    I am on my 6th Subaru. Newest is 88 gl10 Turbo Wagon. I've also loved my previous Justy, GL, WRX Wagon, LGT2.5L, and STi.

  1. Solved!! The previous part number is NO Longer valid.14585 now has larger chassis (+1/8"). Had to order alt again. And yes my 88 gl10 awd has inboard alternator and outboard (far right) ac compressor bracket.
  2. Yo Fellow Subaru Lovers! Had to get a new alternator from Autozone. Ordered the Identical part number as removed from the 88 GL-10 Turbo. The New unit appears to be larger and will not tighten to produce tension. Just to the right of the Lower mounting bolt it seems to be rubbing the Ac Compressor Mount. Anyone else had this issue when attempting to reinstall a OEM Replacement Alternator. I am using the same belt and also have swapped to the old pulley to see if that was the issue. Starting to think maybe the Chassis of the alternator was redesigned..... maybe its wider.... Old Unit was returned for the 11.00 core. If there is anything I am missing or you need hit me up.

  3. Really Though, I did want to learn to pull this engine, and do the gaskets, and learn the timing. Just not before moving to WA. My nephew, was trained to do this on I-6 Twin Turbo Diesel, so it was a walk in the park with Uncle for him. The bugs made him freak out a little but now we know. Gave him a pipe and a lead on fixing his Honda, now gonna teach him to drive manual. Thanks to USMB and the Old Gen guys for their help, We didn't feel alone.
  4. Like many of you when there is a problem with the car one might miss sleep. Awoke this morning thinking about plumbing on the intercooler. Put Vac lines the way i thought they were before, then checked the IC piping. During the install I guess the hose connection was loose. It Seems to be all good. Here is a pic of my nephew smiling when it was pulled on Saturday. We had no Pabst Blue Ribbon, So Used a Coke Can to Catch the Steering oil. And thanks for your help.
  5. Off without a hitch. gaskets including Intake were changed. About 2.5 hours till the EA82 was ready to go back in. Has a few bugs. Not Boosting. Its got to be a vacuum line issue. Blitz Dual SBC. Anyone have this controller or maybe can help me try to get boosting again? Yes had to remove Cams to get to head bolts. Yes Intake gasket was shot. Wish I knew that before pulling it out!! But now I got what I wanted Timing Belt procedure and HG procedure, Just didnt want to do them before moving.
  6. Gasket ordered, Victor Heinz 32.00 (wish me luck) hoist rental set up 30.00 work site secured. Tools I don't have, have been borrowed. Nephews are helping They are in their mid 20s. Subaru down 29 hours so far. Gasket has 48 hr lead time. Need to tow 20 miles to working area in San Diego.
  7. I wonder... Is there a place to get the Correct Head Gasket and only the HG really fast? The Engine has 6500mi since rebuild all other gaskets are fine, new, all seals are New. I don't want to grab the off the shelf Pep Boys, Autozoner, HG, cause I hear its crapolah. Any Advice? I do not mind tearing down the motor in another 5k miles. Eventually this engine will be in a sedan and the Wagon will get a 2.2.
  8. This is my second GL last was Carb. Also My Sixth Subaru, 42nd Car. This is the one I do not want to part with. Sure I was sad when I sold My MY04 STi, but now I'm over 40, I've already been to the STi magic spot. Should be pulling engine in the next few days. My neck is broken so I can not do much, even typing correctly is an issue.
  9. motor is stock. its a GL10_turbo. only engine mods are Intercooler. Adding a Turbo on a NA EA82 would be a cause for alarm; Naturally Aspirated EA 82 has much higher compression. The Turbo EA82 (EA82T) has reduced compression to compensate for boost. (This is very common for many NA VS forced induction.)
  10. tons of water in cylinder. Ran out of light so will pull the remaining plugs in the AM. So.. what if it still wont crank? I'm Screwed, My Lady is pissed! ...."My Honda costs less and never brakes down" Oh forces of Pleiades shine some light my way, cause if the wagon was running we would crawl over the civic!
  11. the steam is probably from the head gasket. There appears water in the oil. (not frothy just looks thin) it will not turn over, Timing most likely Screwed,. Hoping to find someone in my area who does EA and EJ in their Sleep.
  12. Exhaust manifold had been leaking since I got it, Got New studs and Gasket in this morning. "My Subaru finally sounded Subaru!!" Sounded Great finally compression to the tailpipe. I didn't even turn on my car audio (Duh Boxer Growl) I didn't hit full boost, and was under 30 MPH when I felt a hesitation.... Noticed Steam, AND then a Cloud of steam from the tailpipe. Was in the Left turn lane so I pulled it over. All My coolant was leaking... Added coolant, Then Crunch!!! when I turned ignition. On the ground my coolant continued to flow. I will not turn the ignition as something is WRONG. Will have towed home later today. Need to move 1500 miles in 10 Days and Drive this car there! Holy Crap! So I hope there is a Subaru Guru that knows maybe what could be going on or lead me in the right direction for repair ASAP I love my Subaru even though Its Cost me way too much.
  13. Right! The Older Subarus are dropping off the planet. Or maybe the word is out. A few years back, maybe a decade they were a dime a dozen in Southern California ( Ok $500.00 and Rust Free) but now they are getting harder to find, I love the GL and had a hard time to find our newest. Preppng the car now for the travel up the 5 to Wa, I hear there's quite a bit up there. I had to travel a mere 135 Miles. Brokenneckj
