SBT Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 OP, welcome to the site and glad you could join us. I'm also questioning why you'd want to pull everything out of what sounds like a great running 1st Gen 98 OB only to go further back to a 1st Gen 93 Legacy. And before you ask why it looks like a typo, the 96-99 OB is built on the 95-99 Legacy platform, but it's still considered a 1st Gen Outback, just like the 2000-2004 Outbacks are considered a 2nd Gen Outback and so-on/so-forth. The Project 818 is a pretty sweet project car that could use the bits that you have in your 98 since most of it's crossed directly to the 02-07 WRX platform that's needed for that project. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum -
monkeyposeur Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I apologize OP, every so often we have a few troll posts and there have been a ton of "I want to turbo my xxx" threads so I thought your's was a joke. Just about everything should swap over but you might have to do a wiring harness merge. Did you do the wrx swap on the 98? If so, then I'd doubt you would need any help swapping everything into the 1st gen. If you want to use the wrx ecu then a harness merge is a must. The 93 engine bay is a bit smaller than a wrx so the 04 intercooler is a tight fit. You may have to shave the throttle body or bash in the firewall to squeeze it in. An XT tmic fits nicely so consider swapping that in. As far as the drive shaft I don't know if you will have to use a different or custom one. I'd ask this specific question on bbslegacycentral for a definitive answer.
bacon and turbos Posted February 7, 2014 Author Posted February 7, 2014 because the 1998 wagon is 405.000km old, rotten rocker, leaking gas tank, the doors dont have the rubbers, one door is shaved, where's no brakes on rear wheels and it's winter time here in Quebec, Canada. It's my 3rd subaru, those 3 were wagon, i want a clean car, rust free car and the legacy 1993 i want is cheap and rust free, there's no engine, brakes, suspensions are new... it would be great to re-use my actual mecanic in something else because i can sell my 405.000km for maximum.. 2000-2500$. With 2000$, there's nothing funnier than my car.
mnstrmech Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 No offense, but laying that all out in the first post would've been helpful to begin with. Then everyone wouldn't think this is a joke.
USLiberty Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 I think you might need a 1st gen turbo legacy front subframe or a jdm gc8 wrx subframe... to clear the turbo exhaust manifold. Also need a 1st gen legacy 5speed driveshaft, the awd auto/MT driveshafts are different length. You'll also need the cable speedo gear insert from the 1st gen 5 speed, because your wrx trans uses an electronic speedo.. unless this has already been done, I don't know the 98's very well. The wiring harness is another story.... lots of work but at least your insurance will be cheap and in a few years you will be able to register for historic plates, in some states anyways. LOL

My next project car! Screw the 2 dr impreza autox build! Now if they could only make it awd. So I can finally afford something like a tommy kaira zz2 like in GT6 on ps3.[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrGPniW1iqg&feature=youtube_gdata_player]818 Sports Car Introduction Video - YouTube[/ame]
