2 questions, Did you check the fues links by the battery? Did you check the ground wire for the instrument cluster, which is hidden by and is above the fuse block?

First check the codes from the ECU to see if it's something else. If it is a bad sensor code, try connecting the WB to a 42ohm resistor and ground the other end of the resistor. This should fool the ECU in thinking that the coolant temp is 187F.

Pull the vacuum line off of the vacuum modulator and see if there is any fluid in the line or comming out of the modulator. It's pretty common for the modulator to go bad and allow fluid to be sucked into the engine through the vacuum line.

GD There's a good chance that an SPFI piston would rase the CR in a EA81 but someone would need to take some measurements of an SPFI piston in order to determine what the CR would end up being. Tom My earlier post dose include the combustion chamber volume when figuring CR.

Well I just got done talking to my friend that could only make it on Sundays. It turns out that he has EMT classes on Sundays until April. So on that note either Saturday or Sunday works now. How about the 14th of FEB, that way we can all take our special someones to a Subaru meet for Valentines Day.

the ea81 fuel pump is rated at 1.35-2.06psi at 7.4 gallons/hr

Here is a snapshot from the spec page in a 86 FSM.

well i cranked out some numbers. damn, why did I have to go to engineering school okay, lets start out with what we know about the EA81. Bore=92mm stroke = 67mm CR=8.7 from this we get a displacement/cylinder of 445.3898737 cm^3 Now to determine the CR with EA71 pistons you first need to determine what the Min volume and Max volume (min volume + displacement) is, of a EA81 cylinder and combustion chamber. Now we know that CR = Max/Min and that Min=Max-Dis. The 2 equations can be combined and be written as Min=(CR*Min)-Dis. Now this can now be rewritten as Min=Dis/(CR-1). From here we get Min Volume= 57.844 cm^3 Max Volume= 503.2338737 cm^3 CR=8.699845683 Now Ken say that the difference in the pistons is about .010in or .254mm which is a volume of 1.688492954cm^3 (Edit I had mm^3 there when it should be cm^3.) So with EA71 Pistons Min Volume= 56.15550705 cm^3 Max Volume= 501.5453807 cm^3 CR=8.9313659 So it would be safe to say that an EA81 with EA71 pistons would have a CR of 9.0:1

I've seen atleast one of those going down the road.

I've been told that at TDC a 1600 piston is the same distance from the deck of the block of both ea71 & ea81 engines; and that the heads for both have the same volume for the combustion chamber.

1600 pistons are only 9:1

Sounds like a broken timing belt to me too.

Yeah I was thinking that one of the Mike's drive-ins would be great, But dosen't that on only have like 5 tables or has it expanded since I was there last. The one in sellwood is much bigger and has more parking.

All of the console used the same size radio.

I would like to do this on a Sunday, maybe the 15th or 22nd of Feb. That way a friend of mine who has Sundays and Mondays off can come. Any suggestions on a location? Ideally some place that we can get some food and has plenty of parking.

I had this problem a few weeks ago. I ended up opening the mastercylinder and pushing the float up and down a couple of time. I have not had any problems since.

Anyone want to do a simple meet and greet in the next month or two; maybe another meet-up at the A&W like we did last winter?

Let's see there is an EJ22 under the hood. A EJ25 block and a EJ22T block on the back. So that 2.2+2.2+2.5 = 6.9

I supect that the oil is leaking out of the turbo.

The last time I looked at a Subaru parts book, EA82 4wd and EA82T 4wd uses the same disk and pressure plate.

The motor may have finally died, or there is something else that is putting more load on the motor then it can handle.

Bumb, I would like some info on this too

FYI a windshield from a coupe may not work on a Brat. Then again maybe it will. I can't remember what the interchangeability is between the hatch, brat and coupe.

And I can't be in two places at once :boohoo:

Yeah he did add a turbo later on.
