    Ummm.. apparently overseas got a single range full-time 4wd in the RX.. that's too bad haha
  2. BoostedBoxer421
    All RXs came with full time 4wd dual range.. except the lo is only 1.19:1 compared to the regular dual range which is 1.59:1
  3. BoostedBoxer421
    Plugging away.. lol I get it Try finding a pic on google or something, can't really help without it there's like 12 plugs under the dash haha

    Also has a limited-slip rear diff(: kinda weird.. the first RXs, like my friends 84, had the selector lever with Fwd, 4wd hi (unlocked diff), and 4wd lo (locked diff)
  5. BoostedBoxer421
    Center diff lock, like a transfer case locker in a 4x4(: I have an 87 RX also, just needs an engine haha

    My gasoline EA82M will have the flat intake.. but when I build the propane version I'm going to use the high rise intake and modify its insides so that the propane doesn't condense in the large intake space(: or I may see about having a custom intake made for it Also, my friend used an NA disty from an 87 GL and doesn't even use vac advance on his propane setup.. And are you running only propane?? Or do you still have gas and some electronics running?

    Jono, I'll get details from by guru about his mixer and converter probably later tonight and get back to you, I'm going to be using the same setup on my EA82M, so I'm going to have a few pics and diagrams drawn up for it..
  8. BoostedBoxer421
    But my friend propane set up is on an EA82T (7.7:1) compression so your propane carb location might have different efffects with different compression... just a thought
  9. BoostedBoxer421
    My friend just put an Impco mixer at a 90* elbow right before the throttle body and it runs awesome with the turbo blowing through it.. even put a very loud BOV on it and makes it go a little smoother All he had to do was run a line from the propane carb to the condenser so that they had same pressure under boost.. can't remember where the lines were from though sorry.. We decided to and run the turbo coolant lines through the condenser so that the propane was warmed up enough.. And as for my EA82M build... I got everything together and put into my 87 and can't get it to fire up... I hate it right now lol But will definitely let everyone know how it all goes(: hate being left at a dead end on a thread haha Thanks everyone, Galen (BoostedBoxer421)

    I could do an EJ22 swap for less than 500$ with what I have.. but I'm in love with my EA82Ts for now.. once thayre all gone, which won't be anytime soon I'm going to build a frankenmotor to run a turbo propane setup
  11. BoostedBoxer421
    Do you really think that if I had 3-4k$ that I would dump it into an EA82M?!? I built this engine for 50$ and with 3 old EA82s... I just want to see how the stock ECU will handle it.. And yes I did compare an EJ22 to an EA82(: my stock (mostly) EA82T has beaten at least 5 EJ22s and an EJ22t on street and on my dirt tracks, and was just over 250k miles and I've seen too many EJ engines fail with less miles than that, so yes they're comparable haha I just wanted to know how the guys that have run these engines modded or changed shtuff to make it run better Once I get to propane ill have less problems, but until then I just wanted to know what the people who've made these before ran into with the stock setup Thanks for the replies! I was just waiting for someone to say "put a fortune into it and watch it explode!" Haha

    I happen to have a good friend who has taught me quite a bit on propane forced induction(: running lean on propane gives more power.. as does gas.. but with propane as you go leaner you don't run the risk of burning valves, unlike gas. Running too rich on propane burns valves Hence why I plan on building a fresh high comp. EA82T or (EA82M) to run propane at around 10psi boost My friend has a stock EJ22 with heads modified to 11.5:1 compression and fully ported running propane and distributor.. Thanks everyone! Jono, you happen to have pics of your propane set-up??
  13. BoostedBoxer421
    I plan on using a mixture gauge, exhaust temp gauge, boost gauge, and will be usinng very high octane gas(: I know it probably won't last long but if it runs dependable and correct then I'm going to go on a full build with propane 9.5:1 comp ratio and a VF11 turbo.. I just want to know if anyone has done this before and what they did to keep it running good/dependable And I know all about how turbo engines work... I just wanna build a monster for fun while I daily drive my new CCR EA82T in my loyale(: Thanks for the replies!!
  14. BoostedBoxer421
    Sounds like you have an intake leak.. because if you're sucking air while decelerating then you will run rich and backfire, also if your getting a real loud turbo whistle it could be a loss of intake pressure and would sound like a performance turbo haha Just something I've had happen, not saying that's your problem but a good place to start

    My 87 Rally Wagon - EA82T, top mount intercooler, 2.5" straight pipe, and eventually propane(:
  16. BoostedBoxer421
    Hey everyone, My 87 'Rally Wagon' had recently started showing signs of HG failure (frothy coolant & coolant loss) so I pulled the engine and found that it was just my heads that were toast... so, I've decided to keep my low compression block (7.7:1) for a spare and I'm putting the old heads onto an XT block for fun(: the XT engine-(MPFI 9.5:1 comp) What I want to know about this is if there's anything other than the obvious dangers of running boost with high compression.. if anybody has built one of these and run it dependably for any amount of time, what did you do? What should I look out for? And what's the most common failure point of these? This is my test engine, and if I like it I'm going to build a fresh block, ported heads, ported turbo, and eventually a propane set-up Thanks everyone for any input, I'm not expecting anything more than a mass amout of power and eventually a big bang over time with this one haha(: but id like to delay the bang until I get it all running right
  17. BoostedBoxer421
    RXs had 1.19 lo-range actually
  18. BoostedBoxer421
    I want to build a dependable and mostly fuel efficient ea82t but still be able to hit boost and put some power down when I want to.. I would need a completely different fuel management system to run extra injectors haha I want to eventually MegaSquirt it so I can fine tune everything. And with bigger injectors I can still manage good mileage it just provides more fuel under higher boost My next question is, will a TD04 turbo swap drop gas mileage?? Obviously when rallying, but i just mean highway and town driving Thanks everyone!
  19. BoostedBoxer421
    im currently looking into about 200 to 250cc injectors so i can put boost at 10psi.. then comes tuning for new cams or modified ignition
  20. BoostedBoxer421
    the street cams you mean?
  21. BoostedBoxer421
    nice find! i picked up my 01/87 RX in about the same condition... except with a mass amount of electrical problems but my new CCR rebuilt EA82T w/3rd gen heads might go into it eventually
  22. BoostedBoxer421
    With stock ECU I can only run street cams right? 260* I believe. I have 3 EA82Ts to work with so I might end up sending a pair of cams in to be reground Anyone have a price estimate on sending cams to Delta for regrind??
  23. BoostedBoxer421
    Hey everyone I know you can find small simple ways all over these forums for adding/releasing power from ea82 turbo engines, but what I want to do is compile all the mods for improving the efficiency/power output from mostly stock ea82t's My '87 GL (push-button 4wd 5 speed) EA82T modifications/improvements -'03 STI Top Mount Intercooler -2.5" straight piped all the way back off turbo (stock up-pipe)(stock turbo) -opened air box (noticeable improvement) Any other mods that I can do/will do, I'll update my post and tell everyone how it works out and performs And please don't say to EJ it... heard that enough already haha if I didn't want to keep my EA82T I wouldn't be posting a forum about improving it (: Thanks for any input!!
  24. BoostedBoxer421
    Torch-wrench it haha my Turbaru has needed that too much to get things apart... add some heat and see what happens
  25. BoostedBoxer421
    Thanks guys, hope this goes as easy as my 87 EA82T has been haha I've never worked on a naturally aspirated one but I've been all through my EA82T modding/rebuilding
