Twitch de la Brat

Hey Shawn, would that happen to be "The Bulldozer" or something like that? It has like 500 ft lbs on start and like 350 continuous, right? You, suuuuuck... Twitch PS: I would have bought that, but I wasn't going to spend $500 for an impact wrench when I could get an entire kit for half that. I'm not completely helpless when it comes to wrenching...

Well, now you have more ideas! The EGR valve is the Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve. Basically as I understand it, it is designed to blow unburnt fuel back into the intake so it can burn properly. It also acts as a hot air hose to keep the carburetor from freezing up. But that's only my flawed knowledge, you may want to hear from somebody more experienced. Twitch

If you have a ratcheting wrench of the 1/4" variety you could use that with a philips tip, or a 1/4" regular wrench with a bar magnet or piece of tape on the back to keep the bit from coming out. It makes a killer lo-pro screwdriver. Or you could just buy a swivel tip screwdriver. I bougt a bit driver with like 20 bits with it for 7 bucks at CSK/O'reilly's that has a swivel head. Twitch

Durability I'm not worried about. I know these tools can take a beating, my dad has used them for 3 years+, but he has the 4 piece (same kit minus the impact). But that's what the torque settings on the power drill are for Any other recommended uses for it? Twitch

Well Connie, I tried to test it later, and the car I pulled out of, had the battery terminals pulled when I got back So there was no testing it anyway. Has anybody done ANY testing with a multimeter? I know a lot of computer components are controlled by voltage moving switches and those switches must have some sort of resistance. Does anybody have a dead digidash that they would be willing to test against mine? Like a point to point resistance test. Well, what can you offer you offer? Twitch

I was unable to obtain a battery (people were being sorta snobbish today) so I couldn't test it, but I'm hoping all is good! Is there any way to resistance test it to see if its good? Twitch PS: I'll get pics up soon, I'm unable to right now cuz I'm posting on my phone Twitch

So who wants a Digi Dash out of an 84 Coupe? Yep got it at the spokane Pull'n'save out of a Fwd 5sp 84 coupe with a luggage rack It has 140k on it looks really clean. I would have posted in the fs section, but idk if I'm gonna sell it or keep it. It all depends on the interest. Twitch

I know that it's weak, I get that part, but theses bolts I could reach up and break loose with a a stubby :-\ And I'm no He-man. I guess I'm just asking too much of it. Hmmm, hey Connie, have you been able to see if it has enough torque for lug nuts? Twitch

I recently bought the 5 piece tool kit from sears, and I've got a few Q's about it. The impact wrench is rated for 900 pounds per inch, but isn't able to break loose bolts on my tranny crossmember :-\ The power drill seems to have more power than impact wrench Has anybody had experience with these tools? I've used the other tools without any issue, but the impact wrench seems rather wimpy. Twitch

Well Bill, I'm glad I sold it to you. At least you're willing to polish and drive a turd :-p And doesn't it feel nice to have some barely broke in internals to play with? I'm glad you're willing to do what's right to an old subaru Twitch

Are you talking about the front of the engine where the crankshaft pulley is? Is it situated directly behind the pulley and goes up to 20"? I'm not too sure that is essential. I completely rebuilt the top end of my 2.2 and I never needed to use those marks. Twitch

I say its a tossup between these two. I think the XT6 ute would be the most unique, plus the 5 lug bolt pattern will allot for bigger wheels and tires. The Imp would be cool and require the least amount of mechanical customizing, but the amount of body work to make it look right would be a pain. Twitch

SO does that deserve a ? Lol, I love the first gen Imp's. Especiallly the wagon/hatches. Twitch PS: How is it over yonder in the netherlands?

You should sooo do an XT. There are so many around here getting junked it isn't even funny! I could buy one for $600 and bring it down to you or have Bill come get it. Its an XT6 and needs new HG's. if you do, if you don't. Twitch

I'll have engine pics as soon as it is out of the car... Anyway, here's the official dellorto site, and the specs. I have yet to check the jets and barrel diameters on my stock hitachi, but if anybody could help me if they already have the stock numbers... I'm looking to go bigger, but a lot of the info they list is greek to me GD, or anybody for that matter, please give me a little guidance on these carbs, I know I bit off more than I could chew, but I'm willing and need to learn this stuff. I'm currently trying to get some specs from RAM performance, but I have to wait until tomorrow to find anything out. :-\ Thanks in advance for any and all support! Twitch(ing)

You do have a point JesZek. The EA82 (with 206k) I just bought only drips a few drops of oil a night, and runs beautifully. And it came from Alaska! And as for the EA81, I would KILL for one of those engines. Having studs holding the heads on and also lacking a timing belt, I believe they would be pretty much the perfect small hi-performance engine. Almost indestructable, ask anyone with one, and all aluminum block and heads, they're light, being a pushrod engine, they are small in size, etc, etc, etc... Twitch

Nice looker! It almost looks like a star wars edition :-p Oh, and if you want to make the pictures appear in your post You can type and then it'll show up like this! Cool huh? Twitch PS: Is that your yard?

Congratulations!!!!! And as for the retuned carb, it may not be the carb, it may be your timing. Let me explain (even though I'll probably get most of it wrong), as far as I know, if you advance your timing it will give you more upper end torque and therefore more acceleration at higher RPM's. If you delay(?) the timing, I believe it gives you more power down low, but I'm not sure, I have yet to do any testing on this. So your disty may have been incorrectly timed on the last tune up and now that it is properly timed, you get more power! Oh, and if its ok with you, I say we should petition the mods to put this banana as an emoticon And so it has company :banana: Twitch

My sentiments exactly. The 3 cylinder justy engine is an abomination of a subaru engine. Although, I would put the EJ20 behind the EJ22. Sheerly for the fact that I have actually worked on the EJ222 and that its earlier iterations were non-interference. Oh and as for the EA82, I hope that subaru BURNS every last paper of the design blueprints for that engine. I'm going to either EJ swap mine, or find an EA81 for it. Twitch

That stinks. It almost makes me regret buying my wagon :-\ I think this engine is the reason people started EJ swapping... I'm thinking about it as I have a spare EJ22 sitting around... Good luck and enjoy! Twitch PS: And of course after the EJ swap comes a lift, then either a 5 lug swap or redrilled hubs...

After gathering some much needed research, I'm partly on my way to getting parts and the like for this project. I've found a brand of carbs that are already sealed, but I don't know about their quality or tuneability. The brand is dellorto, and I did a little research on them, and it seems that really the majority of the carbs they have are for motorcycles. Its no problem as long as they can provide the needed amount of fuel, as I am building a custom intake manifold. Does anybody have any experience building or tweaking these carburetors? Is there any other online resources I could use for carb tweaking or more info on sealed/sealing carburetors? (I got my info from http://www.dune-buggy.com/turbo/index.htm) Twitch

Might want check that tranny again. 80-84 wagons are EA81 engines and they were mated up to a 4sp d/r. 85-89 wagons were EA82's and they had a 5sp d/r. It may have been swapped out, but an 84 should have a 4sp d/r if its from the factory. Twitch

Ok, that sounds a little better. That's good, I didn't think he did, but you never know Yeah, I figured, I've known a Kelly (guy) or two in my lifetime. Anywho, how did the stang fare? It looked like he was doing pretty good, but that's only from the pix Twitch

Awesome Job Man!!! That is some nice driving by your driver. Earl, is that the name I heard? Anyway, nice video too. At about 8:20 in the first video, I swear i almost hear the navigator cuss. And as for the picture link, who's the hot chick in the second picture? lol Cool stuff, keep it coming!!! Twitch

Yeah, I know the Lube shop went out of biz. Too bad too :-\ I wasn't sure if it was his or not. I was thinking that I'd ask the police to run the plates If its abandoned I was contemplating seeing if I could claim it Twitch
