Turbone

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.

Its not that hard to get to. Inside the trunk above the spare tire, inbetween the speakers. As for the wires, thats going to be a pain. But I'm not sure you will need them, and I'm not sure you even need the ECU. You have MPFI in your car now, dont you? The parts I need are the dash (not the cluster), the drivers side door panel and maybe the hood. What color is the exterior? How did you manage to get the intake for free? You should have got all the stuff with it. Sorry, should have read it better, you have a carb. You need everything that was on the intake. And the ECU, and wiring. And fuel pump. I know theres more, but I cant remember this late at night.

The ECU is in the trunk, but its between the speakers under the deck. What yard is the XT in? I need some interior parts. Is it a gray interior?

Are those Chevy wheels? Nice looking Hatch. Give it a dozen trips on the trail and it will look like mine:D

Ah, didnt know I was that ....uh......out of wack (for lack of a better word) Excellent pics, Austin:clap: Yours too, Zap.

4 Corners in Maple Valley ( Kent-Kangley and Maple Valley-Black Diamond Hwy). Austin knows who the last guy in line is:D Altho he did quite well on the trail.

That wasnt a river, it was one deep mud puddle:brow: Sorry to hear about your troubles Austin. But dont feel bad, Qman is having fits with his Weber also.

Not unless you have a Weber to go with it. There is no airbox (Turbo, MPFI,SPFI only) mod on a carbed Soob either, it has a standard aircleaner on top of the carb. Get some good tires if you want to RallyX. Plug wires and a hotter coil will help, along with the exhaust.

Titanium:D

Ha, these wires are so cool, I had to go out and get another car to put them on:D Almost got the car for the same price too:eek: Pics later.......

Thats Johns (aka Mudrat). It has a 2.2 Legacy engine with AT in it. And a 12in lift. He made diff hangers for it. You can do a search for more info.

I thought it was a 84 Turbo wagon?

I have one in 3 of my rigs. They are aftermarket units you can get at a parts store. Mine is called Ice Alert.

Thanks for the Kudo's guys. It means alot coming from the HP Founders. Was I really that wild?

Well, you can tell I had fun. And yes, I did break something. The left side diff hanger lost a bolt, then during one of my runs I pulled the other one out. It slowed me down some, but Mike(thanks again) had some extra bolts and I was able to get it reattached for the drive home. Most fun I've had in a while, even with the bad back.

Sorry, the car is long gone. Didnt think to remove the crossmember:rolleyes: Oh well. Scooby, not meaning to diss you or anything, BUT, for someone who has just got his first Soob and doesnt have alot of knowledge about it and the workings of it. I would suggest you use the car as-is for a while. I know you havent been driving it much (if you have - bad boy), but once you get your license back, you can put some more miles on it. Then after a while, start looking for a EA82T GL10 Wagon. They are great cars, I have one. Theres other Turbo models out there also. I just think your putting alot of unnecessary work into something that you may have second thoughts about.
