Oh and also i have to replace the muffler. What would be a good one with sufficient back pressure? Without the muffler now its guttless. Would any run of the mill turbo muffler be good? Thanks

So i have completed the motor swap into my 94 Loyale wagon. So excited. The motor was just a good running EA82 so just staying stock. I have run into some wiring issues, the oil warning light flickers and is more steady as the motor revs up. Oil level is full. Is this a bad ground or connection maybe? And Only the drivers window rolls down. Where would i look to troubleshoot these issues. Thanks! Weird side note, this loyale's dash doesn't have an oil pressure gauge or voltmeter.

Nice congrats on a good conversion! I just finished my motor swap. Now i just need to chase down some wiring issues with my windows and get a muffler and im good to start customizing it. We will have to go wheel sometime.

Today i finished putting the dash back together and the glove box. For some reason that was all dis assembled. I did however find a couple un connected points and 2 loose wires. I couldnt find the other ends, Any one recognize these hanging just above the clutch pedal? Took off roof rack and the hubs so i can put on new discs and pads too. Saturday is the day the motors are swapped. Lets cross fingers! Oh on the wires, one is yellow with blue striping, and the other is black with a red stripe. And no those 2 connectors dont go together.

Of the white wagon, its blue, the gray one has dark gray worn interrior.

Ok i thought i might just post some info and pics for you all to see. Its not that amazing of a project but it gets me excited. So i have a good running low mileage 90 loyale with a shot body. I came across a good condition body 94 loyale with a blown motor for $150 so i decided to rip into a motor swap and DR tranny while im at it. Here are some pics to look at! Let me know if there is anything i should take into consideration while im swapping this. The DR tranny will be coming from a 87 Gl sedan. I believe 3.9 gearing also. And with all the extra parts, i will be trying out having a welded Diff also! If anyone local needs anything from the gray wagon let me know. zzz:brow: Oh and what i did today: Stripped everything out of the way to pull the motor from the white wagon. Including axles.

Sorry to hijack your picture sprale, and this thread, but my gasket here leaks and im wondering what this gasket is called? Like what would i ask for at the parts store? Valve cover gasket? Thanks

So i researched, and took a picture. When i take a hard left turn my car smokes like a 2 ton diesel whitish blue smoke. But only in that direction. Attached is the photo, and my questions is do i have the updated hose routing or not? I think not? Doesn't smoke any other time visibly through the rear mirror. Thanks Sorry for the bad pic. Nighttime mode sucks on my camera

YES! im awesome! But not at math

Maybe im an idiot, and probably not far from the truth, but if i put in 11 bucks in gas, and can drive 130 miles, im only getting 11 mpg? Wtf

Oh and here is the new Subaru. Just towed her home! I have some alloys but planning on pugs.

Today i picked up my new subaru to transfer the motor out of my current one into. The current loyale is rusted out and not worth fixing the rust, so i got a non running 94 loyale to put the motor in! $150 bucks! With CD player, and Rack and 3 alloys. Anyone locally want these wheels? Come with tires. I will post in the classifieds too. [ATTACH]6847[/ATTACH][ATTACH]6848[/ATTACH]

So i know i have brought this up a couple times, but my Subaru Loyale 90 is totally rotted out. So i have been keeping my eyes open for a donor car. My motor is in good shape. 1.8 EFI and i would like to transfer it to another non running loyale. I found one locally. Its a 94 Loyale, the only differences i see are power windows. No cruise control. I guess my question is this essentially the same Subaru i have just carried through the years? Would this be a direct bolt in scenario for my motor. Both are manual push button transmissions. Thanks for your time

I think im good, only wheel upgrade i might need is some Peugeot's so i can fit bigger tires. One day we will have to organize a small off road adventure or meet.

No ideas? I have searched a bit and come up with general hints to adjusting the clutch and hill holder, just wondering if anyone else has a detailed link or experience with their clutch acting up like this. Thanks

Sweet another Utah subaru guy! We might get a big enough following soon around here that we could do a meet up and wheel someplace soon. Congrats on the find!

So my clutch sometimes will engage at the bottom of the pedal stroke, slip then engage at the top of the stroke in the first and second gear. It it just out of adjustment on the cable? It releases pretty high otherwise. Is there a way to have it engage in the middle of the stroke? Does someone have a link to proper adjustment including the Hill holder? Thank you!

Dang i never look in the rally section till today just to see this was yesterday.

Ok Thank you for the input. before i pull the trigger on this project, would anyone else give supporting feedback to the swapping blocks? I mean will taking a FI'd block and putting it in a Carb'd car work? Bolt in and go right? Thanks Oh and on the power issue, would removing the AC and removing the belt driven fan and installing a second eletric fan bring the power up? I would probably strip all the EFI stuff for a later date when im feeling comfortable with wiring it up.

Ok been thinking again, what about swapping just my block and using its existing carb system? would that work and there would be no wiring involved?

dang i was hoping that wasn't the case. If i have to splice harnessed might as well grab a Ej22. Thanks!

And just for fun or reference heres a pic of both cars. Mine is the wagon.

So i found a parts car locally for cheap. Its an 96 EA82 carb'd sedan with the DR i was going to take for my loyale. Thing is its in better shape body wise than my rust buckett. I searched a bit, and help me if im wrong, but if you were to transplant my SPFI EA82 into his Carb'd EA82 you would have to do wiring harness fun. Am i right? If not is it a pretty straight forward drop in and drive swap? Thank you
