Eyesore...unless you swapped in an ea82, you don't have timing belts...ea71's & ea81's are gear driven. I never owned a Subaru under 100k. Stupidru just turned 158,000. Highest mileage I achieved was an 84 4x4 Sedan carb auto 190,000. The engine went 40,000 without an oilchange before rings finally give out. It leaked oil so I just kept topping it off. -
5speed conversion questione
Stupidru replied to Stupidru's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Shawn & Carfreak who made measurments to determine how much length was needed, who did the weld work. Carfreak why didn't you just use the ea82 shaft, is the ea82 a exact fit. Ed do you have exact numbers. Why is shawn's entirely different, is it because he's using an rx tranny. I think Miles said that he installed the tranny without a lift. Carfreak & Ed do you guys have lifts? -
5speed conversion questione
Stupidru replied to Stupidru's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
How much length did you have to get put on the driveshaft & is it the same length for turbo/non-turbo tranny? Will you get better performance gains out of the rx turbo tranny opposed to the non-turbo tranny? What about an xt6 mt? -

I use to live to live in Melbourne, but that was 20 years ago. I got my escort stock in the sand. I found out not to drive on loose sand, its 20 times worse than snow, some dude came along in a pick-up & pulled me out. Could have used a subaru then. -
idling question 83 gl wagon
Stupidru replied to tompalushock's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I'd give it a complete tune-up, then if that doesn't work, repost the problem. Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, breather-filter, air filter, fuel filter, pcv valve, oil change. The overheating is probably a seperate issue, but should be taken care of first, if you plan on keeping car. The worst thing you can do to a Subaru is let it overheat. These engines are extremely sensitive to heat because of the aluminum heads & block. Check coolant level, you may need to drain old coolant & add new. If that doesn't work, you probably need new radiator or thermos-stat. These old ones are infamous for the radiator clogging, the best fix is to replace. The radiator is very easy to replace, a few bolts & disconnect hoses. Good thing your fans are working, otherwise you would have done some serious damage by now. -
The 3at over 55mpg, the rpm's really hinder the performance. With 5speed is that eliminated, can you cruise at high speeds at lower rpm's. I have ea81t, contemplating 5speed conversion. Thanks, Jay
