legacy stereo into loyale
john in KY replied to The Scooby's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Problem you will run into is the depth of the radio. Used a radio from a 3000GT (Mitsubishi) in my old Loyale for several years but had to find "spacers" to mount it. just can't flush mount just about any factory radio because whatever you use will hit the duct work in the dash. -
need a little help, 89 XT turbo
john in KY replied to one eye's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Pull the vacuum line to the FPR the next time you get it run and check for a leak. Also verify with your ear all the injectors are at least clicking. -

EJ22 wiring harness fun
john in KY replied to Subaru_dude's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Could be wrong but the letters identify the individual plugs and the numbers identify which pin in the plug. For example, say you had a plug with 4 pins/wires. Each wire/pin could be identified as A1 A2, A3 and A4. Only real concern is first identiying if the individaul pins are numbered left to right or right to left. -

Injectors from a 260Z Nissan are quite an upgrade for the EA82T. John -
L/F: XT drivers window
john in KY replied to SmashedGlass's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I can recall 10 to 12 years ago the windshield for the XT6 would set you back $1200. And the tint isn't external. Sort of makes everything look slightly brown viewed from inside the car. -

Always been my understanding all the XT6s got the gold tint and only the XT6s. XTs got something else. -
92' Loyale 4WD AT tranny swap question
john in KY replied to Slagathor1's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I did the 4EAT conversion once. Only real problem was swapping the internal wiring harness which was a real pita. Never did the 3-speed conversion but it has no electronics and should be a very easy conversion. -
92' Loyale 4WD AT tranny swap question
john in KY replied to Slagathor1's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
As for the Loyale models, only the 1990 Loyale turbo option got the 4EAT. 1988 and newer XTs came with it and 88/89 GL turbo wagons also got it. The original poster doesn't have one of these models so both transmissions are the 3-speed variety. No problem swapping one for the other. -
Hello an Help Requqest!
john in KY replied to SubaruZach's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
If you only hear that clicking sound when the car is in motion, suspect the CV axle you repaired. -
I still think you have an AFM problem. PM Gary as he knows which ECUs swap.
-
The XT6 and Legacy both use the same front wheel bearings. As for the front CV axles, the XT6 axles are actually significantly larger then the Legacy turbo axles so don't be concerned about XT6 front components.

ea82 rear wheel bearing removal HELP
john in KY replied to subaruguru's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Drum will probably never come off until you back off the shoes. Look for a slot on the backside of the brakes and use a screwdriver to back off the adjustor inside the brake drum. -
Hydrolocked?

15 pounds is pushing the envelope but I ran 12-13 pounds in my old turbo wagon for 4 years with no problems. Ran 15 pounds for a few days but the engine pinged under load and I could tell by the deposits on the spark plugs the tops of the pistons were melting.

I recall reading that post around 10 years ago. The car and owner are probably both history now.

Recall reading an article years ago that dealt with modifying this type. The car was a VW with a Bosch airflow meter. Author claimed reducing the tension of the flapper spring, along with a few other modifications, produced enough HP the engine ripped the engine mounts. I never could grasp how modifying the flapper so that it opened quicker could produce any appriciable HP gain.

Found no ohm value for the CAS. Just a LED shining through 360 slots. Guessing it either works or doesn't. CTS: Test in water and the first test has me puzzled. @ 14F---7-11.5 kilo ohms. (How do you get water to 14F?) @ 68F---2-3 kilo ohms @ 122F--700-1000 ohms Edit: Just ralized you have an XT. Specs I provided are for the XT6. Probably the same. Air valve: YR wire goes to terminal #1 BW wire goes to terminal #2 YL wire goes to terminal #3 Between terminals 1 and 2---9.5 to 11.5 Between terminals 2 and 3---8.5 to 10.5 Between terminal 2 and the metal housing of the sensor--infinity. If you need another distributor, ECU and/or have any interest in an incomplete set of 1988 XT6 FSMs, missing chapter 1. PM me. John Edit #2. Ignore the above because what I have is for the XT6. A bad airflow meter will cause most of the problems you have described.
