Welcome to the board! There are a few member in AK. Perhaps some near to you. Thats always helpful when on the hunt for parts.

Bad Brian.. Its only been 3 hours since you posted the problem.. Just busting your balls.

The first things I would check are the regular tune up items. Plugs, cap, rotor, and most importantly, fuel fiter(or is it filters?). Does your car have an ECU? if so, any error codes?

http://www.subspeed.com/LoyStrutBar.htm Not more than $40? Scooby. I would be concerned about the strength of a bent/molded piece of metal .. In my experience, strut bars have always been.. well.. straight. Not to say it won't work. Hope it does. Let me know how it comes out.

On the board is a great place to find used parts.. For example.. I have a blower motor resistor pack I would be happy to sell you. $10 plus shipping and its all yours.

I have gotten 2 soobs really cheap because of that switch.. was told by both owners that it had 'wiring problems'

It needs to be on the tranny when it is installed. not the engine. you will be unable to seat it properly if it is attached to the engine. After you slid it onto the shaft, keep turning until you hear it click into place twice There is a very good chance that the splines on the tranny are toasted

Sure hope it was worth it..

I'm on my 4th in less than 2 years.. Always looking for more..

One problem you may run into is that the 85-86 MAF has a sqare/rectanfular opening. the 87+ Hotwire has a slightly larger round hole. Whatever adfapter you use must take that into account. I have seen adapters at autozone that will bolt on to our MAFs, but I don't know how well they will seal againct the square/rectangular Vane style.

Hmmm.. legacy GT-Limited for my wife.. and of course the Saabaru 92x for me.. plus that nice Audi in the garage just because:D

I second the use of fuel line.. 2 years and still works great.. looks a lot better than some of the factory hoses I have pulled off of there.. hell of a lot cheaper and easier to find than OEM too

D'OH. As Skip pointed out, somthing may be sticking.. I have a tendancy to overlook the obvious on occasion. Skip, someday grasshopper, you will be a master like me. But first you must learn to overlook the obvious. Only then will true mastery be achieved. One final note.. Go ahead and mess with texas.. I am from Washington.. Here out of necessity.. I am hoping that when California falls into the ocean, mother nature will see fit to find a way to take Texas with it..

Off Topic.....?

First off, Turbo gas mileage sucks. I average about 20-22mpg in mine.. most of the reason being that people with turbos tend to use them.. every time that turbo spools up, your gas gauge goes down... Second. Grounding. I have run into a few weird problems with grounding on my turbowagons. everything from odd operational problems to funky digidash readings. My solution has been to run 3-4 extra grounds from the battery to the engine and body. You can never have too many grounds. Third, funky cold Idle. I would start with the most likely culprits, which in my mind would be the coolant temp sensor, located on the passenger side to the rear of the TB, and even a more likely culprit, a malfunctioning aux air valve. I would give more specific info about it, but, even thoug I know what I am talking about, it always comes out wrong. I'm sure SuperSkip will chime in shortly to expound upon or disprove my theories.

Not necessarily. My manual is a 3.7 Depends on which manual you use. manuals from turbo cars are 3.7. manuals from N/A cars are 3.9 The 5 speed swap isn't too hard.. hardest part is the pedal box.. just make sure you have all the parts when you start.. It sucks having to make a bunch of trips to the yard to find little stuff.

Loyalist. Take another look at that link. It covers 83 and up trouble codes. Your connectors are under the hood, in the area of the drivers side hood hinge. Did you spray the brake/carb cleaner around the mating surfaces of the intake manifold?

Mine started life as an 87 GL-10 4WD Turbo Auto. Now it is an 85,86,87,88,90 GL-10 4WD Turbo 5 Speed All of the parts are from GL-10's except the few small things from a 90 loyale. And of course the Pug wheels Approximately 160K

At that high of boost, if you advance your timing you will probably experience pinging, same goes for running 89 octane. depending on how things turn out, you may even end up having to retard your timing a little to avoid detonation. probably not, but it is possible

the only real difference in the chassis is the wiring. 85-86 the same. boost cut can be bypassed via vacuum line.(vane MAF), 87-90 is a little more updated in the seats and dash and doorpanels and such. also has the hotwire MAF, with the elctronic fuel cutoff. and they have 4 more HP than the 85-86.. oh yeah.. different fron marker lights too.

The repair manual is made up of articles written by individual users, such as yourself. Perhaps you should invest in an actual manual for your car. Then after following the instructions in the manual, you could write up a comprehensive reprt on the easiest way to R&R an EA82 clutch. You could then submit it to the USRM and thus help it earn its name as The Ultimate Subaru Repair Manual. You might also notice that about 80% of the stuff in the USRM is stuff that isn't available in the Haynes, CHilton, Climber or FSM. The USRM is intended to be a supplement to having proper manuals for your car. Not a replacement. There was a link a while back to scanned PDFs for an 89 FSM.. if it has all the right sections in there, all of your clutch questions will be answered. You just have to find it.

The stuff from RAM performance is geared toward aviation I believe.. I wouldn't count on their custom intake being suited for automotive use. If you want some more oomph without getting all crazy, spent the $350 or so and get the nice new weber from redline. then pop some EA71 pistons in there.. you will get quite a bit more oomph that way

Ken, I think he has an LSi, not a turbo... Ken's right that the LE Touring wagon and Ports Sedan had almost everything, but thats a different beast than an LSi, the did have everything.. except a turbo. EDIT: I just checked, and Kelley Blue Book lists 1993 as the first year for the LSi wagon . It also says that its worth about $1000 more than an LS of the same year... However it does list a 1992 LSi Sedan....

Thats funny, Neither of my 4wd EA82 wagons have had front mudflaps..my 2wd ones did though.. just didn't have rear mudflaps.

Brian.. its an Ej motor and an EA tranny.. just a justy body.. I'm sure that the OZ boys are familiar with the EA and EJ stuff. Perhaps kennedy engineering could hook you up with something.. the do the adapter plates for VWs
