My warm and fuzzy Subaru Dealership
subiemech85 replied to GeneralDisorder's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I have had good luck with aftermarket, as long as the parts have the 3 magic words "MADE IN JAPAN" carquest intake manifold gaskets are the good type with steel core felpro valve cover gaskets complete set with the grommets, look exactly like my NOS set Napa exhaust manifold gaskets with the metal seal ring and core -
found it in the jy under the hood of a 04/81 ea81 wagon, 5spd it has a line going from the oil FILL cap to a round canister about the size of a small coffee can on the right side of the x-member with another line going somewhere what is it, and what does it do? definately aftermarket the windchill was about 20*f so I didn't look much.

windo-weld is your friend! and a liberal application of swazall makes all go smoother keep the trans in, someone may need the spare, unless it's an issue of specific gearing -
Cutting out at 4500rpm? updated and SORTED!
subiemech85 replied to Johnnyboy's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I had the cut out issue until the idle adjusting screw fell out, then it wouldn't idle, but also wouldn't cut out I get the low power issue when I run E85, but I have gotten used to it until I get bigger injectors -

Are you at your wit's end and can't make it idle right? Check your throttle cable! If it idles excessively fast, something may not be set right, check for proper tension before you mess with the idle speed screw. If it idles too slow and the idle screw does not help, and no problems found, tighten the cable. If setting the idle speed on fuel injected, the idle switch must be activated, and a connector may need to be connected. use an accurate tachometer, a phototach is preferred, and BDC #1 is a good place to put the mark on the flywheel

O2 sensor "cheat" ??
subiemech85 replied to subiemech85's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I cut the E85 with 2g of E10 89octane when i need more power downshifting because of the wind BLOWS now I am thinking either a potentiometer or rheostat so I can get it set where needed, measure the resistance, then install the proper resistor I'll quit trying when either A: the engine blows up B: I get it set right C: regular gas is really cheap -
is there a way to make the computer think the afr is 14 when it is actually 9 I only got 16mpg, vs. 20 on E10 I'm guessing it's because the computer is always trying to dump in extra fuel any other tips for tuning for E85?

Ea82t Hose to air intake duct
subiemech85 replied to Lazer's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...

Ea82t Hose to air intake duct
subiemech85 replied to Lazer's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
that is the idle bypass line you may want to incorporate a fitting for the line it takes filtered air from above the throttle plate to below the throttle plate -
use a test light, going from one side to the other should go from full bright to very dim
