  1. I just swapped a 97 2.2 into a 98 outback 2.5. First time doing this, had a few snags but it runs great. My question regards mil light aka check engine light. So far I don't have one. Used the 2.5 Maf and ecu. Who has gotten mil's? And did they come on immediately? From my knowledge of computer controls an eye or Maf code would come on once the computer goes through it's basic checks.

    Am I free and clear?

  2. He does have quite the stash.

     

    Unfortunately he is much too expensive. NOTHING there is cheap.

     

    Last fall he had 5 EA81 rigs in there. 2 wagons, 2 hatches, and one sedan.

    All of them in remarkable shape (body, glass, lenses)

     

    I asked him about them, he said he was going to hang onto them to part them out.

     

    I checked a few weeks ago, and they have all been sent to the crusher.:(

     

    I actually work part time for Everett. He is the cheapest scrap yard in the area in my opinion. He still has I think 4 or 5 gl/loyale wagons and sedans out in the yard, mainly ea82 stuff though.

  3. Hey, I was recently looking through my local Scrap yard and came across a full set of these Aluminum Rims with a 4x140 Bolt pattern that I have never seen. Has anyone ever seen or heard of them? they are made in England by a company called KN Engineering. Here is hopefully a picture of one. I am Gonna bead blast them today, and maybe get them Powder Coated. I also found a nice set of 185/80/r13 to go on these rims, they are an old tire size, and they have a pretty aggressive tread.

  4. MPFI Will give you better power (Like maybe 7-10 Horse) and maybe better gas mileage, it disperses the fuel in a more efficient way.

    On SPFI the fuel enters at the throttle plate, and has to go all the way through the intake runners, so when the engine is cold and even warm, some fuel will stick the the walls. (that is why performance engines often have port/polished intakes, less to stick to). With MPFI you are injecting the fuel directly before the chamber and you get more bang for your buck.

     

    Swapping turbo MPFI heads will not help you. Turbo Head compression ratio was 7.7:1, and the stock SPFI was 8.7:1. Basically when you have forced induction you dont need a high compression ratio, because the turbo more tan makes up for it. But you could probably look for MPFI heads off of an old 80's Subaru XT which was an EA82 engine non turbo with a MPFI system. You will not lose the compression ratio that you will with turbo heads.
