  1. BTDT: used the complete exhaust system that I had on my ea82 '85 wagon it was 2" from the y to the tailpipe, with a glasspack in the stock rear position

  3. http://www.subaru.co.jp/square/selection/28/03.html thought you may be interested
  4. I think this does it http://digitalcarversguild.com/products/veloute/veloutegrooves/can.jpg and the improvement works, BTDT
  5. good to hear everything went well with the wagon I warned you it takes a lot of gas that noise you heard is "normal", I adjusted the valves, replaced distributor, set timing, and that made it run decent, about 500 miles before you got it would love to see pics!
  6. a bunch of misc., it's been a while since I've taken inventory
  7. It is definately too early to tell if I can take leave for that weekend, but if I can, then Saturday should be a go, and I will be living at home I will more than likely be in my jetta , but the brat still goes :-p Grimes IA is close by and has a nice hotel
  8. I buried the tach in my brat today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the tach stops at 8k it idled to warm up 2.5 hours before I did that
  9. I have a couple pages of my ea82 85 wagon in factory black on my cardomain.com page subiemech85
  10. beyond redline!!!!!!!!!!! 6.5K is where the ea81 sounds the best with ea82 carb, intake maniflod, and complete exhaust with glasspack at the end I held it there for a while of course, I let it warm up to normal operating temp first, I ain't stupid a redline a day keeps the gremlins at bay anyone else redline the ea82 in 1st rwd lo goin up a muddy "road"??
  11. That's it! Now I have to get rid of the stupid VW and swap in one of those! !! spare girll and 3 extra passing lamps 85 a2 1.6 na jetta
  12. I made a post a while ago giving a detailed list of things that need to be done for the maniflold to fit. search ford pinto
  13. 1. don't go blaming ford for the international powerstroke 2. zamboni uses a vw propane engine, similar platform as the 1.6 diesel, and may offer a pathyway for finding a transmission 3. the turbo diesel is different in that it has a turbo, and piston cooling jets, and a fuel pump with an aneroid, and higher NOP nozzles 4. the 1.8 gas and the 1.6 diesel share the same stroke 5. engine code ME 52 hp @ 4800 71 ftlbs @ 2500 6. engine code MF 68 hp @ 4500 98 ftlbs @ 2500 turbo 7. the 1.9 can be made to run on a mechanical fuel system 8. the vw toureag makes about 580 ftlbs TORQUE!! 9. how can I squeeze more power out of the 1.6 na diesel? 10. the 85 jetta 1.6 is my DD
  14. it SHOULD be a tallboy it's pop pepsi is mean to me, coke is smooth
  15. I did 2 the driver side mount I burned off ALL of the old rubber, cleaned up the metal, drilled many 1/8" holes, and filled it in the other one I just added to let set for a week, and install still no problems
  16. it's better than a bra on the front and hang'n nuts on the back
  17. took off the stock "snorkle" used a piece of old air filter screen on the inlet
  18. Ghost Dad with Bil Cosby about 20 minutes in, at the "taxi" scene looks to be a gen 2 told mom, !!THAT'S A SUBARU!!
  19. I have a set of brown, ok condition I have a set of blue, some faded I have a set of NOS blue, including origional packaging materials,
  20. make sure the vac. advance unit works on the replacement BEFORE you install it!!!!! install it at tdc #1 you can find tdc #1 by pulling iut #1 sparkplug and sticking your finger in the hole so you can feel air pressure, then make sure the pointer is at 0* now pull out the dist. the rotor should be pointed between #1 and #3!!!!! then slide in the replacement, and set timing with advance line disconnected and plugged after timing is set, hook up advance line to manifold, and the timing should be 20*+, now increase rpm and see if advance decreases
  21. went to my favorite jy to see what they have, spending quality time to "clear my mind", and I found a NEAR MINT CONDITION GL '86 EA82 MPFI 4WD AUTOMATIC 100% COMPLETE WITH WHITE WHEELS AND BLUE CENTERCAPS, WITH BLUE INTERIOR AND BLUE PAINT I also found a '88 justy 5spd 4x4, 86 xt, 90 wagon, sr, a TURBO EA82 "FLATTENED", AND a couple other ea82 and a bunch of VW
  22. $40 for each ea82 gl headlight and front corner light $20 ea81 2wd front axle $75 ea82 dr trans "pocket parts"
