Parts interchangeability.

Recommended Posts

Hi all. I've been toying with the idea of swapping out my faulty auto for either a replacement auto box, or trying my hand at a manual swap. I've been looking around for information regarding part interchangeability between subaru models and years. Unfortunately all the info I'm getting is from American sites, and I'm not sure if that info can be trusted! The subarus they get might be a bit different in construction to ours.....Apparently Legacies share a fair few parts with Imprezas? The reason I'm asking is that there is an almost complete 'manual swap' available off the internet, with parts derived from a 1995 GT Legacy wagon. I'm wondering how well the parts would mate up to a 1998 Impreza. The parts supplied are:

- Gearbox

- Clutch

- Starter motor

- Slave cylinder including master cylinder and lines

- Clutch & brake pedals

- Shifter

- Rear diff

- Tail shaft

- Flywheel, pressure plate & drive plate.

- Gearbox crossmember

The legacy gearbox fits an impreza ej20, and it comes with a matching rear diff, so the gear ratios will work out.From what I gather, these Legacy rear diffs fit Imprezas, but Impreza axles DON'T fit Legacy diffs? Correct, or am I on the piss? Feedback appreciated! Cheers.

You're correct in your research that many parts are interchangeable. My Legacy is now a jigsaw puzzle of various years/models of Subaru mixed together.

Looking at that list, generally all those parts can be swapped between models (and years) but you can sometimes run into issues you mention, things like axles and diffs not mixing etc. If they are both r160 viscous lsd's, then I think they should fit together. Your 98 Impreza should have a matching r160 lsd in it but if the axles don't fit, you can sometimes also swap either the cv joints or the actual lsd unit inside the diff (requires a specialist) so that your current axles can remain.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
