  1. I can think of several cars worth swapping a rotary into, none made by subaru. whats the deal with the adapter? handmade, kennedy made, or what?
  2. 4.11 is the most common one you will find in NA 90-94 legacies. I made a thread about combining a clutch type LSD and a 4.11 legacy diff and noone really knew, something about the stub axles not matching and the diff carrier having different amounts of ring gear bolts. only fwd imprezas had 23sp. hope that helps,
  3. now, if you were wanting to do a turbo setup, cis e can go the distance but a volvo 240 turbo fuel distributor would be better.
  4. its actually 10 bolts, 4 into the frame, 4 on the rack, and 2 for the control arms. cheapest Ive seen a turbo crossmember go for in a while was 175. custom uppipe means no paying 175 for a turbo crossmember plus a turbo exhaust setup. not swapping crossmembers means not risking breaking steering rack bolts which frequently break. not saying its the best way, but it may be a cheaper way, and is a good alternative if you weld, just a different way to do it.
  5. IIRC you can use the impreza harness and ad the wires for boost stuff. a cheaper option for crossmember is to build a custom uppipe from the NA impreza header to turbo and retain the stock crossmember, could actually be faster/easier than swapping crossmembers and certainly cheaper if you weld.
  6. widened steelies, custom steelies, maybe $100 a pop from stockton wheel or something like that. 33x13.5 you could still run a 8" wheel too, harder to unseat the bead.
  7. who said he was going to rice it out? and there are some of the best subaru minds on nasioc, but also the worst. a dog do a bunch of reading over on legacycentral, dont mind manarius. basically, if you have a question about modding the 90-94 legacy, it has been covered, often several times. personally if I was you I'd look into an ej20g(japanese 2.0L single turbo from early-mid 90s) or build some sort of hybrid motor like an ej22e block with ej20g heads or ej25 heads, and a wrx turbo setup.
  8. sorry but why? cis is decent but definitely not worth swapping in to anything.
  9. good way to get stuff out of dually tires is to put a ratchet strap around it, and around a tree or part of the vehicle, then drive in the direction that will pull the piece out.
  10. I dunno its probably worth it to try and adapt a vf11, you get them for $100 all day in great condition and they are a nice size for an ea82t. I doubt you could max one out with an ea82t without some serious supporting mods.
  11. you going to do any type of seam welding or other reinforcements to the shell?
  12. tried tacoma screw? there are a few in the puget sound area.
  13. are there any combos of stock parts to get an ea81 with a compression ratio in the mid to low 8's? that ought to stand up to some punishment.
  14. whats the most reliable power you can get out of a stock internals ea81t, and what are the differences between that and the regular ea81? they sound like an interesting little motor.
  15. so anyone found a source for hummer portal boxes at an ok price? sure would kill a lot of birds with one stone.
  16. so does anyone have an idea how much travel legacy axles are good for?
  17. also a wrx stocker would work with the stock setup and be a lot cheaper unless you are planning on upping the boost then go with the walbro.
  18. what front diff and axles setup?
  19. I think there is some forum for VW swaps that has a section dedicated to the ej swap.
  20. who is running some, and how do you like them? main usage? I already fabbed some up out of some old junkers but I am just kinda chicken to install them. car is already loud as f*ck due to catless 2.5" with a small muffler so noise cant get much worse.
  21. my thoughts exactly, but it must be a really good low end torque with that small turbo and compression out the rump roast. maybe some toluene couldnt hurt on the hot days, and I hope its intercooled?
  22. not sure about outback but most every other legacy you can swap struts across sedan to wagon. some will tell you they are different but they should be compatible if you use the whole strut assembly. anyone have an idea how much travel legacy axles can safely cycle? I'm thinking that there are some long strut inserts out there plus some 10 or 12" 150lb coilover springs would flex pretty good. half considering lifting my wagon but will only do it if I can get a bit more travel out of it, and if the axles can accomodate that. could some truck shocks like rancho rs9000's work in a strut capacity or would the side loads be too much? shock could mount inside a strut body and have a pivot at the strut top.
  23. countersink bit? really sharp angled reamer? die grinder?
  24. you treat the shortblock as a direct replacement, everything will swap over onto the ej25 from the ej22 and there are a few things you have to swap like some brackets and things. intake manifold: using the same heads so non issue exhaust manifold:as above, and all dual port ejs use the same pattern. deck height is the same on ALL ejs. ej22t is a great motor sure, but they are now expensive and you will be going to turbo which involves a host of other parts that you need. good thing about the shortblock swap is that it is a drop in replacement with no wiring, converting crossmembers, turbo parts, etc. looks exactly like an NA ej22e from the outside. as far as power, I'd say that my motor is on par with or has a little more power than a stock ej22t. mine has nowhere near ej22t potential of course...
