well, you got idle jets, that are open when idling. you got slow jets, that are just off idle, or may also be called idle jets(depends on carb, i guess) you got intermediate jets, between the slow jets, and the main jets. the different jets, are what makes the different circuits of your carb. they all overlap eachother, as you push down on the pedal further and further.

i hear mud terrains are as bad as it gets for winter driving =/ never driven them myself. i love the bfg ats in the snow. those duelers are great tires, and they last a long time. the only thing i noticed with those, on my buddys rig, is that they dont clean themselves out as nice as the bfgs, between the treads, but they always look muddy, which is kinda cool. not chunks, just not clean like bfg! =] i love tires

heh, just noticed your in minneapolis too, you can come over, and look at mine, not a turbo, but same stuff.

well, if you look at it closely you'll see that theres not that much clutter on that engine to begin with. you can take out the canister, and run your gas tank vent somewhere else. you can weld shut your egr lines. plug the pcv valve, and run breathers on all three crank vents, or plug the crank case vent and run just the rocker box top ones. other than that, its all turbo, or vac disty, fpr, related.afaik =]

its made in japan, not america or taiwan, thats all that realy matters:grin:

not knockin your ride, but that thing aint doin anything.

i swear they will click forever!

guess i shoulda thought about that first. it was the easiest, cheapest way to do it.

ya, i wish i couldjust run my ea81 copper oem one, it was brand new in 2002. but the ends dont fit. and its way too wide.

never thought about that. one has its own port, and the other two share one port.

cool, thats what i mean, everything on the thing is larger diameter than a radiator, including the cross runners, ahd the fins. its about half the size of the length and width of the legacy unit. its either this, or cut out two of my 4 head lights. which might look cool with a huge wide radiator in there. but i will most likely use what i already own.

er27, it has two exhaust ports on each head, and three cylinders feed exh out those two holes, i figured the center combustion chamber would be split between the front and rear exh port. instead the rear one has its own bigass hole and the front and middle one share the same size port. this seems crazy to me. i think im gonna hog out the one that is shared, to try and get em even. that explains the compression readings i got. the engine doesnt wear evenly on all cylinders.

ya, its got alot larger ports than a radiator, if anything else, im worried about it flowing too fast, and not giving the coolant a chance to exchange enough heat. the er27 has two rad caps, one on the radiator, and one on the intake, right after the thermostat. i know i can fill it through the rad cap, on the manifold, but does it need an overflow? im sure it does. im thinking i could plum in a cap, on a t, off one of the hoses, kinda like some saturns did. or drill a hole in the manifold, that the cap can bleed off coolant as it heats up. ??? i think ???

im doin this swap, and its gotta be a super duper low budget swap. i was thinkin about having a custom radiator made, due to space issues, but i was standin in my garage, staring into space, when i see this ford probe intercooler. its aluminum, the spigots are a 1/4 inch too big, but thats no big deal. i filled it with water and it holds about 1/3 more water than a legacy radiator. and most inportantly it fits where i need it to go. i know intercoolers are built a bit differently than radiators, so i hope it will cool off my 2.7, with the help of a front mount oil cooler =].

yar, tighten your belt! =]

my seat that i have done this to isnt lumpy, seriuosly tho, gl seats are butt hammocs. get some nice ones =]

sounds like an alternator to me. or better yet, a voltage regulator inside the alternator. watch for the battery guage, mine goes to 18 volts and does what yo9u are talking about whenever my alt fries.

you slackers =] take the seat out, cut up a headrest, shove the foam in there. viola! good as new, you can even make the other side a little bit stiffer this way. or go get some xt6 seats.

ok, i was looking at abuncha clutches and the xt6 friction disc doesnt seem to be any different than the ea82 ones, other than the larger damper springs. does the pressure plate have heavier springs? what makes it better, or is this just a subaru myth?

take out your radiator, remove motor mounts, slide einigne all the way forward. switch clutch, slide engine back on after you jack up the tranny a bit. works great with a 200lb motor.

put a jack on the front of the motor, to point the rear of the motor down. that angle helps to get it in there.

oh, i just noticed its an 86 loyale, with spfi. me no read so good.=] id leave it. a weber would be a step backwards. as far as im concerned. free flowin air filter, and free flowin exhaust with the catalytic converters gutted, does alot for spfi. and advance the timing a hair.

iac idle air control? try runing with it plugged, see if it makes it run any richer.

theres always the subaru 6s also. aluminum blocks are worth their wieght in gold.

yar, i will be trying this also, as i seem to have come across alot of xt6 stuff lately
