Kevin,
I know nothing bout IC's, but don't raise it up too close to the hood, leave at least a half inch space to allow the body to flex with out damaging the IC, then put some 3/4" foam tape around the IC frame to seal it to the hood to make sure it gets all the air coming in, and make sure there is somewhere for the air to go out the bottom....

Josh, some dealers here in Denmark recommend a straight 85 og 90 gear oil.
I of course have turned to a new religion and insist on using Castrol TAF-X, which is 75W-90 and really flatters the Subaru gearbox. AKA "Syntorq" stateside.
If you want a good drive: Get your car on a freight ship and we can meet at the Nürburgring "Nordschleife". I am planning to go again next summer :-)
I was in Denmark (Holstebro) back when I was school, on a school trip....you were just a wee pup then....I think it was 1981.....
....man I feel old.....

I just wish there were some decent roads to actually drive the car on...
Josh,
You need to come up to the Dragon Meet next spring, X35 is coming up from Brownsville, TX (right down on the Mexican border) so you could caravan up with him.....
You could definitely give the manual tranny a work out on the Dragon!

The early Legacy's are lighter, and I think my old one felt faster than the 98 Outback we have now...I love the EJ22...but our Outback runs pretty good too.
The 96 OBS we used to have didn't seem to be as quick as the early Legacy's either...might all be in my head:-\

I'm looking at add my second Soobie today. It's a 97 outback wagon with 107k miles. The timing belt was replaced at 105 along with other major maintenance. It's a single owner and he had all work done at local dealer. It's got a new fuel filter, air, fact alternator recalled and replaced, 15k y.old tires, o-rings replaced for oil leak. Said he's getting 25 mpg city / 30 hwy. Brakes are good.

Carfax free info lists it as a limited. Ad didn't say if it was or not. Seller is asking $6200 which sounds like a good price to me - below KBB even for "good" condition.
Any concerns?
Hopefully happily buying if wife can be convinced.
Sounds pretty good to me...

You do realize the EJ22 won't bolt to your EA82 tranny, right?
You'll need an adapter, or a newer gen. manual tranny
Just read th elast few posts...somebody already mentioned this....oh well...

I know where all the XT6.net people go when the site is down:D

I've got a 98 Outback 2.5 DOHC 4EAT, with 110k on it, no problems, other than a slight oil leak from the front crank seal, which I replaced when I did the T-Belt.
No Head gasket problems, and no tranny problems....it's a great car, but wish Subaru had kept the non-interferance engines.....I love the EJ22, EG33, EJ27....

X35, I've been watching this thread too, wondering about fitment on the XT6, which has the Serpentine belt also....
-
Well, I got 37-38 psi with the FPR unplugged....what is the pressure supposed to be on it? It's just supposed to be 30 psi on the XT6...so I figure it's the same on the Impreza....but maybe not?
It's got good spark, and it's in time....don't know why it won't start....
-
Well, since you're getting fuel at the rails you've probly got an injector problem. Unless you're not getting enough fuel, which I would diagnose as an FPR problem. If the pump is getting fuel all the way to the rails, it should be fine.
I probably haven't told you anything you don't already know :-\ , but that's all I can think of.
Thanks Michael....
I'm going to try to borrow a fuel pressure tester to see if it's getting enough pressure tonight...
-
Not all Legacy's were AWD, from 90-95 They were offered with FWD or AWD as an option....
The 2.2 is one of Subaru's best engines...but 97-up is an interferance engine

The Impreza Sedan I'm fixing for my 16 year old daughter won't start.
It's a 95 AWD 5-Speed EJ18...with about 125k(hard miles) on the ticker
It's cranking over fine, it's getting good fire to the plugs, but won't start.
It will stumble a little like it's tring to start, but won't quite start.
I'm thinking a fuel delivery issue, but I can hear the pump kick on, and there is fuel in the line to the fuel rails, but doesn't seem to have much pressure when I take the line loose...
So could it be a FPR problem, or could the fuel pump be running, but not pumping enough pressure?
Most fuel pump problems I've had the pump just seizes up, usually if it runs, it works....so I'm confused....
Any suggestions would be welcome...
Thank in advance,
Huck
