Turbone

Change the fuel filter lately?

Well, the car is only 18yrs old. And I put a 18yr old coil back on:D It just seems lately that alot of people have been putting on the Accel 8140, and that some of them have been failing. There could be alot of things contributing to the failures, one of them being QC.

I had a problem like this with my 86 GL10 Turbo wagon. After replacing the waterpump the problem was gone. You should be able to find a cap for the recovery tank at the JY.

Give it a few months, it will leave you stranded somewhere. Trust me, and some other folks. Switch to the yellow or the mega spark. http://usmb.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12600

Brian, I know how much you want to use the EA81T. But remember, the injectors are in the heads. If you use another intake system, you will have to plug the bosses. I would suggest using a EA81 NA block and put the early EA82 MPFI intake on. The ECU will be able to handle it. I think it would be a much more reliable off road rig. And theres always someone looking for a good EA81T. Just my .02

DOH! How could I miss that? Man, I'm gonna catch heck now:eek:

Wow, that was a great turnout. Almost 100 vehicles, and 5 Soobs in the top10. Dominating:D

Ok, your car was made till (I believe) 88. Whatever you do, dont tell the parts store the year of your car. All they do is give you the wrong parts and argue with you. Its best to go with 84 as the year, cause its basically the same thing and the parts are correct. The specs are also the same. Timing is 8 deg BTDC Head torque is: 1st step 22ft lbs 2nd step 43ft lbs 3rd step 47ft lbs Check to see if there is a label on the side of the valve covers saying not to adjust the valves. This would mean you have hydraulic lifters.

Ha! That was me on Sunday:o 86 in a 70:eek:

Just fixed a no-start prob with my 86 GL10 Turbo wagon. Turned out to be the coil (4 months old). It had spark, but not enough.

Not quite true SJ. He said himself that his is one of five in Oz.

The auction says it has a clear TN title.

I would have the Alt checked out. With a wire on the back that looks fried, something is going on. Also the ignitor module is known to have these symptoms, a disty replacement would be in order.

Good, I see he got his Roo Bar on:D Thats the best looking Hatch in Oz.

It sounds like you got the setup just right:clap: I still havent heard a head count for Soobs.

How many Soobies showed up? Sorry I missed it, made a run to Moxee Motors today. I'll make it to the next one.

:lol: Moosey's got gadget envy. I almost agree with him tho. Should we rename Skip Inspector Gadget?

Flow, I sent you a PM.

What kind of seats you looking for Heep? I have 2 fronts that will fit your 86. GL10 seats:D

GD, mine was chrome. Maybe thats why it died:rolleyes: The wife thought it would go faster:D

Dont know yet, havent tested it. But it crossed my mind when I found out the thing was bad.

Well the wifes 86 Turbo Wagon died in downtown Tacoma today. She needed to get to the Dr's, so I couldnt do much. When we got back, It still wouldnt start. Had juice and fuel, but not start. Took everyone home (20mi), and A.Savage showed up for his parts. Said he would take me back and help out. Well after fussing with it for an hour with no results, I decided to change the coil. I put this coil in 4 months ago, its a Accel Hi-Po. I was checking the wires to make sure they were tight and my fingers came back oily. Luckily I had another EA82T to rob some parts from (disty and coil). So I swapped the other coil in and it fired right up. The old coil was still putting out spark, but it didnt look real hot, and the plugs were firing also. Alot of things made us think that the coil was not the culprit. Kind of pisses me off that a fairly new coil would do this:banghead: I would also like to thank Al for his help today. A #1 guy.

Thats quite a collection of Turbos you have there Skip:D Cant wait to hear how this build goes. Moosey, I think you made a comment a while back when Skip posted a pic pertaining to something(cant recall that far back), and you mentioned it reminded you of a shop class bench.

Hey, the Brat was a left hander! Thats pretty rare in Japan.

I'm pretty sure the wiring runs along the drivers side. That means removing the rear side panel, the door sill and what ever else is in the way to the firewall. I dont know what connections there are in the dash, I havent been there, yet. Dont forget to get a price on that stuff for me. Thanks in advance.
