will the heads from an ea82 block work on an ea82t?
the intake ports are different. the heads will bolt up. the exhaust will bolt up. but the intake will not bolt up. the turbo has duel ports, the NA has a single port...

Spider intake on an 88 gl turbo
Also dont forget the timing marker that is on the front of the engine, with the spider, its hard to see the mark on the flywheel. if you are going with a maga squirt, i would get the spider intake. if you are intereste, i have a polshed spider with a GM TB on it with the GM 4 wire IAC. and a GM TPS. this will make idle control much easer with a Magasquirt. let me know if you are interested...

finaly made it home from WCSS11! With one more seat occupied.
he is way to small for this shirt, but im sure it will be his favorite soon... Carter Lee Lewis was born on September 5th at 10:22 PM after waiting in the hospital for one week (and 12 minutes) on bed rest. He weighed 5 lbs, 6 oz at birth and is 18 and 3/4 in long. My wifes water broke while we were at WCSS 11, saturday night right before bed. We went to the nearest hospital - a 45 minute drive to Beverton (just outside of Portland). After not going into labor, they sent us to a hospital closer to home (Overlake) via ambulance. my wife went into labor on Saturday night and had him very shortly thereafter. We went home Monday night. He had to stay in the NICU because he came 4 and a 1/2 weeks early, but only for a 6 hour study, then he came back to our room. He is small and sleepy, but otherwise doing well. More info and lots of pictures at: www.suberdave.com/Carter

one piece driveshaft ? ea82
i am running a one piece driveshaft on my 88 GL-10. but i am running a 6sp trany. the angle is close, with the EA trans it would be better. i dont know if i would do it again. i would probably just go with a newer 2 piece shaft, i dont know if the one piece has any advantages.

Engine only harness - VSS Simulator
you could use a speed sensor from a late model trans. it screws into the speedo cable hole. and is a two wire sensor. if you want one to try out. let me know i have a few of them. from putting newer tranys into older cars. you just pull them out and screw the cable in the same hole... i think tha makes since.

2000 2.5RS axles in 87 GL Wagon?
they will work just fine. All you need is a 5 lug swap, using Impreza or Legacy front hubs and a trany with 25 spline axels. say RX FTAWD D/R. or Turbo S/R. other than that they will work just fine.

If I wanted to sell my car, What should I ask.. Very modified GL-10
True, however at the rate the economy is going, in 20 years, $5000 will be equal to todays $500.

If I wanted to sell my car, What should I ask.. Very modified GL-10
I would say ~1800 to $2000. I sold my lifted GL-10 for $1800 with a EJ22 swap RX FTAWD D/R and LSD. But if you find the right buyer you may get more.

Safety Brain Tickler'-Utah
to heck with the code. i want to know how you bent a sway bar. unless you heat it up with a torch. you cant bend a spring steel bar. that is what it is ment to do. bend then bend back to its normal pos. just food for thought.

ea2ej swap- Want to keep AC. Any ideas?
i did a EJ to EJ turbo swap, and kept the A/C. the only differance is about 4 wires that have to be connected... tge bigest problem will be getting the compressor to connect to the engine...
-
XT6 vs. Legacy steering knuckles?
the reason the EJ impreza axles are to long for me, is i have a 6 Speed in my wagon now. the 6 speed is a bit wider than the 5 speed.

DCCD!!! it works!!!
yeah the delux will plug into the IP and show the lock applied to the diff. if you already have the stock controls. you can cut off the big black knob and put the stock controls. he has a how to on dccdpro.com
-
DCCD!!! it works!!!
I bought my DCCDpro used for way cheeper than i could get the stock computer. and it only takes 5 wires to make it work. two to the diff, one ign power, one ground, and one to the TPS. took about 20 mins to make it all work. the stock computer would take that long just to look at the wiring...
-
DCCD!!! it works!!!
mounted the G sensor right next to the parking brake. center of the car, best place for it IMO.

one peice drive shaft on a GL?
well it will work. hoever i had to drop the rear diff 1/4in. its a close call between the shaft and the tunnel. i dont have any pics of it in the car, but here is a pic of the old and new shaft. reason for doing a one peice shaft, is the 4EAT shaft i got from a wreking yard had a bad joint. it also had a qustianable carrier bearing.
-
DCCD!!! it works!!!
well i had the day off today, i got the DCCD working on my 6 speed. i think its the only GL-10 in the word with a working DCCD... works awesome. i can totaly tell the differance when it is turned up or down... i have STI roll switc on the way but for now it just has a big black knob.
