you make some good points. now all i have to do is catch up form my latest mod. and start looking for a JDM 6sp for my wagon. if no one else is willing to try it. my wagon may have to be the test rat. -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

i bought them from http://www.worldoneperformance.com/ (the store not online) for abut $200 under MSRP. -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdav.com

not likely. unless you have an XT6, Impreza or legacy. i have the front knuckles from a 96 WRX and they bolted right up... -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

yeah p0420 is bad main cat... P0420 CAT CAT Efficiency Below Threshold P0440 EVAP EVAP Emission Control System -=Suberdave=- www.suberdave.com

EDFC (Electronic Damping Force Controller) makes it possible for the driver to control the damping force by controlling a motor installed in the shock absorber while being seated in the driver's seat. Since the damping force can be manually controlled with ease to meet different situations, the driver can enjoy variations in the suspension setting. -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

i have been looking into the same thing. but i am to the point that i need to take some dimensions. i dont know if the trans tunel in the RX would be large enough for the 6sp. it is much larger than the 5sp. also you would not be able to use an adapter from an EA motor to an EJtype trans. you would have to get rid of a 1/2 inch. whereas when you do an EJ engine and an EA trans you have to add a 1/2 inch

well i bit the bullet and droped some CA$H!!! on a full Tein Flex system with EDFC. although they ordered me the wrong EDFC so it is not installed yet. here is what i have done so far. here is the strut tower, i had to cut the holes different. the legacy top hats had the studs out about 1/2 inch futher apart then i welded in some large washers. fronts installed... fit right onto the 96 WRX front knuckle i am using now for the rears. i had to modify the tops so they would bolt up in place of the GL struts. i also had to move them down like the BYB lift kit dose, so i could fit the EDFC motor on top of them. (this can be seen in the final install pic). i used a bushing to go from the Legacy 14mm hole down to the GL 12mm hole. final rear install pic i have not gotten to drive it much, do to the fact that it was dark when i got done and time to go inside. but when i drove it around the block. it seems a little stiff. but i will see. -=Suberdave=- www.suberdave.com

the 31-34 2.2l is non OBDII and non interferance. so you wont have any check engine lights on (if you chose to hook the light up). and way less wiring... -=Suberdave=- www.suberdave.com

you have mail -=Suberdave=- www.suberdave.com

search my name or go to my websight www.suberdave.com/subaru i have done 2 now and Dr.RX has also done one into an EA-82 car. -=Suberdave=- www.suberdave.com

if you are close and dont mind looking for a few peices that thay may not come with. i would say thats an awesome deal. if i do another one i may go this route if i cant find another clip... -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

i have bought both localy payed around $2500 but easily sold over $500 such as alum. lower control arms rear disk brakes, front bumper cover, alum. hood, turbo cross member, ect... one i bought off the bay of E. just happeded to be 30 mins from my house, and the other from a vender also about 30 mins away. i see them on the net for about that price every once in a while, but would have to pay shipping. i guess im lucky, these two just came along at the right time... -=Suberdave=- www.suberdave.com

yeah that looks like about everything you would need for a swap only thing i can think of that is not shown is rear diff and axels. however i dont know how good of a deal that would be. the mileage is kinda high, and it looks kinda rough. i have done 2 swaps now. but both times i have bought compleat front clips... this is my prefered method, do to the fact that you know you have everything you need. yes i did pay a bit more for them but they had less than 50K miles on them and came with the compleat rear subframe with diff and rear axles. and you get the front susp and brakes that you can put on your GL and have way better brakes. just my $0.02 -=Suberdave=- www.suberdave.com

this may be way off, but pull the dist. cap and make sure the screw did not fall out of the rotor. this has happened to me. kinda felt like the fuel was running out. -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

you should have come. it was awesome. they are planing on doing it again next spring... -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

that looks like it will just slide into place. looks like it has a subaru kit on it already. -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

good luck finding one in a junk yard. keep your eye out on the for sale forum. they pop up now and again. seem that the going price now is $150-$200, and as they get more rare that price will keep going up... -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

here is a pic of my wagon with the front air dam and the side skirts. -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com

i have done a few small things like new up pipe, 3" bellmouth Downpipe, and full 3" exhaust, no cats. i have installed a TurboXS MBC ay stock boost. O-Yeah i also have a huge tach. and thats about it... and i dont know if it makes a differance but i have 4.111:1 trany insted of their 3.9:1 trany. according to this sight http://www.catherineandken.co.uk/sti my car is a V-limited WRX. (EJ20G with the same trany # as the 555 car and V2 STI.) now what dose that mean? i have no idea. but maybe i have a little more HP. or maybe the engine on www.funonwheels.net was from a WRX wagon witch only had 240HP insted of 260 or 275. -=Suberdave=- www.suberdave.com

yes!!!

well i did it. took the wagon to KAS on their dyno day and put down some #'s. lots of people were not happy with their #'s thought they should be a bit higher, but O-well. now that i have had it on a dyno i can say that i have more power than a 2006 WRX. this is a shot of the board. this is a 2006 WRX, i did not see it run so i dont know if it was stock or not. 180.2HP here we have a 2002 WRX, again i did not see it run but was told by more than one person that the owner clamed to be running Stage II COBB kit 194.7HP and my numbers came back at: 201.8HP @ 6043RPM 204.2TQ @ 4885RPM here is my chart: you can see by the AFR #'s that my IC was a bit heat soked. time for a front mount... i was the only non STI subaru to put down more than 200HP, not by much but i did do it, and that was my goal. -=Suberdave-= www.suberdave.com

ok time for some questions so we can get to the bottom of this. first off what happened when the car stoped running? were you driveing it? did you park it for the night then it didnt start in the morning? did you just install something and now it wont start? if you truly do have fuel, fire and compression you should have a running engine. i guess the only other thing you need is air. have you tryed pushing the acc pedal down a little. maybe the IAC is stuck shut... double check fuel... just because the fuel pump runns dose not mean you have fuel. you could try just a small shot of starting fluid in the T/B. double check spark... make sure its blue not red or orange. a week spark will not do the trick. and use a compression gauge to check compression. just a few things to try. start with the basics. -=Suberdave=- www.suberdave.com

i made it out to KAS with my EJ20G swaped 88 GL10, i was the only non STI subaru to put down 200+ HP finale #'s 201.8 HP @ 6043RPM / 93MPH 204.2 TQ @ 4885 RPM / 75.9MPH -=Suberdave=- www.suberdave.com

wont fit. i tryed it with a chevy rim. and i think the ford patern is the same... -=Suberdave=- www.suberdave.com
