Turbone

There are no pics in the first post, but after that I see the rest.

I basically use Castrol in all my stuff, oil wise. I dont skimp on the other fluids either. But it all comes down to personal choice and $. Theres a few items that should have no compromise tho. Plugs - NGK OEM thermostats and PCV. DO NOT use Fram for anything. WIX, Purolater or Napa for oil filters. Do not run on dry pavement in 4wd. You can shift on the fly in conditions that require 4wd.

Yes, you can swap rear disc brakes from a EA82. Most came on the turbo models and some were on GL-10 models. No proportioning valve needed. Get the rotor, backing plate, caliper and rubber/hard lines and you will be good to go.

I have a 3.9 rear diff. You can thank me later

I see them.

Yup, your right. I went back and checked the manuals. The chart I looked at was for all EA82's except for the XT with AT. Of course it would be the oddball The MT's are 23 spline. And that info is only available in the XT FSM.

Probably not going to get alot of technical info here. But a search on nasioc got me this. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/search.php?searchid=2386295 Have to read thru some of the stuff to get to the info you need.

I would either do the crush mode like Presslab was talking about or get a higher psi fuel pump to go along with the injectors and regulator.

I approve

In the first link, he was using a RRFPR and chemicals(s) to clean the injectors. So those are the duty cycle rates of the EA82T inj. But why is there 2 readings for 100%? What are the duty cycle rates of the Z injectors? They have to be more than the EA ones.

The EA82T injector flow rate is around 180cc. The 280ZXT is around 265cc. Not significant, but substantial. Need to get a higher FP rate going as stock is only 37psi. I have heard of the crush mod on recirc valves, but never on FPR's. I certainly wouldnt want to try that without the pressure gauge.

Wow, Mick. So its quality now and not quantity? :-p

Come south!

Hah, you forgot the link :-p I missed the 2nd page

I may be heading up north to deliver some parts real soon. Making a trip a little further south of me isnt a problem. I'll give you a heads up when I'm going.

No pics in that thread :-\

If your going to make it 4wd, I suggest getting a donor car. Your going to need alot of parts of it. But converting it to a manual 5spd isnt that hard. Just make sure you get the tranny crossmember, speedo/clutch cable, pedal box and center console.

Are you serious? 491,000mi? On a 96 Legacy? If the tranny lasted that long, I would get a used one out of a wrecking yard (lower miles preferably) and drive it for a while longer. Is the engine getting tired or the body rusting out? Are there other reasons to junk it?

Are you kidding? I can swap out a rear diff in 1/2hr (if I dont drop it on my face:rolleyes:) A tranny swap will take a couple hours, at the most.

Like a F-4 Phantom kicking on the afterburners :-p TD04 with WRX IC, Spider intake and 2.5in exhaust. I think if I gutted the DP, I might get even better flow.

That will probably cause problems. I know with the old school stuff, if you have a 3.7 trans and use a 3.9 rear diff (and vice verse) it creates all kinds of binding.

I've seen some EA81's run on as little as 1/2qrt of oil with no ill effects. You might have knocked a vac line loose if its stalling at idle.

Depends on where your from. But trying to lift one and put big tires on it is going to kill the fun factor. It will be absolutely gutless
