ugh. the NW USA has some of the worst mold species in the country, I've heard. I'd throw all of that crap away and get an interior out of a GL10. and WHAT HAPPENED?

WWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! congrats! you officially have the SECOND lifted subaru in Spokane... the first (the only other one I know about) is an Outback wagon with a Scorpion kit.

yeah, Will's not NEARLY as expensive as the dealer would be. He probably knows more about "old" subarus than whoever works at the dealer anyway.

i've never taken apart a subie auto, but i think the flexplate bolts on the same way the flywheel does. that might mean that you could enlarge the holes on an EA flywheel matched to the trans of course.

i couldn't believe how loud my wagon was after i put on the 2.5 freeflow setup. I'd had the airbox chopped for a while and I thought that was noticeable! even so I thought the exhaust was only moderately loud until I was downtown and heard something coming from about a block away.. i looked to see who the jerk was with the loud exhaust and it was MY car. (I had the wagon on loan to a friend for a few weeks) I was shocked at how much noise it made... and proud too

shanks shkip

did your gas mileage reflect anything funny recently?

here's something that may help http://www.westol.com/neper/ecucodes.html don't thank me, thank skip (that's his site) good luck. oh yeah. make sure your car's electrical grounds are good. do a search for "ground" and you'll find some good info there too.

thanks anyway, no beer for you

wow. i don't think anyone here would have passed on those. I'll give you $20 for them...

I'm looking at getting an EJ22 setup off of ebay, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33615&item=7934233022&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW from someone in Missoula. Is anyone able to do me a favor and check it out for me tomorrow or wednesday? If I get it I'll buy you a beer when i come over to get it 509-263-3853

cool! can you take a picture of the cap itself to illustrate your desctiption?

it sounds patterned like pinging, but the sound itself sounds different (possibly due to video) try driving up a hill a gear or two too high. that is a great way to artificially cause pinging.

(pull n save snips all the soft lines)

i don't know. i tried holding it steady at 2500 with the engine cold and it worked with no difficulty. i think this car is daring me to do an EJ swap

well that did absolutely nothing. tried to do emissions yesterday, and it wouldn't idle steady above 2300rpms, just dropped. it's kind of choppy to drive, throttlewise. still does it no matter where the TPS is set at. i think it has something to do with no engine compression and the turbo kicking in around 2300 or so. *kick*

awesome guys, thanks.

can I get the hookup on the procedure to adjust the EA82T throttle position sensor please? BTW I searched and didn't find anything obvious... need to hold a steady idle to try emissions and it stumbles at about 2300 RPMs..

nice... i recommend that you sticky this on every forum, it might cut down on the amount of newbies that ask about this every day..

yeah, i tried to avoid giving that impression.. here: -engine has 12k on a rebuild by rguyver, his customer overheated it and had rguyver reseal it at one point during the 12k miles. -then the ba$tard ... confusion because rguyver was the last person i mentioned.. but i meant for it to read that "the customer had rguyver reseal it for him at one point and then the customer sold it to me without mentioning this occurrence." -I have absolute confidence in rguyver's quality of work this was there all along! no worries though.

hey, I have lots of problems!

yeah, i need to come up with something. what's this about rguyver? i suspect the cause is the fact that rguyver's customer, tyrel, drove it at boost and overheated it once and didn't tell me. is there something about rguyver that i need to know here?

i have access to an air compressor but i need to come up with a fitting for the spark plug holes.

OK, I checked the timing belts. they appear to be on. the dots on the cam gears are each about 1/8" to the inside of the notches in the plastic case. This is equivalent at the most to about a half a tooth each and I would guess that it is within allowable specs? ... there are no funny noises like a slappy distributor.. I didn't check the distributor timing as I had done that a while ago, and the distributor being off doesn't affect the compression anyway... ??
