95legwagon

can i run ej251 (01 forester) heads on my phase 1 ej22e IF i run the 251 intake manifold and engine managment? would cr drop? would the piston kiss the valves? im turboing my 95 legacy ej22 and im stuck on this after searching all over google to no avail.

/\ This..... couldnt have explained it better myself

i believe its on the back of the block..... ive read that it looks like either a big bolt or big allen head. **dont quote me on that as i dont know for sure** there is one on the top of the block pass side towards the back but is hard to get to. there is like 4 or 5 of them around the block

the windshield will be the only thing to crack.....other than that, youll break the hatch hinges or wear the hatch latch til it breaks im BIG into car audio and have yet to see a broken back window.....specially in a soob. Plenty of subarus out there with a couple 18"s to like 4-6 12"s or 15"s on gobs of power. i wouldnt worry about it

maybe the coolant system needs to be "burped"?

indeed it is but it is also more money than i spent lol i got this alt free so pretty much i just had to buy bolts and lock washers..... but these alts can be had used for pretty cheap from the right junkyard.... but you are 100% correct. just thought id share what ive found and the reason im doing it this way is to have an alt for engine and stock accessories and the other 140a alt for my stereo hobby.... but could be used for other things too like a TON of lights or maybe other neat electrical hogs

it was in fact pin 81 for at/mt id pin. and make sure you wire up the neutral switch otherwise your car will run like crap and throw a cel

so i have a 140 amp internally regulated alt. 14 volt set point from a 2002-03 volvo s60. and guess what??? it totally lines up with the bottom a/c brackets and the pulley matches up too.... oh yea!!! this i also a 95 ej22. i have to still switch out the clutched pulley as it is clutched the wrong way ( yes this alt will charge if spun backwards) and maybe find a way to attach the top mounting ear to the top of the bracket..... its a pain in the rump roast to mount to the A/C bracket but would be worth if if your didnt want a/c and wanted a greater amp alt. im using the stock alt ( 85 amp) for running the engine and am gunna use the 140 amp alt for my accessory's ( lights, amps, stereo in general) i will have them on separate charging circuits..... i also have a battery bank in the back of the car that this other alt will charge.... they will use a common ground though. thought i would share this with the community as a possible alt upgrade -Jarrid

lol yea we have a couple older soobs here like ours one came in a few months back with piston slap but the car was almost immaculate! also a 97 leg wagon gt a couple outbacks -late 90's a new ( 07 ) legacy theres even an old subaru rim sittin around somewhere..... maybe for a brat? yea you should stop by or you could go to http://www.southwindsorauto.com and search our inventory before you call or stop by..... youll see my legacy as soon as you pull in lol

i have always wanted to see what my soob would be like with a huge lift and an sti swap...... you beat me to it and boy oh boy does that look fun!!!!! nice job!

that looks just like mine...... except i dont have a hillholder like you....or that spring.... but mine was a 5 speed swap lol. if the clutch doesnt engage when the pedal is to the floor you have to tighten the nuts to adjust the cable tighter on the clutch fork....i did mine by hand tightening them to the fork and snugging them....it worked for me. then i just adjusted to my own comfort - so my clutch engages closer to the floor than other cars.... i also have a bahnhof stage 1 clutch so its a lil different

dude....awesome. im from west hartford and i grew up in manchester.... in fact i work in east windsor @ south windsor auto parts! nice to see another person from ct here. nice build and i love the look of your car i have a 95 legacy wagon in which i am going to turbo at some point.... i have 2 turbos sitting around waiting to be rebuilt lol we have subaru parts at my job so in case your looking for something let me know

/\ whats the point of posting that pic lol and the crank pulley should be the same between the two cars.... and i would assume from the soob engines i have seen its like everything else on these cars....pretty much the same.....

with the driveshaft out the car should move..... if its an auto put in the 2wd fuse......if its 5 speed itll move....but it will put wear and tear on the front diff. usually to get the driveshaft out you hafta remove the exhaust and the heatshield.... my 95 legacy its like that at least ( and ive had the driveshaft out WAYYYYY too many times now lol) although you dont have enough jackstands you could alternatively jack up each side and place cinder blocks under the tires..... wouldnt recommend it BUT i would do it if i was in a pinch..... just make sure they are solid cinderblocks.... not the hollow ones

the new cable SHOULD come with all new nuts and stuff on the new one.... id ask a stealership to be sure....
