The new guy - 96 Legacy Wagon


Recommended Posts

Well I posted the other day in the what did you do today thread.

 

This is my first Subaru. I LOVE wagons. I come from many years of old Quattros and swaps. so far ill i have needed is 2 screwdrivers a 10mm and 12mm. :lol: This is a nice "stepping" out of the german world for me. bit burned out.

last Thursday I picked up a 1996 Brighton Wagon 224k 5speed. had a check engine light for a lean trim condition. first thing i did was synthetic oil change. new pvc check valve, ngk plugs, and a fuel filter. Also had a 1/4" hole in the exhaust right off the head. fixed that and the check engine light went out. passed ohio emissions check. cool.

 

Also visited a few pull-a-parts..snagged up a Tach, door, fender, outback bumpers, scooped hood, cup holder, radio, dual piston front calipers, and a rubber trunk liner. need one more door......then all fresh alpine paint. I will also repaint the stock non scooped hood to swap around to see what like best

 

also tossed on a set of 16" vw wheels i had laying around last night

Nice! I have the same problem where the exhaust header meets the block. Did you weld the piece on the hole? Or did you get new headers.

 

Looking forward to see what you do next.

 

had one shop tell me i needed a new header...stopped anther one that does custom work. quick tack weld. said $10 flipped him a $20. :cool:

 

 

polished up the headlights

wagon looks like its coming along good man, i also come from a vw/audi background so i know what you mean about the simplicity of working on these motors, having all that space to work in the bay is insane!

 

thanks man

I have tons of parts...if its something that I don't have I can get my hands on it for pretty cheap. I've sold parts to a bunch of people on here before.

EJ20G heads & ECU? :)

It takes a bit more than that, lol. Quite a few people have turboed the EJ22 and there are some build threads on rs25 and nasioc. But unless you have all the parts laying around it can be quite expensive and you are just better off getting a turbo engine and swapping it.

 

I want EJ20G heads for my EJ22T, which is already a turbo engine. The 20G heads flow a lot better than the stock 22T heads. I want a 20G ecu so I can send it to rob and he puts in a performance chip. I was given a 22T for free and I am going to rebuild it and put it in my wagon. :)
