  1. I'm currently working on the exhaust for this car and the intake will soon be built also. As for the intercooler i'm probably gonna wait until spring since the budget is kinda short at the moment. I'm not worried about problems overboosting at the moment. It's not like I keep my foot shoved to the floor all the time anyways.

  2. Car recently was tuned up with new cap, rotor, plugs. Fuel filter is new. The problem is the car runs awesome once the turbo kicks in and it takes off like a rocket. Now the thing is that I don't understand is that it gets up to 100mph and that's it. It acts like it's not getting enough gas or something. The car is an 86Turbo wagon with everything stock except a boost controller which is set at 11psi. Maybe i'm just expecting to much out of this little car. Also will higher elevation make my car slower. I tested at approximately 5500ft. Car has 111K on it and runs great.

  3. OK here's the deal I noticed I was leaking coolant underneath the thermostat housing. Found the leak and cut off the part that was leaking and reattached. Now it's almost to short. The other end attaches somewhere up under the intake manifold. Looks like it's gonna be a PITA to change. Anybody done this and have any ideas I'd appreciate it? I'm not sure how much longer this temporary fix will be that I have.

  4. since we're on the subject of timing belt replacement what's the longest anyone has seen a belt go before being replaced. My 86 Turbo GL-10 has 110K on it and i'm assuming it's been replaced but not for sure so I'm just wondering if it's gonna go before long or maybe it will last another 40K.

  5. I know this has been mentioned before but I didn't feel like going through old threads. I just found out that my exhaust has a hole in it right after the front catalytic convertor so I decided i'm going to redo the whole exhaust for a nice sound and performance. I'm going to be using new exhaust all the way and i'm going to use one cat where the second one now is. My question is what size of piping should I use as the motor is stock and the only thing I might modify in the future is the intake. I was thinking about going to 2.25 all the way with a high flow cat. Also what muffler would be best for performance. Was thinking about maybe using a glasspack but wanted to see what everyone else's opinions are?

  6. Ok here's the deal. Just bought a 86 Subaru GL-10 Turbo wagon. The car is awesome. Only has 107K on it. But I have a slight problem. When locking the doors only the 2 on the drivers side work. The passenger side work if locked by hand. What's the deal. I'm new to this forum and subaru's. Help me out if you can. BTW I got my subaru by trading a 93 Bonneville SSEi straight across. See now you know i'm nuts and I'm trying my best to deal with these crazy gas prices. Well enough rambling and just wanted to say hi and tell everyone what a great forum this is.
