eekay Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 Does anyone on this thread know what year of the WRX swap is best for out BD's? Any EJ* engine will pretty much bolt right up for a swap. The choice is really up to you. Although, if you plan on running a lot of boost I would recommend a closed-deck block like an EJ20G or a completely closed-deck block like the EJ22(T). that poor rex atleast you came up on alot of goodies with it Yup! 'Tis sad. But, it'll all be revived and Frankenstein'd into a BD so it's all good. My 9.3 cups EJ22 makes me feel like my **** is 2.8 decimeters!

eekay Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Nothing major yet. In the next two to three weeks I'll be doing the motor and possibly the transmission swap though. I'll post pictures and stuff. My 9.3 cups EJ22 makes me feel like my **** is 2.8 decimeters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sti_044 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 that impreza isnt bad but the head and tail lights are hideous! Gonna be a sweet swap though. I plan on buying a wrecked STi and swapping it into my wagon with Adaptronics standalone. It will be quite some time before that though, a house would benefit me much more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I really like that body style but I'm such a Legacy guy that I couldn't bring myself to own one... We will, however, be using that Impreza body for a rally car. I can't wait to beat that thing up in the coolest way. There will be many, MANY pictures and videos in the future. My 9.3 cups EJ22 makes me feel like my **** is 2.8 decimeters!

sti_044 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I have a wagon, I've slept in it. It's not the most comfortable thing but it does the trick. And yea I do like the impreza's but how many Ken Block fanboi Legacy guys have you met? Nothing against imprezas or the owners, but there are SO many young kids buying/getting WRXs and STis it makes me sick. Every Legacy guy I have met has been awesome, usually pretty knowledgeable or at least honest and not BSing their way through a conversation acting like they know everything. I have gained SO much knowledge from bbs.legacycentral.org from my first 5 first-gen legacies and now I'm in the second gen and I love it... I just don't love the NA Auto haha, thats why it will be changed as soon as I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyposeur Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 +1 for bbs.legacyentral. There is an overwhelming amount of info over there along with some of the most knowledgeable subaru guys out there. sti_044, what first-gens did you have? Did you have an SS or two? I love mine! It still needs some upgrades and a few bugs worked out after I replaced the HGs. I gave it to my wife and now she won't share it, lol. But she'll be jealous after I do the swap into my wagon.

sti_044 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I got a 93 legacy wagon NA from my grandma for free for my first car and loved it. That thing took a beating. Just imagine the stupid things a wagon full of high school males would do, it did it all. Went to a 93 turbo leg that was rear ended which made me rear end the car in front of me, sold that and bought a pretty well build RWD turbo leg (the radioflyer is it's nickname if you've heard of it). Tranny started going out and couldnt afford to fix it so I sold it and bought a stock 91 SS and did all of the work myself and had it pretty decked out. revtronics stage 2 chip with a td05, I could light up all 4 tires easily. Couldn't stop putting money into it (mods, upgrades, maintenance, etc.) so I sold it and bought a 92 FWD auto to get me buy til I could find a car worth making payments on which ended up being my current wagon. So this is my 6th Legacy. I had an MR2 after my first wagon but other than that every car I've owned has been a Legacy haha Sorry not trying to hijack your thread. and yes, more pics would be great +1 for bbs.legacyentral.

monkeyposeur Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Ooooh, I love radioflyer! I came across a Rio Red SS w/5MT here in SLC at a crappy used car auto lot. Garage kept and clean. Wish I could have bought it but I already had my black SS. If I was rich I would get a warehouse and stockpile first gen tleggys. But I digress, sorry eekay, lol.
