Howdy, I am looking to put cruise control into my 93 impreza. I plan on pulling the parts from a car at the scrap yard, but I have no idea what models or years are compatible. Can anyone lend assistance? I plan on pulling an EJ25D from the yard here sometime soon, so if I could do it all in one fell swoop it would be nice.

From my research phase 2 has to go with phase 2, and phase 1 has to go with phase 1, without having to rewire or go the frankenmotor route. Not sure if the 99 is a phase 2 or not, I have read it is and is not. Someone else might be able to chime in. No clue on transmission. I have a ej251 that will work with that year. It will need the heads put back on it, but have them too. It's pretty easy taking the engine and tyranny apart and back together again.

Hi there everyone. For those who don't know, a few weeks ago I swapped a 1995 ej22 (about 200k miles) out of a Legacy into my 1993 impreza L. Put in a 2.5rs clutch at the same time. I have developed a leak from my valve cover gaskets. I needed a car asap and lacked money to do a correct reseal. Also, the "plate of doom" was plastic on it, cracked at that, and I could not find a metal one locally and I needed the car on the road. So I put some gasket maker over the cracks. It has held up, or so I think so far. But I don't feel like having to change it in winter with 3 feet of snow, outside. So that should probably be done to. My questions: Is there a particular method for resealing these engines that needs to be adhered to? Should I buy anything specific? Anything else I should replace while I am in there? Should I replace the headgaskets (can it be done without a trip to the machine shop?)? I have been reading about Delta cams and how they make life awesome. This car is my daily driver, so I do like good gas mileage, but power is also important too. I have heard that 220's (It uses this kind right?) are the best option. I am new to this mechanical world though so can anyone tell me exactly what cams are going to do? HP gains, Mpg gains/losses, anything else they do? I appreciate the help!

So in taking out the 1.8 in my 93 impreza L and replacing it with the 2.2, I could not get the 2.2 in. It was in, but just lacking a quarter of an inch. So pulled the engine to examine what was going on. After alast ditch effort before just going inside and crying myself to sleep, I looked at all the holes. And low and behold, in one of the holes, the index/allignment pin was stuck in there from the last engine. Enter punch and hammer. Beat that sucker out. Mine was in there really tight. I hit it so the pin came out the back, tranny side. Thought I would share for all those who are having troublesome engines not going in. Could save you hours of monkeying around.

So I have a 1993 impreza L. It has no roof rack. I want a roof rack. Is it possible and/or has anyone put a roof rack from other 90's imprezas on an impreza that didnt come stock with one? I don't want to go ahead and buy the roof rack to put it on and not work. I plan on using said roof rack for stuff like, Snow boards, kayaks and other stuff that might end up scratching the roof which I don't want. Thanks

Hi everyone. I just bought a 1993 impreza L, 5mt 1.8L AWD. There is pretty much no clutch, it engages only when the pedal is all the way out and slips really bad whilst driving. I was looking at new clutches but I stumbled upon a few posts mentioning early 1.8L awd's having a fwd clutch. Can I put a regular 1.8/2.2/2.5 clutch in it and not have to worry about it? Or will I have to put in another 1.8? Any way to tell if it has this "odd" clutch in it? I was thinking about using a 2.5 rs clutch due to it's better specs, clamping force and whatnot. Resurfacing the flywheel because it is lighter than the others, stock. The 1.8 is only a temp motor, 2.2 is being dropped in eventually. I can't find any posts elaborating on the 1.8 clutch differences just the people have ran into trouble. Thanks

Thanks for the information everyone! I ended up not getting the bug eye. I bought a 93 impreza L awd 1.8 today though. I will be swapping in a phase 1 2.2 eventually but I need to get this one running and driving first. The clutch is shot, hardcore. Foot off of the pedal before it engages and slippage while driving. So I will be doing a clutch/flywheel job first and run it in the 1.8 for a while. I will be asking a question about this in a separate topic. 1. For the 2.2 swap, I have read that I just swap the intake manifold and it's a direct swap. Is this correct? 2.Anything else that needs to be done? 3. Do the 1.8 and 2.2 flywheel weigh the same and if the 1.8 is lighter should I use that instead of the 2.2? (will ask this question in other post) Thanks again!
