Thanks miles. Just what i needed to know I was thinking of adding a cooler to keep the fluid temps low, but the AT wont be in the car much longer -Brian

Im sorry i said anything at all. There is no need to worry about anything. Please let this be a warning, if you use the USMB.net gallery. Utilize the message boards built in Gallery here http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos and backup anything you have on the old gallery. -Brian

The only thing in Jepordy is the domain name http://www.ultimatesubaru.org The servers, board, and all the information contained are paid for by Shawn, and will still be around. This could happen anywhere from 3 months from now, or 2 years from now. I forgot when the domain name expires. -Brian

its okay to be a noob. Im an AT Noob, and i wanted to hear from other's and their experiences with different types of fluid. -Brian

USMB.net will be expiring soon. So will ultimatesubaru.org, and the webhosts I used (yes, I.. me, with my own money thank you) will not be around for me to renew their license. I will get in touch with Shawn to make sure the Message board is saved, but the Gallery and everything on USMB.net will eventually be lost. I warned the USMB about 3 months ago to backup their images because I was going to be shutting down the old gallery. The albums I deleted the other night were old albums that have not been updated in over a year. I will be deleting more and more as i find the time (have to do it all manually). It just so happens i have a backup of the gallery from a while ago. I can try to find your pictures and send them to you, but I cannot promise it in a timely manner. They are in a folder, among thousands of other folders and one of over 9GB of images that were stored on the server. -Brian

Yeah, and if I use the pushrods from the non-hydro engine, i dont see how the pushrods will know. I cant wait to get started. Im waiting for the owner of the 84 to get it smogged. If it fails, I'll be at ground zero. Im crossing my fingers. -Brian

Jeff, no worries mate That info is exactly what i was looking for. If I put a non-hydro block with hydro heads... what can I expect to go wrong? -Brian

Ken, what is a surefire way of knowing wether or not my EA81 Carbbed from my '84 is Hydro or not? -Brian

Thanks for the 6.3 quarts Now i know how much to buy. Isnt there like different types of AT fluid? And whats this gov you speak of, whats it do? -Brian

She cant see the marketplace until she has 10 posts. But thats where I would suggest as well. Or maybe look into Craigslist.org Check Craigslist for your local city and you should reach more locals. -Brian

One other thing... Im going to need to use the EA81T Distributor, right? Just sorting out little details. -Brian

Im planning on picking up a EA81T Wagon soon, and its got an auto. On the test drive, it shifted pretty hard, but it was solid and not sluggish at all. When i tried to accelerate with the Tranny in 1st, it felt like the transmission was slipping. If I do purchase this car, I'd like to change all the fluids... expecially the AT fluid. Can anyone recommend some good stuff for AT Trannies??? This is going to be the 2nd Auto ive ever owned, and the 1st auto i had for only 3 weeks. -Brian

Im jealous now! Great pix Jared. -Brian

John, thanks! I will definatly be needing some assistance. Im not sure if the Turbo is Oil/Water or just Oil. I think i'll use this EA81T wagon for transportation until my RX is all fixed up, then I will go to town on the EA81T and convert it. Im glad to hear the comp is all in the pistons. The Carb block is a '84 so it will be hydro as well, no problems there. -Brian

I went and test drove the donar car today. Its a '84 Turbo Wagon, with EA81T and auto. The engine sounded and felt real solid. Car ran great, so i think i'll get it and work on it before the heads crack. I noticed there's alot of stuff in the engine compartment, not sure what most of it does but hope i can streamline it alittle -Brian

I probably have more than 877 pix of my subaru's alone. You will find about 9GB of pictures at the old USMB gallery. http://www.usmb.net/gallery/ There are hundreds upon hundreds of pictures of subaru's. new to old, onroad & offroad. here is my photo Album: http://usmb.net/gallery/junkie You will find pictures of pretty much each subaru i've owned. The RX gallery has the newest pictures. Here are some of my favorites: -Brian

This was an idea me and Jeremy had a couple years ago (check the timestamp on the main page). The name is not set in stone, and i was thinking of changing it to something else, just dont know what. Anyone have any ideas? -Brian

WOOT! Im glad to see those ventures back in production. I wanted to get them when i was shopping for the wagon, but had to get the coopers cause the Kumho's were backordered like crazy. 27x8.50... i like the sound of that. I know what im getting for my next wagon. -Brian

Those ujoints look ALOT stronger than our CV's. -Brian

Where is the knock control unit mounted? -Brian

Really? I was still thinking of having the heads shaved alittle to help. And maybe get a cam for it as well. -Brian

Cool. Wonder what a Carbed block and Turbo heads would make for CR? Anyone know of a way to calculate the compression? -Brian

Does anyone have the stock CR on a EA81T? I was thinking of trying to get it up to 10:1 to run w/out the turbo. Also, is there any shadetree way of calculating the CR on an engine, maybe with a compression tester? -Brian

Were you able to find a set of Kumho's in 14" rimsize? I couldnt when I bought my coopers. My coopers are now worn and I was looking for a replacement set, and was sad to find the 205/75R14 STT's discontinued Im still going to call around to local cooper dealers and find out if anyone has a set collecting dust. Thats how I found my original set of STT's and the tire shop was happy to give me a deal just to get them out of his storage. -Brian

Put tires on them and they'll look 100x better. Dont worry about the offset, those are the same 15" rims alot of us are running, nobody has run into any problems. -Brian
