Loyale 2.7 Turbo

As far as I know, the SK 24 is a Dual carburetor intake manifold, that belongs to a slim case (Narrower / Older style) Subaru EA71 (1600) engine; while the SK 39 is a Single carburetor intake manifold, for the Fat Case (Wider / Newer style) EA71 (1600) and also fits the EA81 (1800) Subaru engines that used the 2bbl Hitachi Carburetors. There are other different intake manifolds for the EA71 and EA81 engines as well, such like the intakes designed to fit a single barrel carburetors, dual carburetors on EA81, and even for the EFi ones... but that's another story. The interesting part is that mainly those intakes only has the logotype "SK" emblazoned, without any number following, so it becomes a confusing topic; thus explains why we do not use that numbers to refer to the intakes; we only use the Engine where they came from, as solid, non-confusing reference. Here is an Example of a dual carburetor intake for the EA81, that only says: "SK" and no numbers following that: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/110449-sourcing-parts-for-a-dual-carb-ea-81-updated/page-2?do=findComment&comment=934770 Kind Regards.

Yes, the EA71S featured sportier cam with Reversed Valves, exhaust / intake on the opposite positions. Without that, dual carbs will not add much to a Regular EA71. Yes, with dual adapter plates and the related mess... Kind Regards.

It has been working Flawlessly since December 2015 Kind Regards.

Thank You! Regarding This shifter's Boot: I decided that it was too small for the application, so I asked a local Leather artisan, to make another boot for me; I gave him the proper measurements to let it fit great in place, not too tight nor too loose; and I used hidden screws to hold it firmly to the Polished Aluminium center console's cover that I made; see:

Have you seen / used this "Carbon Cleaner" by Subaru?

This is a quotation of the information on the website above, just in case...

Awesome! Don't forget to share Photos here with us, for the ones like me, who could not attend but really want to... Kind Regards.

It depends on which web site you use for searching there: ~► http://www.kijiji.ca/b-cars-trucks/alberta/subaru-1980__1994/c174l9003a54a68 ~► http://www.auto-shop.ca/subaru-other/# Kind Regards.

Camber Correction Strut Mount Tops Yes, I know that my drawing looks more like a sound equipment with a pair of Speakers ...or a Monster's face, or even like an old cassette somehow... but not; it is self-explanatory; not all the people know this and how the Camber Correction works on those Kias: I exaggerated the proportions on my drawing with the purpose to let you understand easier how it works; same system is found in many other vehicles as well. The Lifting Blocks that I installed, permits the use of the Camber Correction. Prior to install the Lifting Blocks, I used to have both top mounts, with the center facing towards the fenders (outward), now with the Blocks installed, I rotated the top mounts 180º and both have the center facing the Engine (inwards), as it looks on my drawing above, to compensate the extra tallness; the alignment is within specs. Kind Regards.

Usually, the early models of the first, second and third gen of the Subaru Leone (which is its original Japanese name), are known in USA by their trim designations, often used as name of the model; so they're known as GLF, GL / DL \ GL-10, RS, RX, etc, prior to 1990; then they changed that trim level designation, that was used as a Name, for the name "Loyale" on the last L-Series, that name also was used in certain countries of South America, like Chile. However, colloquially, older subarus are known in USA by their engines, or the most frequently used engine on that body; like the EA71, EA81, EA82... The very best bet to find the proper part for your car is to use the VIN number plus to carry the part with you for comparison purposses. Kind Regards.

According to the odometer on the "KiaStein", the complete trip across three countries and coming back, plus all the tourism we did during the last Holy Week, took 1172 miles long (including long roads where we were lost, literally). The small (and tall) sedan has performed outstandingly; the suspension modifications are giving much better results than what I thought. Here's a brief idea of the basic route that we followed: Kind Regards.

Look my post above, 205/60 R13 fits great, on standard Subaru 4X140 steelies, Subaru Mags, and Aftermarket Wheels. Kind Regards.

Welcome! For the placement of the four relays that you describe, I believe that your 1985 GL, is an EA82 engined Subaru. However, you must provide further information of your vehicle to get the proper help. There is No relay for the Horn, because they wired the Positive (+) directly to the Horn from the Battery, so, the button on the Steering wheel, provides the Negative (-) or ground, to the Horn's circuit. There must be a short circuit on the Negative wire, or on the steering wheel's wiring. Have you removed the steering wheel, lately? Kind Regards.

Reporting from Costa Rica, once again! Taking advantage of the nine days of vacation for Easter, we have been driving from half Honduras to Costa-Rica, through all Nicaragua; and I am very pleased to report that the "KiaStein" has behaved outstandingly, performing as a champion; despite of all the Luggage weight plus our little family on it. The Moderators here, can attest my location, through the I.P. address. Photos to come soon... in case someone is interested. Kind Regards.

Initially, I searched for stiffer Coil Springs for the Front of this models of Subaru, on year 1999; Because my 2.7 Wagon (now dead) Project, had the Heavyweighed ER27 engine, plus a Fiberglass & Metal sheet Reinforced Front Bumper; I Needed Something Stronger than the EA82's coil Springs to better carry that extra weight. So, using "my own method" which I described with details on the writeup whose Link is Above; I Found that a suitable replacement are the front coil springs from a Ford Tempo; which looked pretty similar to the Subaru ones, but having around two more Turns and a thicker wire. I found those Tempo Coil springs on year 1999, already taken outside their car; (they only had a Mark done with white paint marker on them, that said: '94 Tempo) and originally I used them on my Loyale 2.7 wagon project; but since it is dead (More info, ~► Here) I decided to remove certain parts from it to make my EA82 Weberized Wagon (Now renamed as the BumbleBeast) a Better car, with the Better parts from the two; including the front Tempo coil Springs. So, I installed those Tempo's Coil Springs on the front of my "BumbleBeast" and those add to the Front Suspension the Same Firm & Sporty Feeling that the Rear suspension obtained with the Above written Modifications. ► IMPORTANT NOTE: The Ford Tempo Coil Spring's total radius -diameter- is Half inch (½") smaller than the Subaru ones, but that is Not a problem, I Drive my Subaru "BumbleBeast" with them since Years ago and they doesn't "Shift" nor make any clunk noise. Somehow these front coil springs from the Ford Tempo, aids to keep the Camber / alignment within specs; other coil springs that has been tested on the front of these Subarus, makes the camber to be even Worse... According to the info I obtained back then from the Junk Yard's salesman, the Front coil Springs came off a basic 1990's "Second Gen" Ford Tempo with in-line 4 Cylinder engine and manual transmission; Those are "Non-Progressive" Coils, so they measure the Same between each turn. I searched on internet for The Part Number for those Ford Tempo Front Coil Springs, So those should be: ~► MOOG CC854 for "Moog" Brand. ~► NCP 2775375 for "Napa" Brand. Please read further details and see more Photos, on my Writeup. Kind Regards.

I found that the Front Coil Springs from the Kia Sephia (first and second generation), are almost identical to the front coil springs on the Subaru Loyale; but the Kia Sephia ones have a thicker wire (around 2 mm) and the Sephia ones have a slightly bigger total radius, but they fit on the Subaru's shock absorbers; and the Sephia ones have an increased load capabilities. Let me Show you: They're almost identical, but here you can see that the Real Difference, is on their Load Capabilities: Even the first gen Sephia, has an increased load ratio than the second gen Sephia.

I just came home, back from the Alignment Shop, and I am very pleased to share with you all, that the Lifting of the "KiaStein" fixed the excessive Camber issues it had, in the front and in the rear; now was super easy to adjust. Let me share with you the Results: Happy Holy Week!

Tomorrow I plan to take it to an Alignment shop, to let them check and align it; also I want to wash it clean and be Ready, in case we go somewhere far on this incoming Holy Week vacations... The very first thing that I noticed today while driving the Lifted "KiaStein" is, that the Steering wheel became much Softer than what it used to be, and the front feels lighter, somehow. I bet that I'll need to adjust the Headlamps' beam... Kind Regards.

This is How the "KiaStein" looked Unlifted: ...and this is How it looks already Lifted!!!

After I did all this, I found that you can find Polyurethane lifting Blocks -Spacers-, for the second gen Sephia (among other brands) at the Aftermarket parts' stores; but I doubt that such a plastic could last too much in our crazy roads and offroads that we have in Honduras...
