I have A 91 legacy 2.2 AWD With an automatic transmission You know the one that has the button for the manual shift And everything will fit fine but will it operate correctly For the traction control I was wondering if The transmission from a 94 legacy 2.2 AWD Would interchange Because it does not have the button for the traction control manual shift l Understand you can swap them out And everything will fit correctly but will it function correctly Has anybody dealt with these transmissions too much thanks for reading this if you need more detail just ask I can give it to you thanks

No i did not know that thank you i will look in to that

Just picked up a legacy donor car its a 2.2 Automatic front wheel drive car I'm thinking about doing is Going with the 2.5 block as i have a complete block with blown head gaskets Is it worth it to put the 2.2 heads on the 2.5 block or should I just keep it 2.2 all the way is the power that much better with the 2.5 block

you know turning it on its side isn't a bad idea lol one piece driveline how well do you think that would do with a lift so do you think I also should cut the mounting bracket off the other car For the carrier bearing Or just make up a complete new mounting bracket for it? Will be starting a new thread about this soon

Yeah if you're able to run the engine without an ECU hooked up then I don't see why you couldn't just run the knock control system so if you don't have to pass any emissions I just get rid of the EGR On my 86 rx turbo Runs way better without the EGR all I did was made a plate to cover with the EGR went and pulled the metal pipe off for the exhaust and just plugged it off at the head I too am running a carbureted engine block with the turbo heads and multiport fuel injection the thing is way more faster has a lot more power I love it send me a PM if you want to talk more about this Would also like to know more about it too

if I'm understanding you right and I am thinking the same way you are with a little know how a couple of trial and errors would be interesting if it works and or makes an advantage or disadvantage just to get this straight you were talking carbureted models correct with a vacuum advance on the side of the distributor And converting it over to a Multiport fuel injected distributor An adding the knock control system to the carbureted model if that is what you're talking about please let me know

man when trying to figure out a Subaru's sometimes there never is a stupid question I appreciated all the brain thinking you help me do I appreciate it from all of you that help me because it was the dumbest thing that was stopping the car from getting spark unbelievable but it is what it is and I got through it with you guys thank you

no none of its out of an 87 the engine and cars were both 93 and 94 loyal it was just the plug at the distributor I had cut it off when it was a parked car I cut both ends of the plug one at the distributor harness and at the engine harness And now I have made the parts car is running driving car the problem was when I hardwired the distributor back into the harness I just matched the colors and solder them together not knowing at the factory plug the white and green wires are crossed from one another and now the car is running and driving and will be on Craigslist within a week for sale

Right now I've got a 93 loyal 4-door sedan front wheel drive 5 speed transmission here in the next couple weeks I will be starting the project I will be putting a 5 speed Dr transmission and rear diff out of an 87 Gl Everything's easy to swap over The question I have Anyone have any good tricks on putting up the carrier bearing on the rear drive line As I've discovered there's no place to bolt the carrier bearing on a front wheel drive car I know you can cut it out weldone in da dee da dee da but I'm not much of a welder and really hate welding upside down so is there any good Bolton tricks

I just checked and sure enough I do. Had no idea that those two screws were for the knock control system Thanks not even my thread and I learned something about my car I love this message board

Well I finally figured out why my 93 loyal had no spark. Back when my car was actually a parts car. I had to cut the plug at the distributor. For another car. So when I put A new engine back into this car I just hard wired the distributor wires to the harness Not realizing that the green wire And the white wire Were backwards The best way I can describe it to you is That the distributor has 4 wires A green wire a black wire a white wire and a red wire And the black wire went with the black wire And the red wire went with the red wire and the green wire went with the white wire and the white wire went with the green wire it's always got to be the most dumbest thing so thanks to you all that put your two cents worth of help so tell my next stupid problem we shall see you later

Well I change the engine harness Along with the Throttle body From the original engine out of the car Check the mass air flow sensor it checks out good The coil has good power to both sides of the terminal The only thing I have not check now is the Wires going from the distributor to the ECU So I guess that's going to be my next task From what I can tell there is no difference between automatic and the 5 speed cars for the engine management system

mass air flow sensor I knew that what a brain fart lol

you know you're onto something there that's got me thinking thank you but the craziest thing is in the 5 speed car I had to use the automatic ECU to get the 5 speed car to Run So do you think the neutral safety switch could still have something to do with it even though the car turns over ?

What is maf? and you know this is weird both cars are a 93 loyal One is automatic the other had a5 speed I pulled the running motor out of the five speed car and put it into the automatic car. I just don't understand why I am having such difficult getting spark this car is making me feel real dumb right now

Just an FYI the pictures that I put On here are pictures of the distributor for my 86.5 rx And it is a 1.8 litre Multiport fuel injection

I really appreciate that but I don't think its the distributor As it was working just fine in another car. See what I'm going through right now Is that pulled the motor Out of a running loyal And for some stupid reason the car lost spark I don't know if its a relay or if its electrical Or what Its got me frustrated stumped and all in between If you know what I mean. Do you think if I just gave the distributor 12 volt power I can make it spark? I've also replace the coil from a running car I just don't understand why code 13 the crank angle angle sensor is coming up I'm thinking my next step might be just to change the engine harness What do you think?

I don't know the part number but doesn't the distributor a kind of look like this and the wiring for the distributor kind of long with external vacuum advance and the harness also would have the knock sensor attached to it And the electrical plug kind of look like the one in the picture

Yeah that's basically how my ea82t 86.5 rx distributor works It's gotta vacuum advance Diaphragm on the side of the distributor and a knock sensor that all go to the ECU under the steering column

just to let you know I the fusible links are good So can you tell me if I can run the ignition module test the same way with the 93 loyals distributor it's a four wire distributor As on the carbureted model has only two thank you I am getting good info so please keep the info coming I know one of you will hit it because I know this one's got to be an easy solution has anyone ever tried to just give the distributor power so you can get spark that way kind of like you would in an HEI distributor in a Chevrolet

Yeah I did and its Good in tight you know I'm sure it's something that easy is what's causing my problem right now to have no spark So if you have any more ideas please let me know

Just so you all know what my RX looks Like

Was hoping any one had any good picks of my 86 RX out in the mud pit if so please post them

The difference between the fuel injected distributor in the carbureted distributor The biggest thing I've noticed is a carbureted Distributor has a vacuum advance As the fuel injected one has none Unless you get to the multiport fuel injected models at least the older ones They do have a vacuum advance like the carbureted models
