What year is the Euro grey market stuff?
I am interested in a wiring harness and computer from a Euro Turbo EA82.
Thanks,
I think it was an 88 wagon (kinda diferent with the H4 headlight stuff) the guy said I can have it if I want it (cannot title it here anyhow) and I found out it is not wrecked it is a complete 5 sp car with a nice interior. I might just have to do a vin switcheroo here
anyhow I should find out more this week. -
ok, ill be the first here to get started on a wrx killer, it will start out slow cause i need the car to last for a little while, atleast till next summer when i gradualte from lincoln tech. sidenote, i have a 4.0 and nearly perfect attendance, i never had that in highschool. but with the rx, ill be starting out with the turbo upgrade as well as bigger injectors and fuel management, prolly in the form of an APEXi s-afcII, i think. so it will be bigger turbo, bigger exhaust, bigger injectors, new custom headers, xt intake manifold and xt6 tb, wrx intercooler, rising rate feul pressure regulator. thats the first step, eventually ill be getting new cams, then maybe a port and polish, stronger pistons, find a better head gasket(if possible)
and ill prolly figure out what ill do from there, but thats going to be a while down the road, im poor at the moment. i do how ever hhave just about all the parts to do my turbo upgrade, i just need a few more parts and to get hte car to fun again.
You might want to invest into devlar head studs (the kinds used in Porsche race engines with lots of comp. or boost) and maybe see if there is any one who makes a metal head gasket. (most of my experiances are from building Porsche and vw engines)

Not biodiesel just veg oil. Biodiesel requires about half again as much methanol to make so there really is no gain in $$$. Waste Veg Oil is a cool trick you can do with diesels that use a precombustion chamber. Your 300 could use my kit but worst case you would be cleaning injectors every X,000 miles.
Might get to go lookin for subie's this weekend but I don't know what I want or what's avaliable.
Adios
I am going to the junk yard on saturday/sunday to do a quick inventory. Found an 87 4x4 clean no rust ok interior motor? don't know. plus a number of others going to do a good inventory of all of the junkyards here and post it on the pages.

Hola! amigo. Socorro is getting wet! Any day it rains in the desert is a good day. Are you wet?
My wife is gonna let me do it too. I still have the condition that the vegg-o-matic has to go.
byron
Vegg-o-matic? you have a bio diesel car? My wife drives a 1983 Mercedes 300d Turbo. No rain here right now but I agree rain is welcome. I get up there ocasionaly.

Delta Camshaft. URL: http://www.deltacam.com They do Suby cams.
As far as webers, the 32/36 DGEV is the most popular around here. Could use the 38/38 (I think) but that may be a bit much for the 1600; donno. Beautifull car too! Me like!
Thanks for the link. As for the webbers I kind of understand the abreviiations. A DGEV is a Downdraft, G?, Electric choke, V?

I am in good with all of the yards here in New Mexico. Mostly I buy VW stuff but I have always had a soft spot fot the subies..... I am going to go junk yard diving next week (after my wife gets off of leave) and see what I see. The yards here can rape ya but here cash is king. Wave bills around them and they start dropping the price. (once bought a running 1980 rabbit for $50 it still runs today) For the most part the Subaru here is kind of a forgotten car due to the fact that almost every one here is in the military and wants the flashy cars (I have fallen victum to that too but always had a "beater" to play with) So I am going to look in the yards for subies and such (I know where there are 4 or 5 sets of "PUG" wheels for the taking) I will post my finds soon....

I've got an 89 turbo touring wagon with a dead engine. Free for the taking in Northern California. I've put this on the marketplace a few times with no takers, but thought it wouldn't hurt to stick it on this tread.
Keith
Do you have any pics of the car? Is it a 4x4, stick or auto? I have sourced another turbo motor here already out of a grey market turbo (we have German airforce people stationed here) anyhow let me know. I am always up for a road trip.

That would be cool to have a little gtg here. I am mostly a vw guy but this subaru I picked up is kinda special and is making me into a ru guy. If only they made a 2 dr station wagon I think the longer doors would make it easier to get in and out. At 6'5" and 350lb I might be the biggest old subaru driver here.Yes "Little Roo" did, but not an 80-81 (with round headlights)...- Erik - Tacoma, WA -
(Racer - I've got some family down in Las Cruces, maybe we can meet up if I'm down to visit them sometime)
As for cam where and what kind. Do 1800 heads fit a 1600 block (are the valves bigger)
I installed a 2 1/4" exhaust with a flowmaster muffler today (got a little peppier)
With the Weber carbs are there any more that fit I/E the 32/34 DGAS or DGAV

Morgan is spot-on!
Not too much you can do with an EA-71 if you're bent on keeping it - cam, exhaust, and weber (or highly sought after dual-carb setup) Nice car though, looks pretty; GD is right, pretty rare to see now'a'days.
A built EA-81 with an EA-82 5spd would move nicely in contrast to what you have now though...

Thanks for the words of wisdom. I think I am going to keep it for the most part stock. It only has 68k on the clock and is clean through and through. I might see if I can resurect a 4x4 out of one of the junk yards here. (there are about 200 cars in the junk yards here that are clean) the only thing here that don't survive are the plastics.

Ok kinda new to the subaru world but I was wondering if there are any "hop up" parts that can be found on other cars that will interchange with mine. EA71 2wd with a manual tranny. I know with volkswagens you can swap a great deal of parts between years and get some impresive gains. My car runs great but it is a little gutless. Of course I know 68 HP(at best) can feel a little anemic. Any help is apreciated

Kinda new to the whole ru thing. Just picked up a cherry 1980 wagon (ea71) with 68k miles for the bargan price of $850 and wanted to say howdy. I will post pics of the beauty soon.
