  1. You guys need to use the search function more :-p http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=89699&highlight=mitsubishi+injectors I ran the Mitsu injectors on my last EA82T. Add a 255lph fuel pump and you should be golden.
  2. Mmmmm.....pizza/beer. You going to buy my brand?
  3. From what I've heard, the rad from a AT car is a 2 row. I'll see if I can find the scoop.
  4. If you go over to Nasioc, specifically NWIC, check out the classifieds. There are usually some for sale. I would get a WRX IC that has all the parts to it, the y-pipe, recirc valve, etc. I can look to see if my old scoop is still good, if you want that one. BOV are for ricers
  5. Using PM's will work fine. I take it, this is your first Subaru? If so, listen to what North Wet is saying. A colder t-stat will not let the engine warm up to operating temp, which leads to other problems with the engine. Installing a IC will help quite a bit, it dropped my engine temp drastically. Replace every cooling line on the engine, make sure they are quality hoses too. Finding gen 3 heads is very difficult, almost impossible. I think 90 is the only year they were made and it was a bandaid for the remaining engines for that year. I'm not sure if they are available from the dealership or not still, but you could try asking. The digi dashes in these models are ok, the early ones from 85-86 were orange and were hard to see. 87 and up are green and brighter. The ones that NW mentioned are pre 85 and not in these models.
  6. I'm not sure if the wiring for the inst cluster is a direct plug-in or not, theres only one way to find out, eh? As for the HG, if your not going to up the boost just get the Felpro ones you dont have to re-torque. And just over torque the heads by 10lbs and use the spray I mentioned.
  7. I thought the same thing for many years, and I made it work for a while. Eventually you will get tired of swapping engines/headgaskets/etc ad infinitum. What do you plan on doing about the HG problem? I used copper spray sealant on my HG and over torqued them by 10ft lbs, the last 2 builds never blew or leaked. But because I increased the boost, I blew the ring lands off a piston. The heads crack because they dont cool well enough and the water jacket walls are to thin. There are 3 gens of heads, the 3rd being the best, but they will crack if overheated enough. Also the passenger side head gets coolant last and its next to the turbo. Building a EA82T to handle more boost takes $$$, you cant do it on a budget......trust me. Search and read my threads about my RX here and in the Retrofit Forum, you'll see what I've done in the last 5-6yrs. You will need to swap out the wiring harness for the interior also. The sending units for both cars are different, gas, oil, temp, etc. You've got a lot of work ahead of you. I might have done it 10yrs ago, but its not worth all the trouble anymore :-\ And this is a warning to GD - If you post in this thread, I'll delete it. Just forget you ever heard of the EA82T.
  8. 86 GL10 Turbo Wagon, it was free. After...
  9. I know her situation and car well, she didnt give all the details :-p Its not factory, its aftermarket (NO drain holes). Her hubby (Mykeystoy) contacted the original installers (from 1983!) and they couldnt help - they said go to a custom shop. It needs to be completely replaced, thats why she's looking for a shop in the Puget Sound area that does sunroofs. As for the headliner, its the thick cardboard with vinyl liner on it. Its not pliable or easy to bend, therefor it doesnt tuck into the surround of the inner seal. I think that when they find a shop that can replace the unit, they will be able to do something to fix the headliner (hopefully). Thats it, all they need is some help finding a shop in our area that does custom sunroofs.
  10. Enable your PM function please.
  11. Before... Still not finished with it. The 95 Imp I had for a while. Before... Theres more, but I wont subject everyone to the horror. After... My old 92 SVX right before I got it... This is what brake fluid does to paint... After... The 89 XT6 that Caboob owned/I got/He got back... After... 89XT MPFI 5spd 4WD. Before... After... My first lifted Hatch. Before... After...
  12. Want to hear something even stranger? When I first moved to WA in 83, I used to live just down the street on 232nd Ct E My Dad built the house and my Wife and I lived there for about 4yrs till my Sister moved in. That whole area has certainly been built up in the last several years. Sorry for the hijack.
  13. Go over to the Retrofit Forum and check out some of the builds threads there (I have one also). As for wheels, your stuck trying to find Peugeot 14in/15in wheels unless you do a 5 lug swap, which is also in the Retrofit Forum.
  14. The Brat has a unibody, no frame. You will need to build some kind of subframe as its not just going to bolt up to the Metro.
  15. I would assume that people would do the smart thing and do a tune up prior to upgrades. Again, I say assume
  16. We actually have a write up here for that. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=50768
  17. I suggest you have someone watch the drivers side cam pulley while you crank it to make sure its spinning.
  18. I believe its under the dash on the left side. Kind of a pita to get to :-\
  19. 410 Machine in Buckley. Or contact Delta and see who they use.
  20. You should have a switch on the steering column. It turns the parking lights on/off whether the ign is on or not. Btw, this is the #1 question of new Subaru owners :-p
  21. Its usually setup for early/mid Dec. Dont want to get a tree to early Qman has been the one to set it up in the past, so stay tuned. Oh, expect lots of snow this year

  23. Turbone replied to dalton420's topic in Off Road
    Try looking in the vendors forum.
  24. A lot of the newer EJ's have plastic (ABS) intakes.
