Hi Ken,
Thanks for hosting the bugeye manuals. I thought it would only be fair to offer my 06 manuals. Please contact me if you are interested.
Happy New Year!

Ken,
thanks for your,s and Erics help . It appears that the manuals are for the 2.2ltr and 2.5ltr engines and my engine is a 2ltr. I am thinking these are US models and mine is an Australian model.I think most sections other than the engine will be of benefit to me.If someone has the manual on the 2ltr NON Turbo 99 model ,that would be the one i was really after.Thank you once again and I will keep an eye out if you post them in the future.
Cheers Mark

Hey, I’m looking for a 1997 Impreza manual. There were some sight changes in the 1998 models to the evaporation systems. I have a p1440 code that I can not diagnose because I don’t have any info on where the sensor is. I have been through all the manuals looking for it but have found nothing. I know it is a Fuel Tank Pressure Control System Low Input but I don’t know what this system is. More info here. Thanks!

pdftown.com has a 97-98 Impreza pdf 174 MB which is linked to rapidshare in 2 parts but both appear to be the same other than the packed size?
Cheers

In regards to the rapidshare site for the 97-98 Rx impreza manuals. I have downloaded them and they are the same, there is no difference in the copies. They Skip some information, and they do not contain important information such as torque settings and clearances for setting up or rebuilding a motor. How different is the 97-98 EJ20 N/A motor compared to previous or subsequent year models?

Ken,
Great resource!! Any idea where I might get a JDM 2.0T engine manual? I’m putting a 2.0T in our 00 RS and need to do a total rebuild to the engine prior to installation. Do I need to get the serial numnber or model of the engine to get the right manual? I’m an racer and engine rebuilder, but new to JDM. Thx

Hey Ken,
Do you have anything for a 98 STi Coupe? Thanks!

jose: yes it is. the only difference is noted in the engine sections: the DOHC engine is the 2.0l turbo (wrx).
Reply
okay…so there is no diference in the transmission? because i need to replace my second gear
Reply
do you know of any place where i can just buy the gear instead of having to buy a gear set?
Reply
no, no difference in tranny, other than ratios and/or center diff transfer ratio (watch the front vs. rear end ratios.. they must be equal once the transfer case is factored in). the cases, etc, are identical.
iirc, the gears come in pairs… 1+2, 3+4, then 5th. so you’d need 1+2. they CAN be ordered without ordering the entire gearset. check the parts diagrams/list here: http://www.ken-gilbert.com/wrx/mans/subie-impreza-outback-02-04-parts.pdf once you have a part # start calling dealers…
good luck!

Holy crap Ken; this has taken off a bit since I last visited. Nice work Sir.
My thanks again for the original WRX service manual that I pinched from you. It has been invaluble, even more so since I managed to get the speach recognition working on my laptop. Long gone are the days of thumb prints all over an ever deteriorating service manual. There are a few pages missing which is why I have returned. I see you’ve now broken it down into several different files, presumeably you were aware of the issue.
I now also have a PDF copy of the 1992 Legacy service manual which I don’t think I sourced through you. If you would like a copy to add to the collection feel free to e-mail me and I’ll forward it on. The entire copy is just under 10mb.

scrap those last two lines in the first paragraph about missing pages etc. I’ve found them, and talking bollocks. Congratulations on the new addition to the family BTW. Well done Kristen.
