  1. Yup. About 30-50 people over the last 15+ years.
  2. Might be a good idea to read thru this thread, but heres a post pertaining to this discussion. And Matt Monson knows what he's talking about... http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=36656
  3. Ollllllllllllllllllllllllllllld news.
  4. Dont they have to be pretty colors to be alien? Regardless, those suckers are bright
  5. I had the same problem with a 86 T-Wagon. I just reached up and held the screen down with my fingers so the glass wouldnt bind up.
  6. OP, I suggest you start your research here... http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=-1&f=87
  7. There are several threads in this forum related to this. Heres one for starters. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=69912&highlight=EA81+axle+EJ
  8. Snap, my harness for some reason had the alt circuit removed. Thats why I'm using the EA wiring. I have another harness, maybe I can just remove that circuit and splice it in. Or try and connect the yellow to a switched source and keep my fingers crossed. Once I get that straightened out, I'll see what I can do about the stumble issue. I can accel ok if I dont go hard on the gas, or with no load. I need to check my hoses from the turbo to IC to TB and make sure theres no leaks. Right now I'm running without a O2 sensor. Would this possibly cause this? Thanks for all the suggestions.
  9. Hi Pat, welcome to the USMB. Good to see another SVX owner that also likes the old school Subaru's. Not sure if you know me from the SVX board or not. Currently on my 3rd SVX (non-running), but should have that fixed when my current project is done.
  10. I have no idea how it ran in the donor car, I just know it had good compression and ran "ok". Havent checked for codes, I hope I have that hooked up correctly. Check which yellow wire? I have a few. You talking about the wires coming from the alt? I tied into the EA wiring for the alt and the yellow wire isnt hooked up. Maybe this is my problem. I may have a boost leak. I have good vac on my boost gauge, its just when accelerating that it cuts out.
  11. I've got it running, altho its not doing what it should be. First of all, the idle. It starts at 1k and rises to 2k and holds there. Should I use the set screws on the TB to bring it down, or what? Second issue, charging system. Not sure if I have a bad alt or what, but its not putting out anything close to a charge. I put my meter on it and it shows 11.50v and I missed something in my wiring splice as all my idiot lights are lit. Thirdly is the temp. What do these engines normally run at? My gauge is showing 200deg, which is quite a bit higher than my EA82T ran. I had to use the thermostat that was originally on it and I dont think its opening :-\ Fourth issue is driveability. When I give it the gas, it falls on its face. I'm using the stock EA fuel pump, so I wonder if this is the problem And last but not least......I hate doing builds on a budget Stats: 89 RX with fulltime D/R tranny/diff lock. Tranny adapter from Rgyver. Using XT6 flywheel drilled out to mate to EJ engine. EJ22T from wrecking yard in Yakima. EJ harness from outside sources.
  12. Fuel leak I believe. Moving this to retrofit....
  13. You will need the ECU to engine harness. Hope you also got a turbo cross member.
  14. You can finally add me to the list 89 RX 92 EJ22T RX Tranny (till it grenades)
  15. It would look totally different on mine. Theres no contrast.
  16. Yeah, I forgot to mention them. Have several pieces from that brand. One is a broken 17mm socket :-\ Not saying they are bad tools, we have a local parts store that sells them exclusively. I bought my stuff off a local private truck.
  17. I might have something to trade for those superlites.
  18. You buy the RT plane ticket, no problem. The only thing thats any good on it is the intake and heads.
  19. Better to ask this over at http://www.subaruxt.com
