If it gets severe i'll start adjusting sensors, but right now im going to K.I.S.S I'll clean the MAF out, probably should while im installing the intercooler. Russ, the distributor cap and rotor look very new. Did you replace those when you put those wires on? If they are NGK wires then i'll trust them over pretty much anything (but have heard good things about Magnacore). -Brian

I have a screwdriver ive modified to use as a wedge with a handle pretty much. It works great for spreading the strut alittle to help removal. This was taken while installing a lift kit on my 84 Wagon, but I assume its about the same as a '88 RX. Might be easier to remove the strut from the knuckle than destroying your balljoint trying to remove it. Definatly unbolt the swaybar -Brian

I'd preffer to have it plumbed back in. I want to try to keep the car as quiet as i can.... ...ah, who are we kidding I'll have to try it out. -Brian

Find a hose that comes from your intake manifold. Cut it, put a T in it. Then run hose from that T into your dashboard. Mount the gauge somewhere and attatch the hose to the gauge. Done The gauge i got had no mounting hardware or any threaded inserts to mount it anywhere. I used a hose clamp, stuck the gauge through the board which its attatched to... then put the clamp on the gauge behind the board to hold it in place. -Brian

Good idea. Maybe i should do something like that. Let us know how it turns out. -Brian

High consoles are usually found in GL's with Power windows. They used the front end of the console to house the window switches. I put one in my wagon, and made a new plate to hold switches for my auxilary lights: -Brian

25-30mph would have no problem causing that much damage. Expecially if he hit a boulder. -Brian

From what i understand, the fuel pump wont pump unless the alt is being turned. -Brian

What should i use to clean the Maf? Its got a new rotor and disty cap, so im sure the contacts are still good. Maybe I'll upgrade my wires to 8mm when I get a new coil. -Brian

Ive noticed lately that my car has a small bit of hesitation, but only until i get above 0psi. Once its got positive boost it seems to stop alltogether and pull. Kinda sucks when I want to mosey down the road. If i want it to drive flawlessly i have to floor it (not too opposed to that). Its had its basic tuneup. -Brian

I assume, since you have to swap those parts for the 5 lug swap, that they are not the same and do not interchange. -Brian

I had another BOV off a saab 900 in my hands. It came off a newer model than the one i got. It had some wire pinouts on top with a plug on it. Wonder what all that was about? -Brian

Krazy, your installation looks great. I think i'll mimic that. I cant wait, tomorrow i will search for more tubing and pipe to use. Then get to work making mounts for the IC. -Brian

Im sure people have, im almost positive people have. Ive heard of them in Legacy's and EA82's. Ive got one sitting in the garage right now as a matter of fact, it will be going into my RX. -Brian

Glad to see you made it home unscathed Russ. Was good to meet up with you again and Im glad i did Now the RX has a new toy. I hope to have it installed before too long, then to find some of that snow i heard was in the mountains. -Brian

I could use a head bolt socket and a valve adjusting tool. I hope they're the same for EA81 & EA82's. -Brian

Awesome, thanks -Brian

So, should i disable that diaphram then? That pipe you gave me will need to be modified some, but Im sure i can use the piece with the nipple on it. I was searching volvo's and saabs for some more pipe, but didnt find anything that looked like it'd work. I might just go get some PVC and do it that way. -Brian

woohoo!! SHould i disable the BPV on the EA82T before isntalling this? Also, could anyone give me some pointers on how to install it and where is the best place? -Brian

WOOT! We're on a roll. I got my BOV Today and im ready to start plumbing everything in for the IC install. -Brian

I pulled it from a Saab 900 today in the yard. Came from the intake manifold and the nipple on the top had a hose from behind the TB, while there was a larger hose comming off the bottom to just infront of the TB. I assumed it was the Blow off Valve, so I nabbed it. Just looking for a positive ID. -Brian

This is something im interested in doing. I'd like to fit a caliper and see if the rotors will need work. -Brian

Yeah, make sure your not using it on pavement and all will be good. The reason its hard to disengage is the built up tension inside the tranny. Reverse will releave it. -Brian

Condensation in the distributor cap... or a weak coil. For some reason, rain or humidity seems to bring out the crap in weak coils. Ive had a couple coils puke, and they've all happend after a heavy rainfall. -Brian
