  1. On an 86 gl-10 ea82 turbo engine can someone send pics and show me please
  2. My car takes a while to start even in the warmth, the starter turns over and the alternator and battery are brand new what is wrong?
  3. also i think the maf sensor is bad on the intake hence the fluctuating idle
  4. ok ill check the hoses. and just wondering why wouldn't you use the stop leak stuff??
  5. i dont know if this helps but i have no muffler and i straight piped the exhaust from the turbo back so will having no back pressure throw sensors off or anything? like an o2?
  6. my car has been fluctuating at idle and i checked the vacuum lines and they are all connected and sometimes it dies at idle too, my coolant level always diminishes within a couple of weeks and i have to refill it, there are no leaks or anything and i checked the oil dipstick and it was 3/4 full so a 1/4 low below the full sign. i put another half to 1 quart in and that filled it up but im wondering if i should get that stop leak stuff you put in your coolant to prevent the old headgasket leaking water/coolant/oil blah blah into the pistons so my car can run better, i live in colorado so it gets below 0 degrees every night
  7. i want to do a 5 lug conversion and i noticed one is for sale but it isnt in good condition compared to my 4 lug hubs
  8. My Wagon has the 4 lug on it most of you already know, and i was wondering if i got new rims will they have a support for the center axle end that sticks out of the rotor through the rim or will i have to do a 5 lug conversion or get longer lug studs to have clearance over the hub
  9. can you post a how to in this thread please? thank you
  10. My front wheel bearings are bad according to a mechanic at a firestone shop, he says i need a bearing press and new wheel bearings to fix it and they said it will cost $600 bucks. I know for a fact this can be done cheaper than that can anyone sell me front wheel bearings i need 2 of them. Front left driver, Front left passenger. i know something is up cause it shakes when you slow down so the c clamps are loose on the hub and i tightened it but it still persists
  11. I have an 86 wagon ea82t with 175,XXX miles on it. The clutch has to be pressed to the floor to grab the gear, anything that lights up operated by a button has to be flicked a couple of times around to work. it has digital everything, "i think" blown turbo, leaking/burning fluid power steering pump, front wheel bearings are loose so it rattles when you slow down. Here's the question. how should i fix all of this if i wanted to upgrade performance wise my ea82-t i know ive heard that they blow up and if thats the case i want to swap an ej20/25 in but i have know idea how to do any engine swaps/custom fabrication/performance upgrades/or let alone know how the stuff in the special boxer engine subaru designed. I need help and i would be much appreciated with any help. im just looking for someone to mentor me along the way to making a true "death wagon" that i can rally around with and have some get up and go. I recently bought a fmic with greddy type rs bov to put on it and hoping to learn everything i can about this model of subaru and its potential in being volatile in performance. thank you
