laffy Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 hi, i just wondered if the distributor is the same on a 86 xt turbo, as on my 88 leone turbo. Mine doesn't work, and the local subaru-dealer wants 900$ for a new. Laffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 The distys may be compatable. I would be checking the the type of ignition setup each has. You should be able to find used disty at a salvage yard or a rebuilt one from a parts supplier for a lot less than new if they don't swap directly.

calebz Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Not sure where you are, but in the US market, the 85-86 turbo cars used a different fuel system and distributor than the 87-90 turbo cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Humble Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Check RockAuto on the web. They have good prices but better yet they have a parts cataloge that will allow you to cross check part numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddcomp Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 i have the disty off my 85 rx ea82t turbo if you want it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyewdall Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Ummmm. Maybe this is a stupid question, but doesn't one have 6 cylinders, and the other only has four? Even if you swapped caps on them, the little crank angle sensor plate would be confused because of it's pattern with 6 or 4 sectors would be wrong. Or am I missing something?

calebz Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Or am I missing something? Definitely AN XT has 4 cyniders A GL has 4 cylinders An XT6 however, has .. you guessed it.. 6 cylinders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 This happened to me also. I had the six in mind when I first saw the post and thought the same thing until I did a seach and found out about the regular XT. I told you it was a stupid question..... I saw the XT and assumed it was an XT6... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
