new subaru RX owner..looking for info
the hill holder cable fits thru a pin on the clutch fork. the nut has a curved edge that fits the curcumfrence of thet pin, when you turn it, it locks into place each half turn. you might be able toget away with regular nuts, but you will have to double them up to lock them into place. the tread is the same as the 8mm nuts on the coil, se if you can find a 10mm nut with the same hole if you cant find the proper nut for replacement. i believe all manuals after 82 have the hill holder. the nut will be the same for all models

ea81 to ea82 swap *sticky?*
i meant the voltage regulator. it can be eliminated if using the internally regulated alt (83+) using the 85 and 86 distributor, it has the module internally, so the external ign module(pre-83- can be eliminated)

4wd light on dash question
skip, the 4wd switch is in the transmission itself. the switch in the center console is for the LO. Jim, its quite possible the bulb in the display could be out

ignition pulse wire for 85-87 mpfi
the ecu will have its black wire for ground the braided portion i think would ground to the distributor or something, but its not the computers ground. its the middle sheathed wire that will be the signal wire. the ecu i have exp. with was only gutted out. i havent hooked it up, because we couldnt get the flexplate bolts out to swap the motor to a flywheel. i have fried mt nintendo by jumping the contacts on the cartridge to get the screen to do crazy tricks i thought i have fried mt computer swapping drives when it os on, but it was an internal breaker in the power module, and everything checked out. i have a spare ecu for 87 turbo if there is a way to get it to you should you fry yours. keep me up on your progress......

how fast am i going?
the xt manifold will boly to the turbo multi port heads. th einjector and fuel rails will be compatible. the only thing i dont know is how the turbo will connect to the spider intake. havent had one to mess with..... the fuel rail might be routed differently, but it will hook up to the fuel hose end, and the injectors ae the same as all mpfi, including turbo and ea81T

i saw a mustang with a rotor like that. thats what you get at a buy-here-pay-here lot my 83 turbo had a busted rotor, it was so bad that the radial part came separated from the part that bolts to the hub. jim's brat had a rotor that did the same. how thin was the pad(i mean what was left of it?)

Exhaust Q.
the card in the window has landed us a few soobs. also we have recruits that keep an eye out for them a lot of times people who are driving them are driving them just because its a car, and could care less that its a subaru. maybe it would be wise to find cheap cars and fix them up, and just trade them even up for soobs.

Exhaust Q.
if the nut turns, but wants to hang up, work it back and forth, back on a thread or two, off a 3 threads, on 2, off 3, will help take the rust off the thread. usually the nut will turn so far befare it catches all the rust and begins to take the stud with it. if the studs DO come out, get new ones. to install them, thread 2 nuts on the END, lock them together. then use the nut farthest on the end with a wrench to turn the stud in. then use 2 wrenches to unlock the nuts,and then proceed to install the gasket and pipe. the thread locker will prevent the stud from coming out the next time, and the anti-seize will let the nut come off before it wants to take the stud with it. but sometimes a rusty stud will take the aluinum thread wit it, tearing it out as it goes. if you see aluminum on the stud if it comes out, re-tap it with 7/16 and use 7/16 stud, or helicoil it like qman said
-
Exhaust Q.
if recall i have seen studs opposite, at least on zanny dook's wagon the stud is on the other hole, and the pipe has a notch ground in the flange to fit around the stud. the pipe is right, as it fits on my wagon it must be an odd stud, or it must be a same-side head as the other head, its the only one i have seen like that, it was that way when we got it the turbo cross-pipe has the studs opposite that of a regular pipe

Exhaust Q.
the thread is m10 1.25 the shank being 10mm wide, and 1.25 threads per mm you can also tap out the holes wit a starter tap and a bottoming tap 7/16 14 thread. 7/17 dia. and 14 threads per inch TomRhere invented that trick
