Loyale 2.7 Turbo

I kindly suggest you to point exactly which Questions you do have. However, by reading what you wrote, I understand that you installed a Weber 32/36 carb on an EA82 engine, and the thing revs up slowly; so two things comes to my mind; first, the timing should be advanced to ~ 20º despite that the carbureted EA82's are intended to run at ~ 8º and, also the accelerator pedal Might be not moving enough the throttle plate on the carb, if the cable isn't properly hooked. Other things might be affecting and making things even more sluggish, such like a year old Gasoline, clogged fuel / air filters, PCV system / valve fails, stuck open EGR valve, etc... Good Luck, Kind Regards.

I forgot to ask you, about the state of the connections at the Relay's Sockets. Sometimes they develop electrical false contact, by corrosion or melting on the plastics... Kind Regards

Sorry, I should've missed to read this part. So, if the Relays are good, the Sockets are Good, and I bet that you already Have interchanged the mere Halogen Bulbs from one side Headlamp, to the other side headlamp, and both are good; if so, then the issue should be on the Wiring, which should be tracked completely, to find where is the electrical false contact. Good Luck! ... report back the Results. Kind Regards.

Yes, I kindly suggest you to check the Relays, first. Kind Regards.

Backfiring! ... ... Have you checked if the Spark plugs are wired in the proper order? Kind Regards.

If the engine wasn't running, there should be no other Damage to the electrical system. Kind Regards.

That Forester Really looks Awesome! Thanks for sharing the Photos. Kind Regards.

Congratulations on your New Forester!!! ... ... This thread deserves good photos of it! I wish I could find such bargains here in my Country... Kind Regards.

Although there is already a posted link to an excellent article, about changing the hubs from four to six Bolts; in this Other article, you can find additional information that could be valuable if you decide to go thru that route: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/128105-offcial-6-lug-re-drill-thread/

Check for corroded connections, they need to be clean. Also, if you already changed one of the two sockets for the Headlamps' bulbs; the other one might be in same conditions as the other was, so it worth to change it as well. Did the Grounding cable, snapped while the engine was Running? Kind Regards.

Welcome Matt! Nice Subarus, keep us updated regarding the Repairs you're doing on your L series. Kind Regards.

Recently my "BumbleBeast" reached 31 years with us; and my little Daughter's birthday was nearby; so I took this Photo, of my Subie with the costumed Girls, that came to liven up the Birthday party.

It is not easy to diagnose a car that is thousands of miles away, with a frugal description; however, by looking at the photos, I am not sure about how did you wired the ignition coil, but seems like the polarity is inverted, somehow... I can only suggest you, to double Check if the ignition coil has been wired properly, and / or test to start it with the old coil; as this Accel one might be wrong. This issue needs further testing to be properly diagnosed / solved. Kind Regards.

I kindly suggest you to use a two inches Diameter piping, and a free flow muffler, only. I've been runnin' my "BumbleBeast" since 1993 with that setup, with great results. ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/71510-ideas-on-swaping-a-weber-carb-on-ea82%C2%B4s/?do=findComment&comment=1027113 Kind Regards.

Welcome! Nice photo, Thanks for sharing. Kind Regards.

Royal Purple is Amazing, and Expensive; as far as I've read. Never tested it in person, but here you can download a Comparison chart, done with lab tests, at the end of this article, which also might enlighten your path, to choose the proper SAE weight oil for your Subie's engine, during winter times; according to a chart, depending on the climate in your area: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/126284-how-to-determine-which-is-the-best-motor-oil-for-your-car/ Kind Regards.

Regarding the USMB store, I've read in the past, that the new USMB system, not always lets the administrators to know when a payment has been done, in example, for a membership subscription; so I guess that the same happened with your Purchase, the administrator might not know about it. So I kindly suggest you to contact via private message, to Shawn, he is very kind but always very busy working at RetroRoo; he might not know about your Purchase, due to said system's issue. Kind Regards.

Yes, to change your well known, well maintained car, for an Unknown one, is always a Bad idea, unless you have a "Backup" car and the one you obtained was something you Really Wanted / Needed. Exactly the same here; especially having to transport my Li'l daughter. Kind Regards.

Download it from page five of my "BumbleBeast" build thread, whose link is on my signature below. Kind Regards.

Basically talking, to retrofit a Weber Carburetor on a SPFi engine, requires a Carb intake, to change the Fuel Pump for a lower pressure one, and the Timing / ECU management. Back on Topic: Where did you Purchased it online? Sometimes the Shipping information is delayed online, but the item has been sent. Worth talking by Phone or sending en eMail to the sellers. Kind Regards.

You're Welcome. I would start by checking the Battery / Alternator status, and the Groundings. Kind Regards.

You're Welcome. You should follow the wiring harness, going from the mere instrument Cluster, it should go to the EJ22 engine's ECU / Engine Bay. Sometimes the Flasher makes the Tachometer to Jump, more likely for one of this three reasons, or a combination of them, might be causing such situation: Low Amperage delivered by the Alternator, Bad Groundings on the Cluster / ECU wiring, and Shared power supply wire on the system. Kind Regards.

Nice Video, thank you for Sharing it. At the beginning, there is a confusing metallic rattle sound, that doesn't seem to come from the car itself, sounded more like something loose on the Roof Rack, but nothing seems to be loose there... Kind Regards.
