That's an even lamer reason to pollute than more power. Besides the right ize pipe and a good muffler will give you great sound with the cat. Curious as to where you are getting the exhaust done? They will be breaking the law with you if they remove your're cat and don't install a new one.

I don't know man, but I Just off the top off my head 13 mm seems way too small. 16 mm seems about right.

Generic aftermarket can be found for mot vehcihles for less than $100 dollars. C'mon that's expsenive??? I've seen the rear cat for our EA82s for $65. Even the whole Y-pipes can be had, cat and all for about $150-200, still not incredibly expensive. Think about it you'd spend that for one payment on a new vehicle. so it seems resonable for a one time(probably) expense for mantainence

Do the vent selector function all work? Can you get at the dash, defrost,and floor all to blow heat? What I'm getting at is that you may have a vacuum leak, plug, or disconnection. The 4wd is engaged by two vacuum solenoids mounted to the drivers side strut tower. The vacuum for there operation i supplied from the manifold, via the reserve tank mounted to the other(pass) strut tower. This tank also supplies vacuum for the vent controls, hence the first questions. With the engine running, pull the supply vaccum hose from the solenoids and check for vaccum. Got vacuum? good. now have someone hit the button while you listen closely to the solenoid(also feel it to tell if it clicks)to see if it operates. If you get clicking, then I suspect the vacuum actuator that actually pull the lever on the side of the trans is stuck or leaking vac. In that case you need to first try to move the lever on the side of the tran by hand from underneath. It's near the very end of the trans, passenger side, with a cable attach to it. The actuator is on the drivers side middle of trans but the cable croses over the top and run to the back to the lever.

???????? WTF does this mean? REAL???? as oppossed to the imaginary ones? You can keep living in your're imaginary teenage bliss and pretend that "i don't wanna" is a good excuse for anything....... But the real world fact is every car liscensed for use on US roads that came with a CAT is required to still have said CAT.

You do know that that is a violation of federal law. You could be fined very heavily. Let's hope for your sake there aren't any EPA employees on this site. You are too young to have kids(probably). But when you do maybe you will see our future is worth more than the 5 hp you might get for you're toy.

Do you hear it clicking and engaging when you hit the button? Is the 4wd indicator light coming on? If both are yes, chance are it's working. Like was pointed out, you have open differentials at each axle. If one tire has no traction at all the other won't get any power. Easy test is to go to a paved parking lot, put it in 4wd, and make a few slow tight turns. If you feel binding, like the brakes are on, then it's working. Don't do this too much. It can damage the drivetrain but for a minute to test is fine. You might need to go back and forth in a straight line a few times before the 4wd will disengage after doing this.

You should not ever use the 4WD on paved road. With the exception of when snow ion aid paved road. It is for use in low traction situations, like mud, grave, sand, snow, etc... Using it on pavement, when all wheels have good grip, stress builds in the drivetrain. The front and rear axles need to rotate slighlty different amounts as the cars makes even small turns. There i no mechanism built for this difference to be allowed. Unfortunately, it i not easily possible to convert the old tyle 4wd to AWD. Basiclly the easiest way would be to swap in a whole new trans. This involes verifying the correct gear ratio for you're rear end, or changing it to match the new trans. Then unless you want to swap engines at the same time you will need an adapter plate as well, to bolt the newer trans to the older motor. The good news is that you can shift into 4wd on the fly, no need to stop, or really even slow down. Just put the clutch in, and it's way better if you are going in a straight line.

Check out This pagehttp://www.autozine.org/technical_school/traction/tech_traction_4wd_2.htm Obviously we don't have trosen diffs. So scroll down. The second type shown is what you are describing. A simple viscous coupling, with no differential. NOTHING transfer to the rear(or front, VW vanagon) unless there is slip. The wheels that are at the other end of that coupler just roll along until there is slip to activate the viscous pack to "lock up" and send power. Because there is no actual geared differential. Notice subaru is not listed as using this type. Look at the third type. That is what we have. A conventional, open differential, with a viscous coupler. So a long as all wheels have traction, they will all get the same amount of power. But small differences created by turns and such are compensated for just like any open diff. But when lots of slips becomes present at any wheel the Vicous pack heats up and limits the slip. Notice here it does say this is the system ued by subaru. Here is another great page. Showing them disassembled and a teting proceedure. http://www.mrtrally.com.au/performance/viscous_coupling.htm This pictue ^^^^^shows the Viscous unit with one bevel gear in his right hand. The other half, with the spiders, pinion, and the other bevel gear are in his left. This diagrahm ^^^^^ is a general depiction of the Viscous unit only, not a complete subaru differential unit.

No, the 84 Black Diamond Sedan is going to be an on-road car. Possibly even Lowering it for improved camber, center of gravity and looks:grin: But definately want the AWD 5spd. I suppose I could use an RX or Fulltime XT trans, but they are harder to find, and older and more abused by the day. Besides, I want to use it with the EJ18 or EJ22 going into it. I could do something more agressive power wise(EJ25,EJ22t,EJ20g)but I want really good gas milage. I want to make it a stylish daily driver. But with a few extra ponies too.

The MPFI/Turbo one has the same thread as the SPFI, and ouputs in same range. Different connector style though. It uses a Bosch/JECS standard Fuel injector plug, which you could buy and wire in. However...... this is a therory that it will work, I don;t know of anyone who has done it. -
No spark, horn fuse, what's the deal?

Open the glovebox. Twist it slightly and you will be able to slide the stoppers out through the grooves and open it further. All the stuff in you're glovebox will fall out so you want to remove that all first. Now if you reach up toward the clock, you should be able to find the clock plug. Blue or white, 6? pole connector, but it only has 4 wires on it. You could just unplug it and see if that's the problem. -
The stub shafts pull directly out of the AWD auto trannys, at least the early Legacy ones. If the 5 speeds are the same way, then it would be easy to pull the 25 spline stub out and use a 23 spline from a 2WD Impreza. Or am I misinformed that 2wd Imps use 23 spline?
-
23 spline stubs from 2wd Impreza? that would be perfect since that is the trans in the car already. Those stubs wouldn't match to the AWD trans?

GoatCheez. Haha. Well too bad I'm not in Kenosha anymore. I'd love to keep it on the road. -
Well. I've heard of swapping the cups from EA82T onto the EA81 axle works. But what about the Impeza/Legacy cups? are the axle shafts the same diameter? spline count? I have an Extra set of turbo axles but they are in good shape, no torn boots, I don't want to tear them down. I was hoping that swapping the stubs could be accomplished without splitting the case. I know that the stubs will just pull right out of my Legacy trans. Held in with spring clips. But that is an Auto. Are the Manuals the same? If they just pull out it would be real easy.
-
Sounds like a MAF issue. ECU ignores it after a certain RPM, 3700 on EA82, maybe 3000 for ea81?

Hey all. My new project i an 84 4wd GL diamond edition sedan. I want to swap in an EJ18 from a FWD impreza I picked up. Initially, I will be doing the engine swap only, using an adapter plate to mate to the 3AT(ugh...I know, I know). Later on however, I want to convert it to AWD 5spd. When I do that, I will be running into the problem of the EA81s 23 spline axles mating to the 25 spline 5spd. So options are 1. Cutom axles with EA81 outer CV shaft and 25 spline inner cups(ea82T?Impreza?Legacy?Forrester?) 2. swap the 23 spline axle stubs from the 2wd Impreza five speed into the AWD 5spd. Ideas, thoughts, and stuff that's been done?
-
I'll start by telling the OP that I agree with GD. Not worth the effort to convert it to MPFI Turbo. But I want to point out for others reading this that a Spider intake TPS, Turbo or NA, will work with the 87 and later non-spider, EA82 ECU. The TPS is physically different, but the potentiometer output in the same range. Spider intake harness will plug right into a non-spider harness/ECU He could use a spider intake from any car, Turbo or NA(slight mods to the NA are required to use with turbo) He could use ECU and harness form any 87+ Turbo EA82. Spider or not. The problem is trying to use a spider intake with the earlier, switch style TPS, from 85 and 86.

As long a we are talking about redrilling hubs, why not just drill them to 5 lug? Balnce issue is the only thing I can think of -
???? I;ve never had one NOT work? They are easy to adjust. Calebz, I;m sure you know this, but the brake does need to be pushed down really firmly while the clutch is in to set it with enough forcef for the hill holder to work. Remember, it is only holding the pressure in the Left front brake line(one wheel locked). So you need to push approx 4 times the force that it takes to keep the car from rolling with you're foot on the brake(4 wheels locked).
