your power is not going to come from how much pressure is in there but how MUCH air(volume) yu can get in there. the boost will act like your high compression, but the volume will allow MORE air to be compressed under BOOST

Front axle diferances(EA81-vs-EA82)
MilesFox replied to soobme's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
i drove some at least 2000 miles, 100 mile stretches, and pizza delivery with a broken axle and in 4wd. didnt hurt anything. -
we just had a stereo installed at best buy in the 93 impreza. but i didnt get to watch. i dont know how the wiring differs from the older soobs. this forum covers the older soobs, your soob would fall into "The Newer Generation of Subarus" forum. go throw it up there, and you will get more help than you expected!!!!!

Front axle diferances(EA81-vs-EA82)

hey, it works, dont it! that's what its all about. more power to ya! -
the turbo has lower compression for knock purposes. but the turbo has the potential to cram more air in the CC than just compression alone. i guess it gives more volume to cram air into, moreso than a higher comp. motor i can go in-depth with my posts, because thatis what i have done. and from what i have learned on the board. sometimes no one wants to answer the same posts all the time, but i dont mind. people recognise that i have a good wealth of knowledge exclusive to my endeavors. good luck on your projects. check out my new website, it will give you more of an adea of what i am doing with soobs http://www.warpthree.com/milesfox/enter.htm

i have used wd-40 on my trim, rubber, and interior. i say it does wondes and i love it. i like how it refreshes the interior, but it will dry off and not leave a residue like armorall. i cant tell you about prolonged use, but it wirks real good for ruber seals and trim. i use it to maintain my spraypaint, acts like a wax, but is spraypaint friendly. but it will dissolve cheap dollar can silver paint. i used krylon and rustoleum blue metallic flake, clearcoated, and wd40 is the best for it

XT trans and axle questions
MilesFox replied to TROGDOR!'s topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
all the autos except for full time turbo have 23 splines. jim's 4wd xt turbo had a bad diff, and we swapped in a 2wd auto that fit the same -
ea81 to ea82 swap *sticky?*
MilesFox replied to archemitis's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
framerail modifacations are not necessary for the ea82 to fit. only with a lift is it necessary... tom's brat and our GLF have no framerail mods. my trashwagon has framerail mods, only becaise the motor was installed with a lift, and then the lift was taken out. the motor fits normally without the lift -
give it up for skip! we-hee what would we do without him. "i got a carb on my 87 gl-10 turbo" "you are incorrect, it only comes with a turbo MPFI" "no, it has an SPFI" "What?" "TrashWagon"

ignition pulse wire for 85-87 mpfi

i dont know about batch fire. if i told you what i THOUGHT i knew, one of our 2 favorite board mermbers would jump my rump roast about it. i will have to leave that one alone -
new subaru RX owner..looking for info
MilesFox replied to Ben L's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
the hill holder cable fits thru a pin on the clutch fork. the nut has a curved edge that fits the curcumfrence of thet pin, when you turn it, it locks into place each half turn. you might be able toget away with regular nuts, but you will have to double them up to lock them into place. the tread is the same as the 8mm nuts on the coil, se if you can find a 10mm nut with the same hole if you cant find the proper nut for replacement. i believe all manuals after 82 have the hill holder. the nut will be the same for all models -
ea81 to ea82 swap *sticky?*
MilesFox replied to archemitis's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
i meant the voltage regulator. it can be eliminated if using the internally regulated alt (83+) using the 85 and 86 distributor, it has the module internally, so the external ign module(pre-83- can be eliminated) -
very clean!

i have seen half inch diameter bolts with major course threads shoved into exhaust holes myself.

4wd light on dash question
MilesFox replied to 86subaru's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
skip, the 4wd switch is in the transmission itself. the switch in the center console is for the LO. Jim, its quite possible the bulb in the display could be out -
ignition pulse wire for 85-87 mpfi
MilesFox replied to archemitis's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
the ecu will have its black wire for ground the braided portion i think would ground to the distributor or something, but its not the computers ground. its the middle sheathed wire that will be the signal wire. the ecu i have exp. with was only gutted out. i havent hooked it up, because we couldnt get the flexplate bolts out to swap the motor to a flywheel. i have fried mt nintendo by jumping the contacts on the cartridge to get the screen to do crazy tricks i thought i have fried mt computer swapping drives when it os on, but it was an internal breaker in the power module, and everything checked out. i have a spare ecu for 87 turbo if there is a way to get it to you should you fry yours. keep me up on your progress...... -
RX WTF engine issues...a solution
MilesFox replied to WJM's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
WJM, i was bs-ing with a ford probe owner, i mentioned using a carb block for higher compression, and he mentioned 0-ringed head gasket. makes sende, but i-m sure they dont exist for subarus! -
the xt manifold will boly to the turbo multi port heads. th einjector and fuel rails will be compatible. the only thing i dont know is how the turbo will connect to the spider intake. havent had one to mess with..... the fuel rail might be routed differently, but it will hook up to the fuel hose end, and the injectors ae the same as all mpfi, including turbo and ea81T
