Loyale 2.7 Turbo

In my case, I welded closed all the unused vacuum ports... It doesn't look good but will never fail. Kind Regards.

How is your Weberized Subie's engine, Performing now?

Nice Wagon! Are those the Temporary Use, 15" rims for Spare tires? The Complete information & photos on that Mod, could be found, here: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/106807-improved-shock-absorbers-and-spring-coils-on-loyales/ Kind Regards.

If you want to Change it, instead of Fixing it, you must be aware of this: Almost any EA81 / EA82 \ EJ18 - EJ20 - EJ22 Starter will bolt right and work well. Main difference is if car is Automatic or Manual, and even those will swap... In case of doubt, take out yours and go with it for comparison purposes. Kind Regards.

Sorry, I could not answer your Question, but bring here another: I've seen "GATES TCK299" but Never AC Delco TCK299 ~► http://www.amazon.com/Gates-TCK299-Timing-Belt-Component/dp/B000C2UL5U ~► http://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-TCK299-Timing-Belt/dp/B000C9S7S6 Could it be the Same? If it is made by Gates, it should be a Great Quality product, But I Don't know who made the AC Delco version. Kind Regards.

I Bet he followed this Writeup for the Wiring: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/125754-easy-guide-on-five-steps-to-twin-electric-fans-swap/ Kind Regards.

Don't forget to check if the Thermostat is good. Kind Regards.

Yes, my Subaru "BumbleBeast" is an Early EA82 (1985 model) and Despite that it came from California, USA; (running to Honduras almost new, that year) it came with a single row radiator, that was never enough for the car. If the car was Gently driven, without A/C and not too much hill climbs, the temperature needle stayed right above the Mid Mark, which is where the Electric Fan (Auxiliary fan) started to spin... and almost kept spinning all day long. If the car was driven in several hill climbs without A/C, the temperature needle went up to 3/4, and if we add the A/C to the mix, the Needle went without mercy to the mere Top at "H" and even worse, it pointed to the Sky a couple of times on traffic jams... with time, the issue ended with blown headgaskets. So, I removed the original radiator and took it to one of the many local radiator shops, where a guy only used its measurements and main frame, to built a complete, brand new, custom fully metallic radiator in the old fashioned way: All Brass, not Aluminium. The double row radiator augmented the overall cooling system capability, from around half gallon, to a complete gallon, and solved forever the overheating issues. Since then, the temperature needle used to stay pegged around 1/4. But since I removed the mechanical fan, it stays around 1/3, despite that I run at higher RPM's due to the increased tire size, and do lots of hill climbs with the A/C, and the needle keeps around 1/3. The needle moves a little up, in traffic jams without A/C during hot weather days, right below the half mark the twin electric fans start, and spins for less than half minute to return it down... and it takes five minutes to raise the needle again on those circumstances. If I turn on the A/C, the temperature keeps Cool down at 1/3 due to the permanent fans, and in open roads without A/C, the electric fans never work... Kind Regards.

I remember MudRat from the early years of USMB... He used to has his own web page, with a photo of him standing in the roof of a beige EA81 wagon, the hands wide up and the sun behind; and the legend: "If you Dream it, I Can Build it" as far as I Remember... ~► https://myspace.com/mudrat79/ ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/12163-mudrat79-cars/ ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/50599-i-hold-you-to-your-word-mudrat79 Kind Regards.

This one:

Pretty Similar Situation, but not only gained Load capability, Also much more stability. Kind Regards.

Something that has helped to fight dieseling, is to do a Cleanup of the internals, pouring a Seafoam Can to the intake manifold, via vacuum hose. Kind Regards.

In my Case, I has a 2" SJR Lift kit on the Front only, on my "BumbleBeast" and the 4Runner + Accord Setup on the Rear without adding a Lift kit there, and the car sits on Level and Handles Awesome; look for detailed info on the above posted link. Kind Regards.

Yes, you're Right... I learn somethin' New everyday! The Complete information on that Setup, is found in this Writeup: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/106807-improved-shock-absorbers-and-spring-coils-on-loyales/ Kind Regards.

I Understand... Usually I bleed with some of the Repairs I do. Move the Timing Forward to 20º and let us Know the Results. Kind Regards.

I would Try the Metallizer, maybe doing same colour to the rims also. Kind Regards.

Why? Could you elaborate further? Maybe we could help you with some ideas... Kind Regards.

Thank you! Since I always take photos of all the Repairs and Modification procedures I do, I always think that everybody does the same ... ... Kind Regards.

Nice New Ride, What does mean: "Ski Bum Edition"? I bet it will look even Better when you finish to mod it. About this: In my case, I really Like them, mainly Because they somehow "Scream" 1980's Kind Regards.

Please post more Photos of the SafariWagon. Kind Regards.

Dear Thomas, Thank you for Sharing so many Great photos of that event, looks like it was very nice and Fun; also I recognized some people on the Photos and the Subies are Magnificent; I bet that your SafariWagon was the most "Beast" one (in the good sense), it really Looks so Good, prepared for any mountain climb around; I like it very much. About this: Knowing that the suspension modifications I suggested, satisfies you, made my day ... ... Thank you! Kind Regards.

Pure Awesomeness!!!

I Tried to Source a Dual Range EJ Transmission alone here, not only for you, also many other USMB Members asked me about that via Private Messages, e-Mails and even Facebook; and Despite that there are Many, Many Legacies, Imprezas, and Foresters with LADM (Latin American Domestic Market) Specs, with Dual Range Transmissions; no one of them could end in local Junk Yards, also you must know that Honduran Cars could be fixed, and fixed, and fixed again, and again... even those rolled or involved in huge fat Crashes... there is no Legal regulation against it; so Local Cars seems to Last Forever. The Reason why Local Junk Yards can Not sell Local cars, is to avoid the Robbery of Cars to be Sold as Parts among various junk yards; so the Local Junk Yards only sells cars with USDM, that comes from USA, and that explains the reason of the Lack of availability of Dual Range EJ Transmissions alone... But Still you can Buy an Entire Legacy; I was about to buy a Factory Carbureted EJ20 Legacy with Dual Range... to see photos, again go to the Very first post of this thread. Thank you for your Kind Words which are Really Appreciated. Kind Regards.

USA, read the very first post of this thread. Yes, me too! No, you misunderstood me or you got the idea Backwards; let me Explain the Honduran Used Cars / Honduran Junk Yards Situation: Basically talking, Honduran Cars seems to last Forever due to the permanent warm climate and no salty roads; The Local Junk Yards (called here: "Yonkers") brings here cars already cut in Half, from USA; there are many, many Junk Yards here, but No one is legally allowed to sell LOCAL cars on them. So if a Local car is destroyed in a car crash, is the mere owner or the insurance company that sells it for parts, but Not the local Junk Yards. You can find a Complete Explanation with many Photos of Local Junk Yards, following this Link: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/87725-an-open-request-to-loyale-27-turbo/page-5 I Added three new Photos of a Subaru, today. Kind Regards.

Charcoal Black! ... ... Lookin' really Awesome, Good Job! Kind Regards.
