Turbone

Hey Zap, is Sean and the car going to be at the show?

Drive on!

Glad to hear you got it running. But just a little correction on your problem. It was the fuel filter that was clogged, right?

Do you have rear disc brakes or drums? If they are drum brakes, they can be adjusted. There is a square peg on the bottom of the drum that can be turned to push the brake shoes out. When they hit the drum, back them off just a hair. If you have rear discs, then you may need to bleed the brakes. Make sure you have good pads all the way around.

Nope, want the touring wagon :cool:

If you could hang on to it for another 4/5 months, I might be interested.

Used to belong to Jason H. He made the lift for it and did something else that I cant recall. Surprised its still there.

Sorry, but a little ole set screw isnt going to hold that steering shaft. Remember what happened to me last year at Rieter Pit? Due to my (ahem) lack of welding experience, that same piece broke on me after hitting a log at an angle. I was stuck there for 3hrs waiting for Austin to bring me another shaft extension. You should be able to remove the piece from the joint and bottom flange and take it to someone that can weld it (right).

I dont claim to be a serious expert on dashes, but I have worked on a few If you dont have any electronics training/background, dont even attempt it. Even changing over to a EA81 digidash is a feat, and you want to change over to something thats not even close (except being from a Soob). If you think the dash is cool, go buy yourself an XT

If you want to check to see if the FP is working, just drop the panel under the steering column and connect the 2 wires with the green plugs. This will put the car in test mode and will run the FP continuous when the key is on, you should be able to hear the pump running from the back.

You can go ahead and try everyones ideas, but the first thing I would do is loosen the gas cap and see if the problem continues. If not, its obvious...you need a new gas cap. I actually bought a 85 GL wagon with this problem. Got it for $10, and sold it for $300. If the problem is still there, replace the fuel filter and check the relay.

Glad to hear your ok, make sure her insuarance company pays for all Dr bills. Hate to say it, but your car is FUBAR

On what car? Most of the connectors in question are for testing at the Dealership. And some are for accessories that are not installed that might be later.

Welcome to the Board and to Subaru's Your first problem sounds like the temp sensor. Dont confuse this with the temp sending unit. The temp sensor tells the ECU if the engine is hot or cold, then adjust the injectors and choke accordingly. Could just be a dirty connection at the plug. Not sure about the location on the XT6 but it may be just to the left and in front of the bellhousing/clutch. Cylinder shaped and stands straight up. Might be green also. The noisy lifters are commomn on this models. The fix is easy and inexpensive. Go to the dealer and get a oil pump rebuild kit, it just a modified o-ring that we call a Mickeymouse seal. Theres also a seal for the shaft. Fixing the first problem might fix the 3rd problem.

The heatshield on the cross over pipe helps protect the oil pump from high heat. Plus the oil line to the turbo is right there, not to mention the oil cooler not to far away either. If you can remove enough to weld the pipe then replace it again, it will help keep the heat off. I've been thinking of a wrap for a while, but these hold heat in and can make the pipe crack again(this is where a ceramic coated pipe would be great). I also leave the skid plate off so air circulates in the engine compartement better.

I'm going to try and leave with the early group. Maybe I'll have the wife and kids meet up with you guys later J/K

Might be a possibility. They dont ticket for Cruising there, do they?

I dont think so. The frame rails are further apart on your car and the body styles are so much different. But with a welding torch, anything can be made to fit

Make sure you remove the TC from the flywheel. Install the TC back on the tranny, turning it untill you feel the keyway slip in the shaft. Then your ok to put the tranny back on the engine. Failure to do this will result in a ruined tranny, and reattach the TC to the flywheel. Believe me, I had to learn the hard way

Would a Mid-life Crisis work? Just tell the wife and kids we are going on a Sabbatical, we should be gone for only about 2 weeks.....Problem is, I dont think we could come back empty handed

Yes Paul, most of us luv ya Have some wild ideas sometimes, but what the heck, it keeps things hopping here. If I was younger, wasnt married with 2 kids, I would probably hop on a ship and work my way over there. Stay for a while and maybe work a little here and there, enjoying the country and see as many Subaru's as possible. Now whos dreaming

You will have to change all the exhaust/intake flanges to fit the turbo. There may be a few more items I dont know about. A bigger turbo will mean more turbo lag, but when it kicks in, hold on to your hat Better put a IC on it too, if you want the engine to last.

Ha, that pic of my trk and me is when I was pulling a broken support out so it wouldnt puncture the tire. I wont be doing that in again - in the trk.

I smell a movie here :cool: At least he should go to Hollywierd and start writing, this sounds better than most stuff coming from there

There was about 10 of us there. Eric, Ken/Son, Tex/GF, Amanda, Danbob99, Matt, Will(newb), Brian in his Yota Landyacht, and me in my Mazda. Didnt get to see to much action from Kens Brat, I was in front of him. Had a hard time keeping up with Eric in his Hatch tho, I was a little leary of body damage. Which I did fix(kinda) today, it looks better than it did
