Engine Swap from 90 MT AWD to 92 AT 2WD - Harness Incompatible
Legacy777 replied to root4u's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXwhy not just switch the wiring harness from the intake manifold? It's pretty simple to take off. I'll have to look at the diagrams again.....I'm beat now....just got done cleaning the house.....

2.2 High Perf. Injectors?
Legacy777 replied to bubaroo's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI think first you should be asking yourself, why do you need performance injectors. Unless you have a turbo, there's really no need to get higher flowing injectors....especially since the stock ECU isn't tuned for them. You can get your stock ones balanced & blue-printed with improve spray pattern and even out the flow characteristics between them www.rceng.com has a good rep....they did the ones I have in my car. BTW....do you have a MT or AT. Depending on the trans setup....you will have different injector types.

Engine Swap from 90 MT AWD to 92 AT 2WD - Harness Incompatible
Legacy777 replied to root4u's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXto be quite honest with you.....I've looked at those diagrams and I got to be looking at things wrong....or incorrectly. I think I see where the connectors are....but don't know how they're referenced to the fold out pages where they show where the connector is. Even on the 90 FSM's......it really didn't show me anything.....granted I may not be looking at things correctly? Got a quick lesson on how I should be looking at these electrical diagrams.......

Knock Sensor- Anyone Have Pics?
Legacy777 replied to Atomic Robot's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI'm assuming the knock sensor is in the same vicinity for the newer engines....if so I've got various engine pics, including knock sensor http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/injectors

Want to replace timing belt myself; any special tools?
Legacy777 replied to ringe's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSee.....the marks on my belt never lined up with the marks on the pullies either. I think it really doesn't matter......you can either line up the marks on the cams & crank......or just put the belt on and make sure that the marks on the timing belt match before and after. I ended up lining up the cams & crank and put the belt on that way...... I wonder if subaru techs are trained to do it another way?

Engine Swap from 90 MT AWD to 92 AT 2WD - Harness Incompatible
Legacy777 replied to root4u's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI didn't get a chance to look at the fsm for the 90 last night......I'll try and do that when I get home today from work. I really wonder why the 90 has it, if in the 92 fsm it says it's for a turbo car.....unless it's just dummy wiring that goes nowhere.

offset for 17X7" wheels
Legacy777 replied to rugbyben's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe stock 15 or 16" subie wheels have an offset around +53-55mm or so. If you plus size, you typically want a slightly less offset then stock, so 55 in a 17 might be too much and rub.

Want to replace timing belt myself; any special tools?
Legacy777 replied to ringe's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI did a little more work then just t-belt.....so I had some extra tools.....mainly the camshaft holder tool. The t-belt alone is pretty straight forward. The oddball things you may need is a big socket for the crank pulley. I would highly recommend you have a vice to recompress the tensioner.....or buy a new one. It needs to be compressed very slowly, and short of a vice.....it's near to impossible to compress it. The other hiccup which can sometimes happen is keeping the motor from moving while you're trying to loosen the crank pulley. If you have a MT. Have someone get in the car, put it in 5th, and step on the brakes while you loosen the pulley. If you have an auto, there is an access hole on the bell housing, which you can stick a pry bar or breaker bar in there to catch the back side of the flex plate. here's pics http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/injectors/DCP_2486.JPG http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/injectors/DCP_2487.JPG http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/injectors/DCP_2488.JPG That's pretty much it. Oh....just a clarification.....you pretty much NEED to take the radiator fans out to get enough room. I was referring to the radiator itself....some people opt to take it out.......I didn't think it was necessary.

Legacy777 replied to root4u's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXcan you give me the fig number you're looking at, or which page......so I can see what you're looking at? I can then try and compare that info to the 90 fsm. edit: Ok....I think I know which one's you're talking about. The connectors right behind the battery....right? I guess we need to figure out what goes through E3.......

Good Internet Parts Sources
Legacy777 replied to Markus's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXwww.subaruparts.com is another decent one. Cheap prices and no issues....as long as the part is in stock. If you get a yellow dot.....I'd try and go with another online place or dealer.

Help removing auto shifter
Legacy777 replied to Burnin Luv's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIf it's like my 90 legacy, I believe there is a cable, or something attaching it. I tried to get mine off, but after almost losing a screw & springs coming out, I just decided to put it back together.

Stereo rewiring

Stereo rewiring
Well i spent sunday and monday rewiring the stereo. I pretty much gutted the entire interior.....put down new rca's and ran speaker wire. It was a little bit of a pain running new speaker wire in the doors through the rubber boots already there. It's all back together.....sounds really good. I also fixed the center console box.....the hinges were busted. I re-revitted some new hinges on from another box....since mine already had my adjustable gain control for the sub on it. I also found that the floor pan in the rear driver's corner had been damaged.....some how something hit it, and put a nice little hole in it. I gooped it up with silicone pretty good. I'll probably do the same to the outside.......it was a little disturbing to see light from inside the cabin. Here's some pics of the ordeal http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/stereorewire/

Abs Brake System Leaking
Legacy777 replied to BRATDUDE's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAre the lines leaking where they go into the unit? Or is the unit itself leaking somewhere? Short answer.....there really is no way to bypass the unit. It handles splitting the two lines from the MC into four lines to each wheel. You may want to try and find a used unit.....if you do....be aware there are different models for the abs units.

Engine Swap from 90 MT AWD to 92 AT 2WD - Harness Incompatible
Legacy777 replied to root4u's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXwhere is the harness different? The intake manifold one shouldn't be different. Look in the scans on my site for the electrical wiring and see what you can find out...... http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru_manual_scans/1992_FSM_(Engine_%26_Electrical)/ If you can't find what you need.....let me know...and I'll see if i can look in the hard copies of the manuals.

offset for 17X7" wheels
Legacy777 replied to rugbyben's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYou'll probably want something with a little more offset +45-50mm would probably be a little better.

First Time Subaru Owner - Looking for Chilton Manual
Legacy777 replied to Mike_N_Austin's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXMike, You need to remove the radiator fans.....but that's about it. they're pretty easy to get out. some people remove the radiator.....however I didn't. If you're goin to replace water pump.....you might as well pull it and give yourself some more room. If you leave it in....put a piece of wood or cardboard on the back of the radiator, so if you have a less likely chance of bending the fins.
