Yeah, the biggest plus on the EG33 in my XT6 is INSTANT torque, from idle up...no waiting for boost to build, but throw you back in the seat torque:burnout: ....plus I always like doing things that hadn't been done:grin:

Sounds like you might have a leaking vacuum hose somewhere, might check them all for cracks...also make sure all the hoses on the intake tube are hooked up well, and the PCV system. Check all these before adjusting the TPSS... And you could always throw a set of duel port EJ18 heads on it to bump the compression up some, and get it back to about the same HP as the old 2.5....but might need to run Preimeum fuel in it...

Having owned several SVX's, and having done the first 5 speed swap into one, I can say they are great cars, but do have their week points. Trouble areas are: Transmisions / front diffs rear wheel bearings rotors tend to warp if your a heavy braker. The tranny / front diff issues can be greatly reduced by installing a 4.44 Legacy tranny and matching diff, plus it make it much better in the take off department (stock they run 3.54 gears) I like the 5 speed swap myself....but a 4.44 auto makes it a really fun car too. The window in a window is more of a stlying exercise, but does let you roll the windows down without messing up your dates hair;) I Love my SVX, but I love my XT6 too..... The XT6 is better for in town driving, and hte SVX is great on the highway...

Yeah the 8 bolt bell housing will bolt up to the 4 bolt EJ stuff.... Here is a link to a guy that put a EZ into his Rally Impreza Coupe. http://www.linaracing.com/impreza-h6-conversion-faq.php The biggest down side to using a EZ30 for me is the cost, as they bring big money from the wreckers.... I had originally planned on using the EZ30 in FrankenWedge, but went with the EG33 due to the availability and price.

Looks better than the black plastic one....and 230+ hp in a XT rates STi to me.....plus it scares the Honda owners:grin:

I put a EG33 into my 1989 XT6...I call it "FrankenWedge" Puts a smile on my face every time I drive it....

Actually, 88 here in the US, in the 88 XT6

In the Us 4.44's were in: Auto: Legacy GT 96-04 Legacy Outback Impreza RS Manual: Forester Turbo Baja Turbo Legact Turbo 05-up As best as I have found...

I usually do the same thing.. I'm sure the switch is to "set" the cruise when you push it down, but the car will slow a couple of miles an hour before it engages, so I alway push it down (to set it) then hold it "up" (Increase Speed) untill it is "cruising" at the speed I want. Either way, I'm just glad it's now working:headbang:

Well, just for a follow up, it's working now.... I noticed my horn wasn't working either, pulled the airbag back off, and the cruise/horn connector had come un-done, so I had either not got it seated all the way...(or I forgot to plug it in:banghead: ).... Anyway, it's working again..... thanks to all who contributed thier ideals.... Huck Creator of "FrankenWedge"

I'll try that when I go out to lunch....

Still haven't figure this out, but all the wiring seems to be fine.... The actuator under the hood, came off a 96-2.2, could that be an issue? All the other parts came off a 95...

I hate wiring, which is why I've been looking at every other possibility first:-\ ...but it's looking like I'm going to have to check the wires....maybe this weekend...

Another good ideal, but I've checked that. I might add that this Brighton only has 56k on it, so it has sat a lot, but is in really good shape (will probably be for sale in the spring)....quit as a mouse....sure wish I could get this cruise control working... I may start swapping parts off my daughter's onto it, as I know hers works, but she is only here part time...

Not a dumb question at all....I honestly haven't checked the taillights, but I can see the third brake light in the back deck light up when I hit the brakes, so that should omit the brake light fuse...

AVK, Good point....but not applicable here, since the donars, and the donee are 95's:confused: the module came out of a 95 1.8 manual tranny car, and is going into a 95 1.8 manual tranny car.... The Actuator came out of a 95 2.2 auto Impreza.... I can still swap out the auto actuator with the one out of the manual car, but would require chasing down the owner of the car I put it in a few months ago, who lives about 2 1/2 hours from me...so that is a last resort And Matt, I did check the fuse box, it had one in the "Cruise" slot, but I installed one in each of the 3 "empty" slots just to see if that fixed it...it didn't:(

Thanks Matt, both times I had done it before it had worked for me too.... But not on this one. I do have both clutch position switches installed.... Everything that is on the PDF file Josh posted i have installed, but it doesn't work. The actuator under the hood came off a automatic car, but I'm pretty sure that part is the same on a auto and a manual... I re-checked my clutch/brake switches, and they are adjusted properly... Was hoping for a simple fix, looks like it'll be a bit more of a pain to figure out...

Thanks Josh, I had installed a new in the box kit into our old OBS when we had it, so I was pretty sure I had everything, and also installed used pieces into the Impreza I fixed up for my oldest daughter and it worked fine.... But it doesn't work in this Brighton.:-\ I'll dig into it a little more, and let you know if I find out anything new... (Thanks for the guide, I'll keep it this time) Huck Creator of "FrankenWedge"

I've been fixing up a 95 Impreza Brighton coupe AWD 5 speed I have a Impreza "L" parts car and have been installing some of the "L" equipment onto it. But I'm having trouble with the cruise control. What I have installed for the cruise control. 1. vacuum diaphram with cable to throttle body and vacuum hose 2. Dash switch 3. Steering Wheel Switch 4. MT Cruise control module 5. Clutch position switch 6. Changed out the brake position switch for the cruise brake position switch. All the wiring was present in the car, and the dash switch lights up when pressed, but the cruise doesn't work... What am I forgetting? Is there a dedicated relay for the cruise control? If so, where is it located? Thanks for any help you can give.... Huck Creator of "FrankenWedge"

Thanks Matt, That’s probably what I’ll do, and hope it loosens up some with some use. The tranny is tight, and shifts great, and is a low mileage unit so I hate to replace it. So... I'll drive it till it frees up, or breaks….if it breaks I’ll replace it then. Ought to go like a tank in the snow like this.. Thanks for the schooling on the Viscous Coupling, always things to learn…

Hey Gary, The car was sitting due to a light hit in the front, which cracked the radiator, and broke a headlight. I swapped in a good radiator, and fired it up and drove it home. I have checked the Dia of the wheels, and even swapped on another set of wheels (a set of WRX rims) but didn't think to check the fronts while it was lifted, but did check the rears, which turn fine... I plan on changing the gear oil, but would like to get it un-bound first, as I'm sure it'll cause excessive wear untill it's all smoothed out, so fresh lube now will just get ruined....or at least as I see it...

Thanks for the link Carl, But just makeing a "Mock" RS Daily Driver, all stock drivetrain... It'll look fast:cool: ....and get good milage....I'll save my mods for FrankenWedge, my EG33 powered XT6:grin:

Already done that;) It is...? There is only one place to drain, and one place to fill the manual tranny, so where does the viscous coupler get it's lubrication from? Got a exploaded view anywhere...? Thanks for the help

I'll give that a try, as it is, I'm afraid something is going to snap, as it binds pretty badly....I guess it'll either free it up, or break something:grin: Once I get it cleared up. I plan on changing the gear oil in the tranny...

It's a Manual transmission, not a auto....no internal clutches....
