Loyale 2.7 Turbo

Subaru BRZ, the First Rear Wheel Drive Subaru. ...I Hope Soon Will see that Runnin' around...

Holy Cow! ... That's Weird. Clogged Cat / Exhaust System maybe? Some time ago I Read that if a car stays too much time unused, certain animals, such like Mice or Birds Might build a nest inside the Muffler! But if it Blew water... you must check if it works well without exhaust, or it could have a blown head gasket... Why don't you remove the entire exhaust pipes and check their Flow? Kind Regards.

I Forget to Write that the DELO 400 Motor Oil has a "ISO-SYN" Technology, they claim that it Rivalizes with Synthetic Oils: As could be Read here: http://www.deloperformance.com/products/engine-oils.aspx But the regular Delo 400 "ISO-SYN" is a Group II dino oil that has undergone some Newfangled Refining processes; It's an excellent dino oil, but is not "synthetic" by any chance; So, in my Own Humble opinion it's not "Real" synthetic but is very good oil nevertheless. I Recommend it to anybody who Doesn't want to spend much Money on Synthetic oils, but Still have great performance Oil. So don't be fooled by the "ISO-SYN" thing. That's just a Marketing Slogan. Kind Regards.

What do you Think about this one?

We have plenty of those SsangYongs Here, even some has a Rear Glass' Sticker that says: "Powered by Mercedes Benz" in their Diesel Models. There are Pick-ups too: Many of those here, but they're Civil trucks... And this one: is a Newer version of the Vocho-Van: The Mexican Volkswagen Beetle that was Build 'till 1994, included this Vocho-van as an Option for cheap cargo transportation, all those mexican bugs were EFi. Kind Regards.

Look this Prototype DOHC EA82 Heads!

Thanks for Sharing the Above posted Videos' Links... I Liked 'em. About Subaru Videos, Have you seen a Justy on Winter Rally? Also, this '88 Subie ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=zZugnyTQ8DY 1984 gen III Leone (Loyale) ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=xeeyh9d9MOQ&NR=1

If the PCV is the Problem because your engine has a Great amount of Blow-By, Why don't you install an Oil Catch Can? Also a New PCV valve could be a good option. Kind Regards.

Yes, I Agree that a Diesel Motor Oil with Gasoline additive Pack (an "S" with other letter next) will be Better on the Gasoline Engine than the Gasoline-only Motor Oils. In fact, I use the 15W~40 Delo 400 Diesel Motor Oil on my Wife's Kia Sephia. But the ones to avoid pouring on the Gasoline Engines are those Diesel-Only motor oils, those that Doesn't have any "S" = Any Gasoline additive Pack on their mixture, just Diesel Additive Packs... There's a Difference on Diesel Motor Oils, not all are formulated Equal. Kind Regards.

I Understand, because I Feel the Same about my '85 Subaru BumbleBeast and my '69 Mercury Comet coupe. Don't Forget that we're Plentiful of those here, in LADM. LADM = Latin American Domestic Market! Kind Regards.

If it's SM, it will work Fine on the Gasoline engine, but search for the proper SAE Grade for your Engine. Kind Regards.

But I've Never paid attention to the Heads on the EA82's with Spider Manyfolds... (I've seen very Few of those here) ...Maybe those came with the Boxed Letters? Does anybody has a Picture of the Spider intaked EA82's Heads to post here? Sorry for Hijack the thread... Kind Regards.

Three Different Heads for the EA82, that came marked as Follow: Gen 1 - EA82 (Alone, those came in the earlier Engines) Gen 2 - EA82 (underlined, those came on the newer engines) Gen 3 - [EA82] (inside a Box) Our local Subaru Dealer told us (My Father and I) when we purchased the New Heads Long Years Ago, that those (Third Gen ones) Never came Stock, those were improved Replacement Heads, also some other USMB Members said the Same here... Here, Some explanation on the Heads: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=15437 Maybe your Subie got Newer Heads at some Point, or are you Completely Sure that those are the Stock ones? Kind Regards.

Well... I've used Diesel oil on Gasoline engines for Years, but you should check if the Diesel Oil carry the Additives Package for gasoline engines too, if not AVOID use it. Let me Explain: The American Petroleum institute (API) Has Two ways to classify Motor Oils: the Gasoline Motor Oils are clasified under the "S" Letter (From "Spark" combustion engine) While Diesel engine oil is clasified under the "C" Letter (From "Compresor" Combustion engine) The American Petroleum Institute (API) has a program to certify that oil can meet the strict Performance and quality standards put in place by the OEM. The Service Rating is shown in the API “Service Seal” on the product label, that may look like one of these: So, The letter that follows the "S" or the "C" will let you know if the Additives Package (Detergents, Dispersants, etc... ) is Better or Worse for your application. Any Letter from "A" to "Z" could be next to the "S" or "C" Letter, the more Newer Classification will place a Newer Letter there, as Follows: SA = Early -older- motor Oils, Very Basic and without any Additive. SL = Very Recent Classification, includes a Complete Additive Package for Gasoline Engines under the APi Norm. Diesels must read as Follows: CF = -or any other Letter instead the "F" like CH, etc.- (Could have a Number 2 or 4 Next to it) The CF or CF4 are for Normal (four Stroke) Diesel engines, while CF2 oils are for Two Stroke engines. So, back on Subject: if that Shell Oil has, Beside its CF's or CG's or CH's Diesel oil APi classification, any "S" Classification, you could pour it on a Gasoline Engine, if it Doesn't have any "S" (such like SL or SH or SM) Classification, then Avoid pouring it onto ANY Gasoline engine. I Kindly Suggest you to Check ANY Motor oil to see if it has the Round Seal from the API ... as the above posted Examples. And the SAE Grade inside the Seal's Circle. If you Pour "Diesel Only" Oils in Gasoline Engines could be somehow, Harmful for the Engine in certain way... While the Diesel with gasoline Additives Pack included are Very Good and Outstanding Oils for Gasoline Engines. On the Other Hand: if you Pour just "Gasoline" Non-diesel motor oil on a Diesel Motor Oil, the Oil will be Blackened almost inmediately and will fail for Proper Lubrication and Protection of the Metallic Surfaces... Beside other malfunctions. The newest Service category Rating for Gasoline engines in 2012 model year cars and light trucks is “SN.” The API SN rating is equivalent to the new GF-5 oil rating by the International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC). The new SN and GF-5 rated motor oils are backward compatible and can be used in any older engines. For Diesel engines, API has a separate Rating system. The current category is “CJ-4” (introduced in 2007 for newer diesels that have exhaust gas recirculation). The previous CI-4 (2002), CH-4 (1998) CG-4 (1995) and CF-4 (1990) categories all can be used in older four-stroke diesel engines. CF-2 (1994) is the API classification for two-stroke Diesels. I Hope this will Help, because Motor oils Shall not be Choosen by Brand or Marketing, but by the API Classification and SAE Grade considering the Specific Application where they're Needed. Kind Regards.

The Automatics doesn't have Hill Holder, that should was an Automatic. When my BumbleBeast's Hill Holder (which is a Check Valve) started to Leak, I Just removed the Cable that comes from the Clutch fork to the Hill Holder, and the Subie works great without issues. Some people here told me that by doing that, I'll need to instal a Return Spring at the Clutch fork, because the original spring is on the Hill Holder assembly. You can try my Lazy solution or you can remove the Hill Holder and place there the "T" from an automatic EA82... Both works the Same, because an unused Hill Holder check valve is just a "T" by its design. Kind Regards.

Holy Cow! That's the reason why I Removed that piece on my BumbleBeast in year 1997... Glad to read that there wasn't an accident after all. Kind Regards.

So sad but True but I've to agree... I Found the Newer Models a li'l bit Boring too, they look so "Average" for me but I'm an "Old-School" guy too. But you'll Keep your Loyale, isn't it?

So, do you want only FJ's now? There are Plenty of them here, good 4X4 Off-Roaders, a friend of mine Built this one: Do you remember? ... More pictures here: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showpost.php?p=1048643&postcount=102 He is Selling it now because he Built a Monster '66 Bronco V8 Lifted and is Really impressive, but you're So far from here... Kind Regards.

Nope, 4X114 (or 113.5 as others name it) I'll like to hear the Boxer Rumble on that setup! I'll Like to see that, sounds Awesome! Why don't you start a Thread for that Build? _________________________________________________ The only thing I've done recently, is that I only Washed clean my BumbleBeast this weeked, after goin' wheeling again to the "Agua Blanca" (White Water) Mountain trial, this time with the Whole Family included... Kind Regards.

Gen 1 - EA82 (Alone, those came in the earlier Engines) Gen 2 - EA82 (underlined, those came on the newer engines) Gen 3 - [EA82] (inside a Box) The third gen of heads did Never came stock on any engine, those were improved -reinforced- heads only available at the dealer Kind Regards.

That is a True Justy For Sure! So, you'll Need: * Pitch circle diameter (bolt pattern) of 4X100mm * Offset of no more than +35mm (a little less is ok too) * A center bore of approximately 60mm Remember: if a wheel with a lug openings or center bore 2mm smaller than the Justy's size is forced onto a Justy hub, it will probably never come off. The USA and Latin american Justy's came with 13" Rims and the only ones stock wheels I remember that directly fit the Justy straight away, are some older 80's Nissan wheels from the early Sentra / Sunny \ Pulsar Family of Models, but those are 13", except for the Nissan March which has 12". So, if your Justy came with 12" Wheels and you can not Swap them with 13" ones, I Kindly suggest you to Search and Test Fit any 12" with 4X100 pattern you can find, utill you find the right ones. Maybe some Renaults? as far as I could Remember, there are few renaults that came with 4X100 and 12" Rims, we have very few Renaults in my Li'l country. Good Luck! Kind Regards.

Welcome! Let me tell you that Not all the Subarus in Italy are Really Subarus... ...There are Some Rebagged ones, like this wagon Suzuki Swift sold as Subaru Justy. So, could you post pictures of your Subie, to be Sure about the Model? Kind Regards.

This issue could be caused also by Dirty contacts on the Stick Selector... I Kindly suggest you to try to clean them with contact (electrical) Cleaner first, then if that doesn't work, you can try with another Flasher box. Good Luck! Kind Regards.

Nice Score, Congratulations! I Like the Red Front Bumper. What are the Plans? Kind Regards.

Nice Looking Sedan! I Changed the Twin ports Vacuum advance on my BumbleBeast, with a Single port one, that works better with the Weber. In my Writeup about Weber Carb Swap, you could find the Part Number, just in case you need that. Kind Regards.
