it's 15/16 like some legacys, so it is bigger..I'm running a legacy MC on my 89 wagon, 15/16th as well very nice upgrade...

How do you find how the car stopswith the xt6 stuff? and full-time 4wd FTW?

hey Will, heh if I can get xt6 hubs sent all the way down here in Barbados you shouldn't have too much trouble *looks at xt6 hub fitted to 290mm legacy rear disc* and if you *must* have something new you can always get a kit from 'bratgeebah' down in aussieland and bolt all the good legacy stuff to our antiquated but dearly loved L-series cars for $$$ Kaz

detonation and over heating contribute the most to blown headgaskets.. and age as well.. friggin awesome job! We need more PICS please! :burnout: Oh and why did you go back to stock ea82t camshafts?

Yeh it's not a regulator but a fuel damper to even out the pulses from the fuel pumps pumping action. Won't affect your using it.. Still highly recommend getting a brand new pump for your ej swap or any efi conversion tho' seen to many old pumps crap out.. Kaz

yeh they are different. larger spline count and diameter on the front..

+++1!

I've sooo done this one works like a charm..

Positive castor angle is a good thing... It helps turn in by creating negative camber while the wheel turns and assists postive centering of the steering.. This is why jdm sti spec c vehicles handle so much better than base stis (although I think USDM 2k5 and on stis had these arms as well) the lower control arms are longer and the ball joint postion is more forward thus giving a wider track more negative camber and more postive castor. This is what Phizinza is trying to do with this mod.. It takes way more than ovaling out the strut top mounts as you still have the big top hat bushing hole to deal with.. great job Phizinza and personally I think your fabrication should be plenty strong..

I read somewhere that the correct width of subaru ea82 non xt V-belts is 12.5mm...just passing it on.. Kaz

damn..why did they shaft yall guys up north with 9004 instaed of H4 halogens like we got down here? I can def. see why you'd want to do this Dave..looks like a huge improvement..

...and a factory oil cooler (P/Ns 21315AA001, 21319AA001, 21317AA001, 806959010, 806923020, 45711GA021[sedan/wagon/3d], 45711GA030[XT], hmm this list is longer than I thought.. lol I should just scan the part page)....and a different crank shaft P/N 12201AA030

I believe the largest transmission subaru put into their cars is actually the 4eat (or 5eat now I gues) which fits very well in our cars..interesting thing is that the front diff section of a six speed sti box looks very much like that found on an ejxx 4eat..Another coincidence that the 4eat drive shaft from the impreza is the same length as the six speed drive shaft..but yes getting back on topic.. I do think if our cars can hold a 4eat they should certainly be able to hold an sti 6 speed..providing it is already ejxxx swapped that is and you don't mind fabbing up some mounts and linkages..

ahh you gotta love suspensions worth more than the car (well without the ej20 and stuff)

The front wheel output shaft DOES get coupled to the center diff, it passes throught the gearbox output shaft suspended on needle roller bearings, that's why it at 1st looks like the gearbox output shaft is actually coupled directly to the front Diff when in reality it isn't..This is a true center differential providing differential action between the front and rear drive systems... hth, Kaz

that's strange 'cause both the harness I have and my FSM section 6 shows that from the four wire crank angle connector on the ditributor, initially all four wires, then three of them are shielded right back to the ECU and then connect to all the sensor shields via connector F88 which traces back as I described..lol you know it just occured to me we might be talking different engines..my information concerns 87+ mpfi ea82..

Three wire microphone cable is shielded and is exactly right for this application..one side of the crank angle shield IS grounded where it feeds back towards the ecu connectors you'll find a group of uninsulated braided wires that plug into another set of black wires..these are all the shield grounds and they eventually go back to the engine harness connecter where they are earthed on a bolt by the thermostat housing..

18 ftlb of torque is the correct to apply the right tension on the belt, 25 if both the head gasket and belt are new on the long belt (distributer) side...

Just keep in mind there are chips in the ECU that get hot, so completely sealing the ecu off for an ECU that isn't sealed from the factory isn't a good idea..

I have a '90-'93 15/16 Legacy MC in my L series. The biggest FHI has for none ABS cars is 1" it was bolt on just swapped out the brake fluid level sensor between the two as the connector on the legacy is diff from the L-series. Very simple (well as simple as changing out a MC ever is) and my brakes have never felt better and this was swapping from a new 13/16+1" MC that come stock..brake booster swap wasn't required.. Oh and fyi just like the L-series the early Legacies had a hillholder so there's differences between the manual and auto MC..

If timing belts are set according to FSM then TDC can be found by cam sprocket alignment..Again according to FSM and looking directly at the front of the engine, if the small hole in the right hand sprocket is at 135 degrees (90+45) clockwise and the small hole on the left sprocket is at 315 degrees (360-45) clockwise, then the engine is at TDC on number one cylinder..at this point the disty can be installed and the flywheel/flex plate will confirm TDC at zero degrees...this is how I installed my disty and got it to run on 1st start instead of doing it 180 degrees out then having to take it back out and turn it 180 degrees.. FSM is a wonderful thing..I wish I could show the nice picture they have of how what I just described looks.. HTH Kaz

looks like the factory euro oil cooler was on there.. been trying to get part numbers and diagrams for it, but our parts department lost the euro parts book..yeh don'tya love that? thing looks amazing..not quite my thing but amazing work!

Just some general help on how I'd go about changing the bearing in the pully as mine is toast but the compressor still works fine..

FINALLY! Man I'm this Stoked and it ain't even my car:headbang: :burnout:

nice..I'd cut them lagacy springs..with a sawsall and metal blade..it'll stiffen up the front a bit but our cars can use that..and yes I'd swap the air in the rear to coils as well.. yes 2.5 rs has 2 piston and wrx has two and 4 piston(from '06 in usa or almost any sti and most wrx from 99 on in the rest of the world..) front..some legacies as well but got no idea what will and what won't bolt 2 that legacy hub..
