Air box clearance to hood
Loyale 2.7 Turbo replied to Phizinza's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Could you, Please, share Photos + Details regarding such adaptation? Sounds pretty interesting. Kind Regards. -
I've read about using ATF on Manual Transmissions, but I bet that such custom could shorten their lifespans due to the increased shearing; unless ATF is indicated as the proper Oil for a Manual Transmission, like certain Mitsubishi Eclipses, on which I've worked. Kind Regards.

Despite its Higher price, Motul with MoS2 (Molybdenum Disulphide) has paid for itself, because I change it after longer periods of time, and it saved my 5 speed Manual transmission / differential on my "BumbleBeast" after the horrid Sabotage it suffered, some time ago. The MoS2 managed to leave a film that protected the moving parts from shearing, despite the added liter of water. And also, it solved the Hard shifting to first gear, on a Ford Ranger; and other similar issues like noises, etc... on the cars on which I've used Motul, elongating the Transmissions and differentials Lifespan; but it has to be the Motul with MoS2, not the regular one. Kind Regards.

I did not know that Motul oils are that expensive in the USA, here in Honduras, Motul is being sold at competitive prices, only a little higher than the regular oils; I believe it is because the commercial agreement with Europe = Lower tax rates; also we have similar agreements with USA, Mexico and Canada. Sorry for the off topic info. I have no personal experience with Royal Purple, but I have readed wonders regarding its friction modifiers, so Also I can suggest you to use that oil; however, you must consider that almost any Gear oil, classified as GL-5 and having the proper SAE grade, will suffice for the application, if you change it on a Regular Basis. Kind Regards.

Best Aftermarket Ignition Coil?
Loyale 2.7 Turbo replied to Sapper 157's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Thank you! I understand that statement. A hotter spark isn't needed in regular conditions. In my case, I wanted a Hotter Spark / advance further the ignition timing, because I upgraded the Regular Hitachi "Feedback" carburetor, on my EA82, with a 32/36 "Progressive" Weber carburetor, and somehow I felt that a hotter spark will manage better the difference in Air / fuel mixture on the RPM's range... and it did it; the Accel "Superstock" ignition coil, plus augmenting the ignition timing from 8º to 20º (Carbureted EA82 should be at 8º +/- 2º while Fuel Injected EA82 shall be at 20º), made a small, but noticeable difference in the overall engine's performance, in different aspects, including the exhaust smoke, that came cleaner. Kind Regards. -
Best Aftermarket Ignition Coil?
Loyale 2.7 Turbo replied to Sapper 157's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I agree with crazyeights, but not exactly about the current draw, but about the Resistance Ω values, which are very important, to avoid a premature fail of the ignition module; you know, the module is designed to work at certain resistance from the coil; if you change it with a lower resistance or higher resistance, it will directly reduce the lifespan of the ignition module. Reducing the Resistance from the ignition coil, is like switching from regular bulbs to LED bulbs on your blinkers, they'll start to blink faster due to the lower resistance; but in the case of the ignition module, it will deliver the signal in a non proper way, which might lead to receive feedback somehow, due to the lack of enough resistance, and that damages the ignition modules for sure, and let you stranded in the middle of nowhere... Regarding the ignition Coil's resistance values, as far as I know, the "Nippon-Denso" distributors are more permissive than the "Hitachi" distrubutors, found on EA81 and EA82 engines. Also I run my "BumbleBeast" with an Accel Superstock yellow "High Vibration" ignition coil, but made in USA, since many, many years ago, and the thing runs Flawlessly, but the current draw / resistance values of it, are very close to the stock ignition coil, for my "Nippon-Denso" distributor, on the EA82. Further information and resistance values, here: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/122276-the-bumble-beast/page-2?do=findComment&comment=1106258 Kind Regards. -

I switched cars with my Wife, so I delivered my Little Daughter this early morning to her School, on the "KiaStein" and I made this short video with my small cellphone (my little daughter is whistling in the Background), you can see that the First gear almost reached 70 MPH (according to the Speedometer), then shifted to Second gear; we were just leaving home (That's why the engine was still cool). -

I did an instrument cluster Swap, years ago, in order to have Tachometer on the "KiaStein" but, two years ago, I gave the original instrument cluster to an old man, who is a grandfather of a classmate of my daughter at the school; he also has a Sephia but LADM (Latin American Domestic Market) specs (1.6L engine + Manual Trans), its instrument cluster was dead... Now I wish I would have kept that original instrument cluster, but the old man asked for it, and I can't live being egoist... -
Subaru Ambassador?
Loyale 2.7 Turbo replied to ezapar's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Congratulations!!! Have they included some nice subaru stuff to accompany the Membership? Kind Regards. -
Since your GL has the EA82 engine on it, I kindly suggest you to carry a spare Timing Kit, and learn how to change the Timing Belts on these engines; in my case, I run them Coverless to facilitate a lot the timing procedure. Kind Regards.

Update: Today's early morning, we noticed that the Speedometer's needle climbs slowly by itself, to almost 40 MPH right after starting the engine and letting it at idle, to reach its normal operating temperatures, prior to start using the car... So, you can see the Needle pointing 40 MPH while the Automatic Shifter and its indicator light, are on "P" position. The Speedometer's needle goes back to Zero, right after moving (Driving) and stopping the car, completely; but still continues to have that weird 3X faster reading behaviour. The Trip Meter and the Odometer are working good; also the VSS is alright. Time to remove and inspect the instrument cluster, perhaps? Any idea regarding this issue, will be Welcome. Kind Regards. -

So tonight, I tested her "KiaStein" and immediately I noticed the abnormal climbing of the Speedometer's needle, on the instrument cluster; as the vehicle gained speed, the needle shown around 60 Mph, when the Car was really doing around 20 Mph. She was Right, something pretty weird is Happening to the Speedometer. And even weirder is the fact that there was no Check Engine light, lit on the instrument cluster. I attached to the Car my OBDII Scanner: No codes were found. Furthermore, the Actual vehicle's speed was shown completely accurate on the Scanner: I drove the "KiaStein" with the Scanner attached, and the Speedometer's needle at the instrument cluster, showed triple the Speed than what was shown by the Scanner. Also, I noticed that the Odometer and the Trip meter were working accurately: I did a usual four miles long round trip to the gas Station. I checked the VSS state and connectror / wiring, everything is alright. Even I tested the Alternator, Battery and charging system; everything is in good working order. I've never experienced a situation when the mere Speedometer suddenly starts to read faster than the actual vehicle's speed. What could be going on? This instrument cluster is completely electronic, doesn't has Cables attached, only wirings's terminals. Kind Regards. -

In another subject, today I received a cellphone message, from my Wife: She said: "Seems like I was speeding on the Highway" I replied: Really? ... ... How much? She replied: "Around 135, maybe a little more" I replied: Say What? !!! Then, She sent me this Photo, on a message: -
BS on easy lift for 85 e82
Loyale 2.7 Turbo replied to machineit's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Also, I agree with that. Maybe, seeing / reading too many lift threads, might lead him to think that it was a much easier Job. Kind Regards. -

Could you, please, share more information and photos about that "Approved" kit? Sounds pretty interesting; I only knew about "Approved" lift kits for the first gen Leone wagons, during the 1970's decade, but not for the third gen ones. Kind Regards. -
