+1 Has been down for a few days now.

Or use an clutch alignment tool.. Usually comes with the clutch kit. Also you can try shaking the crap out of the engine while applying pressure towards the tranmission. usualy works for me.

+1 All you need for an Ej alternator to work is a wire from acc on the ignition to the alternator. if you don't do this the alternator won't charge. At first I just connected the wire directly to the battery. But when then engine is not running it will draw some current from the battery this way.

Also in addition to poor grounding it could be a bad alternator. You can fix the humming noise by installing a capacitor parallel with your stereo power.

Bram on subaruxt.com did this on his ej20g build.. basicly they are the same. The only thing is that the atf lines on the ej rack outputs on the other side.. He cut a hole in the crossmember and strengthened it. Anyway here is a pic of it

Yes it will fit.. no problem there.

As I remember there should be a wire comming from the alternator that needs switched 12v for the alternator to alternate Sorry Don't remember the colour could be black or yellow or something If not connected to a switched 12v source but directly to the battery you can hear a low noice from the alternator.

Its a hack job on the ordinary impreza setup.

I had a top mount intercooler. Now it's there for the air cleaner. oh yeah and for looks

This is my car indeed

Just thought I should ad this here as well. Nothing too fancy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VErlc5lghz4

ej20g in a xt turbo

Done

So why do you want to have a ej18 turbo.. Why don't run a ej20??
