hahahah I thought you'd all like that. You should have been in the car with me when I anounced that. A co-driver asked me what I had in the car (he was suprised in the power of the lil' 1600ccc). I stated that it was a 4cyl V8, and everyone in the car laughed at me and then started to question me. Had to be there. -Brian

I could be wrong. In actuallity... ive never even seen a full time 4WD Auto. So im not sure if they have locking centers or not. But ive seen plenty of 5spd's -Brian

So, with the diff lock off... its still powering both rear and front? I thought since it was an open diff... it would transfer power to whichever axle had the least amount of friction. Something i've been pondering, because if I get this GL10 TurboWagon sold, i'll probably have to drive it to deliver it. I was thinking of removing both rear CV's in order to drive it. Since it has miss-matching tires, i dont want to blow the tranny with the FT4WD. -Brian

It is alot different than any Jeep locker. The diff lock is built into the tranny. it only locks the center diff. Your front and rear diff are still open (or rear might be LSD, depending on model). You cannot remove the locking center diff and install it into a Tranny. Diff Locks only come on Full Time 4WD 5 speed Transmissions. If the car is not Full Time, than it doesn't even have a Center Diff to Lock. Hopped up Brats, Hatch's Wagons... Any 4speed or 5 speed 4WD tranny have no center diff's, they use a different type of mechanism to create the 4WD when engaged, and that mechanism act's like a locked diff at all times (when 4WD is activated). You cannot take a Single Range 5spd with diff lock and convert it to Dual Range. 1987+ Subaru RX's are the only model that came with Dual Range Full Time 4WD Transmissions with a Center Diff lock. Honestly, I wouldnt want to do any heavy off-road use with a Full Time 4WD tranny because it still has an open center diff, and if the diff lock malfunctions, your going to be set back using an open center diff. -Brian

Sweet82... dont take any offence from this post... we're just pickin on ya! All fun and games. To make you feel better, when i got my 1st car (my 1st subaru) i thought the engine was a 4cyl V8. I had no idea what a V8 really stood for, and I had no idea WHAT my car had. Now you know And knowing has 1/2 the battle. -Brian

Yeah, there's no need to ATTN me... please use the PM if you want somebody's attention. I will create the account later, im at work right now. PM me and let me know what you want your username to be. I'll set the password as the default and you can change it later. Then i'll pm you back when its ready. -Brian

Did you order it from Redline? -Brian

Well, if there was a chain it would probably need to be replaced. But there is no chain. Just gears. 2 of them, one driving the other. We could drive our cars into the ground with 500,000 miles on it, and the valve timing would be as dead on as the day it was set by the factory. God i love the EA81's! -Brian

Caleb. Here, if the tire has a cut in the sidewall, they cannot charge you for it. Also, here, rims and tires aren't effected by the 1/2 price weekend -Brian

Cant make it anytime soon. Probably wont even be able to take advantage of this months 1/2 price sale. -Brian

DO IT TO IT! Let us know if it works. It should run, theoreticly speaking. Just make sure it doesnt leak at all. Might want to pull the EA82 carb off, maybe install new gaskets, and use new gaskets when you mount it to the block. You can get a sheet of gasket paper for like $3. Take pix, and let us know if it works. -Brian

Ok, just needed to know incase i hooked it up and got like 2lb's, i would know something was wrong. -Brian

Yeah, get pix. never seen 14" 8 spoke alloys. Are they from the 505 and the 405? If not, they prolly wont fit a subaru. Also, make sure they arent Pug Hub caps Ive seen plenty of different Pug hubcaps that look like real rims. -Brian

Full Time 4WD 5spd. Thanks for the explination Adam. Should I tap the gauge into the intake manifold to be on the safe side??? -Brian

Well still, say for instance i had a problem with you Caleb. The last thing I would want you to do is going around the board telling people "Brian screwed me over". I'd want you to work it out with me off-board, unless I was so irrational it had to come to this. Of course, the rest of the board has a right to know. And if the USMB member Cole mentioned was selling this car, I wouldn't have edited it. But there was no point in advising everyone in this thread about what happend in the past with Cole and a previous board member. Cole does have a valid point tho. If your going to negotiate with somebody over the internet, its safe to put down a deposit to secure your purchase, or else he could just sell it from under you and you'd be stuck with a loan. -Brian P.S. I didn't censor anything, just edited the name used.

So in theory, since my guage is a vacuum/pressure gauge, it should reflect the vacuum until the turbo boosts and creates pressure... correct? What does a bone stock EA82T produce for boost? -Brian

I guess I shouldnt say they're not available. I have a guy who has a very sweet '78 4WD Wagon for sale for $300, needs CV and radiator... and I have a guy with a very sweet '76 4WD Wagon that needs a new EA71, $200. My 1st sube was a Gen1, i'll always have a spot in my heart for them. Would love to have a Gen1 Brat tho -Brian

Goto the Junkyard. Might be able to get the whole steering gearbox for $50. I dont know the difference between the two, but in 1985 they had EA82 Subaru's and EA81 Brats and Hatchbacks... so there might be a difference between the two. they also had power steering & manual steering. if the cars arent being driven, i would probably take the tierod and boot into the store, and compare it with what they have. -Brian

$10. -Brian

I miss-read the original post. Miles was right, your '82 is a Gen2. I thought you had a Loyale you were reffering to as being Gen2. I do favor the Gen2's... actually, i favor the Gen1's overall, but cant get them anymore. -Brian

Well i have a universal vacuum/pressure gauge that I was thinking of hooking up, just to test the pressure that the turbo is putting out. When you say it wont read vac. what exactly do you mean? -Brian

You got it. I might take some pix of it tonight. Gotta clean all the cobwebs off of it, and clean it up alittle. maybe put some oil in it and take it for a test drive as well. -Brian

My Bad! I Finally looked at the auction and noticed its ended. Wow, cant believe nobody picked that thing up. Since that's the case, you have a good chance of getting it for $1,800 cash. -Brian

Probably waiting until the last day, if they start bidding today at $2,500, tomorrow it will be up to $3000 and so forth. If they wait until the last day, chances are the winning bidder will get it for less. -Brian
