basically anything made by subaru will go in, it just depends how deep your pockets are. wrx swaps are getting cheaper, STIs swaps are still pretty spendy still but it's doable. the wiring is the biggest part, if you fear wiring stay away and just buy a WRX. or have a shop that has done them before do the swap for you.

just needs a good home

i was thinking temp sensor, as in it's dying but not dead. like when it warms up the resistants in the sensor changes back to what it is at cold and gives you a high idle. that was the first thing i thought of.

not going to give out my info but if you need one ran i can run it and email it to you.

funny you should say green couple of pics from the oregon trail rally

if i didn't mess up rebuilding the rear end it would be in already, i have no idea what i did but that thing was crazy tight and never loosened up. i had to start over with a new rear diff. but lesson learned, for what i can rebuild one for i can get another one for about the same price.

or find a buddy that really doesn't know what he's doing but can read a wiring diagram.

the answer would be YES!!!! and like someone else said, i don't even have a 4 lug subaru

i have heard good things about amsoil, it seems the people that use it really like it but i have never had a chance to use it yet. i like redline, and really because it got rid of so many grinds in multiple trannys. until redline lets me down for what ever reason, i can't see me going through different brands just to see, not unless it is way cheaper.

ok so from the outside it doesn't look like anything more then a normal tranny and rearend. it's what on the inside that counts. the NA tranny is a 01 forester with a set of 4.44s gears swapped in and the rear end is a 98 auto outback which came with 4.44s but i swapped in a clutch lsd from the older turbo GLs. all this is going in my legacy rally car, should make for a fun car.

and that's how i'm going to do it, i just was looking for that magical "4oz" amount.

called chevy they have the 4oz bottle for $9.95 looks like i'm off to chevy. thanks guys

well after i got off the phone with lithia they said they don't have the additive any more and the only way was to get that kind of fluid was to get the 5 gallon special subaru LSD gear oil. um yeah no thanks. called a couple more subaru places and found one that said they get thier stuff from GM and the bottle is 4oz. so now we know and knowings half the battle. GI JOE!!!!

no i'm talking about the additive not the gear oil with additive added. you get little bottles of friction modifier (lsd fluid) and add in with normal oil.

ok so i got from subaru that you can use pretty much any kind of lsd additive and it should work. But how much are you supposed to use? i know you are supposed add some more if the plates chatter, but what's a good starting point.

just use a 1.8 TB, they have the IAC mounted to the TB. I'm pretty sure the 2.2 ecu would run it, it's the exact same plug and the 3 wire kind, just in a different place

never mind it was the spaces that was messing me up i just copied and pasted it. it will on the way over to you in a min

the things on your 2.2 look to be maybe a map sensor and your IAC. Looks like somewhere along the line subaru moved it to the throttle body like the phase 2 ej25s. what i would do it find you an older 2.2 intake with the IAC mounted to the side of the intake. then it would be a plug and play thing. the only thought about that would be if the intake manifold mounting would be the same between the older 2.2 intake and the newer 2.2 heads. i know they changed the 2.5s between phase 1 and 2. if you take a picture of the underside of your 2.2 intake i can look at my pile of intakes and at least see if it's the same. and what gloyale says about your egr you need to keep in mind if you have to go through any kind of inspection, with it unhooked you are going to have a check engine light on all the time.

that vin can't be searched because it's not 17 digits. or at least that's what my account was saying.

in the link i put it says he had to shorten the legacy one by 1 7/8" but it he wasn't a 100% sure if that was how much he took out. kingbobdole would be the man to ask.

oh man i swore i cleared it with your secretary .

i knew i had read something like this. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=72920&page=2 this one isn't into a ea81, but if you think about it you can use the drive line from a ea82 in the ea81 wagons and brats without modifying it. so one would think the same shortening would have to happen to the ea81 sorry it's not exactly what you are looking for but it's the best i could find.

the awd systems aren't anything like the 4x4 systems of the old. the awd works like a rx full time awd with center diff lock, remove the center diff lock and add a LSD and in a nut shell that's what the newer awd systems are like. for mudding or trail driving you can't beat the DR (in subaru tranny world) you get 50% going to each end of the car regardless of how many wheels are up in the air. in awd you could technically get 100% of the power going to one wheel. now the center diff tries to prevent that and send power equally to both ends, but the "LSD" in the center will give up eventually and burn up. so my opinion, DR that thing. oh also $500 for a running legacy that doesn't look like crap, that's a bargain.

you are so not responding to stuff on vacation. WTF:rolleyes: i got my tranny, guess what you got planned for next sunday. mwahahahaha (evil laugh)

if you are talking about putting a ej tranny in a ea this guy has a good write up about it. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=72920
