  1. I hope my little wonderful diagram works :-p leave the turbo duty solenoid connected electrically, otherwise it throws a code, but you do not need any lines connected to it. Just run a line from turbo outlet to wastegate. run line from intake manifold to a T with one line going to the boost sensor for the dash, it's small and round, and the other to the canister from the canister one line goes to the hvac, and the other goes to the 4wd / dif lock
  2. or if the covers "happen to break" don't bother putting them back on!
  3. split boots are crap check your mounts engine / trans
  4. it's the same alt. for ea81/2 I just scored a 90a xt6 alt, it fit in my toolbox while I was at the j/y I then took it to autozone to have it tested, works fine!
  5. an actual pic of in-car location would be very helpful, especially with a red arrow pointing to it.
  6. what works? I heard the wagon wheel centercaps fit, but have had no luck wheels as seen here: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?p=382812#post382812
  7. where is it? what does it look like? the fsm makes no sense on the issue '89 rx loves to give me intermittent ECS light and 22 also has a bad habit of being grumpy when I try to lug it driving about 20 mph, floor it, usually in 3+ it goes "blah" and feel jerks 3 times then makes good boost about 2k rpm it's so annoying it disagrees with me when i try to drive it like a diesel, (keep the rpm low, and floor it after every gear change)
  8. 185/65 r 15 http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Winterforce&tireModel=M%2BS&vehicleSearch=false&partnum=865SR5WFORCE&fromCompare1=yes&place=6 they work good, no issues of clearance when unloaded, and speedometer is accurate they do just fine on the snowmobile trails with the 3" of light powdery snow another 3" is coming, so more haven't had any issues forward or reverse up and down hills in the d/r RX
  9. I had a mystery leak, found it one day! check the hose that runs from engine to firewall that is closest to clutch lever mine had been rubbed just enough to make a s l o w leak
  10. what is the correct oil for the lsd, and what works good? are additives required? no search results, 3 letter words
  11. the port closest to the firewall goes to the inkake manifold the port closest to the engine goes to the HVAC and 4wd or difflock BTDT
  12. STAY OFF THE BOOST! don't leave the jugs of water in the car
  13. yesterday I called board 911, McBrat, and told him the board exceeded its bandwith limit, and he said, well, atleast it's the end of the month!
  14. 3. the GROUND is behind the grill, open the hood, remove 2 screws pull forward and up by where the hood cable would be, there is a black tube with 2 black wires, with a ring terminal that has a bolt in it that connects to the metal, this is the GROUND btdt
  15. at least it keeps time, unlike the ea81's is there some hidden function??
  16. let's start with the easy stuff. 1. the FUSE! 2. the SWITCH! do you hear a click when key on lights on, turn on switch? 3. the GROUND! it's behind the grill got pics of lights??
  17. for easy access pull down the glovebox, just pull in the sides and push down I've found that the most convenient place for my uniden pc68ltw is standinng up on the floor leaning against the console. I had a conversation with a dirver, and both ends sounded like talking on a telephone also had swr meter set about 1.5 with 2 watts and a little wil on the rear gate of the rx drove 1,000+ miles with it on, no "regular" radio :drool:
  18. you should have 12v from one side for all connectors one set usually has 12v on both sides, mine's black
  19. but it sure is fun telling stories of I have more rust than you, and it still goes even with all it's problems
  20. I got creative and made my own! it only cost $ 10 for materials 3"x2" reducing bushing 1-1/2" pvc coupling 2" flexible elbow also added the pcv filters and hooked up the yellow line for wastegate
  21. "Don't forget manifold metal gaskets" buy the ones from NAPA with the metal sealing rings
