Cool. Thank you. Picking up the new motor tomorrow and doing the swap on Saturday

Can a 2.2 from a 1990 legacy be used in a 98 Forester. I have an intake from a 98 2.2.

Wow, so after reading ALL 3 links, I have come to the conclusion that a cat delete down pipe is a good thing for any turbo car. The bad is emissions, and since we don't have emissions here the only problem I see is the cel. So once I figure out how to deal with the cel, I'm good. I can't just ignore the cel because of its importance, so I will figure out how to get it off. Thanks for all the info from everyone.

He did the cat back already. Sounds way better than it did stock be he's wanting a bit more. (Kids) oh wait, I put loud exhaust on everything I can :-)

He's not going for more boost, he wants a better sound. He loves the sound and isn't worried about more power

My son want to put an aftermarket catless Downpipe on his Wrx. Will he have to buy a tuner and retune it to trick the cel or can you retune it with the stock port. Dp213

Oops, doner motors

Cool. Thank you. I am going to go buy it to stick in a 98 Forester with a bad 2.5. I have used the lecacy 2.2 many times, just never came across an Impreza 2.2. Opens more doors for diner engines

Is the 2.2 from a 95 Impreza the same as a 2.2 from a 95 legacy

So I got the car and no cel. I pulled each plug from the coil one at a time and all made a difference in idle. Am I most likely looking at a bad valve

Thanks for the info. If it's a bad valve, I will swap it to a 2.2. I'm only paying $400 for the car. It's in pretty good shape otherwise with 199k on it.

So I am picking up a Forester on Saturday. I was told its been running on 3 cylinders for the last couple months but doesn't overheat or anything else. Would it be smart to start with a new coil pack and plugs and wires.

I agree mikaleda, replace the iac.

It has a 4 speed manual tranny. At the front of the tranny in the engine bay is a short dipstick, is the for the front gear box and requires 90 weight gear oil? And is the tranny fluid checked by opening a fill plug on the side of the tranny?

It has not been tuned that I know of

So my sons 2002 Wrx cel came on. Scanned and pulled the p0128 code. I replaced the thermostat with a real oem Subaru stat. Two days later the light came on again. Any ideas.

So 2000 Impreza struts will drop it a bit? Do they need to be from a wagon

My son wants me to lower his 2000 Forester. Is there a quick and inexpensive way to do it correctly. Will legacy struts do it.

Thankfully the motor was out of the car. I did a helicoil today and it worked perfect.

I figured front rotors, but why would it quit in cold weather if rotors were warped

The wheel shakes

I have a very long dirt driveway. Almost 1/8 mile.

Odd situation, right before we hit cold weather my car started shaking when I hit the breaks at higher speeds. Did that for about a week then we hit freezing or close to freezing temps and it quit. It's been perfect for the last 2 months, but now the temp has warmed up and it started shaking again. Any ideas? Thanks

Thank you everyone. I will get the helicoil tomorrow.

I am looking for a possible fix for my stupidity. While putting a new timing belt on a 98 2.2, I stripped the bolt on the bottom timing belt roller. Drilling and tapping it to a 12x1.25 would be easy, but then drilling the roller out would be tricky but doable. Or should I put a helicoil in it to keep it a 10x1.25? Any input would be great. Thanks
