Does the Subaru XT (all years) and Subaru RX/GL/DL Wagon/Sedan/3D_Coupe (all years) share the same front driver and passenger seat brackets? What about the XT6? What about EA81 cars like the hatch? Thanks

I can sure use the anti-sway bars (especially the rear one) from a 4wd XT6 if you want to get it and ship it to me. You must check that the rear one is 20mm in diameter. Name your price. Thanks.

Hmmm, do you need the dust shield from the WRX? I thought the caliper mounts to the hub, vice backing plate. In other words, the attachment point for the caliper bracket is part of the hub (1 piece of metal). So I was thinking that I have to keep the XT6 backing plate and modify that along with the caliper bracket to mate the two. Then I would have to figure out what rotor works best. Is this right? And let's not even get into the e-brake.

When you say center hole, are you talking about the rotor which slides onto the 56.1mm hub? Can the rear XT6 rotor be used with the wrx caliper once adapted?

I am sure someone on here already compared wrx rear brakes to xt6 rear brakes. Will the WRX rear caliper mount to the XT6 rear caliper bracket or will the WRX rear caliper with bracket mount to the XT6 backing plate? If not, how close is the mounting bolt spacing between the two?

I don't need an exhaustive list of all engines that will drop in. Just give me the best options. Consider which EJ engines are easiest to get and at a decent price, which engines are most reliable (non-interference are preferred), and which will drop in the easiest. I also heard that some EJ25s have head gasket issues- I need to know which years engines to stay away from.

I am very familiar with EA engines, but I am completely new to EJ engines. My brother blew the EJ22 motor (rod knock because it ate 3 quarts of oil in 3k miles) in his 99 impreza outback automatic. I am having trouble sourcing a replacement EJ22 motor. Which EJ engines will drop in with little to no modification required? Will any NA EJ22 or EJ25 drop in without modification or changing the ECU or wiring harnesses? What I have learned so far is that the difference between early years EJ22 and 97+ are that early models have HLA, are non-interference, and have dual port exhaust. 99+ have revised blocks and heads. Swapping y-pipes should not be a big deal, so will an early EJ22 swap in without changing anything else? Because my bro and I live in Cali, swapping in any engine older than the model year of the car may be a problem. I also heard that EJ25 may drop right in and work with the factory EJ22 ECU. Somebody please break down which NA EJ motors will be the easiest to swap in and which modifcations will be required to do so. 2nd part of this question- Where should I look for a motor? I called Japanese Engine Importers and none so far can get me a 99 EJ22, but they are willing to sell me a rebuilt long block for $2k. Thank you, Mark

Call Scion dealers and ask if they have an auto FRS that you can test drive. Scion dealers are willing to let anybody behind the wheel of one if they have it in stock. I test drove 1 manual FRS last week.

Still running EDIS with no MS and timing is near 5 BTDC instead of 10 and at any rpm. VR sensor is 9 teeth before the missing tooth. I am using an advance timing light with the knob set to zero. Anybody know why I get 5 instead of 10 degrees? Also, engine sometimes misses and I can see this in the pulse from my timing light. Not bad and goes away at higher rpm. I decreased gap in all my plugs to see if it would go away, but it did not. It doesn't do this on the stock ignition. Is this normal? Could it be running this way becuase timing is fixed? Planning on purchasing a MS3, but want the edis setup to run as good as I can get it first. So will MS3 connect direct to the coil pack (bypassing the EDIS module)

I found this, which my be of use: http://msdignition.com/Products/Accessories/Tach_Adapters/8912_-_Tach_Adapter_for_DIS_2_and_DIS_4_Ignitions.aspx I wonder if there is a way to use the VR sensor to trigger the fuel injection. I wish I had an O-scope to see what the signal looks like. I bet there is a way to replicate it to make the stock ECU happy by using EDIS as the trigger.

I am working on a FORD EDIS install on my 87 EA82T while running the stock ECU to control fuel injection. I got the engine to run with the EDIS with no MegaSquirt/Jolt yet to control it (thats coming next). I would like to completely remove the distributor, but I find that removing or disconnecting the distributor kills the engine. I understand that the CAS inside the distributor is also being used by the ECU to trigger fuel injection? Just looking to see if anybody found a clever way to get around this? I may eventually use MS to control fuel, but no immediate plans to do this yet. I was hoping for a clean EDIS install with factory injecton. Thanks.

Thanks Numbchux, that is the answer I was looking for. I didn't think the bushings would be the same since the XT6 inner arm end is way larger, but I was just comparing the arm and not the bushing it self. I have yet to pull the EA82 arm out to measure the outside diameter of the bushing. I can't afford any down time, so I will order the EA82 SuperPro inner arm bushing and have it ready to swap into the XT6 arm when i do the 5 lug swap. If it doesn't work out, I may be able to put the stock XT6 arm bushings back in (if I don't destroy them when taking them out). If I have to use the XT6 arm bushing, I rather have a custom spacer made to press into the bushing than to enlarge holes in the crossmember. I want the ability to go back if I have to. Bushings take a while to get since most are coming from australia, but I will post the outcome on this thread.

Anyboy know if SuperPro makes a bushing for the inner bushing of the XT6 control arm?

I have control arms from an AWD XT6, and I have never read anything on this board about issues with mounting them onto the crossmember unless you got 2WD control arms. Anybody else found that the control arms will not mount without modification to the crossmember? I know SuperPro makes bushings. Do they make them for the XT6 control arm? The XT6 has a larger bushing than the EA82. I don't think an EA82 or EA81 bushing will fit in the XT6 arm.

I know about the ball joint, I am concerned about the other end. Thanks.
