I don't remember the actual number but if you take one to a parts store you can match it up. I replaced all the bulbs in one recently.

Stub axle shafts do not matter in the rear diff. They are all the same. All you need to do is remove the center section from the housing. Keeping the components from the 3.90 gear together. Grind the housing like the LSD housing. You see the difference once the cover is off. Change the ring gear to the LSD and reinstall in the 3.90 case. Done!

1/4" drive deep socket. E10 as stated above.

...told ya' :-p

Just in case you don't get the connection. This is the second phase of the drivetrain conversion. Mike was in on the ground floor of my conversion. Stay off of the computer and you'll get it done.

I have owned stock and modded Subaru turbo's. They went OK, don't get me wrong. But...they are not muscle cars by any means. The gearing sucks and without mods they are just commuter cars.

Naw, not at all. I get to drive it when no one is looking.

High lift cams will to a degree affect compression. Not much mind bit they can. What effects compression is decking heads, changing pistons, even the type of rings used can effect it. What may have happened is a burnt valve. Increasing boost without increasing fuel pressure will result in a lean condition. To much pressure could also result in broken or burnt rings. I feel it still should have started with low compression in only one cylinder. Where are you going to take the parts for inspection? Make sure to tell them all the mods you have done so they can make understand the conditions and causes better.

Fact, my daugthers 1991 Civic Si, stock except for the air intake and exhaust, is much faster than my built Brat and my stock Legacy turbo wagon.

Well, the shaft does come out but it should be installed prior to bolt up. What you did was break the front pump drive gear. The trans has to come apart to fix this. If you get another trans make sure you install the shaft sleeve first. There is a clip that goes with it also. Also make sure the torque convertor is installed completely before you install the trans. You have probably the worst Subaru trans to deal with as far as installation goes. Very heavy and long which makes a bad combination. A tranny shop can replace the gear easy enough. But without the correct tools and trans tear down and reassembly experience you'll never get it back together should you attempt this. BTW, I had this happen once. I have rebuilt transmissions before and it took me two days to replace the gear and get it back in the car. Good luck.

Glad to hear you made it in safely. Come home the same and we'll see you then.BTW, I got the letter:brow:

Way too much pressure. Possibly could be a stuck thermostat. Could be signs of a failing HG as well. Check for water in places it shouldn't be, crankcase and such. Might be worthwhile to have a leak down test performed to verify the condition of the internals of the engine.

We have an excellent search function here. The EJ20 turbo motor is known as the EJ20G. But it is sometimes called the EJ20T. Here's what the search function came up with for EJ20T http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/search.php?searchid=6060 And for the EJ20G http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/search.php?searchid=6062 Generally, it picks up the words you use and gives you posts with all or part of the search words. Give it a try, it's up in the header panel above.

Some have cut the steering column back a little to accomodate the angle. The addition of the second U-joint can accomplish this but you have to be careful. You can build in too much movement and the steering will feel floppy. We added a pillow block to keep mine in line. We had to add a couple different u-joints and the angles were kind of rough. After securing the pillow block the steering feels stock. If the angles are too extreme you run the risk of tearing the rag joint, beware.

Not licensed right now. So, it is a trailer KING for now. LOL http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=562 These show the Chev on the trail. Only one of me going in though.

Well, I hit Evans Creek today. I am happy with the way the Brat is set up. It handled the very eroded terrain OK. Definately needs to be locked up in the rear. Had to right a rolled full sized Chev and get the same straightened out on the trail. The winch sure worked well. Met some very cool folks that are associated with S.N.O.R.T. They were very impressed with the new look Brat. The gearing is perfect. Can't wait to be lincolned or better. I'll post some pics later,

It is!!

Wasn't the mid 70's car based on the GSR model?

Nice job Bob. I too look forward to seeing it in person. Is it gonna be ready for this years show? If not, we'll see it sometime soon. Ken

Cool article but not totally accurate. According the Ed Parsil, he was misquoted on several instances. I believe the writer embelished and dramatized alot.

I know, just ribbing ya back

All a matter of opinion and perception. No solid for me yet. I have a sneeking suspicion that we will see somone do this before long. It still possess' a Subaru motor and tranny and the body is still intact for the most part. Besides Fujui is Fuji no matter what it's on. You be amazed how many of the stock parts on you Sube carry mitsu and other manufacturing icons on them. The bottom line is I'll get farther while abusing my rig very little.

First, by the title I can tell he thinks it might be unsafe. Secondly, it's notalways what is said but how it is said. Dan, for short distances it works but for longer distances it will be rough on the equipment and can be dangerous to you and other drivers. I once towed a Gen1 Brat with my Hatch. Flat tow with a tow bar. The weight was about the same but the Brat being longer was a scary ride. I hit a corner at about 20mph and almost didn't recover. It shoved the rear end out so fast and far that it was tough to bring it back in line. Be very careful with whatever you decide. I, personally, would flat tow anything that far. Ken

Your bike should fit OK. You may need to leave the tailgate down though.

Mick, I have to redo mine in the '85. I just put the 5sp in and the new exhaust doesn't quite match. I'll send a pic after I get it redone. Maybe today if they aren't busy.
