power windows 87 turbo wagon
after replacing the switch on the passenger rear door, the window worked, and with the driver door switch. the front passenger window was a bad motor. now they all work. but i have found that whatever windw is unplugged from its swwitch, it wont work at the drivers switch either

First Running Subaru
hail naw! gut it all you polease. i would suggets you replace it with a y-pipe off an ea82 spfi. it will flow better, and fits the same. but you will have to leave in a dummy o2 sensor to plug the hole it will fit on you rtranny exhaust mount and fit on the existing midpipe. the front part comes down farther, because of the crossmember of an ea82, but it well still fit like it's supposed to

EA82T: Changing head gaskets, what else while it's apart?
scotch brite does it all! so does wd-40. do all your front, cam, and oil pump seals while youre at it. do you have the turbo gaskets? if you have to re-use use hi-temp copper silicone sealant, use on new gaskets too. replace the rubber hose from the turbo to the intake. we just did a whole gasket set on a turbo motor just to have that hose blow out!

1986 Brat
i am next pt ;ooking at it right now! i am at jim's for the weekend putting wrenches to soobs. what is the "wrench" you say? well thewrench over here was getting a deadbeat non running turbo to run like new, 2 brake jobs, front and rear, and getting power windows to work. the "wrench" is a good thing. we are getting a carb fom an 87 ea82 and will be putting it on(if it has its original manifold) 86subaru is the name you seek. personally i think a carb has more fuel delivery potential. if you are gping to mess with woring harnesses you might as well go with mpfi turbo! i'll let jim describe it to you jim goes by 86subaru on the board, but his login is "guest" rather than member, because of transferring over and his internet provider, or something like that. pm me and send me an email, i will be doing a lot of the work on this BRAT It has the axles off my last TrashWagon!!!! it needs a little work as far as driving it back to florida. but if a trashwagon can make it to washington.............. well, anyeay, if you caould make the trip that would be grand!

another guessing game...
the bolts for the bumper are under the hood!

Are XT6's really turbo ready??????
but the xt6 motor is based off the ea82 engine in design, so wouldnt you think turbo pistons would swap into the 6?

1986 Brat
i hope you know that Miles Fox has put the wrench to this ride! i'll have it all fixed up--i know this brat personally and am working on the carb i already know what it will take t put spfi on an ea81. it would be easier to put an ea82 spfi if we had a whole donor car to part from. if so, you can have the spfi already installed before you make the deal!

Ea71 To Ej20
tranny=gearbox hood=bonnet motor=engine tire=tyre english is one of the hardest languages to learn. too many of the same word means different things, or too many different words mean the same thing!

pump shaft interchangeability

Any of you extreme builders want a contract?
i could throw one together like a box of legos! but i dont have a building anymore, and parts are impossible to come by. but it would be neat to see what i could come up with!

A new sube for me!
the one i had was perfect off road--untill the rear axle started to fall out. this car was the epitome of what salt would do. probably the most rusted soob i had seen. but it was mechanically sound, 135000 miles, and held STRONG oil pressire i'll bet its light blue with blue interior. shoot me if i'm wrong

Anyone have contact with "alcyone31" a.k.a. Evan?

pump shaft interchangeability
we will be wswapping a 2wd auto into a 4wd auto xt with a bad front diff. would the pump shaft interchange? i have jim's 2wd pump shaft, but i am missing the inner shaft. i will need to know for this weekend wether to bring it or not....... do governor shafts swap between 2wd and 4wd too?
-
1986 Baja
i think that's the same dealer jim got his outback from. its listed in the user appreciation dealers in Drive MAgazine. i think it would look better if they used the sedan rear glass..... how about a 2door model, using the c pillar of a 3-door without the hatch, on a wagon body!

Rebuilding the 2.7 six
alleyboy: the xt6 rear and front suspension is waht i'm looking for more specifically, the rear swingarm and brake assembly only, and the front lowercontrol arm, swaybar, and strut/knuckle assy. i have jim's 2wd auto's pump shaft, but its missing the inner shaft. would a pump shaft from a 4wd fot a 2wd? i know that one will fit from an e282 2wd auto to an ea81 2wd auto. governor shafts should fit the same too. if i dont start this new job over the weekend i will be at jim's tong a tranny swap!

Oil Pressure ?
if you are in neutral for a few moments, sometimes it has a tendency to grind. i always pit it in first(from a stop) before i go into reverse! and its really easy to rock a mt from 1st to reverse in a mid/snow hole to get things going, if your timing is right

power windows 87 turbo wagon
the rear passenger door, the window switch is missing the button that operates it. therefore probably un-grounding the passenger side. the circuitry is funny like that jim, that is something we can work on in a weekend.

1986 Baja
well, josh, if we could get that wagon at maxtons, if that guy can decide he wants to come off it for a price rather than have it rust away with a broken timing belt, the yard in bryan ohio has a few ea81 sedans. i would almost consider doing the gl-10 if it werent as solid as it is(by rust-belt standards. call about that soob in fort wayne, it says "make offer" and all it needs is an alternator. i have like 6 of them. get them out the carbola before they get junked!!! keep an eye out for 3-doors, because we dont want to chop the RX!!!!!!

Rebuilding the 2.7 six
hey john, if this job interview gets me in, i will have a decent income, and if you make the trip th PA, i would go with you. if we could make a package deal and get a good price, i will go half on it, you get the motor, i get the suspension. if i start this job it will be within a week from now. hopefully i can land my hands on the xt6 here in butler. the body is rather rough, rusty, but straight, the bumper moulding is a little crooked, but the whole car is intact.
