Turbone

Hmm, I dont think the wheel you show here is a representation of what they are selling as a "Subaru Brat Wheel". The ones on the website are typical OEM wheels that fit all EA81 vehicles.

Where does it say its a Felony? Theres a back way to Evans Crk. I will definatly be investigating this route when I go next time (soon).

The turbo's are a closed system. Anytime you open a air passageway it will drop the idle.

Yeah, ditto that. I have a tarp and a piece of plywood:mad:

I think there is a Honda kit that can be made to fit. You can get more info on the kits for XT's at XT6.net. They are no longer made and are extremely hard to find.

From what I understand, the ECU cannot be hacked. You might be able to piggyback it tho. Alot of people here are getting away from swaps like this because theres alot of fitage headaches. The better engine for a swap is the EJ's, it fits nicely into any year engine bay, is very dependable, has lots of available upgrades.

Mounting is the easy part. I need a beefier Alt and dual battery setup to make it run right;)

South Prairie and Prairie Ridge are 2 different places. The former is down in the "Valley" and about 3mi away. Mykey lives in SP:-p

Hey, I know a guy in SP who is far far worse than me

Boy, that was a quick turn around:D

Your best bet is to go over to XT6.net. They are XT specific there and I think one of the board members has done the turbo setup.

Qman came over today, just had to show n' tell. Described my prob with the Hatch, after looking at the winch. Put it in gear and let out the clutch, it just sat there. Now, I was going to do this, but havent had the minute to do it:rolleyes: He looked underneath and chuckled. What? I said. Look under the car, he said. I got out, the car still in gear and running (e-brake on). The right rear is just churning away, digging up turf. The left rear is stationary. I had pulled the axle out after my last run:rolleyes: Cant figure out why the tire turns but wont move car (even with e-brake off). Prarie Ridge = Bonney Lake

Well, besides having to install the winch, I need to find out if my rear diff is toast:rolleyes: And I need to install fender flares, so I hopefully wont get ticketed by the Sheriff:mad:

I really have to pat myself on the back, twice. He was getting set up for a major yard sale. His garage was full of computer stuff, gun holsters, etc (he just sold two bench loads of reloading stuff). If I wasnt in such a hurry, I know I would have spent more $. And I got out of there as fast as I could:burnout:

Yup, got it off CL. A Warn 6000lb low profile. Came with 2 relays, remote and rollers. Pics to come soon:headbang: Oh, $250:D

Thats one nice Hatch. To bad your going to beat it up offroad:mad: Just try and be careful, I want to see it in good shape in Aug:headbang: You can park it next to mine:D

What time Zap? I need a road trip/get out of the house afternoon.

Thanks for the offer, but I just picked a carbed engine on Monday. Got to go with that right now.

I'm going carbed. I want reliability. The carbed block is 9.0:1.

You can just see it behind the trike in the Brat pic:D Good new for the RX. Passed emissions and got new plates for it. Its finally legal and on the road after 2.5yrs:headbang:

Do the NA turbo swap. I think (I'm still researching) all is needed for the swap is to change blocks. I know it sounds to simple, but the intake stays with the car and bolts to the NA block. Transfer over the crossover pipe. You guys that have done the retrofit, speak up.

Cams are not a good idea. Ask Tex.

Oh yeah, another issue about the Brat I forgot. It seems the PO was doing the neighborly thing and pulled some friends out during winter. He was a little aggressive tho. Both tow hooks and mounts are completely torn off the frame rails:eek: They tried to repair it by welding and bolting them thru the bed, but it looks like he tried to do the same thing again. The mounts for the bumper and all the metal behind the roll pan are mangled. I have my work cut out for me.

Roger that.

I have 3 different cars I would lke to bring. The RX of course, the Brat and the Hatch. If I bring the Hatch, I'll be able to play in the mudpit. But risk breaking and having to fix it in order to get it back home. If I find another driver, I might bring 2.
