No Crank No Start unless I jump from solenoid?
MilesFox replied to sregor13's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
hjow did you hook up thge pushbutton? ypu will want your wire to come from +12v to the switch, and then from the switch to the starter from what i read you connected a wire from the starter to the switch to ground? you can use the fuse panel for 12v+ from the accessory and run pos, so the starter works only with the key on -
both of these cars are 3spd autos. this is a rare model are they mpfi or carbureted. you found yourself a good score the 4wd tranny will bolt on exactly the same, same torque converter, bolt pattern and mounts, shifter. you will want the button and handle from the 4wd handle and may have to make a wire for the switch the entire rear suspension will have to be swapped out, as the main portion of the assembly has the differential mount. other than that, the trailing arms(hubs) and diff will have to be swapped over, along with axles you will have to swap the gas tank as well becuse it has an indentation for the rear diff once you get the rear end in the driveshaft will go between

i personally would go with the ea82 myself. since you have the parts source and plan to so spfi swap might as well have the motor and all plug and play to it. spfi on ea82 requires disty mods and the ea81 carburetor, if not going with the spfi, will bolt onto the ea82 motor(the intake assembly) the ea82 gets more revs than ea81, the ea82 trasmission is geared appropriately for it. the only modification to make with the ea82 motor is to move the hill holder back a litt,e, and install the motor first, then the distributor so you can clear the master cylinder relocate the coil to the other side, use ea82 battery cables to relocate the battery to the othe side, if you wish. but you will have to remove the jack mount make a carrier bearing mount and the ea82 driveshft will be the right length for the tranny and the car going into

how did you deduce the heads are cracked? let me guess, non turbo, popped a head gasket. took off the heads and behold, the infamous crack between the valves. those cracks are normal, heads are likely good cracked heads in the true sense would be cracks in the exhaust port, engine runs fine but loses coolant out the exhaust get a set of head gaskets and be good to go

it's still a subaru board. well, someone should know about an ecu. afterall, what do they think thir car engineered from? going to the old school side is the same as going to usmb. so there are other expertise in the other forums as well. its easier buy a car than put one together with someone elses money its all hype from what i have experienced there. have fun! -

i work at u-haul and we service propane. this lady rols up in a cavalier and she goes to ppen what i thought was the trunk for her cylinder but she popped the gas cap. filled up with propane. it had an evaporayot/mix unit on the intake tube where the MAF would be, and a generic round air filter. the engine itself still had the fuel rails for gas. anyway we had the right fittings so it tool 10 gallons of propane (opd valve and all)

ECU interchangeability/manual to auto/question
MilesFox replied to Petersubaru's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
swapping an ecu from am at to a maunual body, the ecu will recognize itself as an MT, as its connected to the MT's harness which will ground it appropriately and have no need for the inhibitor circuits -

5speed d/r swap question....
MilesFox replied to Beegeer's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
all ea82 flywheel clutch setups are the same for 5spd 4wd. so a pushbutton 5spd clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, and driveshaft(you will need a driveshaft) will all fit the same -
Disk Brake Conversion questions, 87 Hatch
MilesFox replied to freedster's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
1. not without lower control arm modifications, or without a ea82 strut conversion(drilled strut tower or modified strut cap) and custom axles(ea81 length with ea82/xt6 ends) 1. it can be done with the right combination of stock parts 1. the axle is the key to this conversion, should someone match the right combination of axle parts
