  1. Thanks man. I appreciate the time you take on answer the threads on here. See your posts in all the EJ Q threads. I also have your pdf in my phoe and my computer ;)

     

    So if I just put the walbro in straight away it wouldn't ve a problem, good. So I'll do that and change all the rubber lines. Should I just get regular rubber fuel lines or braided steel ones?

  2. What do I need to do with my fuel system in my carburated L-Series so I can run the N/A 2.0l EJ motor?

     

    I know that I cannot use the carb fuel pump, could I use the fuel pump from a Loyale SPFI? Or maybe a EA82T pump?

     

    I have a Walbro 255lph that goes in the car when my turbo EJ motor will be ready next year but I'm doing a N/A swap first so I can fix everything this year that needs to be fixed and do my 5x100 swap and suspension and I want to have the car running whilst I fix it.

  3. I love how quick you guys are to reply to problems on this forum :D

     

    I'm going to dig in and try to fix this problem this weekend. I haven't noticed any check engine light so far.

     

    The to-do list:

     

    (The easy stuff first)

    - Check for ECU codes

    - Air filter

    - Check sparkplugs and wires

    - Compression test

    - Fuel pressure test

    - Check for vacuum leaks

    - Coil

    - Checking all grounds

    - Unplug and clean all connectors

    - Fuel filter

    - Injection cleaner

    - Drive with the gas cap off

    - Check for leaking fuel pressure regulator

    - Check for exhaust leaks

     

     

    - New temp sensor

    - Clean/change the MAF

    - Change the fuel pump and check the sock

    - Crank sensor

  4. Just bought an Subaru Leone EA82T '87. Fires right up no problem and drives great. But 10min into the drive I start noticing a slight hesitation on throttle, like a plug wire problem would feel like. Then the car starts to lose power and starts to sputter and bog and backfire until it doesn't have the power to drive on and stalls. Then I have to wait up to an half an hour to be able to get it running again. Any thoughts on this?

  5. And one more regarding the shifter. SubaruTex's info indicates that you can't use the ea82 shifter boot and interior dye ti a further back location of the shifter. How did you make your interior piece fit?

  6. Hi. I've been reading alot on the 5x100 swap on a EA82 but I can't find the info I need.

     

    I have a n/a w drumbrakes in the rear and I want to upgrade the brakes and to 5x100. I already know i can modify in easily in the front but I was thinking how to do it in the rear. Where I live it's really hard to come across turbo disc brakes and not even a slight chance getting XT6 parts. Can I somehow upgrade with custom work my drum brakes to impreza disk brakes in the back or do I need to get ea82 turbo disc brake stuff first.

     

    Also if anyone here can source me XT6 rear hubs and trans mounts and ship them I can transfer the money for it and also pay for your troubles ;)

  7. A couple of years ago my Leone '86 motor broke down and I replaced the motor with another one which came out of a running car.

     

    I started the motor and it ran fine for a few minutes. Drove it around but I felt some power loss. I drove it home and let it cool down. When I tried again the motor wouldn't make any compression and the crank sound was a solid whine...

     

    I took the motor out and I found out that I had some vales stuck open. I got an extra pair of heads and replaced them.

     

    The same happened again when the motor cooled down, tho it never overheated or nothing. Valves stuck open.

     

    I got another complete motor and swapped it in. Same thing happened to that motor. So I gave up and the car has been sitting for a few years.

     

     

    Do you have any explanation for this or any theories?

  8. I went by the yard today and had an opportunity to remove a couple of these back window trim pieces. And it is true that you need to slide the trim piece upwards to unlock and remove. But, first you must pop the lowest fastener loose the same way you pop a door panel fastener loose. Then the whole trim piece can easily be slid upwards and removed.

     

    Thank you so much, now I just have to cross my fingers and try it on mine

  9. I'm planning on keeping my stock wheelhubs, I have 3 sets of redrilled 6lug rims with 195/45R15 tires mounted ;)

    Does anyone have any pictures of their setup? With or without the 5lug swap.
