Turbone

Eh, why? You got some funky air horns or something?

I make it up ther only a couple times a year, so what are the odds of me running into him? He was in the parking lot when I rolled in about 3 weeks ago:rolleyes: He even helped me look for parts and carried a few out for me:D

I think Skankin Pickle lives at the Lynnwood PAP.

This might be a little tough, theres not much room. After the car reaches op temp, reach down and feel the bottom of the rad. If its cold the rad is plugged. Theres a possibility the sensor in the rad is also bad.

Looks like a tree at about 40-45mph.

Sounds like you need to clear the old codes first like Gary said. Its normal for the fuel pump to cycle when the green conn is hooked up also. If you havent changed the fuel filter, located in the engine compartment, drivers side behind the strut tower.

It is sometimes recommended that the head bolts be re-torqued. It depends on the brand of head gaskets used and the tecnique used in the original torqueing, as Torxxx mentioned. I torqued mine to 50lbs.

What Gary said. You might consider changing the thermostat also.

When ordering parts for yours, never go past 84. The systems get confused and will give you items for the EA82 engines. All (most) EA81 applications are the same from 81 to 84 (and some 80). Your much better off in a Hatch if your going to offroad at all. And personaly, I wouldnt buy squat from Schmucks. If they cant get it right in person at the store, I sure as heck wouldnt buy on-line.

I might be able to Zap. I need to check to see if I have the right software tho. SJ, I still have the clips, I might DL them and send them to you to post (I'm out of room on my Site). Once you get the problem fixed:-p

What kind of gasket are you using? It should have a metal ring on it to prevent blow outs. Also, you state there is a helicoil in the head, is this tight enough for you to get a good seal?

The green connector is the Read Memory mode. The black connector is the Dealer Check mode. Use the Memory mode first to check the codes. In order to use the Dealer Check Mode you have to go thru a complex sequence . First try the Read Mem mode and get the codes and go from there. If you still have problems, I can scan the sequence for you. The same goes for clearing the codes, but there is a simpler way to do it. Just unplug the battery overnight.

The ECU is under the rear dash cover on the right side, next to the speaker. I would also change the TS with a OEM one. Its cheap and just might help.

Yeah Brian, thanks for the VCD:headbang: Every once in a while I break it out and take a look at it. Zap was the first thru, he took the longest because he had to find the right line. I came into the creek and ran smack into that big rock (I'm blind:cool: ) After that it wasnt to bad. Should have seen Brian move out of the way when I came launching up the other end:grin:

That field tore up some cars. XSNRG broke a alloy wheel, some guy tore out his front stru/hub assembly and somebody else broke also. Gnarly stuff.

They only use us for special occasions. Like Subiefest 06:brow:

Its alot closer for you. Seattle vs. PDX/Hood River.

Is it running yet? I got the heads and intake on mine. Got to put a different turbo on, the old one was toast. Might have it running by the first of the week. Oh yeah, new clutch also.

Well, he can always ride the Goldwing home when the Brat breaks down:rolleyes: I would like to know how he got it in there. And how is he going to get it out.

Thats the side the oil filler tube is on. Maybe it puked out of that? What was the engine temp like when it happened. I've heard of severly overheated engines perkolating oil out the filler tubes.

I just bought 2 from the Dealer for almost the same price. Internet price:D

Just for S&G's, check the crank pulley - make sure its tight.

Hey, there should have been another pair of those o-rings. I almost bought 4, but decided I only needed 2. Someone else must have come in after me:rolleyes: Just clean the headbolts and use a good clean one as a tap. Thats what I plan on doing. I just need to get away from here and DO IT. I did managed to clean up one head and cam case, it sparkles:D I've spent more time cleaning than assembly. As usual:cool:

Unseasonal snow? I thought it was winter there?:-p As for romping on EA82T's, when I had my Turbo COupe I was beating alot of different cars on the RallyX track. Came in 4th the last time I raced:headbang: Not bad for a 20yr old car.

Yup, welcome back to Subaru Heaven:headbang: Glad to hear you had a safe trip, thats alot of miles on 2 wheels:burnout:
