Tranny swap questions
Legacy777 replied to Zagato78's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXwww.surrealmirage.com/subaru/swap to be quite honest, on that new of a car, I'd just find one that's a manual transmission. You'll save yourself a lot of headaches and time. The newer (OBD2) cars bring a lot more wiring into the equation, which can present more problems to overcome.

Nuetral switch questions
Legacy777 replied to simbey1982's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXWelcome CoryI think it wouldn't be too bad to wire up properly....but you have some sort of non-standard setup right?

Nuetral switch questions
Legacy777 replied to simbey1982's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe benefit of running the ECU's neutral signal to the transmission neutral switch is that the ECU will get an accurate reading of when the transmission is in neutral. The switch on the clutch is meant to be used as the starter interupt, not the neutral switch. It sounds like you wired both the neutral switch and the clutch interlock system up to the switch on the clutch, and wired the cruise to the other switch on the clutch. The reality of it is that the car will probably run fine with the setup you have now. There may be some minor weirdoties....but it should run fine. Does everything run fine now?

Thinking of a new Legacy turbo
Legacy777 replied to DAlgie's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI really couldn't give you specifics as I don't know, but probably the upper end of the engine, intake, etc will be slightly different, and ECU will have different maps and such. You might want to try nasioc, some of those guys might know.

Air locked Cooling system. Help
Legacy777 replied to neil mc's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYou can see the screw I'm talking about in these pics. it's right where the radiator hose goes into the radiator http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/headlight/DCP_2141.JPG this one's a little blury http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/headlight/DCP_2142.JPG

Air locked Cooling system. Help
Legacy777 replied to neil mc's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThere should/might be a little burp screw on the passenger side (Left Hand Drive models) of the radiator. You need to remove this screw to properly burp/bleed the cooling system. You could try this yourself. Unscrew the screw, open the rad cap, top the radiator off, leave the cap & screw off, and start the car. Let the car warm up. Turn the heater on full hot. Add coolant as the level goes down. As the coolant level starts to go up and down, and no more bubbles come out, put the screw back on, the cap as well. Rev the engine, drive it around to see if you hear the noise. Stop, let the car cool, and check the cooling system level again.

Thinking of a new Legacy turbo
Legacy777 replied to DAlgie's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe new legacy turbo is going to be a lot more refined then the impreza, and have a lot of stuff that the impreza doesn't have. The AWD for the MT is the same viscous coupling as in all the MT AWD systems. The turbo engine in the turbo legacy is essentially the one from the sti, and I haven't heard of any issues with it.

Subaru '92 Liberty Fault - Please Help!
Legacy777 replied to fabs7's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI'd suggest pulling the ECU & TCU codes yourself. Instructions on how to do that is on my site. The only difference that may be there might be that the US got the manual button, while the oversea's models got the econ button. They're function in terms of using them to engage the diagnostic mode is probably the same. You might also want to try your question on http://www.rslibertyclub.org/forums/

Popping in slow, tight corners ('90 Leg AWD)
Legacy777 replied to xyzgeoman's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXyeah, I'd try the fuse first....takes two seconds to pop one in, and then drive around in a circle or something.

Newbie with engine maintenance question
Legacy777 replied to DrOutback's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXOn the older H4's it's on the pass side of the manifold. I would assume it has one. Try following some hoses, and see if it leads you to it. It "should" be going into the intake manifold. You might try going to a parts store, and check the books and see if there is a pcv valve listed for your year. I would assume there is, but never hurts to check.

1992 Subaru Legacy AWD FWD fuse question
Legacy777 replied to LIMR72's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYou need to remove the fuse in the FWD fuse holder to return the car to AWD. The previous owner probably installed it because there was an issue with the car. The fuse holder is near the right front strut tower. Remove the fuse, see how the car drives. I'd also suggest changing the tranny fluid.

Legacy Turbo Vaccum Leak
Legacy777 replied to Dangerdave's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI'd also suggest checking the ECU for trouble codes, and you might want to check the air filter, and plugs to see what condition they're in. That might help you identify if the engine is running too rich.

'92 Legacy cam sensor
Legacy777 replied to m100elan's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSee the little connector and shiny round metal thing pointing towards the back of the cam pulley? http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/timingbelt/DCP_2700.JPG That's the cam sensor here's some more pics from my tbelt change http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/timingbelt Pull the codes and see what comes up. That should help identify what might be wrong.

Popping in slow, tight corners ('90 Leg AWD)
Legacy777 replied to xyzgeoman's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXTry installing a fuse in the FWD fuse holder in the engine bay, and see if your problem goes away. If it does, you have an issue with the rear extension housing that supplies power to the rear wheels. I'd first suggest replacing the tranny fluid, and see if that helps.

Looking for tranny overhaul kit, '94 Legacy.
Legacy777 replied to ringe's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXRoy, I'd talk to a good reputable tranny shop. I'd give these guys an email/call http://www.transgo.com/ I know they make a shift kit for the 4EAT. They may also have a rebuild kit, or can tell you who does. I had the transgo shift kit installed on my tranny. it helped the 1st-2nd shift a lot.
