  1. oh i dunno, I wasnt talkin to anyone, lol, just saying you could get it cheaper elsewhere, but i guess if u live in a HOT HOT place it would be a good idea to get the exspensive stuff.
  2. you realize you can get the same stuff, peal and stick, from places like Home depot and lowes for dirt cheap for HUGE rolls of it that work just as good.
  3. May i ask what this ECVT is?? WHats so horible about it?
  4. do you have A/C? always use your defroster setting on High and it will run the a/c pump to dry out all the air so you dont fog up. Also the rear window, u mean you dont Have a rear window , just get a rear window with the grids, and plug it in, if any of the grids are damaged, they wont work, but there are easy to do repair kits at like radio shack. I wouldnt waste money on the heated windsheld wipers and crap, I do fine in near 0 weather with frost every morning and snow without them.
  5. I dunno what your talkin about, but the 2.8/3.1 MPFI motors were awsome motors that are extremly durable and last forever. not to be confused with the 3100 engines, wich do suck because of thier Lower intake manifold gasket issues. 2.8/3.1 engines easily last 200k miles without using a drop of oil. and many make 300k if well taken care of, and thier 4 speed 44T04 Transmissions last well if properly maintained and not beat on.
  6. A man with a 80 somthing Pontiac 6000 Reached over 500k on the original 3.1 MPFI V6 and 3 speed auto. Theres a site somewhere talkin about it
  7. XTs look sooooo cool, but that bra is freaking hideous, i HATE bras, id rather my paint all chipped up than one of those, not to mention they make ur paint fade and can cause wear spots if not properly secured
  8. well if it overheated thats a pretty good assumption u may have popped the headgasket
  9. Ok, Im in need of an 87.5+ ECU from a Spider intake Turbo car, Im hoping some1 just needs to get rid of crap and i just pay shipping, but im looking for it cheap, because if this doesnt solve it im not getting it, ill fix my pontiac with the money i saved and drive it. But i really do want this car, Theres also some 85 Subaru GL-10 Turbo Sedan for sale, but it needs its timing belts, wich they already started and its missing its grill, and the side ribbing is rivited on and the trunk dont close....and has 265k on it but they want 400 freaking dollars for it!
  10. to uh make the speaker sound the best you need to isolate the front and back of the speaker, it doesnt look like u did that on some of them
  11. Ummm he just told me he remembers hes using a NON Turbo ECU for the car............uhh that could explain alot
  12. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/Literature/brochures/brochures-80-89.html Theres some pics, not like Awsome ones, but you can see what the rack looks like. IF thats indeed what your asking
  13. Ok I went and looked, i cannot find the Dropping resitor, mabye some one could get me a picture? My friend also found out the guy switched the relays for the ignition and fuel pump around
  14. Oh.....really now, so an 87.5+ EA82-T ECU should work then?
  15. I would say get a new Fuel injector, Idle issues can be caused by shorted or sticky injectors. ALso leaky injectors.
  16. Well its the one i found here that i downloaded, unless you have a Manual for a 87 aroundhere i could download. By Spider you mean the instake runners right? So the ECU HAS to be from an 85-87.5 SUbaru XT Turbo or what?
  17. wow talk about time consuming! Im hoping its just that resistor! I have the entire 88 Service manual downloaded for the XT, mines an 88 according to the registration but the build dates 87/02
  18. torque converters do fail, but when they do, they ususally make some nasty rattling noises and cause the car to just die when put into gearsince its basicly the clutch
  19. makes sense, the ECU box was majorly hot after having it run, ill havce to check it out, anything else anything wants to add please do, i want this car
  20. so fit thats not thier is can fry the computers and what else?
  21. well are they int he exact position they came out of , theres a pendlum inside and if its not at the perfect angle and position they thing your in a collision or somthign and lock up untill they return to the exact place.
  22. Well Try as i will, we cannot get this freaking 87-88 Subaru XT turbo to run!!! I put new intake gaskets and an oil cap and made sure there we NO vacuum leaks, and it started! YAY! Ran fine for like 2 minutes then sputterd and died. WTF....thought maybe it ran out of gas, so we put some in it, and it wont even FIRE now! We looked at the ECU, it was freaking hot as hell and the metal box looked discolord, it fried its THIRD computer! Why!!!! Heres the story He had a new motor put in, and it ran great, the turbo blew and he happend injured himself around that time. SO he asked his friend to put a new turbo in, simple right? No his friend proceeds to tear the entire top end of the motor off and put iy back half assed, we put it back the way it should, but found he maybe screwed with some electrical stuff, mabye somekind of relay. Im not quite sure. The guys calling the guy to find out, and hes gonna get another ECU for it and check some relays and electrical stuff to find out whats frying the damn thing. Its not getting ANY spark now. Theres no Check engine light on the dash ever not even with the key to the ON position. The owner whos helping me fix it is an Electrical Engineer and mechanic, so he knows his stuff, but this is getting rediculous! 3 ECUs its eaten up. One you put it in, no spark, another no fuel pump running, and the 3rd (one just fried) does the no spark. The 3rd one we had worked great up untill it was running then died, now it has no spark, but the fuel pump works.
  23. LOL if we can get it running, haha I will make sure those connectors arnt plugged in! There next to the ECU in the trunk then?
