 4th gear.....just a suggestion....i didnt really feel like splitting the case halves and trying to find out what was wrong...
-
i chased something similar a little while ago on my 96 Leg. EJ22 and i turned out the connectors for the fuel injectors were swapped so obviously it was injecting fuel at the wrong time....worth a quick check....as for the plugs and wires im assuming you you used OEM?....to check for the vacuum leaks did you do a vacuum test?...if not i would do a vaccum test and see what you get.....

WHY??? we could have just taken a torch to the Subies front axles....

i recently did the radiator on my 96' EJ22 and that thing was just as stubborn...so finally i just took it up to like 6k RPMs for a second and let off...and said good bye to the air bubble....sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt....also im not sure what year this car was but the newer ones like 05+ have the heater core higher up in the dash so they love to get air pockets...we usually just raise the front of the vehicle off the ground to make sure it flows through the heater core w/ no air pockets...

automatic, manual? what was happening when you found out you lost your AWD? does it bind when cornering or taking sharp turns? -

wow mid 12's thats pretty quick!.....i just bought my 02 REX from a guy over at clubwrx.net named Rogan......apparently the orig. 2.0 went due to lack of oil psi so he decided to go all out.... Engine: 2.5 STI block and crank 2.0 WRX heads p&p, decked, with a three angle valve job and blended bowls Eagle H beam rods Arias 9.5:1 pistons ARP rod bolts and head studs Cometic head gaksets Hondata intake manifold gaskets TGV deletes Walbro 255 lph pump 800cc Injectors aeromotive red billet fuel rails Precision GT32 Turbo Precision FMIC custom rotated catless up pipe 3" downpipe 3" cold air intake full 3 "turbo back exhaust w/QTP electric cutout to open DP Tial 46mm External Gate Tial 50mm BOV Front mount oil cooler custom oil catch can im sure there is other stuff im forgetting....anyways the car is currently tuned to about 22 PSI and about 400 WHP....i have yet to run the car (or any car for that matter) is there any tips you could give me to help me learn to launch the car? I dont really want to abuse the stock 5 SPD with the orig. stock Clutch to much....also another really loose question...what times should i expect to run with this setup? (driven properly of course)....i just joined clubwrx.net and there are a ton of people on there and so much to learn....just tryin to get your opinion.....thanks and good luck w/ the REX! ( oh and sorry to j2coe for jacking your thread a little)...
