yet another victim of "boost creeping" .... Had the (embarassed giggle) exhaust leak fixed last week (looks to Calebz and Okami down in Denton) - yeah that slight exhaust leak sound we heard from Silver D/Ragon... well the plate the turbo mounted to had com completely seperated from the uppipe but, the surrounding heatshield and the factory clamping points kept the tubo to the exhaust and it still had boost albeing only up to about 7PSI (thanks to the gauge) anywho went out to do a few errands and the nice long 3+mile straightaway I desided to do a few "drop to 4th" and gun-it's..... watched the gauge go right to 7-8 then start slowly climbing higher and higher... then at about 82MPH the 12PSI line was crossed and WHAM! the ECU did its fuel cut... wow was it harsh... just like the ignition was killed for a split second. So I did it a few more times to "really make sure it was boost creeping and hitting that cut-off... yuppers just , and i mean *just* above 12PSI and it hits hard...... needless to say I have yet to install the MBC sitting in the passenger seat yet..... funny how 2.5 pipe from the turbo back with that 3-way cat are appearantly too much flow for the VF4? stock turbo..... looks like I should be saving up the nickels and dimes for a (thanks to Deniis's tinkering and advice - the most recently) looking for a VF-10 or 11 or maybe a VF-28 or 30????? but aside from that... I'll keep track of the data on this end and keep ya posted... i hope as good as you guys are doing....

yeah yeah yeah... so i took my time....sorry. but here is the listings of GTS headlight covers and the "kit" for what its worth... they gave all needed info except the tinted or clear answer for your eddification... soooo without further bable: http://www.gtstyling.com/view_products.cfm G.T.Styling Warranty Information: (714) 630-6561 General Information: (714) 632-1709 There are 3 product(s) that match "Headlight Covers" for a "Subaru Gl-10". 72-89 Subaru Gl 85-89 Subaru Gl-10 90-94 Subaru Loyale 90 Subaru LoyaleRS 85-91 Subaru XtGL 85-88 Subaru XtDL 85-87 Subaru XtGl-10 88-91 Subaru Xt6 86-89 Subaru Rx - The Mask Universal Headlight Cover Styling Kit PartNo: 99350 85-88 Subaru Gl-10 85-88 Subaru Gl 90-93 Subaru Loyale 90-92 Subaru Loyale 85-88 Subaru XtDL 85-88 Subaru XtGL 85-87 Subaru XtGl-10 88 Subaru Xt6 86-88 Subaru Rx - Headlight Cover PartNo: GT0750 85-89 Subaru Gl-10 83-89 Subaru Gl 90 Subaru LoyaleRS 90 Subaru LoyaleRS 85-88 Subaru XtDL 85-91 Subaru XtGL 85-87 Subaru XtGl-10 88-91 Subaru Xt6 86-89 Subaru Rx - Headlight Cover PartNo: GT0751

xt6, GL-10 = 2 yes 1988 m/y GL-10 = 1 yes 1987 m/y

just in case..... i thought i sent you a PM about the info *I found out* for ya. Granted it will probably be a few more weeks considering the guy is kindly offered to use his film camera take pictures and send them to me snailmail for free then i can scan them for ya as posting them in a album is faster then snail mailing to ya from here after the wait from his house in south-central Michigan :>) Skipper I really like that "pair of old lawn tractor blades" makes me want to tinker and have then both sit on a swivle arm and allow for either side to rotate out for a few set pin holes of say...20 degrees arc each....

This just rocks totally cool! Have a wonderful visit y'all :>)

utterly sheewwweeeettt! nuff said.

See, size *Does* matter and I too am 6'2" and a paultry(sp) 175 lbs. my old GL wagon I'd hit the ceiling in occasionally, but the GL-10's sunroof allows for me to feel a little more headroom :>)

depending on how the new "job" works out....... It is a slight possibilty that I might beable to make a "driveby hello" or even a dedicated visit..........

awesome and super slick y'all!!!!!

that file sounds like a engine with new heads(or a new headgasket job and has grease on the rocker arms and cam serfaces to serve till the oil PSI is properly coating it all. reason for saying this? IT's what mine have all sounded like till the Moly-B grease I coated the surfaces with would wash off and tthen it's get all quiet and smooth sounding..... just my experience thats all.

"4WD Turbo" rear sticker..... when you(Corky and TEX) get together and make up some rear ones.... add me to the list (shrugs)

you got mail!

the dipstick is on the pass side underneath the spare tire support BUT, you can get to it without removing the sparetire holder... you will have to take the spare tire out. the dipstick is almost exactly parallel with the engine oil dipstick up front too. should be within about 5 or 6 inches of the passenger side bolt that holds the engine and tranny together. make sure your on reasonably level ground and the engine is OFF... its not an automatic so it has to be off to read the dipstick correctly... Just like the engine oil checking. as for the clicking, whirrrrrring, CLUNKing, tapping, clinking or what ever phonetic attempt at spelling the sounds I think your ears can help you spell out *WHAT* a Wwrrrrrrrr sound is as aposed to a (high-pitched helium inhailing voice)"clink" sound.... dare I guess that made sense to ya? I'm not trying to be disrespectful at all, just trying to find some common ground to offer help via the electronic fronteer... ya hear me? (thinks to self, "Man I hope I didn't just set myself up for sarcastic jokes later. I do that enough without trying even.")

is it shifting smoothly into every gear? does the gear shift vibrate or ratle excessively (think common sense here) in any of the gears or is it fade in and out of noise making? Does it hold its fluid? have you checked it(does it leave stains on the ground?)

your funny!

welll GD I disagree on the need's and "*can*" factors but, hey its all good. that said I'm goin to bed now... good night and good luck(as always)

but.... we don't know... 1. did he use an engine hoist? and does he have use of it now - for this event? 2. garage space and temp control environment for cold ground (IE cardboard and a blanket for distance from cold cement) 3. which is this person *More comfy with*? as well?

DUDE... there have been two or three Very impressively documented (with pictures even) recent rebuilds in here....... the threads are during the last 6 months and all 3 or 4 have at least 15 replies to them.....(conservative estimate) just a suggestion yo! (gives a thumbs up just like "buddy christ"

use a jack to support the tranny and do a tranny drop..... the DOJ pins; the bolts and stud'd nuts that atach to the engine; the rear shaft's carrier barring support's 2 bolts; the tranny support bar's bolts; the two 8mm nuts on the clutch cable and the HH unit; the speedo cable at the speedo(easier to pop it off then unscrew it from the tranny...... JUST WATCHOUT for the gearlube dripping out the tail of it tipps to far aft! did I forget anything?

use rain-X... I've been using it for welll over a decade and enjoy its easy removal of ice on the windshields.

so with the aftermarket systems and the turbo (VF4 or VF/VJ 11) does this mean we could rationally see 30-38 mpg with this beastie with out a truckload of R&D?

the voltage across the board to each of the solenoids is like 5 volts and the relays are between 2 and 10 volts IIRC back when i was doing ALOT of studying of this system and figuring out the wiring.... last summer i had figured out that with the help of a classmate/friend/grad student (he has keys to lab) we would of been able to make a "override board" that would use its own IC chips to allow for manual setting of the struts based on PSI as the known limits (upper) is something like 175PSI..... and then we'd have 2 guages with a L/R over it and be able to switch between front and rear viewing on each guage. anywho..... that way we wouldn't be frying the main Height control unit...we would of had a "dumb" curcuit making the brain "think it was set at normal level" and the compressor was also part of this override board's controls.

"That is ONE hose" LOL

is *THIS* what your aiming for? simple drawn over photo in engine bay: http://usmb.net/gallery/albuo61 goto bottom of album. or, maybe this works for the picture ID directly? maybe? http://usmb.net/gallery/albuo61/test_2a_030

as you may have seen in the other thread of my posting link to one of my albums for FSM pictures, unfortuneately the quyality of the pictures is not awesome and as such I can't get the sharpness highenough for the MANY lines of the wiring diagram and the pinouts also seems to blur "just enough" to make it a serious teaser to see those details..... I'm gonna try it one more time for this thread and show proof of the camera's limitations. sorry to figure this out and reply so late.....
