Turbone

When you rebuilt the carb, is there a gasket that seperates the 2 halfs? I ask because I've torn down other carbs, but not a Hitachi. It kind of sounds like there is fuel going somewhere where it shouldnt be when you slosh it inside. If there was a break/misalignment of some kind on the gasket, this might happen. Or maybe the screws that hold the halfs together are not tight. I've only had one Soob that had a Hitachi on it, the rest are Weber and FI.

Well, you better quit talking and get building, cause its only 5 months away

The "Wagon" The "Hatch" The "Coupe" The "Parts Cars" I just dont have time to sit around and try and think up names for my cars

Yea, I think the clutch itself was my problem, it was stock.

I thought the meet and greet at Alkii was this weekend? That would make it the 3rd, not the 10th. Lets get this date straight.

Scooby, this is on the 10th. The meet and greet at Alkii is this weekend, the 3rd. Is it not?

Way to go! Glad to know I'm not the only one who's had the experience of being a EMT in Wa state. I was a volunteer Fireman/EMT for Bonney Lake for several years (92-99) before I had to give it up. Thats one helluva test too, and you did pretty good, congrats. Who's your sponsor?

I burned up 2 clutches because it was a EA81 (not T), not meant for Turbos. And I was using a 4spd tranny. 2 row rads were never stock for Subaru, it will be hard to find in the JY. I'm not sure about the diff between the flywheels, but I'm positive there will be. If you are going to have 2 turbos on this car, do not use a EA81 4spd. It just isnt going to work. Put in a 5spd D/R, and have Jerry make you the shifter kit. It looks completly stock (EA81). Why are you going to put a Volvo IC in if you dont even know what it looks like?

Hey Tex, I totally spaced out the little agreement we had before you went over. I'll try and get it to you soon buddy

Where did you get the dash kit?

Oops, did I open a can of worms here? Ok, I stand corrected. Sorry Zap, I only saw one post from you and I wasnt sure you were coming. As for the others, well, I've only off roaded with Austin, Zap and Ed before Plus, theres not much for 4 wheeling in that area I believe? Its still on for Sat at 3pm?

The EA81T and the EA82T are alot different and simaliar in some ways. You can do more mods to the EA82T. But to answer some of you questions along with Skip, 1. Some of the goodies that Skip uses are EA82T exclusive, but some may work for the EA81T. Like the boost pressure valve (which I think is adjustable boost control), dash controlled disty timing is for advancing the timing to help avoid detonation. 2. I think right now, the XT6 flywheel is the lightest "stock" one around, altho I'm not sure if anyone has put one on a EA81T yet. I'm not sure if theres a diff between the 2wd or 4wd EA81's. You can use the EA82 and lighten it some like Skip did. Then again, it was for a EA82T. 3. To make a LSD a 3.90 ratio, you need to remove the guts and install it into a 3.90 diff with the ring and pinion. I believe the procedure is in the USRM. 4. Max boost for a EA81T? Who knows? Stock is 7psi. I would think the safe limit would be around 12psi, but I could be wrong. There is no fuel cutout on the EA81T that I'm aware of. There is an Air Relief Valve on the EA81T manifold, that releases air if the wastegate fails to release enough boost. This needs to be eliminated, but a well built boost controller needs to be installed. 5. I think a 2 row rad will work fine, and dual fans will fit. 6. There is a stock oil cooler on the EA81T already. 7. I'm not sure how you would run the plumbing for a front mount IC. Its pretty straight forward no the top mount. 8. Use the biggest Accel coil there is, not the one everybody has been using lately (POS IMO). I'm not at all sure how this will all mate up and run with the setup you are thinking of, but if you are determined I say "Damn the Torpedoes, Full Steam Ahead!"

WooHoo! Major Grats Jaime I had no idea you had another on the way, and now you have one of each Good luck, and God bless you all.

What I meant by PNP was plug and play, sorry. Also, the other question I asked was if you guys had the adjustable rears coil overs or not. But after reading some more, and the updated info, I'm guessing you do and are replacing the spring (hence the spring compressor).

I suggest since no one really has a capable offroad Soob, that you just meet n' greet. Find a place where you can take pics and hang out for a little bit.

Do you have seat controls on the left side of the drivers seat? Wont work if you do. Being a newer car, a seat from the JY would be hard to find. You could upgrade to some "Better" ones.

Ok, I'm assuming that your wagons do not have the adjustable rear coil overs. But the extra lift you are getting is more than you would get with the adj type jacked all the way. And these are PNP? No mods necessary? Do they say Honda on them?, haha with grinder in hand

Dont be a stranger Al. You ever need something, just give me a holler. And thanks for all the insights

I 2nd what Caleb said. XT Turbo 4wd with low mileage(yes, thats low) for $500 is a great price. Go for it

I think he's talking about the cross drilled rotors Andy. Not a bad idea of redrilling the hubs tho.

Thats just not natural, I guess thats why I like it! And the pics came thru for me on dial-up also.

Check the rotor like Caleb suggested. If it spins, you know you lost the screw. J/K, teasing you too with the "Bob"

Dut, you need to read the previous posts

Zap, and anyone else in Washington that sells a car, can do this online and it only takes a couple of minutes. This way you CYA. https://fortress.wa.gov/dol/rosprod/

I think its the roof rack:brow:
