RX question
yep it is a fully loaded GL, i just checked the general info page on here, 111hp 134tq, and man does that turbo pull hard. this was the first turbo car i have ever driver, i was like, ok this is better then my car then the turbo spooled and i had to shift, all i could think was WHOLY CRAP THIS IS MUCH BETTER!!! but ya it does have a LSD also. so looks as if im needing some new heads since this blows white smoke, and the WRX turbo/intercooler that we have at work also along with 2.5inch exhaust from the turbo back with no cats. i just cant wait till monday to go and give him the cash to buy it. by the way, anyone got any good EA-82T heads, Gen 1 that they want to part with?? Later, Shean

putting EJ22 into the 86 wagon
no, i am ether thinking of going with a 12mm thick aluminum adapter and run the full EA82 clutch and flywheel settup i have now and just elongate teh wholes, same with the fron crossmember. or i might jest get the 5sp EJ22 tranny and 4.44 rear diff and basically swap the complete drive train. im going to have a 2 core aluminum radiator for the 2.5rs rally cars, there are companies that make them, then get 2 12inch electric cooling fans tha will push over 1,000cfm from summitracing.com everything else will be a peice of cake, just i have about a month and a half to get this done. before i do move to arizona.

putting EJ22 into the 86 wagon
the only difference is the gas, from R12, to R134A, the only difference between those 2 is R134A has oil in it to lubercate the internals.

putting EJ22 into the 86 wagon
ok for $425 im getting a running EJ22 w/ wiring harness, fuel pump, computer, power steering pump, alt, and a/c compressor and then i have to make an adapter to hook it to my EA82 D/R 5sp, but here is my question, how do i hook up the A/C lines from my stock 86 car to the new 1996 compressor, will i have to get custom lines made? if i do ill cut my stock ones and the EJ22's and then weld them together. Thanks, Shean

hey archemitis, you mind making me a pig tail or a writeup on exactally waht wires go where, i want to put a 2.2 or 2.5 in my 86 carbed wagon along with the 5sp AWD tranny, these EA82's dont have the nuts i need. Thanks, Shean

next project
that 300ZX is my friend,Yarith's then thats my waon with the pugs, then my friend davids 93 for escort, then josh's truck which he just took out a tree with like 2 days ago, truck is being rebuilt as we type.and i think ill just go with the 16inch WRX rims we got at work, thats flashy enough for me.
-
next project
ok, we have a wrecked XT6 4wd car at work, even though it has air suspension there are plenty of other cars to grab the struts from. what do you guys think, keep my car with pugs, which i dont really like that much. or do the 5 lug swap so i can run the WRX wheels we have at work. or if i cant get those rims get some stock 16's off an outback or if i have to run the 15inch steelies, then sell the pugs, and all my disk brake stuff that i just put onto the red wagon. i really want the 5 lug so i can get some nicer rims, pugs just dont do it for me anymore. Thanks, Shean

Lowering question
ok today at work i pulled a set of rear KYB shocks and springs off a 4wd car. but then found a set of 2wd ones and cut the springs on them. my question is, both sets are KYB's mind you, can i use the kyb's from the 2wd on my car or are those also longer then the 4wd one's and if thats the case ill just snag the 4wd ones and cut 2 coils off them. and also i grabed a set of front 4wd springs off thats same 4wd car, and cut like 2 coils off, how much lower will i be in the front with those, i was hoping for about 1 to 1.5inches. Thanks, Shean

New to board

Dieseling After Weber swap

Dieseling After Weber swap
ok now that i got my car running like it should, not blowing steam out the exhaust or overheating, when it gets warmed up, and i shut it off it diesels, can someone please send me a link, or tell me out to properly tune the idle and timing so it wont do this. Thanks, Shean PS, i just want to get the weber witht he bigger venturies compared to the DFV series, but this car still kicks arse.

Sealing Water Port for Weber
well i get home from work today, i cut my driving light wire and put on a female connector, and hook up the choke, turn the switch on and start up the car, let it warm up, and take it for a drive. let me just say, i have never seen so much tire smoke from a subaru before. i found a troubleshooting link on carbs.net and it was the dam choke, it would bogg down the motor ecause it wasnt opening all the way at wide open throttle. i just cant wait to get a DGV series 32/36 with the bigger venturies, rather then this DFV 32/36. torque is your friend, treat it kindly.
-
Sealing Water Port for Weber
ya i know that, but its even slower then the car was with the hitachi, and the DFV series has bigger venturies then the dam hitachi anyways i took it got a drive, runs like absolute ****, when i dont engage the second barrel it runs just like it did with the hitachi, slow, then i punch it, it pops/backfires, and surges back and forward. so i get it home FINALLY, refill the radiator since it was low, and im back trying to figure this crap out. this sucks, i need to go to work tomarrow and i now have no car, i dont trust it to drive 30 miles to work then 30 back. THIS SUCKS!!! shean out working on the car AGAIN

Sealing Water Port for Weber
never mind GD, i was thinking of someone else. but i got some JBweld and some other stuff that is putty, i put a bunch of the putty in, and it takes 15 minutes to harden fully, so im going to let it cure for about 30 minutes then do for a drive and see what happends. also the car doesn't seem to have the same power, seems to have less thent he hitachi... guess i will be doing some tuning to change that because this does have the bigger venturies. looks as if im going to have to get a book and Webers and do some reading.

Sealing Water Port for Weber
ok i searched and found that GeneralDisorder used Permatex @ form a gasket to seal it, i tried that, didn't hold. so i pulled it all back apart and used the rest of the tube of it and pushed it in with a tooth pick. but if this doesn't hold what would you gues recomend me try, i was thinking JB weld, but i dunno about that. Anyone??? Thanks, Shean

puting weber on, ?'s
well got it mounted, and everything running right, i just need to get a air cleaner for it. i got a linkage kit through Autosport its made by EMPI part# MB/430602 it replaces the stock weber linakge and makes it much easier to adapt the stock cable onto the carb, i just cut off the lead, and put it on. havent gone driving yet, but it seems to run smoother at adle by quite a bit, and revs faster. ^ and there's the new linkage kit from EMPI, was only $10, and well worth it.

puting weber on, ?'s
ya, $20 i dont have. so looks as if im going to go buy some JB Weld to plug that whole in the intake where the coolant goes up into the stock hitachi. Shean

Favorite Subie
1978 Brat, i love the dual headlight settup and bodystyle, also the jump seats in the back, but i would have to upgrade the drivetrain to a newer STi platform, now that would be tits. Shean

Need Throttle cable!!!
we have a 82 turbo wagon at my work, i will see if the throttle cable is there, i bet it still is, if it is ill grab it for you and get the price today if the good weather holds up. Shean
-
puting weber on, ?'s
ok, but how do i mount the throttle cable onto the linakge? and rather then buying that thing from redline i can make one in like 20 minutes at school for free, except for the time it takes to make it.
