T'subaru

The diff has been dropped 4" as well as the rest of the rear suspension. The struts have been lowered 6". Ill have to see how it handles the miles I drive and the horsepower im putting under the hood:)

Picked up some mountain bikes for T'sunami Wagon...he's getting racks:grin:

So it begins my '90 wagon, was ea82t / 4eat..been sitting for a year or so picked up a BOSS 4/6 lift an ej20g quad cam engine a set of pugs..( may use ) installed rear lift ( you rock Bill! ) reman axles and a 4:11 to go with the ej 5 speed so far so good, will install front end lift next weekend after picking up new axles

^^what he said^^ Ive spoken with the manufacturer( performance radiator ) and confirmed that #1269 is a dual core with metal tanks and the only inventory was in New Mexico at the time.

If you want to keep it the stock configuration you could go with a new twin core rad that is in stock in your state http://www.usaradiator.com/SUBARU--LOYALE--1990.html As of a couple months ago in stock in NM at 182.00 ( part number 1269 ) My rx has the same issues under boost, you can add an intercooler and there are a couple different ways to go also..tmic,waic etc. You can also modify the core support to go with a Legacy radiator but you typically have to go to hood pins as you have to cut the support quite a bit.

gonna be an awesome rig Bill!

Hi all, Regarding 4eat auto what is the difference between an ea and an ej 4eat? Is it as easy as swapping bellhousings? Thanks, Mark

I think your gl has the ea82t engine...yes?

Ive heard of it being used in hotter climates, but a tmic or fmic would be a good way to go. You can also get new metal tank twin core radiators for the rx's for 180.00. http://www.usaradiator.com/SUBARU--LOYALE--1990.html part number 1269 fits the rx and alot of the L series.

Alot of good stuff in this thread, both pro and con for the ea82T. I have an 89 rx, a lot of fun to drive when it runs well, awesome in snow and ice, and EASILY KILLED by overheating. I would recommend a rx as a toy, a vehicle to upgrade etc. I would not recomend one as a daily driver unless it is has low miles or has had a ton of work.

oops, my bad. meant a subaru site but not by subaru factory

checking shipping services for ya in Oly, Im west on the coast and have them here, could haul this way as 1 option...checking into other options http://www.ups.com/dropoff?loc=en_US check this out, ups stores will package..should be link to Oly locations

haha, what....me make it easy?? ok, ill be nice http://opposedforces.com/

Shipping will definately be more than the purchase price, but if ya gotta have em . I live about a 1.5 hours drive from Oly, but will be around weekends only. I would think about any truck line will handle the shipment, need to check if any will handle a "freight collect" haul for a private individual vs a business. Let me know if I can help. I think the biggest hurdle is getting the stuff packaged for shipping and wether it would be UPS'able or not. You might check and see if there is a business in the "pack and ship business" in Olympia.

May be old news but I just ran across this site by Subaru. opposedforces.com check it out.

Just getting started http://s810.photobucket.com/albums/zz24/tsunamaru/?action=view&current=100_0307.jpg ej20g or ej22..to be decided http://s810.photobucket.com/albums/zz24/tsunamaru/?action=view&current=100_0309.jpg definately getting a Boss 4/6 lift http://s810.photobucket.com/albums/zz24/tsunamaru/?action=view&current=100_0311.jpg deciding on Pugs or a Boss 6 lug conversion http://s810.photobucket.com/albums/zz24/tsunamaru/?action=view&current=100_0308.jpg A few more goodies and it begins

Picked up a "BOSS" lift kit for my wagon:cool:

http://www.ch601.org/engines.htm Heres a link to a fsm for the ea82t motor, but as recommended above getting the factory service manuals are the way to go..ebay usually has several subaru manuals listed.

same issue with my rx, it has an aav aux air valve that was plugged off. ran horrible until warmed up then ran great. ( turbo ea82 )

Salvage title and a hit...bet if you had on level concrete you could do some measuring floor to frame to body and find where its out of whack, that large bumber probly accentuates the problem.

suspension shouldnt have anything to do with it, its a frame - body issue..something has to be bent/twisted. Has a body lift been installed ?

...mid engine EJ20T....:cool:

F O D Dude!! You crack me up:lol:
