pvc rerouting, with custom cleaner?`
MilesFox replied to archemitis's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
as long as it vents the crank case. blowby gasses will cause acids and sludge to form in the oil over time you will need to route at least one valve cover to the pcv valve (on the ontake) -
you should be able to swap a doj onto a TURBO ea81 axle, if the axle diameter and race are the same size i can fit a 25spline doj onto a 2wd axle, but it has a lot of play. it works for a get me by, but i dont recommed running with it other than that, swapping rx tranny is the same as 5spd. but you will have to figure out the diff lock system I am assuming the RX has 23 splines in the rear you can also do the ea82 front lower control arm if you want to use ea82 axles, like in my trashwagon5 and rguyver's hatch

MilesFox replied to archemitis's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
it runs to the air cleaner to keep emissions from escaping into the air. having it to the air cleaner helps to suck it out of the crank case, but not all that necessary -

dont forget to swap over the airbox on the carb fuel system: replace the rear filter and pump with the spfi pump Replace the filter under the hood with the canister fuel injection type filter.. the line from the filter will connect to the bottom nipple on the spfi throttle body. the return line will go to the top nipple on the throttle body. the vent line from the top of the carb fuel filter will go to a vac steel line that sticks up at a 45 drg angle on the back of the manifold. this line goes to the charcoal canister ststem. leave the canister connected to the motor when you swap my 2 cants... trashwagon5 has the canister fuel filter under the hood, but with a carb

rear disc backing plate
MilesFox replied to junkyardgabe's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
read this explaining the differences http://www.warpthree.com/milesfox/subaru/service/Rear%20Disc.htm -
does the parts you are getton the axles too. if the axles are there, you can swap the whole mess on as one piece. do you have the struts with your parts? the axle on the outer end will fit, and the splines are tha same for the rotor mo matter what the axle however your pars come, thet ca be installed as an assembly.

need help deciding on water pump
MilesFox replied to MaroonDuneDoom's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
does the pulley fit over studs on the water pump? or does it bolt to the pulley? if it slides over studs, its the long one. if the pulley bolts to the water pump, studs in pulley, its the short one -
Tech write-up....Two thumbs up
MilesFox replied to Erik R's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
yes, pictures are great. i had not many pictures of all i have done because i dont have ready access to a camera. i want to colloct pictures i can throw in with my technical explinations. when taking pictures, read the technical info outline, and take pics accordingly. you get the idea. i will make a few ms paint diagrams myself. real pictures will be super beneficial at this point. -
i'll try to have more tonight.................. i have a LOT of catching up to do on my website, being only about 20% done as you see it! i want to make some smilies for the board if they will let me. i already made a fox smiley, its pimp :fox:

Tech write-up....Two thumbs up
MilesFox replied to Erik R's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
i find it easiert ti discinnect the ps lines than remove the pump itself, as the pump will stay with the motor. tha alternator mount and ac pump can swing up and out of the way. i need to write up for panasonic, inboard, and outboaurd hitachi, all having different belt systems i like to remove the hood. TRASHWAGON6 had the motor in, out, in out, on with a comealong tied to the rafters.. i try to be general with my explination, keping the small guy in his garage in mind. like on the front cliper, i mention to use a special tool, but i also describe my method with pliers and i describe my method for ball joints, i have demonstraed it to people. i should mention a pickle fork, forgot to. i like to leave the reader with a few open options to make a choice keep in mind what i have writen so far is just from memory. i need to get my haynes book to "paraphrase" some of the more complex issues i also need to obtain pictures that can be used in the write-up although i am writing these on my site, i sent some of it to the USRM also -
the picture gallery and art gallery pages are now working. so is the messge board link. i am currently working on the links page, i will be collecting urls for subaru related content and websites. i am assuming permission to link to members' site (like you would mind) so if you DONT want YOUR sites linked to, speak up now

hello. i have an 87 gl-10 turbo wagon 5speed too. but it has a carbbed spfi motor because the turbo motor came in the trunk. i put ti back together, it was junk. so driving around with a carb, and just replaced an axle after driving some 2000 miles with a broken/missing axle! hopefully i can find another motor (or at least a head) to go with my xt6 suspension and full-time 5speed!!! oh yeah, my first soob was an 84 4x4 dual range, too. i chopped the fenders out and had a grand am radio mounted to the door as there was no room on the dash! read about it in my webpage! check the link in my sig.

I have seen a lot of subarus with Iterstate batteries. i like them, i think they are OE for older soobs myoss feece's 87 RX had a side post delco. what? chevy guys must have worked on it. like when the car was sold for 200 bucks because it has a list of head repair needed to be done. turns out the plug wires were on backward......................

question about RX sedans
MilesFox replied to Meeky Moose's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Gl 10 seats can be swapped into a sedan. remove the corrugated cardboard and swap mount for the flip-down seats I was pondering XT rear seats into a sedan, the top part folds down the whole thing like a wagon, but one piece. What would have to be accomplished is the bottom swing down hinge, the mount could brobably be drilled out by tack welds(my speculation) or maybe it bolts up to something similar to a sedan rear decklid, but in the xt. the bottom part of xt seat is just like a sedan the way it mounts when i parted the xt, it reminded me of a blend of 3-door and sedan, according to my ponderings of a fastback wagon ir a e-door brat. more so much than it had to do with new gen soobs -
Tecnical Write-ups http://www.warpthree.com/milesfox/subaru/service/SubaruService.htm the ones with links are complete. some of the information interlinks with the other pages How is it? does it make sense to you. could you fix a soob with what is written? if i left anything out, let me know, i had to go from memory with no available reference other than my own experience
