crawlerdan · #1 02-17-2007, 08:41 PM

have a "brand new" ground up restoration 1994 legacy sport sedan

has a JDM wrx torbo motor with 30k on it 4 cam screamer!

18 inch alloy superlight wheels
5 speed
full exhaust, intercooler.
everything is new or rebuilt...everything

was painted 4 months ago to a tune of 3k

fast as hell, low 13s with no managment, 14 psi
clean as a pin, invested 12k in the last 6 months
have all reciepts, could easily sell for 8k or so

will trade for a clean svx that i wont have to work on, 5 speed is a plus, 97 is a plus as well

lemme know what you gat

Do you have a detailed writup on your conversion? I have a 92 Legacy and was thinking of such a swap. Sweet car by the way

crawlerdan · #6 02-19-2007, 08:11 AM

yes i do, and would be willing to pass it on- ill get to that this evening

ok, i used a wrx 2.0 billet flywheel, and clutch, mated to the legacy trans
motor mounts are the same

used the ej22t wire harness, sensors, maf, ecu...ect
grafted onto the ej20tt
which meant converting the coil on plug system to the ej22 single coil

other then that it was fairly straight foreward, and a very good swap, it weighs 30 lbs less and is making nearly twice the horsepower, more reliably

im making an estimated 325-350 horse compared to the 165 stock
the motor in stock trim (ej20) was 265 and i have added a catless stainless steel exhaust, header, uppipe, single vf8 turbo, manual boost controler at 13 psi. ported and polished dohc heads, custom valve train, slight overbore ,sleeved closed deck motor. cold air intake, ported intake and t.b....and some stuff im probably forgeting

it screams though, great swap

what do you have for a trans in it?? Hopefully not the stock leg tranny... If it has a wrx trans in it I may be game for a trade for my pearly 5mt

it has a rebuilt legacy 5mt with a wrx clutch and flywheel, no problems as of yet

TomsSVX · #10 02-26-2007, 09:45 AM

how do you have a legacy trans with a wrx clutch?? WRX clutches are pull type while leg's are push... unless its a turbo leg tranny with a 3.90 rear??

to the best of my knowlage, all turbo legies are 390 rear, 92 are lsd, 92-94 are not, but both are interchangable

the clutch and flywheel are 2002-2004 wrx, pull type

TomsSVX · #12 02-26-2007, 01:09 PM

yeah, so it was originally a turbo leg??
