Can a manual transmission from a 1999 RS handle an engine from a 2002 WRX without exploding?

jamal posted:looks like water pump seal. $8 part, but takes a bit of work to replace. A bit? Doesn't it require removal of the timing belt?

Lord Gaga posted:On EJ motors typically you replace the water pump as the same time as the timing belt and if you buy a "timing belt kit" it usually includes a water pump. As you and many others have seen it was a really really bad idea not to. ST is service or Subaru tool. I haven't done this job myself but I'd suggest looking on NASIOC to see if you need a Subaru tool. The Crank pulley can be removed without the Special tool,you can just put a breaker bar on the socket and turn the engine over for just a moment

So here is something odd. I've been using http://opposedforces.com/parts/impreza/us_g10/ to look up parts for my Subaru RS project. There are two listing for my car: 2500CC EMPI SOHC NA 2500CC EMPI SOHC NA Most of the parts seem t be identical, but in the body area, it seems that there are two dates of note: The first is 97, December — '99, June and the second is '98, August — '00, June. My vehicle is made in 04/99. What gives? Some kind of mid year model change?

SOHC or DOHC for the 99 - 01? The engine in the 99 that I have has 2 camshaft pulleys, and the 98 has 4 pulleys. Or maybe they are both DOHC? Edit - Engine code is EJ253AWLVB. Edit2 - According to Wikim It appears this engine was only used for one year, and then not used again until 2005? That seems really odd. daslog fucked around with this message at 12:05 on Apr 18, 2012 |

Iron Lung posted:Welp, my 2006 WRX is spraying coolant, but I can't figure out where. Problem started yesterday when I went to the store yesterday and smelled fantastic maple syrup. A little research into that smell today lead me to believe it might be a coolant enough, and sure enough when I opened my hood it looked like someone had slaughtered a Predator under my hood. Coolant tank was low but not empty, and I haven't noticed any stains on my driveway. I was going to suggest the cap. Did you try just letting it idle for 20 minutes with the Hood up?

Iron Lung posted:I didn't. A coworker and I ran up to the store to grab some root-beer float supplies (its 102 today!) and we just ran it for a few minutes before we headed back. I can leave it running on idle when I get home for awhile, should I just be looking for bubbling/spraying from the cap if that ends up being the culprit? Do I just need a replacement cap if that ends up being the issue? Yes, look for spraying from the cap. The cap can sometimes look like it's on, but not be seated correctly. Hopefully, this is your issue. If it is fully seated, and starts spraying water, I'd start with a New cap,as they are fairly cheap.

MrZig posted:I'm officially picking up a 2002 WRX motor on Saturday to replace the dying 2.5RS in my wagon. Yea, that's almost a "too good to be true" type deal. I'd be suspicious. Just a longblock of a working WRZ motor is at least $2000 to $2500.

Does this engine drop into a 2004 WRX easily? http://www.ccrengines.com/id26.html Would I need a new wiring harness and/or ECU? (Is this overpriced?)

Side note: We have been driving one of these as a Demo vehicle for the last 2 weeks. I really like how smooth the 6 speed automatic is. I also found myself downshifting with the paddle shift on off-ramps and was pleasantly surprised to find the computer is smart enough to know when to go back to automatic mode.

Kolta posted:It's in an awkward place and really looks like it's coming from the head, but you could be right it might be leaking from the valve cover but I'm not convinced. I would need to poke around some more remove the exhaust and oil filter cause it's directly in the crevice next to the filter. Never mind. Does a 2006 head gasket leak internally or externally?

Safety Dance posted:I have a new Outback, and I don't drive a lot (having a 3 mile commute and commuting most days on a motorcycle will do that). I'm getting close to my 7.5 month service interval, but I'm only at 5,100 miles. I guess I should do what the manual says and take it in at the end of the month? Unless you are taking your car to the track on weekends/driving it like a rally car/beating the crap out of it, simply follow the manual and don't think twice about it. It makes very little sense to spend $20,000 on a car and then skimp out on the regular maintenance.

I think that is just a rocker panel cover, so it's probably a new cover and two new doors. $1500?

The 3" exhaust fart Muffler can on my Impreza is way too loud. I have a Mig welder and like to build my own things. Has anyone here ever made (or heard of) someone making a catback exhaust on their own? I would have to use pipe bends from Autozone. Edit: Will a 2004 WRX catback fit on it? I have one of those laying around here. daslog fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Aug 20, 2012 |

I'm going to tackle the brakes on my 99 RS next. I'm pretty sure that there is at least one stuck caliper. Any tips or tricks I should be aware of? I'm thinking that I can just swap the calipers from the 98 in for the bad ones on the 99.

I have 79k miles on the car should I just replace the axles? A pop? It's usually a "click click click." Get a friend to listen while you drive around in circles in a parking lot.

In a shocking development, I have discovered that the suspension is bent on my RS project car. It looks like both lateral links on the driver's side and the trailing arm. 1) Is it worth it to buy something aftermarket, or should I just grab the links from the 98 parts car? 1a) Will these come of easily, or will I have to burn off the bushings? (which makes it not worth using the parts car?) 2) The Trailing arm just has a slight bump on the bottom. Does it look ok to keep on there?

c355n4 posted:The aftermarket links and arms are pretty expensive. Or at least the ones I'd trust like from whiteline. They will give you more control over the camber and toe if you care. Stock, they use a eccentric bolt in the rear subframe to control the toe.  I ended up burning it out. Any recommendations for bushings?
