EA82T performance & longevity mods
ive recently aquired a parts car (lifted 86 gl10) with full 3" turbo back ex, wrc ic and a bigger turbo. I personally pulled this car from commission due to a lack of structural integrity. the funny part is this thing beat a boosted 240...in 4 hi. Ive always been on the nay side of this debate, but i have an ea82t that runs lots of boost and hasnt popped. lets re hash the knowledge folks....pics please

EA82 Doesn't need any coolant?!?
an ea82 will also run with a broken timing belt.....

EA82 Doesn't need any coolant?!?
Kinda. but not really. EA82s have been used in aircraft too, but i wouldnt trust mine. and i built it. Also the chassis of air-cooled vehicles are an important part of the equation. drive a beetle with bad seals and youll know what i mean, they cease to cool pretty fast, and since theres no empty coolant lines to fool the gauge, you see them overheat. plus they have cooling fins etc. apples and oranges. bottom line here, keep a hg set on deck, youre probably gonna need it now

EA82 Doesn't need any coolant?!?
this is actually a common misconception. subarus are not wasserboxers. they are a take off of the Goliath engine. And I know, no lectures but, get a new rad, you ruined yours with the stop leak. they should call that stuff "stop working" or "stop looking for the real problem with my car" ok so the Goliath thing was covered...ill read next time

Whats it worth (1990 Turbo 4WD wagon)
90% of a subarus value is sentimental. also one must consider the abundance of early legacies in the same price range. ps that oil leak, probably not hgs. redo your cam case after you eliminate valve cover gaskets as the issue.

alright. thank you
Subruise replied to soobie_newbie67's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXresearch cam grinding to get a grasp on why. but, as I understand it, you are basically moving your power band around, based on what kind of characteristics you want your engine to have. low end torque or top end power. i believe lots of people building frankies install them because a) the engines already apart its a performance enhancing build, why not increase the performance a bit more. c) with added compression timing needs jimmied with (i think) hth

'87 Brat engine question
you say you have read different forums about the swap, yet you do not know the hardships ahead of you. read. read. read. otherwise you will screw something up or buy the wrong stuff etc. end result: a pile of useless crap you cant sell anyone because they know better.

What Have You Done to your Soobie lately? (Please post in here and keep it going)
it is important to note that if youre gonna run two belts on the alt that both need to be the exact same belt and the exact same age (or shelf life). if one stretches before the other, it creates problems.
