[GL Dashboard to DL Swap]

Hi Guys:

 

Recently i acquired an old '92 GL and take off the dashboard. My car is a 89' DL. I want to swap these dashboard from GL, because my car haven't a tachometer but is not easy to install because the pins are not the same.

 

Any ideas are welcome.

 

Best regards,

 

Luis

Hi Guys:

 

I still working on my car. I need help with some issues...¿Anyone knows if i can swap a dashboard from a subaru GL to my subaru DL?. In first place, the connectors are not the same, but maybe i can do something to fit it?

 

Best regards

 ...the Third thing is the Fuel injector itself, if your EA82 has the MPFi setup, but if your engine has SPFi...

JesZek, i don't understand that part. ¿what do you mean with MPFI setup? my EA82 engine is SPFI

Hi Guys:

 

The fuel pump works excellent, no more problems. But...the engine still work on rough idle... I change hoses, fuel pump, spark plugs, check vacuum hoses, but nothing. One piston doesn't work. I check the spark plug and cable and both works correctly, but if i remove the spark cable nothing changes, the engine still working bad  

 

I need ideas about what is wrong.

Yes, also looks nice to me.

 

Have you received your New Fuel Pump?

 

Kind Regards.

 Yes, arrived yesterday. Here's  some pics:

 

 

 

It's from a Ford Ranger, i think that i need to adapt the pump because the hoses are more big, no?

I bet you used Green LED lights, isn't it?

 

Looks Good. Kind Regards.

 

Hi JesZeK:

 

No, i just use white led lights, the dashboard numbers are green. Looks nice to me.

I only have one problem. As you can see, there are many "holes" without lights, so i don't know if i need to buy more leds light or not...

 

Best regards,

[My DL 1989]

No problem, i ask because i build them.  http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/148582-anderson-design-fabrication/

 

So my prices are shipped within the U.S. but if your interested i could work on getting a quote for shipping for you?

 

Patrick

 Sure! Please send me an PM with the cost.

[My DL 1989]

Gorgeous wagon, looks clean!! How much do you think shipping would cost from the states to Chile for the 2" lift kit?

 

Prwa

 

Thank you for your comment. I don't know how much would cost the shipping, depends on weight and the shipping method or company.

I didn't found in my city...

It is important to know if your 1989 Subaru DL Wagon,

 

has the EFi or the Carbureted Engine.

 

Kind Regards.

 

Hi JesZek:

 

It's an 1989 DL SPFI engine.

I found this alternative fuel pump, it's ok?

 

 

Is noisy?

 

Greetings

[My DL 1989]

Honestly, if the Fuel Pump is getting bad, it could left you stranded in the Middle of Nowhere, so your only "Cheap" alternative to a Genuine, brand New Subaru Fuel Pump, was already pointed by MilesFox: Use one for a Dual Tank Ford, it also is External and could come from a Junk Yard Car.

 

Kind Regards.

 

Edit: I called a previous owner and tell me that the fuel pump installed in my car is from a Peugeot. Which one is the original fuel pump for my car? (number). i found a Bosch alternative, but i need to compare with the original.

As MilesFox wrote, the Fuel Pump is outside the Tank and easy to Change, look at it next to the Tank. It also could be Loose and / or having a clogged Fuel Filter issue.

 

Worth starting by Changing the Fuel Filter...

You're Welcome!

I change the fuel filter, but the fuel pump it's too expensive!! (at least here). what other alternatives i have?

Hi guys:

 

I still trying to repair my car. But i have a problem. The car make a sound constantly like a bee. It's not the engine, because i check the engine and the sound is in the rear and maybe it's the fuel pump...¿it's in the fuel tank?

 

-The engine still vibrating at low rpm...i change the filters, clean the injector, check the vacuum but still happening...any ideas? (Thanks JesZek for the advices)
