Flunk

Yeah. Ill make some calls tomorrow and find out some prices. I have a feeling it wont be worth it for my river toy.

Well that answers my question for 2 out of the set, still need allot more though lol. edit: So genuine HG\'s and cheapo on rest would be adequite?

Yeah i had thought about calling dealer in town and finding a price, expecting it to be rather expensive though. The prices ive found in Chch are only for cheap/composite gaskets as well.

Hey fellas, So i\'m doing a complete rebuild on BG5. Had a quick look at gasket sets in Chch and looking at a few hundred bucks. Found one on Ebay for ~$120, dont care if shipping takes weeks. Just wanted a 2nd opinion on weather or not this would be the correct set. 96 BG5A, EJ20HDWAJE, is what i\'m working on. http://www.ebay.com/itm/400269471442?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 This is the ebay set im looking at buying.

Just to satisfy my own curiosity, I\'ve started looking at removing bc loom, and re-looming the bg. Its not looking like as much of a nightmare as i was expecting.

Yeah im thinking engine/loom/ecu swap may end up in too hard bin. Sell all the RS parts and repair engine for wagon.

wiring loom and plugs all "look" the same, i will compare them more closely tomorrow. The other thought i had which i will investigate tomorow is can i use existing loom and swap ecu only? Just a thought.

Yes both cars manual boxes. As for compression, no idea. Its only low on 1 cylinder. Has been this way ever since my brother in law got his bush mechanic cousin to do some work on it, so it is possible that its only something minor, but not sure if I can be bothered trying to fix it, thats why i was hoping to just make a swap. I swapped my brother in law a vr4 legnum, for both subbies always loved the legacies, owned a few.

Done some more investigating, definately different ecu\'s. As far as i can tell though all the sensors seem to be the same, all the ones i\'ve checked so far anyway. But none the less, i\'d rather play safe so will either swap loom + ecu, or repair BG\'s engine. EDIT: BG5 ENGINE - EJ20HDWAJE BD5 ENGINE - EJ20RDWEJE So just doing research about head etc to see if i can swap those.

Engine is out of Bg. Half way through pulling engine from bd. Guess ill figure it out if nobody has any info about this.

Yeah i figured that after looking at codes. Are there any major differences though, or is a swap still straight forward?

BG5A59D BD5C48D

Ok rookie question, fastest way to tell difference? I assume it will be something to do with AFM? Green AFM on BG Wagon ( no compression ) Orange AFM on RS Sedan.

So, I have a BG5 Legacy running low/no compression on one cylinder. I picked up a deregistered BD sedan, with engine in good nick. The intention was to pillage any spare parts needed to repair the wagon. Then my wife asked why I dont just swap the engine over completely. So that is my question, what would you choose? Also i will e dismantling / selling anything left over from BD.
