If it needs an engine, the car is going up for sale The odd part was how it wasnt spewing as much smoke with the untouched junkyard carb, so I dont quite think its the engine itself...

Well I give up. The car is spewing white smoke now. I put in the working choke, then reset the timing according to the service manual (disconnect the distributor advance/retard, and the vacume advance) set it to 850rpms with 8% of timing, then pluged everything back in and disconnected that recirculation silved suction thingy from the air cleaner and pluged it and set the idle for 850 rpms. It idles great, seems to be working fine, but ya its spewing nasty white smoke when you rev it hard and let off the gas... I really dont have any ability to do anything else with it. Also, I'm getting alot of oil from around the PCV valve now...

Alright, im going to try one more combination with the carb, then put the heater hose on, try to set the timing right, then wait for the fuel cap...

I can photograph all the connections if you like. But its the same as every diagram and pic I have so I dont think thats an issue.

How would a bad choke cause the car to act?

Update: Ok, so I gave it another shot with the Junkyard carb... Failed badly, I screwed up the timing thats for sure. Here are the sheets from it: As you can see, its still not idling right, and its still dumping alot of gas... Plus I guess I have to get that lame heater hose on there too. I just did a little more work on my old carb, adjusted the float and the choke some to spec. But basically what I did was take the good throttle off the Junkyard carb and used my rebuilt carb with it... Its on the car and I just started it up before dinner and it ran/sounded good. Im going out now to fiddle with it some more, and maybe try the timing... I still dont know if it will pass like this. I wonder whats wrong this time, sheesh... I'm going to have to give up soon.

EA71 experts, what can cause exessive CO2 Emissions?
Well the car runs pretty well now minus one thing. When I start the car up for the first time after awhile, other than the fact it doesnt idle right away as I left it last night (IE I usually have to turn up the fuel mixture or the idle screw), if I throttle it more than just a tad it will temporarily loose RPMs (via watching the tach) and sound like it wants to die but then it picks back up and revs. Its pretty annoying, and does get better with more driving. However I had the air cleaner top off checking to see if it was spraying fuel when I was doing this (and I think it is) and I tried to throttle it hard once, which cause a nice spark and rather nice mini-boom in my face... That wasnt fun. I looked again (from farther away) and noticed a small spark around the fuel jet when giving it gas... Then one more, time from inside the car, I gave it 100% throttle immediatly while it was idling and got a BIG Boom + small fireball from the intake... Ideas? And yes this is the brand new, untouched, JUNKYARD carb I'm thinking I should put the rebuilt carb back on it, but keep the good throttle and see what that does... However, I saw another post about this kind of problem with an EA motor with a hitachi carb and it was fuel pump/fuel filter related. I do have the OG fuel pump, but It didnt do this before I replaced the carb it had all the other problems and such...

Wiring guru's. Need a little help.
Well I went eenie meenie miney moe and picked the blue ignition wire (next to the yellow/black wire that goes to the starter). It works, but I dont know if its draining power while its off.

5sp AWD vs Auto Transimission AWD
Oh they know all about the "performance" but not the Off road ability I have a friend who does alot of dirt road stuff with his 4EAT WRX, and it seems to work well, but so does every other subaru... I'm just wondering the VTD might have a specific advantage in loose stuff or when wheels end up in the air.

need to add a snorkel, and a splash/skid plate!
Having that MAF in your intake on your '94 makes it a bit harder to fab a snorkel I would think... You might have to get some 3" tubing and some silcone connectors and try to route it closer to the firewall then have it go up either through a hole in the hood or through the firewall up the side of the window through the cowl area.

My '78 is running! Now for some "Aftermarket" Questions...(exhaust, fan, tach, etc.)
Ya, I have all the diagrams for that, but I dont know specifically how I need to connect the wire to the ignition, IE what connectors to use, where to disconnect it at, etc. I dont have any wiring experience its the one area I have Zero training in...

ej head swap 2.2 1.8
Kostamojen replied to tailgatewagon's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNeed to run premium for sure with that. If its an older 2.2, the heads are virtually the same in terms of design, its just the compression chamber thats different.

5sp AWD vs Auto Transimission AWD
Gonna bump this... Is the VTD in the WRX (4.11) and Baja (4.44) 4EAT's an advantage? How about the new 5EAT's with VTD?

pix of my new ride
The headliner and rear seats hold up well in these cars if not abused... My rear seat is perfect, as is the headliner. Clean body is hard to find, but I see some nasty rust you will have to deal with Not as bad as mine, but close. Is there rust around the roof rack?
