bigo1966 Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Look what Santa left next to the dumpster!!!! I went in and asked if I could have it and the shop owner said Merry Christmass its yours. Its even all aluminum. I strapped it to the top of the rodeo with a couple of shirts and some jumper cables. Motor mount finally done, looks like something out of Mad Max for sure. And a few pics of why I havent done anything to the car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monstaru Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 awesome.just remember ,gussets are your friend.the torque out of that motor sitting by itself might be more than in a balanced 2 wheeler.i would tie the tubing into the outside mount areas.be sure to take care for the exhaust on the pass. side.....looks awesome though.... your life looks good too:grin:...now get back to the car(as i sit here and wonder about a certain hatch that has not been touched forever)..cheers, brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigo1966 Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Good news, the sedamn idled across the yard lastnight, roughly a slow walking speed. All I had was a kill switch walking next to it. Started it in gear, lowest range. I need to plump up coolant lines, electrical, clutch and throttle and choke. Im going to use the hood release as the choke cable. Ill have to pin the hood as there is no hood latch anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breeke Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I love this build. Keep on her. Can't wait to see some running driving video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 ************in sweet! what do you think the crawl ratio was at ?cheers, brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigo1966 Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 IT LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was able to drive her around....kind of, no power steering, no power brakes and no clutch. Who needs those anyways? It needs the rest of the exhaust bad, VERY loud. Im not sure if the ST engine was in 1st or 2nd gear in the video. Its actually alot quicker than I thought it would be. I still need to clean everything up under the hood. I have a Subaru manual but the wiring diagram does not match any wire colors under the hood. So could someone help answer the following questions: What color is the wire that sends the oil psi signal, coolant temp signal, and what wire sends the tachometer signal. I have spent an hour and its the worst diagram ive seen. Oh yeah, and how do i get my darn fuel pump to stay on. I had to take the minus yellow wire that would normally go to the coil and touch it to the positive terminal on the battery and it would turn on for 2-3 seconds and send fuel then turn off, i would have to repeat to fill the bowls up. Thanks for the help guys! Video to come as soon as its done uploading. Not the best vid but it is the virgin voyage. Video but as of 10:26 its not done up loading.

bigo1966 Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 Thanks guys! It wraps up very quickly. I cant wait to shift gears. It kind of reminds me of a monster truck since the shocks are shot. Front end up, front end down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one eye Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 That thing is going to crawl like crazy............ Nice work!!!!! Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 95:1... how'd you come up with that? Indeed very impressive. Lets hope it doesn't die that easily everytime you try to crawl onto a rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigo1966 Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 23:1 low rage on subaru, times Primary reduction 1.829 Gear ratio, 1st 2.266 =95.32:1 Its has pretty much zero torque at idle, once the RPMs increase i should be fine. The Honda ST1100 makes the most torque and horsepower from 5000 to 6500 rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hrm... using this calculator: http://www.riversideruffriders.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.crawlCalc & this chart: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=84798 I came up with 42:1 crawl ratio. Not sure if I did it wrong. I assume you are using the EA82 d/r 5spd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 you need, first gear in soob 3.545 low range in soob 1.59 the diff ratios 0.00? and the lowest range from the bike trans, which would be first gear 0.00 =crawl ratio cheers, brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigo1966 Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 My bad its 91.2215, the subaru lowest range is 22:1, not 23:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 When did subaru have 22:1 low range? What am i missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Any chance you could have Delta grind you some cams that would move your power band down into the 1500-3500 range? That would be about ideal for crawling... -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 When did subaru have 22:1 low range? What am i missing? that is a stock crawl ratio for a subie.well, with a 5speed D/R. 3.545 1.59 3.70 ,3.90 , 4.11 , or 4.44 x3.9 is 21.98blah blah blah:1 x4.11=23.166:1 cheers, brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
