  1. @Milesfox My dad thinks after installing the timing belts, it is 180degrees off. He is Wondering if you would possibly know what he might've done wrong. Thanks.
  2. Oh it was overheating with the old one in there, it over heats without one in there. We just replaced it to troubleshoot the problem. The old one was fine. So I am pretty sure that isn't the problem. I know the exhaust leak can cause lose of power. That I know isn't the issue cause I had the exhaust leak before the timing belts broke on the car. It is not driving the same as it did even then. Radiator all of that not clogged. Flushed the radiator probably about 5 times now. I went through three different water pumps until it looked like the one that it was in their before. Had to order all of them off the internet. So yes I am sure. The other difference is the blades. Finally got a new timing belt today to borrow. Going to work with it today.
  3. Thanks again for the response. I can get you some pictures tomorrow of the engine. Getting dark here. I am going to try to run the engine without a thermostat to see if that works better. I could have bought a thermostat for a 93 engine rather than the 86. If that's an issue.
  4. Well I don't know a whole lot since I am the third owner and the first owner is the one that put the 86 EA82T engine in it. Yes it is a 93 with a 86 EA82T block in it. It is not a stock 93 motor. The 93 motor was taken out to put a 86 EA82T engine in it. I found a hand written wiring diagram and a list of instructions of things he did to the car. Also stating on the wiring diagram that the engine is a 1986 EA82T engine all in the glove box. Did not know this when I bought the car. Sorry that is all I know about the car. The guy I bought it from didn't say anything about a engine swap. I did not know when purchasing this car about 93's not having turbos. Ok I will check the rest of what you have said. Thanks for the response.
  5. Sorry for my limited knowledge. This is the first Subaru I have ever owned. My previous car was a Suzuki Samurai, and did a lot of work on it.
  6. Ok so we followed these instructions... If I am not mistaken. This is Milesfox that posted the first response. I did some work with this install. But my dad did the bulk of putting it on cause he use to be a mechanic. Thanks again!
  7. He didn't mention that at all. From what I understand, he just stated the timing belt might have a tooth off. The timing belt might've not been installed correctly cause we followed instructions for a 1993 engine. When in fact the engine is a 86 EA82T engine. And I stated in my first post this: "I have a 93 Subaru Loyale with an 86 EA82T engine." Both fans both work properly. No I did not mess with the ignition timing.
  8. Yeah the heater works. I have ran the heater every time I have ran the car, the entire time. Blows hot never gets cool. Going to go ahead and take down the car to the timing belt and see if we did something wrong. One problem is that when my dad and I changed out the timing belt we thought the engine was a 93. I bought the car from the second owner and the first owner was an engineer. He changed out the engine and I did not know this when buying the car and I imagine the guy I bought it from didn't either. Or did and didn't want to deal with a car that has been modified like this. So the possible problem could be that the timing belt was not put on to specs. Thanks for the response. I will repost with any changes.
  9. Hello, I have a 93 Subaru Loyale with an 86 EA82T engine. First off my mother was driving it home from the muffler shop to get an estimate on parts to fix a hole in my exhaust. On the way back the car broke down and turned out that the timing belt broke. So my father and I replaced the timing belt and since we went that far we replaced the water pump. And a few hoses that were a bit worn. Then we start it up again and when driving it, it won't accelerate and overheats quickly. So we replace the thermostat and a hose running from the thermostat. Same problem persists. So just today I went ahead and did a radiator cleaning and then drained it and put in some Blue Devil sealant with antifreeze. I did all of this following the instructions. The problem still persists. I know it's possible that the Blue Devil sealant could not of worked or the head gasket could not be the problem. I am running out of ideas and need some serious help. Hours of work trying to get this back into working order. P.S. It idles without overheating, I burped the engine to remove all air, with all the times I drained the radiator. Hope to get some replies on this issue. Thanks and have a wonderful day!
  10. Yeah I know that Subaru's are not special pertaining to their mufflers. I am just curious of exhaust suggestions. That's exactly what I am saying. I did not know this when I bought it. I bought it from the second owner.
  11. Recently found out that the original owner swapped out the motor for a 1986 motor. Found a hand written wiring diagram and probably did so for the MPFI and Turbo. Thanks.
  12. Hello, I am new to this site. I have a 93 4WD Subaru Loyale. Needs a new exhaust. Multiple holes. Anyways I am slowly working on it to be a sleeper. I want a exhaust with a turbo muffler. Just looking for suggestions, anything helps. Thanks.
