MilesFox

got glass piece too. so which way will you be coming through indiana?

let me remind anyone that cinder blocks are not good substitutes for jack stands. i have heard stories from my instructor at Ivy Tech that they had collapsed on someone, another story a guy jacked up his ride on blocks, and went in for a moment, and came out to see his ride on the ground. when using a hoist, lower the motor close to the ground when moving it about

mine was originally 2wd 5spd also. i noticed that all manual tranny crossmembers are the same, even ea82's the same as ea81's. the washers work good? as long as there is enough thread left to hold the bolts in. so you dropped the front crossmember too. thats like a half inch lift. good going!

that last scene would make a good substitute for those generic calvin stickers!

you would want some shocks for control. get some that extend longer. you will wear out your torsion bar by over flexing witn no shoxks. but here is something fun to do before you put them backj in: get a little speed, start tapping the brake to get the rump roast end bouncy, timing each stab of the brake as the car bounces up, and get the wheels to come about a foot off the ground. makes for great showing off!

i have found that the water pump, intake manifold, and engine bellhousing all interchange. same thing goes for the distributor, and any mounting brackets, ancilliaries, and such. even an ea82 water pump will fit, but the pulley will be offset from the rest but the overall external demensions are the same. hope that answers ya!

the $10 gauge at wal-mart comes with several fittings, one of which fits on a subaru

i suppose you could beat the tunnel out with a hammer, provided you have enough room to swing it around under there. i rtued that myself, but ended up cutting it out. you gould get an angle grinder and cut away a smakk hole just enough to let the top corner of the square part come through , and for the 4wd mechanism. what if you could put a few washers on the cross member bolts to drop it down a little? the only thing on the tranny tunnel is a bracket that holds the ducting for the heater vents, and it could be bent around a little, or re-mounted, but i highly doubt anything will be distorted from a beat-down

I knew someone would catch onto the black door handles. And we have a winner! General Disorder wins the "Miles Fox Road-Trip Survival Package" comes complete with a 5 gallon can, a spare axle, and a get out of jail free card! anyway, I got the spfi motor in, with a carb intake on it. I had to borrow an intake gasket off zanny dook's wagon, as well as the y pipe, and still yet the radiator. I got the dist off myoss feece's glf with the ea82, and the fuel pump. all the heavy duty work is done now, so its all wires and hoses from here on, hope to have the car driveable by thrusday night for some off-roading on some unexplored land

i got my fan connected to the same pink connector. once i had a fuel pump there. but if you turn the key off, it will keep runnung until you break the circuit. in the case with the fan, the car will run for 2 seconds until the fan stops rotating. i have also connected the fuel pump to the positive coil terminal, comes on and off with the key.

if any one wants to pull a miles fox, they can come and shoot me a visit! i am along us6 in butler, IN. I have a screen if you need it, and so do my buddies. one tip of advice from me: Make sure whoever you take with you stays with you

well, the gig is up between my buddies, someone spilled the beans about it. all they now is i got another soob, but the details will remain on the down lo. braian was right about guessing the TURBO. i swapped the fenders and front skirt with less rusty ones off a sedan. so we will have to rule out RX. but we can still make it an RX killer! eventually the turbo will find its way into TrashWagon5, if i dont go the cis route. but if i go cis, it will be on Myoss Feece's spfi sedan, because he doesnt have the turbo mpfi already like i do now. i finished vacuuming the interior, it cleaned up very well. I got my spfi motor now to start putting it down in, with a carburetor until i get the parts to fix the turbo motor. it needs a radiator, and i will need a y pipe for the spfi block. zanny dook will let me part his rad an pipe. tomrhere has an ea82 radiator in his brat, so i am thinking i can get an ea81 radiator to fit in this car. there is a dual core rad in the glf, and it isnt going anywhere soon. , so there is a possible radiaror and a fuel pump, and distributor(it has an ea82 in it) i swapped onm some better tires from zanny dooks wagon. there is a brake leak somewhere, but i can pinch it off just to get it working. i would like to go off roading this sunday on some land that has permission. and dont think i am going to be driving this thing around, thats an automatic misdemeanor in indiana, i might as well walk around with a bag of weed if that were the case. But i do have a current plate i can transfer to the car so i can park it out on the street and not have to worry about it being towed. If i do get it running before the weekend i will invite someone along, and have them drive to the off road. then i will take the wheel from there, because you cant get pulled over in the woods! now we all know its a wagon, and its turbo If no one had guessed what it is yet, here is a clue: black door handles

also look for a sludge that looks like wendy's frostee in the oil. if you have to drive the car anyway, and you are getting coolant in the oil, drain the coolant and replace it with straight water, and run with the cap off. coolant in the oil will eat away the bearings in the bottom end

you can use a small screwdriver or a (dentist's) pick to pry it out. just be careful not to goughe the aluminum. the crank is hard enough that it wont scratch unless you are being midieval about your technique. when you install the new seal tap it in so it is flish with the block, as it will go in deeper if you kept tapping past that point. you can use socket extension with the flat side on the seal, and tap evenly around the seal until it is flush same texhnique will rork on the rear and cam seals, but the cam seal can be removes after you take off the piece that holds the cam in, you can push the seal out from behind

myoss feece is doing work down in miama, he is the one from indiana with the 2wd to 4wd conversion. he leaves his soob here, but he said he saw a grey sedan, and a white sedan in florida. i'll be if you and your soob were anywhere near him, he would approach it and ask about it

the hose diameter will be larger than the fitting on the carby fuel pump. it will hold tight if you get a good clamp on there tohugh, i have done it like that on a turbo wagon to carb, and an spfi to carb, had no problems either way.

dont forget the rear differential too, because the one for the auro had a different ratio

I just picked up a new ride for 50 bucks. i cant tell you what it is right yet, but here are some clues its gonna be "TrashWagon 6" "manual transmission" "surprised theheads are not cracked" the motor needs a reseal job, but i am going to substitute with an spfi with carb motor until i get all the parts and a new clutch its getting a krylon job, i replaced the fenders and front skirt if i get it running with the motor it came with, that motor will go in trashwagon 5

sorry to reply so late, the library computers have been down...... i had one in my sedan(its gone now during my absence) here is what i came up with I used the ea82 pitch bar mount and bracket, olts to the ea81 the same. I used the ea82 water pump and water pipe to match up frot he radiator. the crank pulley is aligned differently than the ea82 pump, so i spun on some fan nuts, and then the pulley. i doubled up the alternator pulley by welding another one on, but the non ac style ea82 pulley would work the same I used the ea81 engine mounts i used the ea82 carb and intake, and the ea82 water pipe off the water pump the exhaust fits the same(you have to use the ea82 pipe, because the ea81 doesnt come down far enough to clear the front crossmember. i got it to run and drive out the building, but the nuts were loose to the rocker shaft(i got the motoor on trade, didnt know they were loose) all the pushrods fell out, i put it back together, was waiting for a feeler gauge, took a road trip, the car got junked while i was gone. so how did you go about yours? whivh water pump did you use? I also put an ea81 in a sedan with a 2wd auto. the bellhousing has to be more modified to fit the flexplate, and you have to put a spacer between the crank and flexplate. my plan was to use an ea71 with an ea81 bellhousing modified to fit an ea82 tranny, but it got junked too

Has anyone on the board attempted this? I know it can be done! I'll hold out on what i know until i get a few replies............

well, i got home alright, and here i am on the new board. i had a window open, and i click refresh, and this is what i got! much better. and the edit feature actually works. good job

if anyone knew how to contacy rguyver he put spfi on an ea81 and turboed it. i had the idea in mind and i test fitted the parts, and here is what i came up with: i used an ea82 turbo and cross pipe. the holes on the cross pipe are opposite of the studs on the ea81, but the threads are already tapped. either grind away the flange to fit around the existing studs and bolt it up, or take the studs out and relocate them to the other set of holes (i did the first) the turbo bracket my need a little tweaking, i had to elongate the hole that bolted it down to the head. then o bolted on the turbo. i was using an spfi intake, which i had to make a block-off plate for the egr: it had to be removed because it interfered with the turbo. i had ea82 pitch bar mountings, to fit in an already spfi ea82 sedan. leave the ea81 pitch bar mounting if you are going in an ea81 body. you will have to find the right combination of parts to fit the turbo to the throttle body, as the diameters are different. i was told that certain saab parts would fit, but nothing specific. I had the idea of running an oil line off one of the pump's taps, and have it dump off in a valve cover or oil fill tube. the water would be routed through the heater hoses. this was a test-fit for a proposed installation in Myoss Feece's 88 sedan spfi 2wd auto to 4wd 5spd conversion the approach i would consider for turboing the trashwagon (it has an ea82, but an ea81 with turbo heads would be the same) is to run a volkswagen cis injection, as is proven on OH NOAH's ride. use an ea81 block, your choice of pistons, weter it be an ea81, ea81t, or ea81 with turbo pistons from either ea81t or ea82t. use the heads from an ea81 t, as the injector bosses are cast into the head, whereas the ea82t's are in the manifold. i was told to use the knock sensing distributor from an 85 or 86 turbo, but i would assume that 83 and a4 turbo dists would work the same by going cis, you eliminate theneed for computer controls, although certain cis systems have an oxygen sensor. the cis is meccanically controlled, and produces 8psi of fuel, and some cis were on turbo applications. ea81 or ea2 turbo setups should fit. use the ea81t or ea82 spfi manifold one more thing, the ea81t heads have the studs in the right location. my test fit used regular heads

use the pistons from an ea71 hatch motor. hatch pistons in an ea81 block will give you the same 9.5 compression of an ea82 spfi block I got to see oh noah's setup in person. the bosch unit satin the spare tire, and the airflow moved over a disc inside that actuated the ffuel flow valve. his was connected to an xt spider intake, but you will have to connect yours to the ea81t's throttle body. as long as you can get your plumbing to fit you should be alright. its all amatter of conjuring up the right size pices. its one of those creative ventures. the throttle body on the manifold will determine how much flow will go into the motor, and thus it will pull through the bosh unit. you will be pulling your air through the disc on the bosch unit instead rather than the subaru's flapper door.
