Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 That's a bunch of things, well done! About the Catalytic converter... I removed both on my EA82 wagon more than twenty years ago, and welded there straight 2" pipes, the thing has been working awesome since then, it improves the exhaust flow and decreases the workin' temp a little, while adds a louder tone; but I don't need to pass emission tests here. So I bet that welding a straight pipe there, is the way to go; 'till you can obtain another catalytic converter; maybe a junk yard one in good shape will be enough. Kind Regards.

SnatchedHatch Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Cool, I guess I'll go the simple route. Getting a section of pipe in would be really cheap as opposed to experimenting with that chamber. Here's a few extra pics of my car now: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also cut mine out and ran a straight pipe in it's place. Sounds fantastic and I STILL passed my emissions with flying colors. However, they only look for 1 converter and sniff the tailpipe on the dyno. Still 600 ppm under the limit. I do have an SPFI EA82 though... YRMV.

l75eya Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 To add to the discussion above, I also replaced my cat with a straight pipe and put a magna flow @ the rear. It has a nice warble to it now but it is a touch loud. I don't set off car alarms but I do make them chirp. I love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 My "BumbleBeast" does activate all car alarms around, but with the Weber on Full Throttle! Not with the Exhaust ... ... Kind Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 KROLL ! Must be written by someone in cold climate appreciating an oil burning furnace in their garage or shop.

1-3-2-4 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I've got a 70,000 BTU heater I filled it up with diesel about 3 weeks ago, nice to be outside in the cold and taking off the jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmillonbe Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Finally warm enough to deal with the super leaky oil pan. Lots of sludge at the bottom, not surprised by how the PO treated this car. Took almost an hour to get the old cork gasket off, finally burned to off with my trusty little torch. Had a bolt that had broken off and managed to get that out. The cork gasket I ordered off of Amazon doesn't line up very well, so I think I will buy some ultra grey and try that. Still need to locate one bolt for the pan. No wonder why it leaked so much, probably hasn't been changed in 15 years, the gasket looked just like the valve covers that I replaced a few months ago.

Flyerpope Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I'm new to this message board, but super glad to be here! Also, super glad there's a spot for the "older" Subaru's! I have most recently removed the EA82T motor and trans from my 87 GL-10 wagon. "Why" you ask? Because, if you must know, I'm prepping it for an EJ20G and trans. I acquired these items from http://jdmorlandoinc.com/. Will post pics as i take them for all those interested! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92_rugby_subie Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Been awhile since Ive posted much done to Ned... Hes just been racking up the miles getting me from Point A to Point B. Now sitting at just over 197K (getting close to the 200 mark! -- at least on the odometer) I love working Saturdays at my job... I get to pull Ned into the warm garage... Start with this: and after my arm hurts like hell (one polish buff and then one wax buff) I get this: Could finally see myself in the paint... and it was quite soft. Im gonna order a clay bar kit, and a better orbital because the one we were gonna use just wasnt gonna do what we needed it to (works great on new paint, but needing to take 28 years out of the paint wasnt in its job description) Been doing a little bit of work on my 7th Subaru (if you count parts cars, otherwise shes number 6) Shes got some cool upgrades.... but needs more supporting mods. 319whp and 362 wtq with a Cold Air Intake, Blouch 2.5 dominator turbo (ball bearing), Turboxs intercooler, tein coilovers, xxr530 18X8.75, invidia catless downpipe, invidia N1 exhaust. I need to get the timing belt water pump done, ID1000 injectors, Perrin EBCS, DW300 fuel pump, catless uppipe and a mishimoto radiator in there soon.. my hope is for 365whp and 400wtq. But we will see. Visually I want a carbon fibre trunk with lip, rear diffuser, seibon cf hood (with bigger scoop) and possibly the roof wrapped. Ned will not be ignored though. After taxes Im putting an EJ22 in him... Might have to wait actually until Im daily driving the Rex (she is unnamed thus far) so Ned can be put under the knife for awhile without making work difficult 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spazomatic Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Ahh nice shots, so that's why your front passenger fender is buckled in! Theyve both been mangled and hammered back. Actually, the whole car is bent...had a "fell asleep at 50mph dukes of hazzard moment" a few years back. Hit a ditch, launched off of a driveway culvert...airborn for 28 feet! Still handles fine, so whatever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atleast with our Soobs we can just drag it back into to the garage and make em rise again lol A friend of mine a few years ago did the same, fell asleep on a cold morning on the way to Uni. Rear ended somebody in his TT It must have cost half the cars value to repair. ...going off topic a bit, that combined with the usual Audi headaches (electrical repairs and something else), he came so close to "totaling" his car in repairs. It added up to like $13k I'll stick with my Beataru haha!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82GLWag Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 just got 4 brand new KYB shocks for the 82 GL wagon. Is there anything els i should look for? any easy upgrades while im doing the shocks? The front shocks were pretty much completely blown so just the new ones alone are going to improve the ride a lot more. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrgrr Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 My first real attempt at bodywork, making a smooth hood. Took about 5 days keeping the garage/materials workable w/small salamander, (cough). Painted roof rails, too. Strut rod bushings, + a washer each side, a bit of pounding on the front flaps & fenders got the little bit of clearance I needed. Tweaked the alignment -running good and straight now. Weber swap went awesome -except the JBweld did not want to set up on the cold intake. Using the Transdapt -looks great! Someday warm I'll get the edges all smoothed out. Fortunately had a 'Y" fuel fitting from an old carb. Found the perfect little linkage piece in my scrap pile, too! Went for a test drive and immediately a guy in an older legacy wagon pulled up -said he'd never seen a 4wd before! So I tried to run him and ended up dumping it from 2nd into 5th kept up! -But it's been a Long time since I've gotten a ticket, so I backed off... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinky26 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Converted my rear brakes to disc this weekend. Seems like nothing ever goes like it should. Not enough hardware, should have checked that before I started the task then I didn't blow the crap out of the first caliper before I tried to pull fluid through , for me I guess this is what happens when being a shade tree mechanic...

rrgrr Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I'm Glad to Know that your Weber Swap went Good! Did you changed the main Jettings? Kind Regards. Didn't change -Mains are 140, Primary idle .060, secondary idle .050, Air corrector primary 170, secondary idle 160 -seems pretty good. Jeszek -I read where you made the a/c idle control work, but the angle is not happening. Got a pic of that? Is this worth messing with or should I get rid of it?
