Where did you get that front bumper?
Edit: i found out where. so never mind! great fxt!

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/otc-7394 i bought this one and it works great, id recommend this over the one you are looking at simply because you can put it on any pattern of hubs. it took me maybe 5 min to get a hub outta a car that had a front impact so parts were somewhat bent, but worked great and all i needed was a hammer.

Ok so i dont know if this has been covered... but
EJ22t Swap... do you have to swap the legacy crossmember? YES, or NO?
also do i have to swap the crossmember to be able to run the LEGACY knuckles?
I really need to know ASAP!!!
-
how long of a cable do you need?
-i can measure my rx cable and my old xt6 cable
-
Depends on cash flow, a good running ea82t could be had pretty cheap.(around here anyways.)
Or you could find a N/A block and make it turbo. it would also raise the compression ratio.
rebuilding would work too but it might start costing more than a donor engine.
If you have some money to kick around then obviously get the ej22t.:-p
that thing would be "rally" fast.
Awesome car btw!
I'm not looking into just swapping engines (ea82t). Or building a N/A block to become turbo (too much work and non reliable). If I stuck with the ea82t, it would be rebuilt.
I'm even considering buying another 22t (keeping the one for the brat on the side). And rebuilding that, then swapping it in...
I don't want the hassle of having a engine fail on me, if I don't know the history on it... Even tho it's more money up front it could save me later.
Thanks! I love it, still got a couple things I wanna do after the engine deal tho!
-
So the issue I'm running into, is should I rebuild the 1.8? (Needs new rings, burns oil). Or should I try to get a 22t...?
-
Well done Sir!!!
I have acquired every seal/gasket/bearing I can find to rebuild my EA71 and 4-speed trans yet I still want to do this.
But I bought yet another Subaru last month a 2005 Legacy GT Wagon Manual. So now I am headfirst into that one, lol.
I digress. Can't wait to see what you do to the Brat.
Nice. I'm hopefully going to move my dads trans am, so I can have a garage, engine hoist, and concrete to work on it but its gonna get done since I have all the parts now.

What gauge pods do you have on the A-pillar??
Thnx, Spencer
I have my boost (auto meter), then a volt gauge (equious).
-
okay can someone Please help me on this...
is the DIGI dash spedo CABLE different then a analog spedo CABLE????
i have the analog one in... and it fluctuates ALOT where as my push button tranny didn't....
-
Yep! 5 speed and 2.2t. And all suspension stuff
-
well this is being delivered to me tomorrow!!! it has little over200k. but its a 5 speed!!
-
The 5 speeds are rare, but swapping is do-able and not too challenging. I'm pretty sure the trans (turbo manual and auto) have the same gearing as the N/A but they are able to hold more power.
-
My brother had one just like that, and I re-painted it white.. except his was manual 5-speed.
I actually didn't know they made that 1st gen legacy sedan turbo available with both automatic and manual..
They made them mostly autos.
-
wellp! i got me some jump seats!!! pics soon! i just need $500 and i will have a full turbo legacy parts car! (with engine and tranny!)
-
Well i got it in, working, Reverse lights work, im just trying to figure out the diff lock switch... it has 6 prongs, and i looked at my rx parts car and the plug is hard wired into the harness....
would it be possible to use a different switch (like a push button one) or a rocker switch instead, since thats 3 wires ?
also is there a difference between the RX speedo cable (on analog gauges) VS a push button speedo cable for a DIDGI dash???
my speedo is off a couple mph for some reason, and it seems to fluctuate a lot more then before...
-
I have a dashmat brand one in my GL. Got it from JCWhitney great fit, and matches the interior very well.
i have one in my xt6, gl, 97 subi, honda accord (almost all our vehicles) they are great! get one from them pretty sure its only like $40ish
-
rear mount turbo it! basically put the turbo at the end of the exhaust and run your piping from there. you need a high temp oil pump but thats about it. and with the tight spaces in that engine bay it seems like the only answer..
heres a how to http://www.junkyardturbos.com/Rear-Mount-Turbo.php
i do like that idea, but this is what i am thinking... (gave me the idea for the turbo instead of supercharger)
i dont want the turbo on the bottom cuz of snow... :/
-
All this work on the XT6 but what about the Brat? lol
Reason being, i need a back up car while the gl10 keeps buring as much oil as it does. brat will be worked on... just more into fixing running cars... but ive been looking at buying this right now... http://denver.craigslist.org/pts/3343589578.html
-
Alight well I really haven't worked on this... Got to busy with buying a jeep and then having the xt6 have a full clutch failure. Then a transmission swap on my gl10.
I need a better welder for this, because the wire feed just isn't working to well...
-
A Turbo is gonna be more easy. But a Super charger is cool!
yeah i wanna supercharge it, but i really dont wanna hack the hood etc. it needs to be stealth unless i can get my hands on a oem svx supercharger intake...
turbo im going to end up porting the valves
-
Its back on the road!
So my next project on this is either super charger or Custom turbo-ing it
im leaning more towards a turbo... any ideas?

Oh yes it does! And OCD. That IS a wagon mafia sticker ha.
I also might have a line on a Sti with a blown block. Means I might get a 6 speed and seats!
