it would be a good application for another "Roof Of Boom in a wagon with a sunroof(recessed ceiling!)

sounds like an intake gasket is leaking. did you know you can re-use a new gasket if you used silicone on it? you can double them up, too. that is how i got my ea81 carb/intake on a spfi ea82

soob just designed the driveline, probably based off something already suzuki. justy's re suzukies. just like old dodge minivans had mitsubishis under the hood, and thre geo prism is a toyota, and the chevy/geo spectrum in an isizu i-mark, and the geo tracker is a suzuki sidekick, and the geo storm is some sort of suzuki known as a pontiac elsewhere one of them odd breeds

you should have that fuse that disables the 4wd, its under the hod on the passenger firewall. put a fuse in therer for front wheel driv. check that out first!

swap axles, or just the inner axle DOJ, change rear diff, too

yo. this board is the most comprehensive collection of subaru epertise for all makes models, and service and repair! you wont find a better place in all of the internet! its cool to know a few board members. otherwise you are the only one you know that knows aboiut subaur! the board keeps growing every day, and the members getting closer, too

i am going to run 5w30 in mine, buing a turbo.

so where did thsi dude come form, anyway?:-\

cram them all up in joh'e driveway. that way she shinks you sold ther, but you got them stashed out for themoment!

yo, i didnt get your private message, because my "inbox was full" i cleared it, who ever thought getting ahold of me would be a pain in the:moon:

how did you do that one, jim?

hey, you said cutting the water pipe, but one from an ea82 will fit right with the manifold. sorry to mention that earlier.

hey, i didnt see your message. what name will it come up as my email is milesfox@yahoo.com send me a private message too to back it up!

i'll check that right away. enjoy the snow!(if you got any)

i go with the napas myself. most economical, napa doesnt necesarily have cheap stuff. i got the napa tru-stop ones, but i think they carry bendix wearever too, with lifetime replacement

junkie: the rx tranny when open diff, allows for it to be in 4wd without axle bind. when locked electrically, it is just like a normal 5spd 4wd, when its in 4wd its locked all the time. with a locked diff, you have power to one ot the other wheel in front, and one or the other wheel in back, and both must turn at the same rate. when oppen, you have power to one or the other in front, and one or the other in back, baut are allowed to turn at different rates. the lsd will make it one wheel up front and both in back. Jack:you woul;d have to take apart both trannies to swap the electric lock into a 5spd from an rx, but i dont know squat about taking a tranny apart!

jim, i would go ahead and get new boots, they have the split type, but get the OE type boots(which require disassembly of the axle to replace). you already have molybendum grease, so if you get the boots, i can rebuild them for you. i was going to do the same on my axle on my turbo wagon, rather than the split clamp on boots. my axle didnt make noise, but now its pulling since i got stuck in some mud. i need to take it apart and clean it out before it damages, but if i do that now it will be ok since its not making noise, you it would last as long if not longer than aftermarket axles(and cheaper, too!) as long as you dont drive the hell iout of them before you get them fixed!

haynes book says something like 23, 43, and 47, give or take a few numbers, but i have always done 25, 40, and 50, using a bar type torque wrench, and has been reliable, no re-torque. i ahve always used the victor reinz head gaskets from napa, with the graphite face, and the hugher end gaskets have a bead of silicone around the water passages

something about bosch L-type injectors, somethimg about injectors on nissan z-cars will work. look into that i dont know specifically, but i read something about it a time ago

i just typed all this up and lost it, so here goes again..... a 4spd will fit the same, as long as you carry over the driveshaft and rear diff, and crossmember, and its mounting bolts. there are 2 suspension bolts that will be taken out, and the longer ones that hold the crossmember on will replace them. you can use a 5spd, but it may not exactly clear the trans tunnel. you will also have to cleverly mount the 4wd shifter, as it is different in design. jerry (bratsrus10 can offer his services to make an install kit, you sent him the parts and he will modify them, it will get the ea81 4wd lever to fit stock on the ea82 tranny. you may be able to stack wahers on the crossmember bolts to drop it down for the trans to clear, as General Disorder dod to fit a 4spd in a 2wd. I put a 5spd in a turbo 84 wagon, but with a 3 inch lift. when using the 5spd, you will need the flywheel/clutch, 2pc driveshaft(or lengthen your existing), and the rear diff that has the 3.90 gear. i cant remember if the ea82 flywheel bolts fit on the ea81 turbo, but on a normal ea81, you use the skinnier ea81 flywheel bolts on the ea82 flywheel's larger holes. the flywheel will center itself the way it fits against the crank. you will not have to modify your engine bellhousing, being a turbo. the crossmenber from the 5spd(ea82) will fit the same as one from the 4spd. a 4 and 5 spd will have the same axle spline as the turbo's AT it has been done a number of ways, so if you run into a problem, just refer to the collective expertise on the board! be specific in questions, because one might have done it a different way than another, and one of us will have the answer to your specific methid. good luck!

you could just swap the whole ea82 manifold and carb in one piece, that is, if you know the ea82's carb is good. you wont have to hook up all the feedback stuff to work, but the ecs light will always be on. to put the ea82 manifold on the ea81, it might be in the way of the distributor. you can take the mounting tab for the dist and mount it upside down, flip the dist body 180 deg to clear the water neck. when doing that, with the dist body backward, keep the rotor pointing like it was. because the disty is backwards, connect all your plug wires backwards to the cap, so they are in line with the distributor.

hey, Jim made it well worth my while to work for him. but i told him i would have been just as happy if he only gave me the used timing belts! we ought to plan something around the next time i come to jim's, on one of my 3-day weekends, jim could bring me down with him if he were to meet with you.

way to go, tom. now them electrical condui...* i mean Dual Exhaust can do their thing! got any snow up there yet? its gonna be a fun winter! dont forget i still got your haynes manual. i will be putting the rest of my turbo motor together and down in my ride this weekend. i have today thru sunday off. it would be a good excuse to break in the new Weber! if you feel like visiting give a call (260) 908-1259 (josh;s phone. if you come in from 69, turn left on elm st, immediately before the Citgo(used to be marathon) its the last house on the right with a driveway full of soobs. my door is on the left

well, we can live with it as long as it still works, which it does well. josh may sell the car to robert, but it would be nice to find a 5 spd! i wouldnt mind an ej22 in the trashwagon myself! thanx for the info, it eliminated a lot of possibilities.

i put a 3spd in an ea81 turbo, to replace the automatic. having the low gear will let you pull some quick rpms, i accidentally aqualled(not exactly, but broke loose) the tires doing a clutch drop in 2nd hi, i thought i was in 1st low! anyway, the automatic wouldnt let the tires break free in mud, let alone shift right..... the 3.9 gear is a lot more fun than a 3.7--i got a 5spd single range in my gl-10, and it didnt want to pull in the sloppies. i had a 5 inch lift on the ea81, didnt affect the axles, the ea81 turbo automatic uses the same axle as the regular trannies. when you lift a soob, the axles will be in the same alignment relative to the suspension, because its all a body lift. if your car is already turbo, being it had(has) an rx tranny, or a single range 5spd, it will already have the s27(or 29? turbos have more)plines for the turbo axles. if you are going to use a regular 5spd dual range, you will need to find the non turbo axles, or swap DOJ with the 25 spline i know of board members who have swapped 3.90 gears into 3.70 gear LSD, and the rx 5spd is not much different than a normal 5spd, and i would suppose that the gears would swap into a an rx tranny without fitment issues! for the tire question: I have a 5spd dual range with a n/a ea82 motor in my 83 wagon, had a set of 16 inch chevy rims drilled out with 205/55 tires, i broke the inner doj turning from a stop while getting on it, but that is because the boot had been gone for some time, the axle coming from a parts 88 wagon
