finally got a legacy turbo


Recommended Posts

Well guys, I've been looking for a while but I finally found a factory turbo 1st gen Legacy.

 

I purchased it from the 2nd owner (one family owned it from new)

 

Its all stock minus a muffler and wheels.

 

1992 Legacy SS 156k original miles automatic trans

 

I got it for a good deal because it needs a new trans. Do the turbo models have a certain trans/gearing? Or are they the same as the other 1st get AWD Legacy's?

The EJ20's had more power/more boost/bigger turbos as they also had intercoolers - the EJ22T never came w/an IC.

 

All '91-94 Turbo models had a 3.9 FD ratio - both Autos and 5-speeds. The '92-94 NA/non-turbos were also 3.9.

 

ONLY the '91 had the rear VLSD - none of the '92-94 years did.

 

The Turbo trans was stronger - more clutches,etc. to handle the power. Rebuilding it won't be cheap, but if you do, put a trans cooler on it and it'll last longer.

 

Doing a 5-speed swap is not that hard, depending on your experience. Read up on it HERE.

 

If you've not done it yet, you NEED to check out the Legacy Central site. It specializes in the '89-94 Legacy model and has a ton of turbo info, too.
