Going by that it just looks like a normal 2 ltr turbo engine same as the uk car of 1995, therefore running a td05 90 degree turbo and producing 208bhp.

On the vin plate there should be a GC8 serial number ie my 1995 car is GC8C47D.

Post that up and I may be able to help you.

Hi,

G = Impreza.

F = Sports wagon.

8 = 2 Litre turbo.

B = MY 1994.

L = ? Not listed for any year, (Door code, ie 2 door, 4 door)

8 = WRX.

D = Five speed manual.

Main differences between the Legacy and Impreza engines are, different turbo charger and intercooler, Lagacy has a water to air intercooler, hydraulic lash adjusters.
