  1. yes i have taken two years of automotive tech and my teacher for mostof it was a subaru tech for like 15 years so i do know a little about checking the coil.
  2. I had the swiched 12v power for all my gauges tied to the positive side of the coil. the power wire shorted out and blew the fuse i unhooked the wire for my gauges and replaced the fuse i then had power at the coil but i wasn't getting a refrance pulse from the ditsy so i assumed that it fried the ditsy as well so i swaped one in i knew was good and still no pulse. please help Thanks Stan
  3. the guy i got my spider from had bypassed the collant lines with no ill effects and i have it bypassed on my car as well
  4. yes it can be done, but it would be alot easier and probbly cheaper to find a soob with a turbo engine already in it. they are easy enough to idenfy they say turbo on the sides the back and if you open the hood it says it there too
  5. i hind it easier to take the entire intake manifold off and lay it back onto the spare tire area. and take the the a/c and alternator bracket off and lay it in the battery holder. i usally just disconnect the two line for the p/s and leave the pump on
  6. i have had good luck with the yellow ones from wal-mart they are around $60 and have 3 year free replacement warrenty
  7. your old turbo is still working good isn't it. and do you need more than 15lbs of boost. i'm just trying to see the advantage. the advantages i knew of was it was easier and cheaper to find. and the abiltiy for more boost. i'm not trying to dog the swap just looking for info. and a givin a bump stan
  8. all cars need to be ran hard once in a while
  9. and when the white stuff is on the ground you are passing EVERYBODY!!!!
  10. if you did it long enough yes. i know of quite a few diffs from trucks that people got stuck and sat in the mud pit with one tire spinning and toasted the diff
  11. took the orignal engine in my 84 350,000. it was using alot of oil but ran strong i ran it out of oil and took out a main though when i pulled the heads off there was hardly no wear on the cylinder walls. you could still see a cross hatch pattern on the walls

  13. i can't say for sure. but i would think it would just work the spider gears in the center diff hard. at the same timeyou know it ca't be good for it even if it doesn't screw it up the first time. it will shorten its life span
  14. there are some on the rockymountian roo site http://www.rockymountainroos.net/pics/sub05/sub05.html
  15. this does sound likely you might get a pry bar and carefully pry striaght up on it. if you do mess the manifold up getting it off, i have a bunch and could send you one for the cost of shipping oh just noticed your in canada so shipping would problly be more than a junk yard would want for one
  16. i will asume the ac/alternater bracket has been removed sence it bolts to the manifold
  17. in wyoming they impond the car and take you to jail.
  18. sweet that means you can haul off the wrecked shell from my place
