Not really sure where to post this because it would be going in a EA82 body. I got to thinking, would it be possible to make a EJ22 run without an ECU if you wired the fuel injectors in with a resistor to the spark plug wires. With Constant power to the coil/coil pack, so it would have spark on its own and would still work via a distributor somehow rigged up. The wires would run a cylinder ahead of the spark. Like It would start like this Plug wire #1 - resistor to fuel injector 3 Plug Wire #3 - resistor to fuel injector 2 Plug Wire #2 - resistor to fuel injector 4 Plug Wire #4 - resistor to fuel injector 1 So when the 1 cylinder sparked, it would blow fuel to 3 cylinder (the next in the firing order) 3 would spark sending fuel to 2 cylinder.. Prolly not possible, but I thought I'd throw the idea out there

well I finally got my second '86 wagon runnin right. Swapped out the carbs from a new remanufactured carb to the OEM one that came on my 86 wagon. Amazing that a carb thats 20 years old, will run better than a reman. after I got it running I let it run for 10 minutes, came out and the cat at the Y pipe was starting to glow red. I changed out the back half of the exhuast. Its getting pretty decent flow blowing out at the mid pipe flange and out the tail pipe. Why is my cat glowing? partially plugged? I'm going to make an attempt to pass the emissions test up here with a stripped carb.. shall prove interesting... its going to run off straight red HEET for the test to get the numbers down.

thanks guys for the responses. if that wasn't hooked up right, would it make the turbo heat up (Glow red)

I'm gonna hijack this..... So will Legacy struts and spindles work on a EA82? I realize the axles are different sizes and what not, but there has to be a way. I have a clean Legacy front clip at the shop (Hit very hard in the rear end) and I'd love to have that 5 lug setup on my wagon with some Outback sized tires on it...

I'm prolly gonna catch some crap for sayin this, but not many can change a tire..

4/4 for a EA82!!!! I want one. Mudrat and PK should do business in parallel. It'd work out good for us Alaska guys to have a kit thats made and can be shipped from a place a lil farther north then California (I think thats where it was supposed to be sent from when I was looking at lifts) It'd prolly save 50 bucks in shipping just being one state farther north. What size tires can be run with this 4/4 lift? Without cutting fenders

hey I'm back at work on the devil of a turbo wagon. Got some vacumn lines unplugged. They are coming from the module bolted to the front of the passenger side strut tower. Two of the lines are going somewhere, but there are two that are loose. and then there is one vacumn line off the intake thats open. What is the module bolted to the strut tower? its kinda sandwiched in-between the airbox/MAF and the tower

this happened on my wagon. it ended up being a cracked fuel line right next to one of the clamps. start the car, get it hot and start wigglin fuel lines.. you should see it spray out somewhere. if its SPFI, be careful because there is 60 PSI of fuel pressure in the lines. hope this helps.

its most likely the hoses goin to the firewall from the engine. They are routed close to the clutch arm, so they are prone to leaking due to rubbing on the arm. top off with coolant, start the car, let it get warm. get a flashlight and look aroumd the coolant hoses, pull on them to flex the hose. This will help open the leak so you can see where its coming from. Careful not to get antifreeze in your eyes from the spray.. IT hurts

Wanna do me a favor and check all the XT turbos for 3.7 LSD rear end? If so, pull it apart and get me the LSD carrier...

John - I just added the write up to the USRM - Repair and Mod section. Since you wrote it, I just posted it, Your name is on the write up

yeah there is still a lathrop highschool.. They got decent sports teams this year... Anyways, front swaybar helped understeer on gravel, and gave me prolly an inch of travel in the front. The swaybar keeps the control arms and struts linked together. with out the sway bar, its completely independent from end.

well I did the carb fuel pressure test.. fuel comes out when you crank on it with the fuel line disconnected. What about theh float test kelly? how do I do it I reset the timing as soon as I got the engine. would it being too retarted make it not rev out?

So I bought another 86 GL wagon carb'd for 250 bucks Got the thing running, but it runs really rough. ITs got a remanufactured carb on it. kid musta just put it on, till shiny. I found he hooked up one of the vacumn lines into the carb so it was sucking all the fuel out of the carb. He also had the choke spring on the wrong side of the choke, so when you hit the gas, the choke acutally closed instead of opening. The kid also had the idle mixture screw turned all the way in. How many turns out should it be at? I set it at 1 1/2 turns out. Had a plugged 2nd cat, so I unhooked the exhuast at the tranny. It still running rough. It wont rev past 3 grand, and when you really stomp on it, it feels like its running out of fuel. it start to stumble really bad. Its got a clean filter on it. The kid had the filter off and the pump unbolted cuz he thought his pump was bad, when it was really just a frozen fuel line cuz he got a batch of bad gas. So what I did to it was temporarily plugged all the vacumn lines so its just like my carb'd EA82, and it still wont REv like it should. driving it, it seriously lacks get up and go. I seafoamed the carb today, and it seemed to help a little bit. Anyone have any ideas on things to check or what may be going on? I'd like to get rid of this thing soon so I can pay my rent, so I'm going all out to get it running good.

you are running an EA82 in an airplane? You got balls of steel man. thats crazy.. keep an eye on those timing belts..

there is two bolts holding it down.. loosen them slightly. turn the disty counterclock wise to retard the timing. this will fix your pinging problem

Man I'd love to attend. It'd be awesome if it was around the time of WCSS7. I'm trying to plan out a rally race from Fairbanks to circle via the historical trail for next fall..

Yes the EJ22 is 12 mm shorter then the EA82. Therefore the adapter is 12 mm thick. 85sub4wd - prolly the Gen 2 EJ22s have the stuff you are talking about

get JL Audio W7 12" and a 10" get seperate boxes and you put the 10 in the back on the drivers side. the 12 inch goes on the passenger side to equal out the pounding. Now get a 1000 watt Kicker or Rockford Fosgate Amp

You're the man miles. thanks for the quick reply goin to get parts..

yeah it happens to any oil that gets pumped or circulated. If you've used Lucas Oil stabilizer any time in that oil or in the previous oil thats why theres the bubbles.

goddamn that looks like fun. I'm thinking about setting up a rally race up here. we have this trail called the Fairbanks to Circle historical trail. Its like 50 or 60 miles long, crosses 3 mountains. If I end up doing it, its going to be a N/A race. No turbos (so I can have a chance) If anyone is interested in settin this race up, let me know

Alright, well my roommate bought my 85 brat from me. Hes rallyied the hell out of it. Driving home last night the back drivers side tire locked up. he limped it home and after looking today, the wheelbearing looks shot cause thehh axle output shaft is sitting sorta sideways going into the control arm my question is will any EA81 rear axle fit on the brat? or what about EA82 rear axles? they are both 3.9 rear diffs so I dont see why it wouldnt fit. The biggest problem is that I'm having to drive him to work now at 7 am (I dont goto work until 1 pm) I need to get this fixed. So if the axles will work off an 84 wagon, I'm gonna bust off the whole assembly and just put the axle and control arm on together. What you guys think Thanks in advance for who ever answers

The mud is worse.... expecially if you gotta jack the car up.. wow -45 F this morning and I gotta go get my roomates brat to start..
