Green and black code connections on 90 legacy
TOONGA replied to Berdave's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAll that will happen is that the computer will continue to clear any code that shows up. Once the plugs are all disconnected you may find that you engine throws a code. TOONGA

Different motor different design You would be better off looking for a complete "FB" motor and then finding an after market computer system to run it. TOONGA

Need help chasing this oil pressure ghost after reseal.
TOONGA replied to Corvid's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXHave you checked that the oil sender switch is working properly? is it the original sender? Can you check the actual oil Pressure? Did you change anything on the oil pump? is it the original oil pump? What weight oil are you using? TOONGA

80 gl conv rwd?
They work really well as a rear wheel drive. I did it to an 82 wagon, I used 2 old Outer CVs and popped the box into 4WD. I drove it for a month or 2 before I sold it to a young guy who used it as a burnout vehicle. he had a ball in it and the only reason he stopped driving it was because the motor blew up. as I understand it the diff and gearbox live on in another vehicle. Do it and have a good time. TOONGA

4x140 to 5x100 bolt pattern adapters
Would love a set of these (4) but Im pretty sure the shipping cost to Australia would make it easier for me to find a machinist here to do it. They look great and the cars look even better with the 5 stud rims on them. TOONGA

Is there a way to weld this captive nut? Cut frame rail and have limited access
TOONGA replied to idosubaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYou need to use a welder with gas or a good stick welder If all else fails get a hole saw and cut a hole above the bolt. then oil the bolt and slip a spring washer and a nut on the bolt. then tighten it up using what ever tools you can to get it nice and tight.

Weber WOT on start up
From the look of your attached image you only have the standard weber return spring attached to the carby. I would hazzard a guess that the venturi forces are forcing your main butterfly open (the engine is sucking enough air to open the butterfly) causing the engine to rev harder causing the butterfly to open futher until it pulls the secondary open causing the WOT. Just a guess, but Ive seen it happen years ago to an old 186 holden motor that ran until it disemboweled itself... funny and sad at the same time. TOONGA

Mystery Nut in the PCV hoses, 85 Brat
What condition is the internals of the engine in? good compression ? bad compression ? It could be that the engine had a great deal of blow by, so they blocked that pipe to stop some of the oil and gases venting into the aircleaner. Try it without the nut and see how the engine runs. If it is good and no blow by, then great. if not then you may need to look at what is causing the blow by. (if excessive) I would be concerned about the "water" as well was it water or clag glue looking? TOONGA

aggravation
The hardest part of the installation is the undoing of the snap bolts that the complete ignition surround is installed with. the other way to do it is to release the barrel from the surround via the locking tabs. I found it easier to replace the whole lot. I used a centre punch to loosen the snap bolts, or you can drill the heads off then use locking pliers to undo the bolt shaft. I took the steering column out of the junk yard car it was way easier. TOONGA

Help with PCV system please
Looks like it was plugged to stop the quart of oil in the air cleaner at high speed problem. Is your PCV working (the valve) a couple of links with diagrams for how the plumbing should work http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/120425-pcv-routing-for-ea82-with-a-weber/ http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/131036-1987-gl-10-wagon-ea82-3at/ note both links are for engines running webers but the diagrams should be useful.

brumby bratt wheel bearings
could be the cone washer or that you didn't do up the nut tight enough. Or both. I use a 3/4 inch truck breaker bar with a 36mm socket on it. the breaker bar has a 4 foot long inch square steel pipe that slides over it. I tighten the nut up as much as possible using the 4 foot bar, then stand on the breaker bar and tighten it about another quarter of a turn. TOONGA

Replacing the Idle speed air control (IAC)
Did you replace the whole unit or just the solenoid on top? If just the solenoid on top the it has to be ajusted so that the engine runs at around 750 -- 800rpm at idle. If you replaced the whole unit ( with a new one) it should idle at around 750 -- 800rpm once in place. see this video TOONGA
