Baddog's 96 Red Legacy Wagon turbo plans

[Baddog]

Hey guys, been awhile. Some of you remember my green 96 Legacy that caught fire last year. I have been back in this 96 Legacy wagon for about half a year. However I left it stock and just brought it back to life. She had 273k on her when I got it for $600 with a bad automatic transmission. Thankfully I had one so I swapped it in and did a tune up and oil change on it and have been driving it for almost 3k miles with no issues.

Since then I have done a few things and I don't have an updated picture currently but I will get one soon!

JDM Projector Headlights
17x7 MB Weapons w/ 225/45/17 BFGoodrich Sport Comp-2 A/S's (rims are the ones from my green Legacy)
Outback bumper
WRX Front and rear brakes

Here is how she looked when I got her.

The plans are

EJ257/EJ205 Hybrid (02-03 WRX harness swap/merge)
HTA71
JDM STi 4.44 Transmission
Lowering springs on STI struts

Going for around 350/350 to save the transmission some yet be faster than the swapped GC I have.

This is how she currently looks.

Up next :RFRB Grille, Paint matched hood + bumper, and then paint the low beam and turn signal portions black.

STI Struts + Cusco lowering springs soon to be installed

I like where this is going, How are you controlling this beast? (ECU Wise)

Having the harness merged by Iwire. I have a 95 Impreza with an EJ205 swap with a merged harness from them and it was nice! I will continue to just pay them to do it for me.

It will use an 03 WRX ECU on a Carberry speed density tune.

ACT HD SS Clutch ordered. Pics will follow once the engine build takes shape. But things are coming a long. I have 3 other swaps ahead of mine currently.

Welcome to the Wagon Side.

Got parts coming in. 71HTA Turbo will be here next week. After that I have to hold off on this swap for a bit while I try to desperately find a good 95-97 Impreza shell since I crashed the other one.

05 JDM Turbo Trans with a 4.44 w/ rear LSD.
