Legacy777

No, the original oem muffler is not loud at all. You should be able to get an OEM replacement type muffler for a reasonable cost that is quiet.

You may want to pick up the new subiesport magazine. It talks a little bit about the new legacy. Also, you may want to check out www.legacygt.com/forums

No they're not really long enough.

I don't think there is a specific list anywhere. But there's probably several threads if you search.

Have you removed the bleeder screw on the radiator to aid in bleeding air from the cooling system? It's possible the coolant temp sensor may be bad. They're not too expensive, and probably isn't a bad idea to replace it.

You have to actually look through the site http://www.surrealmirage.com/subaru/engine.html

It's not exactly fun. You need to remove the bottom plastic piece under the dash, and that should give you access to the ECU & TCU. You'll probably have to remove the TCU which is held in with two 10mm nuts to get at the ECU.

Yes their parts are pretty good. They are pretty pricey, but well engineered. You'll probably find a lot more comments regarding COBB over on http://forums.nasioc.com/forums

Yes, you can have one put in. Back in 02, there was a guy locally here in tx that had one put in. You just need to find a shop that does that kind of work.

Blackbart should be able to get a hold of an ECU for you. Any Automatic based (JECS) ECU for the 90-91 legacies should be interchangable. If you have one that you think may be in question, post the number and I can check it.

Yeah I hear you. The auto manufactures have changed. Even the japanese manufacturers. They have cheapened things since the early 90's. There's little things on my car like the strut covers in the engine bay that they stopped using on the 95 & later cars to reduce costs. Thanks for the compliments on the Legacy. it's undergone a huge transformation. The car was originally a FWD, normally aspirated, & Auto trans. It's now AWD, 5spd, & turbocharged. I'm the process of putting in a new turbo & air to water intercooler. http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/td05/ The car has been across country, PA to WA four times, I drove it from PA to Memphis, and memphis to Houston, and Houston to Seattle and back. It's had some road time. However with all the performance upgrades I've done, it's lost some of its road manners. Josh

One...because they're in it to make money, and by charging you to replace the headgasket....they make money. Either way, I doubt that stuff works.

Pretty much anything will fit for the 94-01 impreza. The body style is the same. It's funny you mention that all you find is WRX stuff, because the 98 and later Impreza RS was what probably gained subaru the popularity for the big wigs to bring over the WRX. NASIOC used to be nothing but owners of cars like yours.....look at it now. There is stuff available, you just need to search around. These cars are like legos, so don't be discouraged if you don't see something specifically for your year and model. Depending on what you find, the chances are it should fit other models/years. If you have a question regarding something, just post. You may want to check out some of the vendor's/links on my site. www.surrealmirage.com/subaru Josh

More then likely different engine connectors. Hell....between the first gen legacies, there were different harnesses between the 90-91 MY's, 92-94, MY's, and 91-94 turbo MY's. Your best bet is to reuse the engine harness for the car that the engine is going into, and just splice any needed wires into the engine harness.

If it's at the same location as the stock one, it should be reading the pressure at the correct spot. As for pressure. The factory manual lists the following info for the pump. @ 600 rpm 14 psig 4.4 qt./min @ 5000 rpm 43 psig 11.10 gal/min The relief valve set pressure is 71 psig. This information is for the ej22 normally aspirated motor. Something definitely doesn't sound right. Maybe a bad gauge, or something didn't get put together properly.

That's the thing....looking at the deck of an EJ22 & EJ25....they should look very similar if not the same. So I'm not sure why the EJ25 has so many issues.

It would be an input to the TCU. Look at page 321 from the following manual, and it should make sense on how things are wired up. http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru_manual_scans/1992_FSM_(Engine_%26_Electrical)/

Glad you got it all taken care of.

Yeah that does seem rather low. Where do you have the sender installed?

You may want to search on http://forums.nasioc.com/forums see what others have, and ask them where they got it from.

You need to make sure that power is going to the switch, and from there, to the regulator, and then to the motor.

My recommendation would be to keep your eye out on ebay for factory manuals. As NorthWet mentioned, the trans manual is rather large, and scanning the whole thing is a chore. I have some additional random scans here http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru_manual_scans/FSM_Scans/ Code 45 is the atmospheric pressure sensor code. It doesn't mean the ECU is bad, but if the atmospheric pressure sensor is bad, then you'll have to replace the ECU. Definitely replace the ECU and check the wiring.

You missed one word he mentioned.....the "engine" cooling system. He's separating the systems, radiator, engine, heater core. As to the validity of that.....ehh....I see his point, but I question it. The reason being.....you can bleed the system by opening the cap, and letting the coolant circulate and move the air to the highest point. Granted it may take a trip or two with the system pressurized to move trapped air, but it does work. I'm not saying what he said is incorrect, but if that were the case, I'd say it's a poorly designed cooling system as a whole. I also think the air bubbles will more move then he leads on....at least in a normal car configuration. He may be running something different on the airplane.

I'd check the wiring. You could try jumpering/grounding the manual switch pin on the TCU, to see if it works then. You can use this information to do that http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru_manual_scans/FSM_Scans/TCU_I-O_page1.jpg http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru_manual_scans/FSM_Scans/TCU_I-O_page2.jpg

You are incorrect. The transmission will shift. Manual mode does nothing with the gear selector in 1st gear.
