no markings, not sure. probly a generic Ebay DP. 3" made for a WRX I believe. once the engine is bolted in I need to measure it out and shorten it for the EA chassis. And Justin, a job eh? that's pretty exciting news

I NEED A GARAGE!

Um, no. Maybe someday but I'm not exactly willing to give up on the ea series.

also debating, i have a turbo block that looks great! except for this: and a SPFI that has a milion miles on it..... hmmmmm decisions decisions

Today I converted a non turbo head to turbo, what a PITA but it's finished. stripped 2 blocks to inspect, got one MOSTLY prepped to be put back together. tomorrow I should have the engine back in the car.

No real updates as of yet, been a lot busier than I'd like to be, however yesterday I was at a customers house and he was trying to get rid of his 05 stock STI cat back. So I gave him a few bones and wala!

As not to hijack a clutch thread ill pm you later on.

I think F/R LSD will assist in an open diff situation. Also Chux, do you think it would be possible to run a Cusco 35/65 Tarmac center diff in a ea trans?

Could always Prius tires...

I know he wasn't the first, However he was known to say it quite a bit

I'm gunna quote Will on this: Cheap Fast Reliable Pick 2

A good portion of the wiring has been sorted out and the intake has been freed of its useless non go fast bits. Also I got a radiator for it! Will look into 2 rows in the future but right now the weather is cold and I lacked on to start with.... Found out the oil filter thread 3/4-16 Summit racing here I come!

Hey thanks guys! got a question for those in the know. I'm making up a wiring diagram for myself and when it comes to the distributor it says for the plug you have [Ground,Power,Position signal and Reference signal] does anyone know which on is which on reference and position, in other words which on picks up the 360 slots and which one picks up the 4 outer slots? Also i'm assuming "fast idle soleniod" is a Idle air control? or just to speed up idle while the a/c on?

got started on some of the wiring, just laying it out figuring out routing and such. also i have some N/A heads that have been milled but they lack the oil ports for the turbo, so i drilled them out, need to tap the one for the banjo fitting and slap them on. also figured out why my shifter is so sloppy, the joint that attaches to the trans has NO bushing in it at all. now to figure out how to get that bugger off..

I need an opinion should I hack up my console cubby hole and mount gauges here: Or make up some sort of gauge pod thing like WRXs?:

I really love the ea82 but swapping a turbo into a non turbo car is a PITA. I say swap a SPFI onto your carb block and be done. Or trans into the Loyale and build it!

picked up a water temp guage and threw it in a cluster that came out of a volkswagen(i think..) guage to the left is a A/F that was given to me(JohninKY is the man as always) still leaves me needing a oil temp/pressure and eventualy a wideband O2 Felpro headgaskets heading my way, engine coming out this weekend along with mounting the guages and starting on the Haltech wiring. aside from work/crappy weather i've not been able to do any work on it this week.

After personally seeing the rotary RX I'd say there is defiantly enough room foward and for the intake however side to side may be a concern. Also the adapter may not be simple the one on this car was quite large, not sure how that would meet up between the Subaru belhousing and Mazda trans, not to mention clutch alignment and input shaft...

I like it, however I wouldn't touch aftermarket alarm systems with a 3mile pole

2 EASY steps: Sell Lego Buy 2wd ea82 Enjoy 40mpg. Other than that, better air filter/muffler and shed as much weight as possible.

Gunna yank the motor in the next couple days and clean/inspect the clutch, valve area, etc, slap some new head gaskets on it and put everything together, that way I can run 8-10lbs with ease of mind while I prep my other block for 15-18lbs of boost.

Got a little bit more work done today, Pulled the intake(ended up cutting the bolt with a hacksaw blade) Installed XT pitch stopper and mount. Went to mock up the spyder intake and realized there was a bolt stuck in that too! Bah! Ill let that soak too.

Thanks! I'm really digging this car so far, the outside is rough but the inside is pretty mint! Even has the factory floor mats. Probly going to pull the driver seat once it's mechanically sound and have them redo the foam and repair the rips Quick update:pulled the turbo/exhaust. Had one intake bolts snap, tried lots of PB blaster, drilling it etc etc and it won't budge, gunna let it soak for a day or two and throw some heat at it, need to go down and get new exhaust studs(gunna run all 4) and intake bolts first. That way I can mount the turbo and shorten the downpipe and build the rest of the exhaust. Shooting for 2.5" all the way back with a oem Subaru resonator. DP:

Ha, yea me too, ill pretty much be working on it every chance I get cause I've been wanting one for a while, hope to have it running and driving within 2 weeks

Shot out to JWXs house to pick this up: Made it all the way to Florida when the rear tire let loose Anywho it's home now and looking over the car it's pretty good minimal rust, well except for the hatch: No idea how to fix or find a new one....... Anywho!
