  1. By the way, I have a 'Roll Bar' welded into the unibody of the Brat to give it more rigidity. Back to the real question..... what if I used 2 heim joints (one male and one female) to replace the rubber 'dog bone'? I now have (at full compression) about 4.5 inches between the centerlines of the attaching bolts on the sway bar and the lower control arm.
  2. Pardon me........... what was I thinking? It says Sway Bar Bushing Kit on Rock Auto for my other car. DUH
  3. No such luck..... I had it on the ground.
  4. I know I've been asking a lot of 'off the wall' questions lately. Soo here's the next one. Has anyone lifted an Impreza Outback and not been able to reconnect the sway bar licks? Now even under full compression, the 'dog bones' will not line up with the ears on the lower control arms. Does someone have a solution other that cutting the tabs off and relocating them? Or heating up the swaybar and bending it?
  5. Thanks again..... I'm looking at the Power supply Routing Wiring Diagram and in the 'Fuse/Relay Location' picture, which relay is the AC Compressor relay? I'm sorry to ask these stupid questions, but some of this is 'Greek' to this old man.
  6. What I forgot to mention was that I had to eliminate the AC compressor due to a lack of room for installing the coolant tank reservoir. I had hoped that I could eliminate the AC circuit and use it for the power window circuit that the Brat had but the Impreza didn't have. Do you think I could eliminate 2 of the 4 relays you mentioned?
  7. Thank you very much. I will try just what you suggest.
  8. Thanks for your help. I have installed everything from my '95 Impreza Outback donor car with OBDII.... combo meter, steering column, front suspension, rear suspension, all except the heater box and the HVAC controls.
  9. Thanks for the info...I am using the complete EJ wiring harness and I have the wiring diagram, but it appears that the blue wire and the green wire are both 'hot'. I planned to split the fans, two to one plug and one to the other plug. The thermo sensor on the EJ system is not in the radiator, its on the engine. Do you think I can just eliminate one of them?
  10. Since I had to lower the Legacy radiator in the Brat chassis and the EJ22 engine is only 4 inches from the core support, I had to eliminate the factory fans from the back of the radiator. I purchased three 8 inch pusher fans and have installed them in front of the radiator,but still behind the grill. The factory electrical connection has three terminals (one black, one blue and one green wire). The pusher fans only have two wires (one black and one blue wire). How should I wire this up? Has anyone else run into this problem before? Thanks,
  11. Ok guys and gals, I'm back at it again..My first try at adapting my turbo cable to the EJ motor didn't look very safe after I put everything back in yesterday. What have you all used to adapt the EJ22 throttle bracket to the EA81 accel pedal?
  12. ok thanks..... the Legacy/Impreza cables are different, aren't they? They go to the rear wheels and the EA81 and EA82's go to the front wheels. Are they interchangable?
  13. Just got my XT6 front calipers that I hope will fit on my Impreza brake assys. Do I now need Loyal brake cables to make this work? With the Impreza front suspension on my 3" lifted Brat, the original Brat e-brake cables are now too short. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
  14. Started to install the Impreza wiring harness under the dash.. it's like stuffing 10 pounds of crap in a 5 pound sack. Got the fuse box mounted, but had to cut into the engine compartment to get the main harness past the heater box and over to the passenger side so I could mount the ECU in the footwell. There were so many wires that I had to remove the A/C unit and take out the cooling coil. Its back together now, but the A/C will never work again. LOL...Also started the modification of the Automatic shifter lever.... the old Brat one had the little orange button to activate the 4WD solenoid on the old automatic trans and the shift pattern was missing a '3' in the selector...and the lever part below the chassis is on the drivers side. The Impreza unit has the lever on the passenger side and will not fit in the 'factory' spot so I completely modified the original unit to fix all the 'problems. If you didn't know better you would think is came from the factory
