CHIM Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Ok, i finally found a donor car, Im not sure what exact year it is but im asuming 92-94, Legacy sedan. Found it in the paper for free, Motor runs, no tranny. Is this motor gonna fit my tranny and motor mounts in the RX? And will my RX ECU work with 2.2? Also, Can the hubs from this car fix the rx as well. Im a little exited to be picking this car up tomarrow:) Any knowlege is VERY apprieciated! ~CHIM~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHIM Posted January 12, 2005 Author Share Posted January 12, 2005 Oh, i forgot to aslo ask, is all the plumbing for the turbo going to work as well? Exhaust and cooling & all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Motor mounts are pretty close tranny is not even close turbo, if you want one will have to have all new exhaust stuff done.. stock RX turbo is too small anyway wiring harness and ECU will have to be swapped. You have a lot of work ahead of you. Hope you have some factory service manuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaru_styles Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 you could always sell the RX to me:brow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSubaruJunkie Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 You can adapt the Tranny to fit the EJ22. The main question is... will the RX Tranny handle the power the EJ22T is capable of putting out? -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess i'll see if the tranny can hold it after it's running:) Also, will the LSD from the legacy fit EA81 aplications the same as EA82 LSD?

calebz Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 So, your saying that the 2.2 will not fit my 5 speed rx tranny? And the turbo on the 2.2 won't fit my exhuast? That is correct. Neither the bellhousing nor the turbo is a direct bolt in. However, as Brian said, a bellhousing adapter can be made. A new exhaust system can be made as well. Some creative use of WRX exhaust parts will help a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHIM Posted January 12, 2005 Author Share Posted January 12, 2005 Ok, will the exhaust from the legacy donor car work? Also, you said the tranny adapter has to be made?, They don't exist otherwise? And does anyone happen to have one just layin around they might want to part with?. The tools i have in my garage are limited in that matter. This will be the first real mods i have done to a subaru, im sorry if i am anoying you guys with dumb questions. But i really do appreciate all the help.

TheSubaruJunkie Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Talk with Mudrat in Eugene about getting an adapter made for your tranny. You will want to have a whole new exhaust made up, would be the best way to do it. If your keeping your RX Tranny, the LSD in the RX wont need to be changed. Your RX Tranny is 3.7 whereas a VLSD from a Legacy is 3.9. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballitch Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Does the RX tranny have the same bolt pattern as an EA82 D/R 5 speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Sure does. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
