  1. which plugs? The ECU end or the engine end?

     

    Wait a minute.

     

    This is a 9/86 motor?

     

    Isn't that late enough to be considered an 87 model year?

     

    In my experience, though the plugs between 87 and 88 are different, the bulk of the wiring is the same. Depends all on how enterprising or desperate you are.

  2. Well that would probably solve all issues. Cool.

     

    so if you get the engine harness and ECU you should be golden. i have the engine side harness and ECU as well....it'd all be the same car and would have to work...heck i'll send the entire intake manifold with the wiring on it which will bolt to your EA82T.
  3. I have a large Samoyed who in the past has gotten destructive like this. He only did it during thunderstorms. I learned quickly not to leave him unattended during storms. I put him in his crate so no longer damaged anything nor hurt himself. No idea what happened to him in his past that caused such a problem with storms.

     

    If the dog is left unattended and just tied up outside I am sure it gets bored just like you and I would. A dog should not be kept like that.

  4. Have you done your Loyale yet? I have a '92 that I recently purchased with high miles. I was going to convert to 5 speed. Picked up a dual range to put into it. Then I came across an '87 XT with a 1500 mile rebuilt engine in it for $50. So I am going to swap the XTs turbo engine in the Loyale. How much work is it to modify the XT's harness into the Loyale's? Is that even possible? What is the best harness for me to look for? Will a MFI harness work?

  5. fairly rare in the states i have seen one

     

    Well this 9/86 XT that I bought for $50 has it. Does anyone want it and parts that it controls? The kid I bought it from took the air compressor pump, and the front air springs don't seem to hold air. There is another set in the trunk. Also looks like a set of rear air shocks. The rear on the car has springs. I am going to take the engine out and few other drivetrain parts... wish it had an LSD... and junking the rest.

  6. your best bit would be to get a mpfi wiring loom (then you will only have to add the wires i do, or get an RX or GL10 loom that has all the wires you need.

     

    Do you think the wiring harness that is in the XT I have will work fine? Should I worry about the fact that the XT has a digital dash and the Loyale does not?

     

    Also, how common is it to have an XT with a button on the bottom left that is for height?

  7. I have a 1992 Subaru Loyale 4x4 that has a high mileage engine. I just picked up 1987 XT Turbo with a rebuilt engine for $50. The body is junk on the XT, so I figure I can put the fresh engine into the Loyale.

     

    What kind of problems can I expect with the wiring harness? Do I need to do anything special with the harness since the XT has a digital dash?

     

    Another thing, both are autos. The Loyale is a push button 3AT and the XT is a push button 4AT. I have a D/R 5 speed that I am putting in it. I was going to put the 5 speed in and replace the head gaskets on the Loyales engine. Now I will put it behind the turbo motor.

     

    Anyone have any suggestions for someone who has never worked on a Subaru? I have worked many vehicles, and down a few engine swaps, just never a fuel injection swap.

  8. My Loyale is a push button 3 speed auto. It is good to know that as long as I stick with a non turbo 5 speed front shafts are the same. It is U-Pull that I was planning on going to visit. I figure even if the transmission has up to 120k miles on it it should still be ok. I will obviously check it out before I buy it. I got the car cheap @$130, so I figure a little work like this is no big deal. Plus it should get better gas mileage than either my Land Rover or Land Cruiser. Or atleast one would think.

     

    Oh yeah the Stain Paul was a typo. I like St. Paul.

  9. I just purchased a 1992 Loyale with a 3 speed auto. I was in a local junkyard and there was another Loyale with a 5 speed push button and a 88 I believe with a 5 speed dual range. I have tried reading through all the postings, but I am still not sure what is needed for the swap. Reading I would assume the dual range is the way to go. Would it be good to buy the axle shafts? How about the rear driveshaft? I put a NV4500 into my Land Cruiser, but that seems a lot more straight forward. I just want to make sure that I grab everything I need while I am pulling stiff off. Anybody have a list of stuff that they would recommend I grab?
