you will have to change the whole bracketry that goes with. i have spares. let me round them up fo you. i have spare compressors also. dont let me forget the soap dispenser next time!!!

i found a local guy with 7 soobs, 5 of them need work. if i could make some quick 100 bucks, we will have eli's dad drive the van, put my car on the trailer. we will go to des moiunes and drop my car, and the van will take the sedan back to butler, we will continue on to the meet, and try to take the wagon back on the way home

im gonna have to pull this one off by the skin of my teeth. last week i realized that i cant afford to go. this weekend i came into some money to go. i have to be to court the following monday now all i got to do is re-coordinate with all those who thought we backed out. the plan is to come in a big red van and a trailer, but if worst comes to worst, we will come in a trashwagon six loaded down with parts for everybody. the boss may end up saving the day, lets see how this goes.............

either hub will bolt up to either rotor, but the spacing will be wrong. explore knuckle or strut swaps for this idea

ok if you were to hotwire the pump and it still runs, then the following quote below would be the problem. makes sense to me.

an ea82 will fit in there, and if you dont mind wiring, make it a turbo! ditch the auto and find your favorite 5spd. if its a full time or from a turbo, you will have to as everyone says make custom axles. or do an ea82 suspension conversion and use 25spline turbo axles. or even xt6 5 lugs and its axles.

yo tim, i scored the cash to take the van. sorry, cant leave a car at mcbrat, so we will have to leave the sedan if the turbo doesnt run. i'll call you from jim's

i may have a couple opf odd dookers for a carb. i have a crosspipe for archemitis. I'll just bring my whole stash and let you all fight over it!

sounds MAF related. unplug the wire to it and it will do what you describe. is the fuel pump coming on? my mpfi turbo will kick the relays, but no pump, i had to make a toggle switch. the problem is between the wiring between the relay and the pump

take the old belys with you to the parts store. there are tree different setup that i have seen. there is the round compressor with the alternator outboard there is the square compressor with the inboard alternator, and outboard alternator those models with the INBOARD alternator use both the SHORTEST and LONGEST belts of any setup

i used the pushbutto for 2 reasons. one, its convenient for use of the button between stretches of gravel and paved roads. two, i forgot to get the shifter linkage from tom when i picked up my parts! the xt's shifter was different, so i kinda had no choice to do different. but since you got one out of an ea82 body, i can agree with your shifter choice. and tom liked the xt shifter handle anyway, so i told him to keep it. good deal, i figured you woldnt have done all this without knowing if your parts matched to begin with. easy work for a 10 day deadline! i did all my ej motor and 5 lug/full time setup within a week, including the adapter plate fab.... just to have it sit with the ecu a rats nest. but i got the rx motor in the car so i can drive it, save the ej motor for an other adapter attampt, or for use with its automatic in a hatch and modified suspensions!!!

trashwagon SIX is back in full action. we are now poweredf by the recently acquired RX motor, carb bottom end and ported turbo heads. i used the cherrybomb exhaust from trashwagon 5 and put it on the down pipe. i had to connect the fuel pump tp a toggle, as the fuep pump circuit quit working after the first couple of times starting the car. the relays come on and all, so the problem is the wire between the relay and the pump. i am using an spfi fuel pump, it works good for driving, but sometimes it cant keep ip with HARD acceleration. i am running a single row radiatopr, i have a 2-row but it has no drain plug. the car has a tendenct yo get warm if it idles too long, or you try to do some donuts, but i never installed the clutch fan. it does fine for general driving this way. but i will put in the clutch fan as a failsafe. the only power and exhaust issues now are the exhaust gaskets at the heads, as they keep blowing out. this time i will double stack with new gaskets, and silicone. i will replace whatever studs if i can. i have 2 speaker boxes and 2 amps in back, a pair of 12's qith a 250 watt amp, and a pair of 15's(only one works) with a 4channel bridged 250 watt amp with built in crossover. i have a pre crossover and bass boost unit in line before both amps, the 12's are pushing the lowest vibes and the 15 hits all the percussion. i want it the other way around. all this is connected to the rear right speaker plug, and the high input for the xover inline unit. for a stereo i am using the stock cassette, and a tap3e adapter and a portable cd player. sounds pretty good. its not about the quality of the equipment but rather how its all set up. i got my neon light that bumps to the music. i mounted some blue lights for ambiant glow, one under the steering column and one IN the dash vent. i will put more under each door handle, and some ling ones under the kick panels in front, and under the front of the rear seats. this car is mostly complete, and more lights and a trailer hitch later, i will be re-working trashwagon 5. the 5spd transd works freat, the gears are spaced apart, but the 5th gear is fairly low with te 3.9 final gear. but the gearing will be right when i put on the xt6 wheels, right now i am using legacy 14's till i get the 4th xt tire mounted the 4wd conversion sedan will lend its axle one each to the 86 sedan(the subaru alliance vehicle) and the trashwagon 5. the rx now sits with no motor. i will use the RX body to mock up an ea82 standalone spfi, meaning that i have an spfi long block with carb heads, and an spfi intake, ecu, and coil, maf that will be designed to come out with the motor, for spfi conversion purposes. this setup will use the RX's fuel pump and fuel lines, and the pump will be on a toggle swith to override the disty output for the ecu

i put an ea81 in a 2wd 3spd ea82 car, and i had to grind away a lot more than yout typical 5spd setup. the motor was from a 2wd 5spd, noah's point ...

trashwagon 6 has a similar set up, tet me give you some heads up i used a 5spd full time single rance locking diff trans from an XT6. mine from the XT6 is a 3.900 final gear. did your trans come from a turbo? if so you are good to go. if it came from an xt6 you will need the THREE-NINE diff i used the pushbutton 4wd shifter on the full time trans, i had to slot the mounting holes slightly. but everything else hooks up here is the charm with the shifter, the 4wd button and all its workings hooks up the same with te full time tranny, so now my shifter button works as the diff lock. all the driveshaft, clutch and flywheels from the pushbutton tranny works with the full-time the axles will be 25 spline if the trans is from the xt6, i dont know of any 23 spline full time trannies, they are all 25 splines that i know. all 3spd turbo trannies are TWENTY-THREE splines

remove the rear axles. the axles have roll pins on each end, drop the diff for room to take them out. once the axle is out, the axle shaft can be knocked out tin the same manner as the front axle. once that is out, the front bearing can be driven out with a hammer and a punch, or fat socket. the inner side needs a special tool, to remove the retainer, and them punch the bearing out from the front side. i recommend replacing the seals, as most bearings only fail when the seals fail. i cant tell you where to find a special tool, so that should be your next question

i have still arranged with mcbrat for all fo that. i can have the van and trailer lined up. what i was going to do is have you send a money order to the guy with the 2 soobs. i have his phone number in my car still. i will have to give that to you. the only thing i am not certain of is having the gas money to go, since i havent worked or made no money, and i by myself cant come up with 200 bucks. call the office first chance yu get. i will have to find you phone number in my contact list..

i have a pair of ea82 fenders, ea81 fendrs(1982) multiple headlight and taillights for sedans and wagons, ea81. i have a few ea81 bezels and a tiallight for a wagon, passenger side. i got many ea82 pieces, like cam towers, lifters, timing belt pulleys, timing belt covers. i also have an ea82 wagon bumper available, lt blue, front

I got an 86 sedan for doing a timing belt job, carb 130k. Myoss Feece and i have made the deal: I will trade the sedan, complete with motor and axles, to myoss feece title for title for the 2wd to 4wd conversion sedan, less its motor, and the RX motor. so now i have a TURBO motor for trashwagon 6, trashwagon 5 runs and drives, and myoss feece has a car to drive. since the sedan will have no motor(its going in a loyale) i will put in one of my long blocks, and use the car as a test bed for a standalone spfi unit that willo make its way into an ea81 gl-10 nsedan if i were to get it the rx crapped out due to an electrical problem, as it popped the fusible link. the motor works in my car, so the problem is in the RX harness. sp far we are on a roll, all of our soobs now will run. we have another soob, are getting another soob from WV, and hopefully the 2 in iowa. soon i can start up the TRASHWAGON MUSEUM

mcbrat is correct, but an ea81 pipe is too short to clear the crossmember on an ea82 body.

i got one. if you can make it to the alliance meet on memorial weekend, i will give it to you. i can bring it out to columbus or morgantown WV if you can get it from there.

i am also planning to come to the midwest meet. i am trying to line up the van and trailer, to get those 2 soobs in des moines. all i need to do is save 200 bucks for gas. we plan to trailer both soos to mcbrat's, try to get the one running, and drive it while towing the other. if it wont run, we wil leave it behind and come back for it soon later

baja'n thru CORN STALKS all day long, open belts, no problema, after returning from a 4500 mile trip with used belts. i say chuck them if you plan on doin any more work to the car in the future

a 3spd auto will fit the same. one xt we had we converted it from 4wd to FWD, to do the convert, get the flexplate, torque converter, and tranny crossmember. anyone on their day off would gladly chuck you an AT for your manual tranny, see if anyone will trade!

you can put an ea82 crosspipe and turbo on the ea81, start from there!

ball joints, ball joints! if the bearings dont make noise, that is it. watch for rattling noises going over bumps and potholes
