86subaru

we also get togather 1 time ayear , + go junking

that is where i found them , for my 88 turbo full time 4wd inner / outter,

parts bin has sealed bearings , + any order over 50 bucks is free shipping ,should have them in 2 -3 days , but it may not the front bearings

around here , aleast western ohio, maybe alittle higher price, because brats are no more , still can find mid-80s ,but those are getting harder to find

my 88 turbo a/t full time 4wd wagon, 111,000mi gets 23 mpg city about 24 hi way. 88 dl d/r 192,000mi gets 24 city 28 hi way , 84 brat not real sure , because i am not going to drive her on the salty ohio roads

after 2 weeks of a after market one, mine did the same thing , i took it out put it into a pan of boiling water to see if it would open up and it did not , got a oem from the dealer

no new drive axles were put on either side , because they were good when i sold the car , or wheel bearings either , they also were good,parts bin is good place to get subaru parts,

kn air filter , 2in or larger exhaust from cat back, ngk plugs, good wires, keep carb cleaned out ,

alum foil wrap type if i remember around the coolant line ,

turbo + coolant lines under the turbo ,

on a gl there should be a oil pressuse gauge , everyone has there choice of oil , but after trying mmo, tranny fluid, use a wix, oem, napa gold, mobile 1, oil filters, . in my opinion 5w-30 is to thin , in the summer i have used 20w-50 , winter 10w-40 , i just started using wal-mart brand full synthetic 10w-30 , in my 88 turbo a/t full time 4wd wagon, [111,000,mi] , 12.67 5qt jug, , now in my 88 gl d/r 5sp wagon with 192,000mi i am using amsoil 10w-40 , aleast 5-10lb more oil pressure and drips less ,but while trying tranny fluid or mmo for a few day , go to wal-mart and get there regular brand 1.16 qt , [ like 20w-50 ] + add tranny fluid or mmo

underneith the turbo there are 2 lines 1 for coolant 1for oil, both mine were leaking ,

i just put in wal-mart brand 10-w30 , seems like some wal-marts pulled it from there shelves , all i can find was a 5qt jug

welcome we are pretty close , keep in touch , a few times a year we all get togather around here ,

ok, when miles fox was here last time, he had to put in a bigger stud on one side and the stock one on the other side ,both are tight , but the stock side is the one leaking

changed the exhaust gasket on my 88 turbo a/t full time 4wd wagon [ from napa] passanger side, 1 month later went out again ,some told me to use honda gaskets on the exhaust , i have several exhaust gaskets that will fit , both studs are tight , i have all the tools needed + time etc.. to do it , but just do not want to screw it up worse , what i mean is the studs may not go back in and strip out , it is not loud ,but noticeable , i am sure it will affect mpg , hp , any comments ????? thanks

did you replace the coolant + oil lines going to the turbo ? because they can go bad , i replaced both lines because they were leaking oil+ coolant

welcome

is it for sale

welcomew

i tell them to kiss my butt ,around here not alot of subaru's , but more all the time ,

there is 1 in my home town also, never meet the owner , seen it 2-3 times

this may not be a real fix, but it does work, run 20-w50 or 15-40 oil, + a good filter

the strange thing is , there is no sweet smell or taste , talked to a shop, they said that they may be making there own mix , alcohol , because animals like the sweet smell etc....

thats why the 86 wagon blew a hg , it smells like lemnade ,i have 1/2 gal left , and i have a receipt , i bought 3 gal and used 2 1/2 gal , i wonder how many more jugs are left on the shelf ????? but how can i prove it ?? i found another empty jug that i used
