if using the 2wd torsion tube and assuming you willmake a diff hanger, you will have to swap out the lower control arms to use the 4wd spindles. if its an ea81 car, you can use ea82 rear trailing arms if you trim the bushings and make the mounting holes bigger for the 17mm bolts. you will also have to make a notch for the brake line. you will see what i am talking about when you put it together!

my turbo motor has seen its better days. after i got it running right, it seized up at the crank. i got it to free up dumping the clutch in reverse moving forward. but now i think it lost compression, it probablydropped a valve seaton the turbo side. now i am going to have to put the carb motor back in untol i find a new turbo motor or at least some heads. but now i have a new clutch, brakes, and fuel lines.i can live with a carb as long as i can drive! atleasti dont have to stay the night in the car for the time being. i amworking with a truck driver for the immediate time being. but having my car would bemore convenient! it never fails that every time i get insurance on a car, it is always in the shop!

keep a spot open in the driveway!!!

on an ea81, it will drop down as far as the torsion bar will allow. on an ea82, all the wight is held by the coil sprin/strut, so with out that it could drop down all the wat to almost 90 degrees

YES! and everything else will fit in a trashwagon:brow:

i would pay a GRAND FOR IT, if i had the money of course.

the 85 and 86 distributor are the ideal choice for swaps and succh. since there is only 2 wires off the coil. i ran one on a carbbed motor in a car that was turbo, with all the mpfi still there. if yer talkin about it rotating backwards its all dependent on how the insides look, if anything spring loaded may want to "ratchet" going backwards. other than that, i think it would work. magnets and electricity all work the same, its a matter of physical movement inside so whereabouts are you in michigan? I live in the NE corner of Indiana, and one of my Subaru Alliance members TomRhere lives in hillsdale, and there are a couple of us in ohio (86 Subaru, The Alleyboy) and a couple of us right here in the corner of indiana(1ABAJA, Myoss Feece, Rgaff) we had a swap meet last year, and we meet in ohio quite often since recently, we are looking for new people to participate in our subarus!

the rx has 3 inches of suspension lift. we simplt made extensions for the coilover(you could use longer coilovers.) the only bind on the lower control arm was that on the bushings. if you loosen the bolts up the bushings will relax to that posture. we dropped the mustache bar the same amount to keep the axles relative to the hub an diff, just like they were. also a 2 inch drop shackle on the diff mount, to keep the ujoints from binding. its all real simple to do if tou get under there and take a look for your contemplations!

well, if the car is hashed i think it would be nice to throw the whole motor and trans combo into an ea82, and get that xt6 for the 5 lug conversion. if the 'Preza goes for parts to fix the legacy, maybe we can invent a 5lug conversion out of that! (can you say strut cap mods?)

i would throw 300 for any soob that runs and drives. i would assume being in nevada the car is not rusty. i have seen absolute rust buckets go for 500 bucks, non turbo at that!

yeah, the car is originally mpfi turbo. but the motor was in the truk when i bought it, and i drove it around with a carbbed spfi motor until i got the turbo motor together. i put on the spare parts, replacing the littlel nougat module on the coil bracket, the coil, the distributor, and the turbo inlet pipe, the ecu, and mounting the MAF to its stock location. i go to start and assume i still have no spark. i has my buddy chegk for spark, she was firin' away" the dist was off 180, so i flipped it around and bam, she fired right up. i have been driving around all last night. the car will run like a scalded dog, but she still misses a bit when she's warm. but the car is vary driveable, and way lots better than before. the big cone filter is still mounted on top so people will wonder what is coming up on them!

overheating aluminul will cause it to lose its grain, so to speak. the molecular structure will break down and go kind of powdery in that sense

the haynes book describes the right procedure, but the pics assume you have turned the crank 360 deg. if you go by the pics alone it will throw you off. if you read the text then the pics will make sense!

were the head gaskets new? if they were the original gaskets, the gasket probably let go before she cracked a head. it is normal for a soob to have a slight crack between the valves. as long as the valve seat didnt fall out!, i have used some questionablr heads myself and they worked fine. chances are it just needs a head gasket. but do both of them for safer measure. dont let some backyard mechanic screw up your ride, trying to put it together like some kind of ford or chevy!

jim, i got my car running with thos spare parts you gave me! she rund like a scalded dog, but still dooks a little bit when warm. anyways, it has a single row radiator, and i went around beating down some county roads last night. the radiator kept her right in the temp range, smack in the middle i think you should be ok, since mine stays cool while romping it.

i had to do the heds on my 132,000 mile motor with a floppy crank. i am running 5w30. the single row radiator keeps it in the right temp range. just got to work the bugs out of the mpfi itself

i know the 4cyl turbo xt injector is the same as ea82t injector, and ea81t for that matter.

i think it will have to do with the coil/ignition system, and the wrong voltage signal to the thermo switch, only dookin out when warm. once she gets running, the custom intake is going back on. we towed it to the gas station woth the RX. Myoss Feece tows me thru the mayor yard, and all i can do is follow. i managed to clip a trash can en-tow who else would go thru such measures to put gas in a car that doesnt run!

oops i thought he said ea81. i need to get my eyes checked like an OLD DOG

no, i had a 6 inch on trashwagon5. it was homemade. i took it out because it wasnt straight, i used too thin of metal. so if you built a 6 inch, and have it now, then you WOULD be the ONLY one with a ea81 6inch, but not the FIRST:D ant way you go, the only thing that cost me on my lift was saw blades and welding wire. and rent on the building. but instead of using thru bolts, i used stock suspension bolts to hold one side up to the body, and leftover bolts from other soobs and lug nutz to hold the suspension to the lift

you would need to use the tranny crossmember for an ea82 MT a 5spd driveshaft should work, in fact, any driveshaft rear section is the same length from the carrier to the diff the xt6 ft4wd around here has a 3.9 final gear

well maybe it has to do with a taped up inlet i got. i pucked up some turbo goodies yesterday, and i am gonna use the stock inlet(now that i just got one) to get it running first.

yeah, you go to title a soob with like 135,000 miles, but it reads "odo discrepency" when it can read up to 999,999!

hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, mudderfuggers!

it has a hill holder because its a manual tranny. trashwagon still has one from her 2wd 5spd
