  1. Perfect, so how come everyone resorts to subaru legacy coilovers when miata ones can be found for way cheaper

  3. Saw that miata struts work on the Subaru gl. Will rear coilovers work?
  4. As some of you know I been blowing up this forum with countless help threads. Thanks everyone who helped especially "jonno" I traded the car for a flat screen tv I won in a raffle and $250. When I went to go look at the car it was sitting in a field. The turbo was off, along with all the vacuum lines. The only way I could figure this all out was wait for a rx to show up in a pick n pull and take pictures. Finally one showed uo in chico,ca. Got all my vacuum hoses correct and snagged a few parts. After getting everything hooked up and having no information on this motor besides having the previous owner tell me the head gaskets were changed and "good luck" everytime I would drive the car it would fall straight on its rump roast. Rev to about 2500 and then drop rpms. I figured id try seafoaming the car. This is when my engine bay started smoking. I had an exhaust leak! Ordered some exhaust manifold gaskets and bang! The car was 10x quiter and would actually drive! Boost leak was my issue. Now I just need to figure out why my cel will sometimes come on until I hit the throttle a little. Im thinking knock sensor?
  5. Would running a single wire non heated 02 sensor (universal) work on my 3 plug ea82? I understand I have to splice but will I get a code?
  6. Also no vacuum leaks and recently changed intake manifold gaskets Could the culprit be knock sensor or 02?
  7. I desperately need help. If I hold my car at a steady idle of about 2500 it will drop down about 100rpm then go back to 2500. Just changed spark plugs and gapped to 1.1mm also put a new dist cap. The idle is also very low. When I drive once it gets past the 2500 mark its a sudden burst of power. Car is mpfi ea82t
  8. Car is a 5 speed transmission with a button for 4wd. Is there only one dipstick? Also what weight fluid? Capacity? Etc
  9. so how do I go about multimetering this thing out?
  10. Ill sell you mine for $800 located in sacramento. Same car, but 88 5 speed 4wd, still turbo
  11. Yea how would I hook it back up? The straight part to turbo? Bottom to waste gate? Back of the solenoid to the vacuum on manifold
  12. I have the wastegate connected to the turbo it self as I saw on a rx when I went to pick n pull, is this not correct? Or should I connect the waste gate duty supply? And if I do connect it will this help?
