Holy crap.. Its the old red hatch. That poor thing.

+1 for the mustang scoop. They seem to be a really good fit for the EA81 hood, plus they are era appropriate and if done right can look stock. I don't know what the exact dimensions are on the EA81 hoods, but I do know that a WRX scoop is about 4-5 inches too wide for an EA82.. may fit better for you.

Your car list says 1982 E82 1.8 carburated.. Is it a 1982 trike, or are you using an EA81? Either way, pics are a must. I love a good trike.

Sounds like you got a 20 year old car.. acting like a 20 year old car

Thats the hillbilly way of doing things!

85-86 111 crank 87+ 115 crank PS.. I have blown up nearly every part of an EA82T except the heads and head gaskets.

I just use the seam between the head and the cam case to line up on. Haven't missed yet.

That looks liek the middle of nowhere. I thought the reason they put roads in the middle of nowhere was so we could do stupid stuff. Now had this been in a school zone, I would have yelled at you

Warming up my lock button. Looks like it is going to get a good workout. Yup, I'm going to be 'that mod'. PS. After I overheat the lock button, I quite often have to immediately switch to the ban button.

I was going to post here and share my opinions of the OPs ideas and the reasoning behind them. Then I read the rest of the thread. I'm taking xmas off. Don't burn the place down. After that, I will probably read this thread, laugh and ************can it.

Absolutely correct.. except for half of the suspension being completely different.

Don't think so. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but I am about positive that the FSM rates the turbo pump at 60-70 PSI and the SPFI pump is a bit less than that.

You are dealing with two completely different fuel and ignition systems. Don't count on anything plugging in and working. Noah is onto something RE: different pump triggering, but its not a difference between turbo and SPFI, its a difference between the 85-86 fuel/ignition system and the 87+ system. Time to bust out the wiring diagrams for each.

+1 Sounds like a good $500 car

Obviously my experience with EDM soobs is limited. However I have seen EGTs on a couple EDM motors, while hearing reoprts that some did not have them (never specifically looked at an XT.. the ones I have seen have been EA82s out of sedans and wagons..difference there maybe?)

Might have been an issue with the one of the turbo oil lines. I tore apart an 87 a couple years ago that got tasted when an oil line crapped and caught fire.

EGTs

I have yet to have a Subaru reliable enough to go more than about 10k/year. I use the kia for the high mileage stuff. I know it won't break. I average about 30k/year in it.

Correct.. the euro model EA82 runs on a different set of rules than USDM. IIRC, the EDM models came out at 136hp

Don't think they got any extra power. Definitely not 30.. Maybe 3-4 because of better flow, but otherwise everything is the same as the non spider motors (injectors, fuel pump, boost levels and such)

That pipe is only held on by one bolt and an O ring. If it was mine, I would take it off and clean it. *shrug*

I thought the 6 used the same injectors as the EA82..

Pull the motor

Change all four and get it over with. Air ride is a pain in the rump roast when it gets to be 20 years old, but then again, many things are a pain in the rump roast when they're 20 Just get four Junkyard strut/spring combos from the wrecking yard and slap them in there. Easy. Mine was converted from air ride to standard struts, then to XT6 parts, then to XT6/legacy mix with adjustable coilovers. About to go 100% Impreza/Legacy stuff
