   I’ve been reading some old threads on NASIOC, went to Scoobymods and visited this page. So far I can’t find a good definitive thread with pics of the safest/best way to port a turbo. I know that you are one of the experts. If you can point me in the right direction, or send me some pics of your own, that would be great.

2. Patrick, January 29, 2010:

   Just wanted to say thanks for making this info available. Hopefully now I can track down the source of some lingering problems.

3. Jeff, February 21, 2010:

   Will the 2006 Impreza Manuals also work for the 2007 STi?
   I just need to do the 60k maint. and need to know if much changed from these two years.

   Thanks man!

4. Ken, February 22, 2010:

   jeff: the ej257 (sti engine) is largely the same as the ej205 (wrx engine). the 60k maintenance covers the same issues.

   if it makes you feel better, use the earlier model year ej257 manual.

5. Julian, March 1, 2010:

   This is a really cool site!! lots of useful stuff, was wondering if you guys had a 2007 STI ECU pin out section or a 2007 STI service manual??

6. M. Jean Sigouin, March 11, 2010:

   Hi Ken,
   I have been looking for a repair manual for a Subaru 2002 Impreza Outback Sport (2.5L non-turbo) for over a month. Haynes or Chilton don’t seem to have them.

   Hoping you can help me love… euh tweak my car! thx ahead

7. lee, March 18, 2010:

   hi, this is a great resource! i’m looking to replace a fuse in my ’94 impreza, but the fuse box labels are all in japanese and i can’t tell which is which.

   do you have a diagram of these?

8. M. Jean Sigouin, March 26, 2010:

   btw, I downloaded your manuals at the top of the page… it DOES have what I need.

   You the man Ken. Thx a bunch.

9. George, March 27, 2010:

   Hi Ken, I’m looking for a 1998 Forester 2.0 N/A Service Manual, any chance you have it or let me know where to find it ? Thanks in advance.

10. Arturo Figueroa, March 30, 2010:

    Hi:

    I have a 1995 Impreza Wagon, automatic transmission with a 2.2L engine. The manual for the 1993-1997 that you have does not describe the 2.2L engine. Is there a manual that I can use to work on my car? or which of the engines shown in your manual is equivalent to the 2.2L wagon. I have problems with the front differential(?), where the two front axels connect and I probably need to remove it and put a used or rebuilt one. When I put the car in drive, most of the time it does not move but all of a suddenthe gears engage and the car jerks and stops moving again. I have replaced both front axels, so it is not the axels. Also there is loud noise from the front differential when it engages. Any ideas on the cause of this problem. Is it a problem with the differential?

    Thank you,

    Arturo

14. William Owen, May 27, 2010:

    How’s it going. About to buy a 1992 wrx with a 1999 sti transmission. Owner says that after about 15 minutes of driving or some hard driving that a noise starts up because the gears are now wrong. My buddy gave me a good 1999 rear diff off his wreck and I can swap that out no problem but it doesn’t make sense that that is what’s causing the problem could you claify if I’m just stoopid or getting the runaround. Thanks much

    Is there an issue with the 04 WRX Sti zip file? I’ve tried to download it twice and it will not open. Indicates as unidentified file tyre or corrupted content. Please reply

18. Speedy B from France, July 20, 2010:

    Dear Ken,

    Many thanks and congratulations from France for this impressive library !

    Changing the engine of the ’99 model to give “her” second birth should be no problem with the help of the docs you provide.

    Friendly regards 😉

    Thanks a million for the 99-01 impreza manuals!!!!

20. Mike Cramer, September 8, 2010:

    Ken,

    I have a transmission seal leaking fluid and tried looking it up in your manuals. it is a seal going in to the tranny from the shifter linkage, and is located up and further back from where the drive shaft meets the tranny. Have any idea of what I’m talking about?

    Thanks,

    Mike

21. Ben H, September 26, 2010:

    Thanks
    Just bought a lemon. I’ll be needing the 99-01 impreza manuals.

22. Mark C, October 14, 2010:

    Thanks very much for the reference material, any chance you’ll be getting your hands on the later models?

    Cheers,

    Ken

    is there a quick or easy way to reach the heater matrix on a 95 WRX

24. Ken, October 26, 2010:

    unfortunately i’ve never had a car where the heater core was “quick” or “easy” to get to.

    🙁

26. David, November 3, 2010:

    Ken, Ive seen different copies of the 2004 WRX STi service manual and all of them don’t have a H4DOHC section for the WRX engine. Is the section I should be using for the non-STi Turbo DOHC engine the STi section? There have been several times where the manual tells you to refer to the DOHC section but there isn’t one..I’m confused. Know anything about this?

    Hi
    i have rebuld my scooby motor, and have same problem with the starter turning the motor to slow to start. HELP PLEASE

29. Brad, November 20, 2010:

    I have two faults that I need direction.

    I have a Clifton Manaual for my 1994 impreza 1800 (not much use)

    1) I had a new battery go flat almost overnight .Current drain of more than 0.8 Amps permanently -at same time intermittent buzzing of a relay under the glove compartment until I removed the relay marked SBF#1.
    Now I have no window motor contol – I assume central locking and window control is on this relay .

    2)I have lost the Aircon – have never worked on a magnetic clutch unit before .
    Should the clutch have a 13.8V or ground supply to actuate the aircon magnetic clutch.

    Thanks in advance.

    Brad
