Thanks for the manual S'ko.

Wierd. I've had my EA82 well over red-line (as in, around 8000 revs)

Don;t think anyone's pointed this out yet, but my understanding was that the coil was an inducer, not a transformer.

Wow.... nice flames.

Old thread alert! For a second, I thought GD was back.

(Yes I know this doesn't belong in this forum, but I felt the old-skoolers would have rebuilt more motors than the new school crowd. Mods, feel free to move if you disagree) Anywho, I'm about to tear into a high-mile EJ22 for a rebuild. What will make this easier? Any repair manuals I should buy? Any recommendations for a good solevent? What can I do for a bit more power? When I'm done, I'd like as much beans as a EJ25. Possible? Thanks in advance, James

For $3,000... it would be tough to pull off. My vote's for Legacy SS, btw.

Congratulations. Sorry to hear about the cirsumstances that led to you getting the lathe, though.

Well, over the summer I'll be taking a road trip to CO, TX, and most likely Mexico too... you never know.

Yeah, its nice. Thanks for the offers everyone, but shipping's not really going to work out for me. Freak, YGEM.

Ba-bump.

Just about anything.

That's right... for a winter project, I'd like to rebuild a motor. Preferable something with a straight block... high mileage motor would work best butas long as its a Subaru powerplant, sorched pistons, whatever, I'm interested. I'm central-ish CT... willing to drive. Let me know.

I see enough around here... but the Northeast is stuffed full of Subarus.

I might be able to get you one from a yard near me. I'll let you know if they have any.

What I was thinking....

Yup. It's fun to be out mixing it up w/ plow trucks and jeeps in my Sube!

I guess you'd like to keep your source under wraps.

PS - I was browsing your site's WRX conversion page, and do you mind if I ask where your front clip came from?

Wow! I just posted about this car over in Nabisco. Keep us posted if you decide to restore the car Dr. RX

I have both a 1st gen Legacy and a 1st gen Impreza... the Impreza is more fun to drive.. sharper steering, better throttle response, etc... but it also feels more substantial. Of course, might be that the cars in question are a '98 RS and '91 FWD L.... but hey... just thought I'd throw that out there.

Don't think its been corrected yet, but '98 RS' did not have LSD.

Now I feel inadequite working on just two. Might I ask why you're retiring the SS?

Nice pickup. Cheers!
