gook info, thanks!
It came out of an auto car so I'll have to plug the egr port and swap the intake/harness.
will the single port exhaust y-pipe match up to the rest of my existing exhaust?

My 1990 legacy ej22 has suffered a blown head gasket at 350k miles. I have a later (1996?) ej22 motor in the garage. I can see they are not identical and am wondering what is needed to swap motors. This is a back up car for me and I'd like to do the swap for as cheaply as possible.
Thanks for your help!

on my way home from school today I tried pushing the shifter as far to the left as I could repeatedly and then tried pulling it down into second and it worked! 3rd gear no longer grinds either.
But, by the time I got home it was grinding going into 2nd. Is there a way to adjust the linkage? When I was inspecting it yesterday I saw it was a single rod that rotates for the left right motion at the stick and goes forward and back for the same direction at the stick.
-
Hey guys, hopefully you can point me in the right direction. My car is a 1990 Legacy wagon with 5mt
I pulled into a parking lot yesterday and when I tried to downshift into 2nd, it wasn't there. There is no grinding, or noises of any kind. It's like 2nd gear just isn't an option in the shift pattern anymore.
Is this a shifter or transmission problem?

this is with an outback lift, roof rack and the tallest/widest tires I can fit under the car. My GPS says my Odometer is pretty accurate now that I have big tires on it. It was probably off by 10% with the older stock sized tires.With highway driving I get 21-23 mpg, I think I got 24 one time and I calculate my MPG EVERY TANK because I don't trust the gas gauge. With 4.11 gears you aren't going to get great mileage. -

wow, those cars look great.

hers my 91' legacy wagon. awd, 5-speed, 4.11 gears, just turned 100k.
I'm running those same wheels. Looks great!

You also have to take the axle type into consideration. EA's and first gen legacys have female splines on the CV cups that go onto axle stubs sticking out of the diff.
Second gen legacys and newer have male splines on the axle that plug into the side of the diff. You can swap CV cups on to different axles to remedy that, but it's hit and miss on what fits.
The VLSD's are not very strong to start with, and it takes heat to warm them up and get them to lock up, so you have to spin a wheel for a bit before it really starts acting like a LSD. The clutch type ones are instant, and the harder you launch, the harder the clutches lock the wheels together.
can the differential and axles be swapped as a unit?
Specifically, can I remove my 1990 legacy open diff and axles (stub on diff) and replace it with an LSD diff and axles (stub on axle) from an RS?
Is there an issue with the RS axles in my legacy?

I have a 1990 legacy that I'm building a 2.2/2.5 Frankenstein motor for.
I believe my stock exhaust manifold/y pipe won't bolt up to the newer single port 2.2 heads I'll be using. Is this correct?
Will a newer 2.2 single port exhaust manifold bolt up to the rest of my exhaust?

Gary-
You mention swapping phase I and phase II ej 25 blocks- I'm asking about using '99 phase II ej 2.2 heads on a phase I ej 25 block. Do you know if that'll work? I'm just worried about coolant passages lining up properly, bore sizes, etc.
I'd definitely inspect the tensioner and consider piston slap if I had the car to inspect- but I don't, so I'm just running though the worst case scenario (rod knock, needs a block) to see if I'm even interested in looking at the car.

it'll bolt together, it's called a Frankenstein motor. It's pretty well documented on this site and others. It raises compression to give you pretty good low end grunt. A lot of people install re-ground delta cams at the same time to get even more power.

I really don't know which axles will fit what. I know there are some that stick into the diff, others have stubs in the diff that the axle slides onto, but I don't know which years or cars had which setup. I do know that you can not swap stubs from one type to the other because of differences inside the diffs. So you have to get axles that fit the diff, or at least the inner cups. 93-04/05ish? Impreza axles SHOULD be the same as 2nd gen Legacy (95-99) axles, or at least have the same spline on the hub end.
I have the axles that match the rearend. I guess the question is about hub spline and axle length.

I would have figured you guys would know this answer to this. I guess I'll try the swap and let you guys know.

thanks guys, so should the RS lsd and axles bolt in to my legacy?
-
So I've searched and I'm sure the answer is out there but I can't find it.
I have a 1990 Legacy with an open 4.11 differential.
Today I picked up a LSD from a 2001 5 speed RS. I believe that makes this rear end a 4.11 VLSD. It has male axle stubs, so I picked those up too.
- I've read that the VLSD does not need any additive to the rear gear oil. it this correct?
- Will these RS rear axles bolt into my Legacy?
- What should I know before swapping in this differential and axles?

Try Forester or Outback trailing arm brackets before you cut the quarters. They will center the wheel in the wheel well so it doesn't rub the front.
I haven't heard that before. thanks for the tip!
is that bracket on the axle side or the body side of the trailing arm?
-
well, I decided those new parts looked lonely.... and I need new brakes. Yesterday, the 11.5" WRX fronts and the 11.4" H6 rears came in.

the subaru is dirty and the jeep is clean.
Why compare who can crawl better? Crawling is dumb and rally is awesome.

reporting it stolen will keep the car from being scrapped. My guess is that it's already been sent to a junk yard or is someone's parts car.

If you can get the engine to fire,or maybe even run, the situation will clear it self up pretty quick.
Probably, not always. Rings can be stubborn sometimes.
Now, check for spark and spray some starting fluid (not at the same time) and let us know how it turns out!
-
Checking for fuel is easier than pulling a line. Just spray some starting fluid down the throttle body. If it wants to start on ether then you have a fuel problem.
-
it takes 4 things to make a car run; spark, fuel, compression, and timing. Check one at a time. With that low of miles and sitting that long I'd look at clogged fuel lines/bad fuel and possibly stuck rings (low compression).

I ran out to the garage and looked at the exhaust ports. It's dual port. Maybe I have the year wrong?
It came out of a second gen legacy auto. The wiring harness connector on the passenger rear side of the motor is completely different than what is in my car. So I thought that is was an OBD2 car. Any ideas what I'm looking at? I can post pics if it will help
I guess the good news is that I'll should only have to swap the intake manifold/harness.
