forged rocker arms? lol, seems like a weird thing to be forged. -
Crank and Rod question on turbo block....
JackV posted a topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Ok, I've searched and i've been gettind 2 different answers, Are the Turbo ea82 blocks forged rods and forged crank and cast pistons, or is it ALL cast? please someone give me a true answer... -
for the time being i could care less about emissions, Until my state starts doing emissions testing i'm removing everything i can to clean the engine bay. Cats are already gone, EGR is going to get removed even though it wont clean things up it's stuck closed anyways so no point in having it.
-
I know, I'm just looking to clean the engine bay up. and i dont have to worry about emissions.
-
What do you have to do exactly to remove the charcoal canister on my 87 rx? just pull the lines or are there vacuum lines that i have to worry about?
-
i have an EXTREMELY floppy shifter, Is there any way to tighten it up or anything? i can move the shifter in gear as if it were in neutral. It's hard to find fifth if i have a passenger because my had pretty much goes on there lap, it's pretty weird when your riding with another dude....

Ok so i know there's the boost solenoid and the waste gate, but it seems like there's something else restricting boost, other than the size of the turbo itself. I've found that my ea82t usually boosts 10psi with the wastegate unplugged and the boost solenoid gone (boost solenoid fell and melted the connector so had to junk it) but it is now currently only boosting about 4psi, I'm assuming i have a boost leak somewhere. It runs and drives fine in low RPM's and just is a dog in upper RPM's when there's supposed to be boost and there's only 4 psi. Is there anything else that somehow limits boost? I'm running a TMIC right now. I'm thinking about takeing it off for now and seeing if that makes a difference. btw i was trying to blow the motor up when i did that, but now i just am curious as to why it would boost max 10psi.
-
wow that was alot of good info, thanks you guys.
-
does anyone know the torque split on an 87 RX?
-
I'm amazed right now, I love this build...
-
Is it possible to swap one onto an ea82 subaru? Just thought i'd ask, I have one that my friend is trying to sell so i just thought i'd ask if anyone knew. thanks.

1987 Subaru RX falls on its face/wont boost
JackV replied to JackV's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
it was the maf that died, it was reading 3v just at idle so it was just dumping fuel in for no reason -
Will they fit on an EA subaru?
-
Ok so this just started happening, and i dont know what is going on. But when i go WOT anything after 4K it just sputters like it's hitting a fuel cut, but i know it's not. It just started happening about a week ago. and i dont know what could cause it. it's a 1.8 turbo, compression is 150psi across the board
-
well from what i've researced, megasquirt will be the best for what i want. I dont know why i didn't think if that before...
-
So are there any engine management either chips or monitors that i could get for my 87 RX, I'm thinking about getting a SAFC, but i dont know if that'd be a waste for this. But i mainly want something that i can monitor everything thats going on, and i know a safc can't do that.
-
How do i check for codes?
-
Ok so I've already changed the plugs, gapped to .040, and it's still stuttering, It's the EA82T In first it pulls hard, 2nd it kinda starts to stutter, 3rd, 4th, and 5th it stutters bad. What causes it to stutter? Would wires, and cap and rotor possibly fix that?
-
So are there any RX performance parts out there? so far i have came up with nothing, i can't even find history or how much they are worth. I'm assuming that they are pretty rare? or people just dont do anything with them? But i'm looking for the stock Lip cover, or whatever you want to call it. and just some parts to price. Also are there any interchangeable parts? like between the WRX and what not?
