Loyale 2.7 Turbo

This is me, puttin` 20W-50 Motul oil in my EA82 Weberized White Subie : Well... This is a PTFE (Teflon) Based Coolin` System Treatment... ...What do you Think `bout?

I Like how those Subies Look! ...

You need first to Know Which Engine EJ series will be Used, then, to Find the Adaptor to Install it to the EA Gearbox... ...Then comes a Lot of Things... I Think you should Decide / Obtain the EJ Engine First... Could you Post here Pics of that car? Good Luck!

And How About for Gasoline Additives?

About Greases... Bgd did Mention something about Synthetic Grease for Axles (Now I Know that`s the Same thing called C. V. Joints ) And with my Experience, I determined that for my Subies is Better the Meistersatz Brand (Made out of Pure Graphite) ... but, How about Synth. Greases? What is your Experience with `em? ... Which Performs Better? Thanx!

Really Thank you Soo Much!, You are So Kind!

Thanx for your Kind Replies! I Didn´t Understand this one: * * * Nice to Know! ... but What is exactly Slick 50? Well... About Greases, I Have Tried many Brands for my Constant Velocity Joints (Axles... I Dunno the Right Translation from Spanish) and Bearing of my Subies... and the Only Grease that Works Very Well and Develop Greatest Performance, Durability, etc... (For My Subies) is This: Also, I Use the Large Rubber Boots (those Used in the Gearbox part of the Axles) in the Wheel Parts of ´em. Those Last Longer!

Say What? As I Said... (Check Post Nº 2 on this Thread...) That´s the Place. Good Luck!

Yes! I Agree... I Helped last Year a Friend to do That, we Installed the CD Changer in the Glovebox too!

I Agree! ... But for Pingin´ I Also wanna Suggest to Check the Ignition Timin´ Good Luck!

Holy Cow! In that case, I Suggest to Swap a EJ Series Engine instead...

Welcome! About the Carburetor, to deal with the Hitachi stock is a Headache; I suggest that if the stock is Bad, Change it with a Weber 32/36 Carb. Its the Simpliest way to Increase Performance and Gain Beautyful Simplicity in a Carbed EA81... but Check Emmissions Regulations in your State First. Also you can Install the EA82 MPFI Intake, here you can do a Search ´bout, there´s a Lot of info. Good Luck!

Nice!

Thanx to All replies! , Very Nice info. I didn´t Knew... I was about to Buy a Bottle of PTFE engine Treatment for my Tickin´ EA82, but now I Don´t! Other Question, Between Petrol Based Oils, and Minerally Based Oils, Which one is Better for my Subies? (EA82 and ER27) I Use Motul Minerally Based Oil 20W-50 in Both (Also in my Dad´s 1969 Mercury Comet) ´cos with it, the Tick is Almost Gone, but maybe you know Somethin´ about Mineral Oils that I don´t Know... Thanx!, Best Regards. JesZeK.

Thanx for the Info! ... I didn`t knew that new Formula Synth oil doesn`t Damage seals.

Well... I just wanna Add that the Oil Doesn`t make any Damage to any Metal, so the Leaks come due to the Seals. Let me Explain: Older engines came with the Seals Not Designed to Resist the Synth Oil, which damages the Seals as Bad Brake Fluid (With much Alcohol content) will Damage brake Seals... When Synth oil first came, Sellers give a Li`l Paper Sheet, with the Warnin` About the Seals. so Older Engine will Leak with Synth Oil due to Seal Fail against Synth Oil. Newer Cars come Prepared for it.

Yes! ... I Use Motul 20W-50 Always (No Snow in Tropics) and my EA82 has over 245K With that Brand of Oil, due to its Mineral Base (No Synth, No Petrol.) my EA82 Performs Smoother, and the "Tick of Death" is Almost Gone...

2WD or 4WD? ... I think the EA81`s (Subaru Leone) will fit, but better Idea is to Take the Part with You and search (Maybe in Junk Yards or in a Car Parts Store) with it; due to the Fact that Measurements of Parts usually Vary from a Country to Others... Good Luck!

Usually, some Mechanics use to Recommend / Sugest the Use of "Magical" Additives, some Compleately Refuse to Use `em... ...Some of that Additives claim to Run Engines even Without Oil! Increasin` the Slick Level of Internal Parts; We saw in a T.V. Spot, someone runnin` a Small Block V8 Engine without the Oil Pan, :-\ ... Some Treatments use PTFE (Teflon) some Don`t and say that PTFE can Ruin the Engine ... What do you Think `bout? One of the Top seller Brands on our Market, is QMI ( http://www.qminet.com/ or: http://nooga.com/calar/index.html ) Also Metaloil, etc... What do you Think `bout? ... How was your Experience with those Special Additives?

I Think That, Too.

Well... at First: Happy New Year for Everyone! This is About the Lubricants (Oils, Greases, etc... ) and Additives we Use on our Subies, and to Share the Experience / Results, etc... with `em. Because some of us did have bad experiences with some Oils, Fake "Magical" Additives, etc... I think is Important to Share our Experiences and ask for Good Advice. For Start: Did someone Used This: Oil in a Subaru? I am Afraid to use it, `cos the Extra Viscosity grade, and Stickin` Additives may clog the Hydro Lifters... What do you Think `bout? in my EA82, since 1985 (When it was New) dad used the Castrol 20W-50, (We have here only Tropical climates) then we Switched to Chevron, same Grade. Then, with time we Tried other Brands, due to Avaliability facts, as Pennzoil, Valvoline, and Quaker State. This is not to do Negative Criticism, but with Pennzoil we obtained more "Tick of Death" and the engine`s interior became more Clogged with gum & Varnish (I know that due to a Change of Oil Pan`s Gasket) With Chevron, the "Tick" almost goes... but since 2001, we only use Motul Brand oil. (Minerally Based) that is the Brand that suggested the Honduran Dealer, (Also you can see a Subie in they Page: http://www.motul.com/ ) I know that my EA82 Oil Pump isn`t in good shape (21+ years of Work) , but have noticed this curious Behavior: when the Oil is New (Freshly Changed) the "Tick" sounds became a Li`l bit Harder, but when Oil became Older (A month of Use) the Tick is almost Gone! Also, when I Use other Oil Brands, the "Tick" becomes Harder and stays like that untill I Change it with Motul... Why? Thank you for Share your Experiences too.

I Like to see Pics of it Too! Some Pics of Subaru Engines used in Planes: They always use the EA81, (Now with a 200 HP version) due to no Timin` Belts...

Well, but I like the Idea, `cos when you finish the Job, you`ll have an Almost Brand New Loyale Congratulations. I did put -almost- all my Money in my Loyales too... They worth it I`ll Love to see more pics of it soon! ...
