Hello an Help Requqest!
If you only hear that clicking sound when the car is in motion, suspect the CV axle you repaired.

are there any EA82 power steering pump differences?
Don't know if all are the same but doubt it since there are 2 types of water pumps...short and long. I should have a pump from an 85 XT turbo around here somewhere if you can't find one for the 87. If your 87 is the turbo model then it should work. John

I still think you have an AFM problem. PM Gary as he knows which ECUs swap.

Will this work?
The XT6 and Legacy both use the same front wheel bearings. As for the front CV axles, the XT6 axles are actually significantly larger then the Legacy turbo axles so don't be concerned about XT6 front components.

99 EJ22 into 99 Forester EJ25 (long.....Help needed)
john in KY replied to wildwagonz's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXEmiley posted something about this sprocket a week or two ago. Can't recall the details but do recall there is a difference in the sprocket. Maybe someone else can recall her post and pull it up. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=88842

Leaking fuel!!!
john in KY replied to akjruthies's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIf you didn't touch the filler tube when the pump was replaced, I would not now suspect it. If you removed a bunch of fuel lines to replace the pump, I would suspect either a line is loose or now cracked.

ea82 rear wheel bearing removal HELP
Drum will probably never come off until you back off the shoes. Look for a slot on the backside of the brakes and use a screwdriver to back off the adjustor inside the brake drum.

why is 95 engine interchangeable but ECU is not?
john in KY replied to idosubaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXMy 95 wagon is OBDII.

Who Did This?
15 pounds is pushing the envelope but I ran 12-13 pounds in my old turbo wagon for 4 years with no problems. Ran 15 pounds for a few days but the engine pinged under load and I could tell by the deposits on the spark plugs the tops of the pistons were melting.

broken u-joint and leaking ATF
john in KY replied to babyfacefitz's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXBet you discover the tailhousing has cracked. Hope it's just the seal but you will very lucky if so. More damage was done if the car was towed with wheels down.

I recall reading that post around 10 years ago. The car and owner are probably both history now.

flapper maf tuning
Recall reading an article years ago that dealt with modifying this type. The car was a VW with a Bosch airflow meter. Author claimed reducing the tension of the flapper spring, along with a few other modifications, produced enough HP the engine ripped the engine mounts. I never could grasp how modifying the flapper so that it opened quicker could produce any appriciable HP gain.

87 XT ignition module
Found no ohm value for the CAS. Just a LED shining through 360 slots. Guessing it either works or doesn't. CTS: Test in water and the first test has me puzzled. @ 14F---7-11.5 kilo ohms. (How do you get water to 14F?) @ 68F---2-3 kilo ohms @ 122F--700-1000 ohms Edit: Just ralized you have an XT. Specs I provided are for the XT6. Probably the same. Air valve: YR wire goes to terminal #1 BW wire goes to terminal #2 YL wire goes to terminal #3 Between terminals 1 and 2---9.5 to 11.5 Between terminals 2 and 3---8.5 to 10.5 Between terminal 2 and the metal housing of the sensor--infinity. If you need another distributor, ECU and/or have any interest in an incomplete set of 1988 XT6 FSMs, missing chapter 1. PM me. John Edit #2. Ignore the above because what I have is for the XT6. A bad airflow meter will cause most of the problems you have described.

I'll see what I can find. Where in NE Ohio? Originally from the Warren/Youngstown area.

Neither is true. The XT6 has a FSM nd the ECU will store/flash DTCs.

john in KY replied to simbey1982's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXBest I can do is to tell you to goggle "Endwrench win 01". The article will show you what you did wrong. (Looking for the winter of 2001 endwrench publication.)

legacy knuckle in ea82 5 lug conversion
Used the FWD axles only because the length is close to the XT6 axle.

legacy knuckle in ea82 5 lug conversion
Miles, this combination worked for me when I converted my FWD XT6: 2002 hubs,springs and struts reused the XT6 top hats Legacy FWD axles Car maybe sits an inch higher in the front but has none of the problems you have described. The XT6 axles can be made to work with the newer style hubs. Just take the outer joint to a machine shop and have that seal surface machined down to accept the newer style grease seal. I had this done for something like $30 but for some reason didn't use the modified XT6 axles when I did the conversion. Wish I could remember why but can't. I don't think you will ever get the ride height right using the Legacy struts.

- head gaskets? or maybe not?
Automatic? May want to check the vacuum modulator on the transmission.- Need Help...Not Starting....
john in KY replied to simbey1982's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXQuite often the problem described is caused by using the wrong timing mark on the balancer. Seems everyone the first time they replace the timing belt makes this mistake.- Stupid question, please forvgive me...
Has to be screwed into the intake manifold somewhere. Look around on the backside of the manifold, maybe on the driver's side first. - head gaskets? or maybe not?
