I don't have any LSD's at the moment, but if I did, Redline would be in it. John (Mudrat79) has Redline in all of his, and speaks highly of it. You can run their regular gear oil, and add their LSD additive, or you can buy LSD oil that already has it in. They have a huge array of different products - one of them is sure to be correct. I would call em and ask, or visit their site to see... GD

Tristan - no - the 4 speed and 5 speed are completely different internally. Jared - he's talking about an RX D/R, not a loyale one, the RX has a higher lo gear - 1.2:1 instead of 1.45:1, and requires a 3.7 diff, DRAMATICALLY reducing his crawl ratio. The 4 speed is better. But as he pointed out, he's not off-roading, so crawl is not what he's looking for. GD

The CIS in not way easier than the SPFI - you need MPFI heads, and the only way to get those for an EA81 is to use EA81T heads, which are rare, and fairly spendy if you can find them. The SPFI bolts right up, and you just need an 85 or 86 disty, and take it to a disty shop and have the proper gear put on the end. There's a couple other things that have to be done to it's caseing as well. The rest is just wireing, which if you start with a complete SPFI wireing harness. the FI portion could be stripped out fairly easily. GD

I run Redline gear oils in everything I've got - wonderful stuff. You can call em up and they will tell you what to run depending on your application. GD

The XT6 has a stronger pressure plate - that's the one you want. GD

That's why I was saying you should get mine. Likely you will *never* find your style without rips. And if you do, they will rip on you anyway. That vinyl is crap. The ones I have were actually an option for you car..... came from my 84 wagon, and are blue - just like your interior. Would love to see them go in such a nice turbo wagon.... You could always keep your old ones too. They just bolt in / out, so it's easy to swap em back and forth - only takes a few minutes. I have front and rear - all in good shape - I would even make you a deal on em since you so obviously need them GD

Are you going to off-road it? If so, you should know that the RX trans is not much good for that. It's low range is only 1.2, and coupled with a 3.7 diff, that results in a crawl ratio of 4.44, where as your 4 spd D/R has a low range ratio of 1.45 and a rear end of 3.9 resulting in a crawl ratio 5.655. (you of course need to multiply these by the ratio of first gear to get your final output ratio, but you get the idea). If you are going to rally it, then it might be alright..... You might run into spline issues - the turbo cars had 25 spline on the EA82's, so I think the RX trans does as well. The EA81 axles will not fit if that is the case. Just some info for you.... GD

The stock carb fuel pump is rated at 2 psi - Qman looked it up in the FSM. This is not enough for the Weber. The Weber runs best at 5 - 7 psi. And after 20 years, I don't think my fuel pump is even putting out 2 - I think it's lucky to be getting .5 at this point. I have a clear fuel filter, and I can see how fast it's runnning through it, and it's barely a drip. I'm going to be replaceing it with a carter fuel pump putting out 7 psi, and a pressure regulator so I can adjust it to where it needs to be. I am running no return line - doesn't seem to matter, and the carb manual said to cap it off. My gas mileage when the car was 2WD with 175's was about 30 - 32 MPG on the freeway - little less in town. With the big meats I have now, there's no telling what it is. Probably a lot less, but without an accurate odometer, I can't really tell. GD

Hey - I know you really want to buy my seats for your car don't ya? http://usmb.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7906&highlight=EA81+blue They would look good in there I think..... GD

I have heard that they get "sluggish" after a few years, and it's a good idea to replace them. The ECU can only tell you that the 02 sensor is out of voltage range, it cannot tell you that it isn't repsponding as fast as it used to to changes in the fuel mixture. Also - I like to replace them because they are a real bitch to get out sometimes, and when I get a car that is unknown to me, I replace it, and use a bunch of anti-seize on the threads. And every so often when I have the exhaust down, I like to take them out and refresh the anti-seize on them. But I'm just crazy that way...... had to remove one too many that was frozen beyond belief. GD

This is the fan speed regulator if I'm not mistaken. It's what is responsible for the different speeds for your blower motor. They are very often burnt out like yours. GD

No reason to remove it - and we are talking about completely different systems than you are. Feedback carburetors - not SPFI. I took it loose because it was so bad that it caused my car not to run. I did replace it, and noticed no real improvement, other than my ECU light didn't come on. GD

As for me, I never noticed any difference with or without my O2 on my feedback EA81. Was always about the same 26 - 27 MPG. The ECU did get pissed off after about 10 to 20 min of driving, and turn the light on, but other than that, no real difference that I could see. Now I'm running a weber, with no 02 or ECU. GD

Yeah - that was my thought on the manifold - doesn't look like a justy cause it's got 4 flanges - looks like an inline 4 cylinder - no subaru I know of came with one of those.... GD

You cracked the Y pipe? Like at the flange? Or did you crack the head or the spacer that attaches to the head? GD

Actually - I think Rob said it's still around somewhere. HE doesn't have it anymore. The spousal unit had a little accident with it or something I think.... GD

As far as driving speeds the justy and the XT may share the fact that you can go any speed in 4WD, but the Justy is COMPLETELY different mechanically. For one thing the Justy is a transverse mouned 3 cylinder, with a PTO going to the rear on 4WD models. The tranny in the the Justy is a way different beast (and unique among subarus). GD

May it rest in peices...... GD

That's the tricky part. No and No. http://usmb.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2576&highlight=axle+removal GD

Huh - for some reason I was thinking they were lo range only. Too bad - guess I'll have to swap in a D/R when I get my Gen 1. GD

Ah - yes I meant it's great of an off road RIG, with big tires. Cause you can still drive on the freeway.... or you install a 5 speed. Either way. GD

Actually - 3rd and 4th are different. And yes - the 82 4 speed's have the shorter gearing. It's great for off-road when you lift and put on big tires. GD

Actually Boz - in the scenario he's describing, the engine and tranny actually DO go up with the body. That's why the nissan transfer case - allows you to use drivelines to the front and rear. Basically turns the whole rig into a regular 4x4 truck arrangment underneath. I still think it's a body lift - with a change in the drive train that makes the drivetrain taller. But the diffs are still at the same location relative to the wheels - so it's still a body lift. GD

No - he's talking about single range 4WD - lever actuated. Not pushbutton. Those are low gear only right? If so the manual says don't exceed 40 MPH in low range. If it's high only - then as fast as you can go really - I've done 90 or more. GD

That's an interesting decal config that I haven't seen before - I like it. And yes - I have seen several GL decals that haven't turned yellow. Got one on my Brat - and I've got an extra from the JY - just happened upon it one day.... GD
