Loyale 2.7 Turbo

Head Gaskets are not a Common issue in EA81's ... Does yours Overheat? if not, the Intake Manyfold's Gaskets are a Good Idea. if you Really Don't want that Subie anymore, I Kindly Suggest you to trade it with another USMB member or at least to a Subie Fan, to keep it Alive; instead to send it to the Scrapyard... Good Luck! Kind Regards.

I Agree... Now I have been Drivin' my Weberized EA82 for more than four years and Mileage is a Li'l bit Better than with the Stock Craptachi Carb, but it Really depends on How hard you Drive it... Kind Regards.

Now I Understand... Thanks! Thank you Dan, That's a Great Website!

Yes... Here in my Country you'll Find Plenty of 13" Tires in any Size. as I said, I Used 205/60 R13 All-Terrain. Kind Regards.

Please excuse me if this sound as a Dumb Question, but Livin' in Central America does not Help me to Understand the Meaning of 25" or 27" Tires... I only Understand measurements like: 205/60 R 13 (The Tires on my -crashed- ER27 Wagon) you Know, when: 205 = Overall Width, from one Side Lip to the Another side lip (The Part that Touches the Rim) 60 = Percentage of that Width Taken to make the Sidewall (Tall) R 13 = Obviously: the Rim Size in inches... So, 25" or 27" Equals to... ???

So, you Swapped an EA82 onto your Brat... isn't it? Basically you put the Belt in one side and Then the other side Needs to be Turned 180º before putting the Belt. The Complete info is on MilesFox's Famous Writeup about Timin' an EA82, which could be Found in the USRM... or just Follow this Link: Timing Belt Procedure EA82 Kind Regards.

Elegant Picture! More info about the Ride You're Drivin' in the Pic?

Welcome! I Like that impreza... minus the Wet-FartCan...

That was me... ...I Said that. For more info about it, see this Thread: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=110546 Kind Regards.

On 13" Rims I Used 205/60 R13 All Terrain, without any Problem at all...

Please excuse me for Long Posts, I'm Feeling very Nostalgic... My Dad said that the ER27 Engine is very Damaged (Broken Block and all the Timing Stuff) and the Engine Bay is damaged too, 'cos we adapted a Metal Arm that Held the Engine to the Front; there is the Place that Received the Hit, mainly. ________________________________________________________ I've seen other Subaru Models in my Taste of Yellow Paint, lately: Even I found a Yellow Wagon with White Stripes: I Guess I've been entertaining myself searchin' for Yellow Subarus on the Net, while I get the chance to Go to my HomeTown to see my 2.7 wagon... Kind Regards. ►Edited to update the photo's links

Some People Didn't Liked my Wagon, but other People take it as an inspiration... First in my Country, many Subaru Owners asked me about the Lug Pattern mod I Did and I explained how I changed the 4X140 to 4X114.3 since many many years ago, and I Helped lots of People (directly or indirectly) to do it; so there many Old School Subies (Both Leones -EA81- and Loyales -EA82-) in Honduras and other countries, that their owners have redrilled that Lug Pattern to use more "Standard" Rims, according to my Photos and Directions. This is another Honduran Subaru Loyale with 4X114.3 and 18" Rims: About my Choice of Colour ... Many people asked me about it ... Not all the People Liked it, but I've seen other Yellow Subies since I painted mine like That and since I Started Posting its Pictures on internet, starting from Year 2000. In example, this nice European Loyale Sedan with Bumper Swap: Also in the Ausubaru Forums, a Member named: "L-Raiser" Wrote about my Wagon: As you can read directly on This Thread, there: ~► http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5373&page=2 Look at Post Nº 17 ... this is How "L-Raiser" Subie Looks now: I Really Like it! Also other USMB members Liked my Choice of Colour ... my dear friend Connie "Bucky92" asked me about the Paint, That yellow Paint is Named "Scream Yellow" done by Ford; after that, She Painted her Subaru XT6 "Rocky" with that Yellow colour, leaving certain panels in Black ... I Really Liked that XT6 which Now has Gone to the Subaru Heaven. I'm Afraid that Maybe my 2.7 is Gone too ... ... Somehow Another USMB Members, such like "Caramanos 2000" Painted his Nice Loyale Wagon, named: "La Abuela" (The "GrandMother" in Spanish) with that Yellow, Leavin' the Roof & Hood in flat Black: I Like your Puerto-Rican Subie, Peter! Also, My dear Friend Brandon has a Beautiful, Awesome Subaru Sedan with my Tone of Yellow: Gotta Love that Subaru and all his Amazing Work! I've seen other Yellow Subarus here in USMB, such like these: Kind Regards. ►Edited to update the photo's links.

My "Loyale 2.7 Turbo" Project was very Fun ... even if we Didn't the Turbo Mod due to the Easy Overheating issue; but I Still have six EA82T Pistons in a Shelf ... We (Dad and I) Wanted to Fix the Radiator's issue first, but seems like that Dream will never come True ... ... My Dad Called me by Phone today early Morning, the Paperwork is Finished ... Oh my God, I Feel So Sad ... I Want to Remember my Project Wagon as it was. When I Painted it in Yellow in Year 2000, only my Sister Liked the Colour ... I've made a Couple of Videos, mainly off-Roading ... You can watch 'em in Youtube, but Youtube Removed the Audio from some of Them, 'cos I Used Songs from my Favourite Bands, such like: "Within Temptation" & "Iron Maiden" in the Background ... I don't understand such Copyright claims, because when you are Listening to your Favourite Music on your Car's stereo and do your Video Footage, you're Not getting any profit from such background Music, isn't it? ... So I Had to Use another Music from Youtube's "Pathetic" library. ... Old picture, both my Wagons Together ... ... Did Lots of Trips on Bad Roads ... ... I Like how it Looks in a Parkin' Lot ... ... I Did Lots of Work all Around & Under it ... ... We Went to Many Cities ... ... But I Preffer the Muddy Mountains for Sure ...

Could I Ask with Which engine did you Replaced the EA71? Another EA71 or a EA81? Kind Regards.

Also: it could by done by Worn Ball Bearings... Have you Checked those?

Yes, my EA82 has a Lot of Blow-By and I Agree with you, That's uncommon in Subarus... Thank you for your Kind Answers... Now I am Sure how to Hook up that Catch Can. Kind Regards.

Welcome! ... Nice STi

First of all: You Need to Explain more Details about your Ride and what's Wrong with the Engine. To post Pics, Upload them to a Free Hosting Website, like Picasa, Flikr, or Photobucket, then Copy them from there and Paste them here in a Post... Kind Regards.

I'll Love to see Pictures about How others did the Oil Catch Can / PCV Hoses Hook up... Could you Post your Pics here... Please?

I Used to have Both Heads' Hoses Hooked together... ...But that was a "Temporary" Setup.

Thank you Kanurys, I Liked your Engine and that Photo got the Best Angle to Explain the PCV Stuff Correctly, Thanks! Thank you GD, Again You're Right; but the Difference here is that my EA82 is Blowing too much Oil... I Believe that over 280K Miles Driving in a Very Dusty / Muddy (and Off-Road) Conditions 60% of the Time in my Crazy Country, have worn Faster certain engine Parts like the Piston Rings; but that EA82 Still Drives Strong and since it is Weberized is pretty Fast; the Only Problem is the Oil in the PCV Hoses... Kind Regards.

Advices for Longer Constant Velocity Joints' Life! Having Changed Many Many Constant Velocity Joints on all these Years (Not only in Subarus), I've Found some Ideas that Really Helps to Extend their Life, that I Want to Share with you. Grease: C.V. Joints, needs the Very Best Quality Grease that you can obtain, Lesser Quality Greases equals to Lesser C.V. Joint's Life for Sure, the best additive for C.V. Joint's greases is usually known as Graphite but is written as MoS2 (Molybdenum Disulphide) and makes greases to be Approved for C.V. Joints, like these: Such additive is even used in Manual Transmissions and Differential gears, I use those on my Subaru "BumbleBeast" since many years ago My advice is: ► Choose a Grease intended for C.V. Joints, not a cheap, soapy universal grease. Rubber Boots: I Suggest you to use Always the Subaru Original Rubber Boots. Even Using Cheap C.V. Joints... ...Because other Brands Doesn't last very much. Subaru designed one Short Boot to be Used at the Wheel's Side (outer Boot), and one Long Boot to be Used on the Gearbox Side (inner Boot), the Difference could be Seen in this Drawing: Since both Boots does have the Same opening Measurements, their only difference is that one is Longer than the other, it does Not make any Sense to Use the Short Boot; Specially considering that the Wheel side does Much more Effort due to the Steering Turns that Stretch 'em many many times per trip. My advice is: ► Use the Longer Rubber Boot at Both ends. Because the inner Boot (Longer) Works Perfectly in the Place of the Outer Boot (Shorter). Being Longer aids the Boot to Handle Better the Continous Stretchings from the Steering Turns; so it Will Last Very Longer than the Short one, holding there the Grease, and the longer boot helps to elongate the C.V. Joints' Lifespan on Lifted rigs, because it compensates the increased angle of the axles. Also I've Found that a Simple Driving Behaviour can Make C.V. Joints to Last much more longer: To Relief Pressure from C.V. Joints while doing U-Turns; let me Explain: C.V. Joints works as you can see on the Followin' Animation: So, when you do a U-Turn, the Balls goes from one Side to Another very very Fast; if Acceleration is Forced (in Example while Accelerating the Engine) the Balls will go Faster and harder with the Extra Pressure and shearing against the walls, and that will Worn them and their Holding Basket very Fast, also their C.V. Joint's base. ► My Advice is: Do the U-Turns Just with vehicle's Impluse. Give to the Vehicle enough Speed and leave the gas pedal while doing the U-Turn, also you could Place the Shifter in Neutral Gear (or Press the Clutch Pedal to the Bottom) in manual transmission vehicles; only while the Car is Turning, that Releases the pressure from the C.V. Balls ... ...it makes Miracles in C.V. Joint's Life! One last thing that might Help, is the Use Good Quality Zip Ties, instead the Metallics with Razor's Edge that could Cut the Boot; I'm Using those in many cars since 1999 with Great Results! ... Even in my Lifted Subaru "BumbleBeast" as you can See in this Photo below: They'll Stay right there if Properly adjusted and be Sure to obtain the Best Quality that you can buy, not the toughest ones because those are too hard for the application. Two Things are the Most important in C.V. Joints' life: ► Grease: If a Boot Fails, you must Hurry up to Change it along with new, fresh Grease, as soon as possible, so Weekly (or Sooner) inspections to the Boots are Highly recommended. ► Driving Behaviour: if you Usually Force the C.V. Joints, (i.e: like Burning Tires in U-Turns) they'll Break soon. Remember, if you find this information useful, let me know by hittin' the "Like" Button. Kind Regards. ► Edited to add the Tags for the New USMB Search System.

An Oil Catch Can, Works like This: I Found this Tiny Oil Catch Can with Filter: But I Don't like the Idea of a Replaceable Filter

Hi All! ... ... Please Correct me if I'm Wrong, this is for my EA82 Wagon. if I Have a PCV Setup like This one... (This Awesome Clean EA82 Engine Belongs to Kanurys) ...and my EA82 is Blowin' Oil thru the PCV setup, I Must install an Oil Catch Can, Right? Recently I Obtained an Oil Catch Can that Looks similar to This one: The Questions Are: Should I Hook it Between the Driver's side Head Hose and the PCV intake Valve, isn't it? The Passenger's Side Hose Doesn't need any Oil Catch Can 'cos it will only "Suck" Air from the Air Filter's Box, at the Carb... isn't it? Any Suggestion, advice or Idea will be Greatly Appreciated. Kind Regards.
