  1. i hear that the intakes can be bolted on 180 also. legos is right
  2. is trashwagon 5 done? i dont know. now its an excuse for a 2-door wagon. maybe i'll put the motor in the RX and call it a trash 3-door.
  3. do you have spark? the coil and the fuel pump work from a signal from the distributor. plug the green test clips under the dash together, and the fuel pump will cycle on and off, the coolant temp sensor for the ecu is a common nuisance, i have seen one for 17 bucks it was labelled a nissan part
  4. tom i got your beer:drunk: if you cant make it sunday how about monday? i'll go ahead and order the intake gasket for you.
  5. considering the motor has been swapped, it could have had timing belts installed, or front seal that would require taking the belts off, and its possible the mechanic lined up the belts wrong. how many times has a subaru broken a timing belt, to have some mechanic install new ones and tell you the car has bent valves and wont run right because he aligned both cams at 12:00 and the crank at 0 deg. you should check out the belt timing following this procedure http://www.warpthree.com/milesfox/subaru/service/timingbelt.htm
  6. 33 will take you to 127 to go north. which way did tom say to go? he said he will meet you near bryan oh, on us6 as 127, about 20 min away.
  7. i have seen the 23 spline turbo axle, it has 3 bands and comes with 3AT turbo. its fatter around like the xt. so does this meen that turbo 25 spline doj and xt6 doj are the same also? i asked about 23 spline doj from turbo axles on legacy axles before, but no one knew. is it a secret?
  8. trust me the way i explained is the best way to go, as i have singled out these routes from multiple trips and multiple ways of going, i just say have a map so you can relate to the directions visually. i guess if you are meeting tom, just use my directions to van wert and 127 n. to bryan ohio. us6 goes to butler about 15 mi from there.
  9. oops my bad. maybe i should have responded to the other post instead!
  10. well there you go, that proves my theory. 5 lugs with a dual range was the idea were the doj's off a 3spd auto TURBO?
  11. find the thermoswitch on the radiator, then the blue clip it plugs into. those are the wires you wnt to short, or anywhere else in the schematic for the same wires. this is what we did to the rx, using speaker wire to a toggle in the car. on the trashwagon, i made a temporary fix bt jumping a wore from the yellow wire to the body, to gound out the fan and turn it on. and this way the fan goes off with the key. you may have read the arguement but what my example was is the same thing you are asking about.
  12. get behind it with a hammer and smack it in an upward motion agianst the mounting tabs, be careful, itsd aluminum, ise a plastic hammer or a rubber mallet. a regular hammer can do if youre not destructive with it. it will pop out after a good whacking, as the o-ring wont let go without force
  13. http://www.warpthree.com/milesfox/subaru/service/glossary.htm try this again...or go to my website and look under subaru service in the top frame... the turbo and 4wd axles are the same diameter, so yu should be able to swap the doj and the bearing race for your 25 splined i myself have put a 25 spline turbo doj on a 2wd axle, it had exfessive play, but it worked. not recommended as a mod, but it will work as a fix. but i think the 25 spline doj will fit on the 4wd axle, try ity out and let me know. i have always wanted to put a 23 spline turbo doj on a legact axle to use a dual range with 5lugs
  14. one end the hole for the pin is farther back. one end will be slightly tapered, that will be the outer end
  15. http://www.warpthree.com/milesfox/subaru/service/glossary.html there is the link to the Glossary of Terms on my website, this will cover the axle splne counts and which trannies a dual range will bolt right in place of the pushbutton 5spd. the tranny mounts, clutch/flywheel, and driveshaft al fit the same you will need to swap the axles from the 85 to go with the dual range ALL 5spd non turbo trannies are 235 splines. all TURBOP and FULLTIME 5 spds are 25 spline. all 3spd autos, including turbo, are 23 spline. all full time 4spd autos are 25 splines. all ea81 are 23 splines all rear axles for any ea model are 23 splines the 85 front struts are height adjustable, if you want to swap those, swap the strut/knuckle/brake/axle as one unit. this will save you from having to pop the axles out of theit bearings. do it like this: pop the axle pins out. pop the ball joint and tie rods. undo the rubber brake line from the body end. disconnect the parking brake cable. unbolt the 3 nuts on the strut cap. swap away keep in mind you will have to swap the 3.9 rear diff over with the dual range. you said the gl-10 turbo wagon is an 89, it may have an lsd as standard option, but it will be a 3.7 the shifter4 console plate is the only thing interiorwise that needs swapped. the console itself will accept any console palte. the hole for the shifter will be thge same alsi. the only issue you will have is the wiring for the 4wd display and reverse lights, but you can either splice the wires or go the simple route and make a toggle for the reverse lights(fog lights in the rear!)
  16. changing to 5 lugs will give you better tire and wheel options. you can go with any impreza and legact 14 inch rims and bigger
  17. its best to remove the fender first to get to the door hinge bolys. you will see where its painted to line it back up when you put the door on. any wiring to the door will connect behind the kiclk panel near the floor. it just pops up, and you will see a green, white and pink connectors. the pink will be for power windows, the white one will be for the speaker there are 2 10mm nuts behind the bumper trim to remove the fender
  18. sounds like a plan. i still have all the valve parts and those heads, pick thru them and take what u need. oh yeah, i got the internet at HOME now, so i will try to keep my yahoo messenger on when im online, and the phone lines open when im not on. trogdor! do you plan on staying the night saturday also? we plan on baja'n, at the meet saturday i will put a new axle on zanny dooks sedan, take his used one to replace the broken axle in trashwagon, and use my bad on as the core. so we will have a 4wd trashwagon, the 4wd conversion sedan, to go baja'n with. josh says he will baja the red wagon ur bringin' trashwagon 6 may be down for a lap, but she will have a tendency to get hot. anyway, 3 vehicles for sure to baja. i told all the girls to find a slumber party for t6he weekend to make room at my place. we cqan either camp at the carbola, or crash at the apartment. my place is welcome for showers and ec. but dont mind the bathroom floor may be wet cause the toilet tank leaks. for sleeping arrangement i have my bed that i will give up to a sleeping pair"girlfriends and such), or i have a futon mattress on the floor. i also have the couch, and a carpeted subaru headliner for sleeping arrangement.
  19. get a cell phone or calling card maybe, if u get lost or confused, call my HOUSE (260) 868-5795 let me know what time you guys head out, so i know when to expect you or to be near a phone in the day call the office, as i will be at the carbola all day, (260) 868-5006 josh: (260) 908-1258
  20. http://www.warpthree.com/milesfox/subaru/swapmeet.htm i am going to tell you how to get there like i would go, this way will bring you past alleyboy and jim wood. take i-70 WEST from morgantown area thru columbus ohio. once you make way thru c-bus, take exit 80 to MECHANICSBURG, ohio route 29 north. stay on 29 n to URBANA once in urbana 29 will split off to US 36 WEST. take us 36 w to PIQUA. in piqua is i-75 north, get on that and take it to exit 110, wapakoneta. this will be ohio state rout 29 west again. takw 29 to st mary's. 29 will enter st mary's at a t intersecton, go left. you will pass a wally smidt auto and a gas station. go into the downtown. you will see signs for 66 north, follow that out to the north end of town, you will see signs for columbus ohio, us 33. therte is a shell station near the interchange. find the us 33 WEST, towards fort wayne, in. it will be 4 lanes for a little, and then it splits off. if you miss it, you will be on 29 to celina. if you cant find the us 33 interchange, you can just stay on 29 thru town on to celina, just more downtown traffic that way. anyway, take 33 west till you get to us route 127 north. 127 also comes from celina if you went that way. take 127 north to van wert, go all thru town, once you make your wat thru the north end, you will see an interchange for us30 west. the interchange is on by a BP station, bp on the left, the interchange on the right. make sure to pay attention to the signs or you will miss the road. the interchange will do a long sweeping loop to the right to meet westbound traffic. stay on us 30 west to the indiana line. *****if you stay on 127 and dont get on us 30, 127 will take you to us 6, which goes west to butler**** ok, coming from us30 you will cross the indiana line. just before tyhe lign you will see a sign for ohio route 49, after you pass the line be on the lookout for a flashing yellow light, this is indiana state road 101. turn right and take 101 north straight to butler. 101 is about 5 miles past the state line, it will take you thru woodburn, it jogs a little in town so watch the signs after woodburn you will cross us 24 and state road 37. keep going. eventually you will cross a set of railroad tracks by a steel joist plant(nucor/vulcraft) ...(if you turn left there is our baja pit 1/2 mile)....cross the tracks and keep going straight. you will cross state road 8, and after you cross 101 turns into st rd 1. st rd 1 goes all the way to butler 7 miles. once you enter butler you will pass a trailer court, a school under construction, speed zone...there are 2 sets of rr tracks. immediately across the 2nd rr you will see the carbola to the left, either go in thru the city maintenence lane, or on depot st immediately thereafter. if you not turn left to go to the carbola, go straight thru the stoplight, and there is my place on the left corner, far side of the building is my door. i am above the old "maintenance on wheels" off ice, which has newspaper in the window. go in the door, up the stairs, i am the door on the left. if you have a hard time just look for a subaru and chase it down, since we are the only soobs in town. may i siggest having an atlas or at least an ohio map for the ohio portin. i figure 3 hrs to columbus, and about 4 hrs from there. all in all 6 hours can be made according to how you pace yourselves. you sould be able to make 90% at least of the distance from trogdor on one full tank. you could simply take 70 thru dayton, or even to indy, but i highly not recommend that as it will add HOURS to your driving time. the trickiest part will be from sidney to van wert, but it will save you miles and gas. just make sure to pay attenton to signs, as ohio roads like to jog around in small towns, or up and change at intersections. it is possible to trave on 3 different highways going down the same stretch of road if you didnt watch the signs.
  21. it took about 10 minutes to take it off, to realize i packed a rear spare axle with its stub shaft. but it took all day to get an axle hitch hiking to the junkyard. got it all togwther in about 10 minutes after that. but we still made it from wisconsin
  22. you can install a whole 4wd rear end minus the diff and the axles. the rear axles have a doj on both ends, woth roll pins, and are removable from BOTH ends. and besides, you will be set up for a full 4wd conversion option., or you can swap just the disc/trailing arm combo. they bolt the same as any ea81 or ea82 brake system
  23. dont forget the subaru alliance and the swap meet. road trips, trashwagons!
