Turbone

A good Magnaflow or Flowmaster would be better for a EA engine.

You are correct on all points.

Its a ticking time bomb. I had to replace the back part of a 4EAT trans that had a u-joint go out (from PO). Any more questions?

It sounds just like the 5spd Fulltime that was in my RX. If the clutch pack looks good, its most likely the front diff.

Chart is gone :-\

Yeah, well thats all I got :-p

I found the data I had...

Did you do a search using his screen name?

Couple of things here.... 1. A 92' VF11 is nothing like a 06' VF40. 2. It sounds like you drive yours a tad more aggressively than a little old lady

Ummm, no. I drank that stuff for a time and it was starting to mess with me. I did some research on the sweetener used and its bad juju. Do a google on aspartame.

Those "guys" are trying to get business in a bad economy :-\ But they dont care about some old ladies bank account The leak is probably coming from the crank seal and leaking onto the up-pipe, which runs right under the front of the engine. For the cost of the seal and labor, it should cost less than $100 to fix this. Sure wish she was closer, I would probably do it for free.

Granted, I've been lucky in sourcing a lot of my parts. But I dont believe its going to cost someone close to $12k to make it worthy of WRX capabilities. You never went that far with any EA82 you owned, so I hope you dont consider yourself a expert on this. Also, a stock WRX is capable of far more potential if you spend the money to upgrade. A stock WRX is nothing special.

A redhot turbo doesnt mean it was running lean, it was running rich. It was dumping raw fuel into and it was cooking off in the turbo. Mine did the same thing when my rotor screw fell out and the timing went nuts. So if you say your having injector problems, it could be dumping to much fuel into the system.

Welcome to the USMB. GL finding your Hatch, theres some for sale occasionally around here. And I have lots of fun in my Hatch.

So now your going to bash on the car itself? Theres nothing wrong with the RX if you have the right engine in it. I've had a few WRX's unable to keep up with my RX. So stuff it GD To the OP, do a search in this forum and read up on all the stuff about the EA82T. You will find out what your up against.

Possibly a plugged cat. But yeah, pull it and toss it.

It could be something as simple as a valve cover gasket leaking. Not much chance of a turbo going out at that mileage. Sounds like the shop is trying to take advantage of a little old lady :-\ Theres no dedicated Subaru shop around?

Ahem.....yes I had just walked in the door from spending 2hrs at the UW and commuting south in our awesome I-5 traffic :-\

Felpro perma-seal

Show me a set of EA82T (used) heads that arent cracked between the valves. Even if the are, its not a issue unless the surface is deformed and messes with the valve seat. All EA82 with MPFI were dual port intakes.

Theres a lot of info in this forum I moved this to, just do a search and start reading. Your best engine swap will be a EJ22.

Look at the water in the bottle guys. Thats quite a dangle to the angle there Mick
