Because the EA82T uses MPFI and has two inlet ports on each head you cannot put the EA82T manifold on you EA82. You would hook it to your carb, but there is a fair bit of modding, and you will most likely have to rejet your carb... Best bet is to sell the stuff, and then if you want more power put a Weber on it, or a EJ. Spending money on putting a EA82T in a EA82 or EA81 isn't really worth it.

If you want to rally cross, I say you want a turbo. I'd go with what GD said, if they are cheap enough. If you go with what SubaruJunkie is on about you should look for something like this http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=62343. That seems like a good deal, and if you do pick one up for under $1K you then have $500 to play with.

I have a 90' Liberty/Legacy. It's roof lining is falling down around the edges. Just wondering if anyone has a good miracle fix for this? It's just cloth lining, so I thought glue might soke through it and look weird? Any ideas? Cheers guys.

Doesn't look like it has any reinforcing on the rear... Looks like it would flex too much.. Personally, I'm not keen on the 85 to 89s... I like MY's, and old gen brats! hehe.

This makes me think... Maybe I should get a clip taking off in the dual carb EA81... Just for a bit of a show off...

... a 11,000 meter tall snorkle ... :-\

What does that go to? Weaponry? :-\ So Outbacks are generally more expencive. Can anyone tell me that a Outback is more capable offroad, or easier to mod?

If that's how you want to earn your post count.... :-\ I would say 25.5" with minimal, if any, bashing/cutting. If your serious about your offroading I would fit the 27" (26.6" in actual) Kumho's or similar. With a good offset rim they will go on with not so much work, but if the rim sticks out the body it will rub on the guard wall more.

I tell ya what, tomorrow morning I will go do the messurements for you, and post back here.. Remember I'm in Aus, so there is like 12 hours of time difference. I'll post back tomorrow.

Messed up stuff goes on in this world. It's amazing how lucky us Aussies, and other countrys like Australia, are and we don't even seem to relise it on a day to day basis. I do remember seeing a bunch of pics (might of been your club) with at least 4 Foresters. But they all looked stock. I guess they just aren't as popular as a Outback for offroading. On a side note, whats the price difference of an Outback to Forester around the world? Here in Aus the bottom of the line is like this from new, $32K for a Forester, $38K for a Outback.

If I remember correctly, in israel you can't put a engine with more capacity then the original in a car. This would be why it's a EA82t now?

The other video I done is on my site now, same page. Check it out. I had a thread here about it, but it's gone now Something about it not being "Subaru Offroad" Maybe I need to get a Subaru badge and put it on that other vehical.

Offset is a messurement made from the very center of the wheel to the actually plate that bolts to your hub.. So basiclly just messure the width of your rim, find the exact center, then messure to the bit that fits to the hub... and wha lah, you have your desired messurement. I am pretty sure possitive offset means the plate that bolts to the hub is closer to the outside of the car, and negative offset ("deep dish") means that it is closer to the middle of the car. Although, I could be wrong.

I had a problem with my Thrust bearing/"Throwout bearing" on my clutch too. It was too small for my pressure plate. By the look of it the replacement clutch that was put on was made for a EA82 thrust bearing (which are bigger) but it still have the EA81 bearing on it. So after a while it wore oddly and coused the thrust bearing to push on a weird angle. The only way around this I found was to get a different bearing (not even for a subaru) that had the same size inner as the EA81's but larger outter size. I pressed this onto the EA81 thrust bearing holder, and it's been working great for over 9 months now. But I am pretty sure that the poster of this thread just has a worn clutch. A replacement clutch kit will most likely fix the problem.

Quote: scoobyclimbs > all the pics. That looks like heaven to me..... But I think driving the 8000(?)miles through all that water wouldn't go well with my subie. lol

I noticed some of the front grill was made with what looked like wood, or a fiber-board. Not perfect, but still a great attempt.

Really it just depends on how the car has been driven to how much gear everything in it has. Clutches can last ages, or they can wear out very quick. If the last owner (or you) liked to make fast starts, do burnouts, or didn't know how the use a clutch, it could wear out pretty quick. If you start off in first and put your foot down till it gets to 6000RPM, does it slip? This is normally when the clutch is under the most pressure to perform, and more likelly to slip. I normally adjust my cable so there is a bit of slop at the top of the peddle (as in you can push it half an inch without the lever on the bellhousing moving. That should put the engauging area around the middle.

I must say, I don't really like the look of it. But that said. It is a mighty fine piece of art. Did you do this, someone you know? Or just off the net? Congratz to who ever did do it. I would like to do stuff like that for real, then I could make this real. Oh and I would need money too...

kingbobdole is right, changing from EA82 to EA82t isn't really worth it. Putting in a EJ is. Although if you have a EA82t, or a free one in sight, have a look at the links in my post in this link http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?p=488686#post488686.

So shinny....

You sure do! Which ones? I have a 90 Lib with low range, but I throught it was pretty uncommen..

So you want 14" offroad tyres? Or 13"? you can get the Kumho M/T 27x8.5R14's (205/75R14, as some know them.) And BFG do a good A/T in 14". Toyo do a 225/70R14 in A/T and a 185/75R14 in a "Winter Tread" pattern. I've heard Toyo do a 13" Winter tread too.

Oh yeah... that rings a bell. Too much hassle I reckon.

140 seem rather large... My brothers weber on his X1/9 has something like 70prim, 120sec. That is on a 1300cc, but it does rev to 7K all the time. Maybe your carb is running a little rich?

This is what the post above really said, silly forum. Thanks guys. It is nice down that way (location disclosed.) There was a better climb the white wagon tried, then the red brat made it up it... But the camera got a flat battery just before then I surfed once. Not really my thing, although I wouldn't mind giving it a go when the air temp gets back up above 8degreesC. That's my bro's board, it's a ?Mini Mau? 7ft 3" long. It's a great begginers board his been told. Its sits like a pontoon on the water... I so need to get a bigger battery for my DV... You should see my next video, hehe.. I'll upload it to google and put it on site this weekend. It takes google 2 or 3 days before I can view the videos I upload. Cheers guys, and enjoy.
