Boxer Diesel Transplant? Engine Dimensions?
subiemech85 replied to DPDISXR4Ti's topic in Subaru Transplants
'05 was a big year for emissions changes http://www1.eere.energy.gov/vehiclesandfuels/resources/proceedings/2005_deer_presentations.html autos are generally behind the times when it comes to emissions euro 5 is the future standard, and subaru is only at euro 4 http://www.euractiv.com/en/transport/euro-5-emissions-standards-cars/article-133325 Euro 5 standards for cars will further restrict emissions, from both petrol and diesel cars, of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and particulate matters (PM), which are considered harmful to human health. The tighter standards will apply as of September 2009 for new models of cars and in January 2011 for all new cars. The new Directive will also close the current loop-holes, under the Euro 4 Directive, for heavy sports utility vehicles (SUVs) and four-wheel drives above 2,500 kg. my '85 vw jetta 1.6 diesel has a HOT heater, even when terribly cold interesting to find out what subaru is trying to do for heat heat in a subaru, what's that?? -
what is your recipe for 136hp? seems like a number I see alot over there I have been checking the clutch catalogs and came across a 300mm clutch for the 100kw ea82t that has been discontinued http://toc.luk-as.de/toc/en/CF48E582E4444C4939392F1DB84B7A7E.srv;jsessionid=CF48E582E4444C4939392F1DB84B7A7E?view=VIndexFramesetJsp oil cooler will happen

Boxer Diesel Transplant? Engine Dimensions?
subiemech85 replied to DPDISXR4Ti's topic in Subaru Transplants
if you were to READ page 2 you would discover the answer bore x stroke 86 x 86 mm The BOXER DIESEL is almost as wide as an equivalent gasoline boxer engine, despite its elongated stroke, which is 19 mm longer than that in the gasoline boxer. Its length is 61.3 mm less. Its compactness is revolutionary. One can easily observe it inside the engine compartment of the Legacy mode the BOXER DIESEL gave outstanding powerful performance in the high-speed ranges, between 2500 rpm and 4000 rpm, which no other conventional diesel engine had demonstrated. Legacy test vehicles were sent to Europe for evaluation, going through stringent tests in the high temperatures and high altitudes around Granada, Spain, as well as assessments for cold weather driving in Scandinavia and areas close to the North Pole. Each of 10 Legacy vehicles ran 100,000 km—a total of more than one million kilometers under a diverse set of conditions. On the characteristics of the BOXER DIESEL, Maeda adds, “Without balancer shafts, the BOXER DIESEL provides the driver with a direct feel for surging engine rotations. When stepping on the accelerator, the driver feels quick engine response that no other diesel engine can offer. For example, the engine reacts superbly in acceleration from 80 km/hr to 120 km/hr on highways.” Thanks to a bore pitch shortened from 113mm to 98.4mm, the overall engine block length is only 353.5mm compared to the petrol's already compact 414.8mm. carpages uk Special, short-length solenoid injectors ensure the engine’s width is no greater than that of the 2.0 litre ‘boxer’ petrol unit, despite the diesel’s longer piston stroke. good info including gear ratios http://www.automobilesreview.com/reviews/classleading-features-boxer-diesel-forester/4511/ -

waiting for WRX stDi -
you could do it, and keep the same problems, timing belts, finicky cooling system, crappy carbs, and points, less power gl1000

apparantly not as the grass is still green and growing, no brown and dead spots from the leaking oil! problem with touring wagon is no sun roof

how else would he remove the head? even if the pushtube is bent, the valve can still operate BTDT

Noisy Shifter 89 GL
subiemech85 replied to SoobieKoralli's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
check your gear lube when I switched from 80w90 to hydraulic / trans fluid the shifter is "noisy" especially in top row gears -
look at what I circled, it may be the "key" to solving the puzzle theory: whatever it was, part of it was stuck at the valve seat, when the valve tried to close, it lost it's head, and upon piston down stroke the head got lodged between the piston crown and cylinder head in the up stroke, since the piston rod must move, the piston corwn curmbled adding more debris and finally stopping the crank and perhaps part of whatever it was, is circled in orange, also went for a ride on the other cylinder perhaps it came from the carb, definately looks like it went through the intake system

Photoshop my Project XRBrati
subiemech85 replied to DPDISXR4Ti's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
as you requested: used eyedrpper to copy color from hood, paintbucket @ 300 zoom to make purdy, pencil to correct lines for paint bucket, lasso to select merkat, and paste into it's own -
basically looking in the cookbook for the right recipe not looking for more than 150hp, as that seems to be the limit of cheap reliability and don't even mention EJ swap came across this tidbit: http:// http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=69302&highlight=piston Thing is - all that work is a huge waste of money when there's EJ22T's out there to be found that don't need any of the special work to be good to 300+ HP - something you will NEVER make reliably with an EA82T. 200 HP is possible, but 175 is more likely the highest you really want to go for reliability. The race spec EA82T's were 170. GD and also found this juicy morsel: http://www.prosubaru.com/tech/engswap.htm All non-turbo camshafts are identical year to year, and have a larger lift and duration than Turbo cams, good for a calculated 5-10hp on a stock Turbo motor. Finally, use of non-turbo pistons in a turbo motor WILL work perfectly, and is how we rebuild ALL of ours. This will give 130hp instead of the meager 111hp, the only drawback is you must either retard the timing 2°or use premium fuel (93). Add non-turbo cams to that and you have close to 137hp!!! also considering piston options for 92mm bore: http://www.prosubaru.com/tech/engspecs.htm looks like ea71 ea81 ea82 er27 ej205 ez36 all share the same bore given that, which of these pistons will connect with the rods, fit in the case, increase the CR, also what is the length from cl of wrist pin to top of crown and to bottom of skirt???

what is the status of this car, a pancake? -
time for the "Italian Tuneup" take it out and flog it found while googling http://www.mercedesshop.com/shopforum/archive/index.php/t-32202.html Is it bad to drive like this real often like everyday, and especially on weekends? I always average about 95 MPH when i drive to bakersfield on the weekends for 2 hrs, when theyre not doing something stupid on the road, like a sign says "expect delays", so everyone slows down and absolutely nothing is going on or "traffic jam" so everyone creates one just to prove the sign right..... :mad: Stupid californians!!!!

My new 1986 XT won't start, help?
subiemech85 replied to derburger's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
there SHOULD be a SCREEN in the INLET of the PUMP I removed the screen and associated old lines, and installed a 140 micron filter with 1/2" hose fittings that was listed as a CASE DIESEL fuel strainer because I also switched to carb system, used VW VANAGON? fuel filter with 1/2" outlet and 5/8" inlet, and reversed the driection of flow so that it worked to go from metal filter to fuel pump see if there is somewhere you can bring in the car at school, maintenance facility, diesel shop, something when I was in diesel school, recharged AC and did oil change in the shop, one kid changed his fuel pump, and another replaced front end parts and axles, there was also an engine swap that turned into a class project as an option 5 gallon can in trunk with hoses running through body holes -

:banana: 21 mpg!! '86 gl-10 ea81 :banana: if'n you don't know, '86 gl-10 pb 4x4 5spd, with ea81 engine and rad, with ea82 intake and carb, and also xt6 alt. most driving 55-60 mph in 4th gear, 3,000 to 3,300 rpm, and some strong wind fuel: 50% e85 and 50% 90 octane from sinclair 4x4 and cruise control, what a nice combo
