Turbone

Happened to me in my 6 in Auburn, with a MB. It was one of the big 4drs with a V8 and there were 4 peeps in the car. Yeah, I got spanked:-\ Hopefully with the engine upgrade I have coming, its not going to happen again:mad:

I can give you a 100% guarentee that if the short block of that EA81T is bad that the heads have cracks between the valves. And they are probably big ones. I was considering this mod a long time ago and decided it was to much work for little improvement. Go the EA82 SPFI if you want the FI.

Whoot! Richie is a Daddy:banana: Congrats and hope the Missus and new onw are doing fine.

The Hatch Patrol will be having a weekend campout this Summer. Probably be up at EC like before. August sounds like a good month.

You will need the buckets/surrounds for the lights. Going to need the grill also I think. Then you need to figure out the wiring. Someone the other day was talking about this, but I cant remember what thread it was.

Well, like I said ealier, 99% of what I said about my situation is true. Everything but my Brat is broken. I'll have the RX running again in a few days, but the Hatch is going to take longer. Dont have a clue when my XT6 is going to be on the road again, but this year for sure. And yes Russ, still need the parts:-p

Yeah, we still have a few around now:-p

I didnt get the inspiration till yesterday. I wanted to post it early, see how many I could draw in;)

Not going to make it. Got to go east to pick up a part to make my Hatch climb better:headbang:

Scott in B'ham is the one thats going to be really dissapointed. He really wanted my Hatch:-p Sorry Scott:burnout:

Ah c'mon, wheres the luv:-p As a charter member, I feel obligated to pull a fast one once in a while. Zap and Qman have done it in the past, and I wasnt sure if anyone else was going to step forward this year.

Yes. It was a unique mix of the truth and BS:grin:

First of all, I would like to thank all those that have offered to help. Even when they are somewhere else on the map. Its nice to know that there are still people around like that. Which makes this real hard to say, and I hope I dont offend anyone that was willing to help me out. April Fools:Flame: Got you suckers:dead: Do you really think I would practically give away my RX and Hatch? That should have been a dead give away:rolleyes: Do hope the ones that wanted to really help arent to pissed at me:-p Also, to set the record straight. 99% of my situation is correct. I got alot on my plate right now, but I'm hanging in there.

I dont think anyone would want to be responsible for a minor, that wasnt thier own.

I blew the HG in my RX.....again. But this was due to one of my mods and ignorance on its use (MBC). Manual boost controller. The turbo hit 15lbs a few times...... And when you have a divorced transfer case, the tranny is put under stresses it wasnt designed for. They wont last long, especially when they already have over 100,ooomi on them to begin with.

The green plug should be right next to the ECU or in front of the windshield wiper in the engine compartment. I think pulling the whole dash is a little drastic. Most of the elec relays and such are above the fuse panel. Pull the panel and check the relays above it.

Trust me, I really dont want to do this. But I dont think I have any other options right now. I havent worked for 2yrs now because of issues at home and cant afford it anymore:-\

Ok, I give up. I've blown my last headgasket, my last CV and my last tranny. I blew the HG in my RX.....again. But this was due to one of my mods and ignorance on its use (MBC). I'm in the process of replacing both HG's now. I blew the tranny and a rear CV cup on my last outing in the Hatch. I have the parts to do it, just no time and effort. My 89 XT6 has been sitting for almost a year now, waiting for me to replace the engine and tranny. Got the parts, but the reasons are the same as above. I cant keep up with the maintenance on 4 cars right now. So I'm selling everything but the Brat. You can have this as a package deal or seperatly. $1500 or $500ea. Heres a pic of the HG that went:mad:

Get a auto tranny:-p

Check all the fuses, the fusible links also.

Its fuse #18, second from the end on the row the spare and puller are on. Tell your friend to register over at XT6.net:-p

There are some EA81's in the Lynnwood PAP right now. But the turn around rate has increased greatly because new stuff is coming in more often. I would say about a 2 week turn around.

That is sweeet:headbang: But I must say, it takes a little getting used to, with the round lights.:-p

What are you looking for? There are some of us that make regular trips to the local yards, like me. If I dont already have it, I can try and find it for you.

Fulltime 4wd needs all 4 off the ground to tow. That darn wiper arm has a pot metal mount to the spindle. I have easily broken this trying to remove the setup before. I hate to say it, but this could also be the problem, or else the splines in the mount are stripped out. My heater was having problems on the #4 setting. It turned out to be a broken solder joint on the switch. KBD is right on with the seatbelt. As for your zero oil pressure, kind of odd that it would just suddenly crap out like that. The only thing I can think of causing all your problems is your location. Its brutal on cars and XT6's dont like extreme enviroments.
