Loyale 2.7 Turbo

If you're Sure that the Battery is Completely charged, I bet that there is a corroded wiring's contact, around the alternator; and when you swapped alternators, the wiring's contact got somehow "Cleansed" but Not completely, only enough to allow certain part of the voltage, to Flow... Also there might be a false contact at the Groundings / bolts to the Ground. So, I kindly suggest you to unplug all the contacts and do a good Cleansing at each plug, using Electronic Contact Cleaner and some fine sandpaper will do the Trick; also to the bolts that provides the Grounding to the system, and report back the Results. Good Luck, Kind Regards.

Remember the Cross-Ground wiring from side R to side L, it Shall be changed to independent wiring in order to let a new stereo to work good. ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/48427-ea82-stereo-installation/ Kind Regards.

Your Driver's side is our Passenger's side here, and there, next to the DOJ for the axle, is the point where both Heads' exhausts join together in a Box, where only one pipe comes out as the Tail Pipe; inside that box on the USDM Specs EA82, is the primary Catalytic Converter; said junction with a Box is known here as the "Y" pipe. I don't know if the AUDM specs' "Y" pipes has that Box with Catalytic Converter inside, but the LADM (Latin American Domestic Market) Specs, only has a plain "Y" junction, because Catalytics here are not legally required; but in any case, there should be a Heat Shield, made of two pieces of thin sheetmetal, bolted together, wrapping said Junction, or "Y" pipe, whose purpose is to prevent the DOJ boot from Melting, from that exhaust heat. Now, here is where Photos are really Needed, we don't know what exactly do you have in the Junction point, but whatever it is... (a Box with Catalytic, an Empty Box or a plain "Y" junction) ...it Shall have said metallic Heat shield in there, otherwise the Boot for the DOJ will melt for sure. I kindly suggest you to share at least, the web link to your Photo Album that you Created at image shack, so we can see better what is Happening there, and thus will assure a best help for you. Kind Regards.

Thank you!

I'm glad to read the good news. You're Welcome! Are you completely Sure that you are pasting here, the web link that ends with .jpg? Kind Regards.

I've been thinkin' the same... My plan is to remove the upholstery from the back support, and using the heat from an autogenous welder torch on both sides' metal rods, I will twist the seat further to the Forward... I plan to do that with the front seat in place, and I pushing it while sitting from the back seat... But I haven't had enough time to do that... yet. Kind Regards.

Exactly what happened to me, my Subie was rear ended on December 2003, so hard that I had whiplash, and the seat's back support still needs to be re-bent forward a couple of inches...

Here is another, Original EA82 Rally Car, for sale: ~► http://page15.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/t454709490 Kind Regards.

Yes, almost all performance Chips are a Swindle, except very Few that are intended for Real High Performance Cars, so forget about such a thing for your Subie. Keeping the tires at the maximum inflation pressure, according to what says on their sidewalls, a clean air filter and clean Sparkplugs at the proper Gap, will help a little to gain extra mileage from a full tank; but also your driving behaviour makes a Difference, if you keep the gas pedal floored, will use more gas, than gently pressing it... you know. Kind Regards.

Sounds Dangerous... but interesting as a Dedicated offroader. Kind Regards.

You're Welcome. Maybe you're posting from a Smartphone or Tablet / non-Windows environment device, and thus explains the lack of options, like the ones that appears after a Right Click over a Photo... Yes, I've seen Cheap parts, such like Ball Bearings, getting play very easy and having short lifespans. Well, could be that certain internal parts might been exposed to rusting agents, such like Coolant on combustion chambers, the lack of a sparkplug making rain or debris to access there, etc ... and there might be a Seized part ... a charged hydraulic lifter ... it is hard to be sure without being there to inspect the engine, but you can compare it with the other one on your daily driver, when you do the timing belts' Job. Good Luck! ... Kind Regards.

Those DOHC heads for the EA82 were made in New Zealand by AutoFlight, and were previously pictured on my "BumbleBeast" thread, years ago, you can find more info, more Photos and even a Video of a Working DOHC EA82 on the Following link: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/122276-the-bumble-beast/page-2?do=findComment&comment=1115736 Kind Regards.

Tom0 shared ~► Here, a web link which Really is worth to be Shared in this thread, there you can see a 1985 Subaru Leone Rally Car, whose EA82 engine received the DOHC Twin Spark 16 Valves' Heads made in New Zealand by AutoFlight; but they added a Turbo to the Mix, and despite of being an unfinished project, it worth to be shared here: Here is the Web Link mentioned above: ~► http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/specialist-cars/competition-cars/auction-990956057.htm

Are you writing about the special grille with integrated Fog lamps, or about the Metal + Rubber Lip / Spoiler?

Also, I'll like to see Photos of it, as long as you can.

I'll like to see Photos of that modified grille, as long as you can; only to compare the level of achievement from the one who did the Modification, with the Actual special grille.

If you can See your uploaded Photo at imageshack, then do a Right Click over it and from the options, select: "Copy image's URL" and then come to paste that at the Dialog box here, in a post. Kind Regards.

It is a Shame that you're selling that Lifted Monster Subie. Found it @ Craigslist: ~► http://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/cto/5314424106.html Kind Regards.

Long ago, I saw online, photos of a third gen Subaru Leone (EA82) / Loyale, with Fog Lights that seemed to be somehow, "Built-in" to the grille, but I never had the chance to look at photos that shows detailed angles to be completely sure about that; but today I came across this photos, shared by Rienk van der Ploeg, at one of the many Facebook's Subaru groups. This is a Photo of his nice Subie, which is an EA71 (1600) european third gen: A Closer look to the special Grille: I sign the Photos that are hosted on my behalf, on my account at the Photobucket servers, to whom I pay an annual fee, to allow these Photos to be seen here and share with you. Could that be an Aftermarket Grille, or maybe an Special Option for certain European Countries? Kind Regards.

DaveT got you covered on the Mechanical part of your Question, very well. So I'll try to help you with your troubles to share your photos: The problem is that you need to paste the Uploaded Photo's URL link (Copied from imageshack or whatever hosting site you chose) in the form that starts with http:// and ends with .jpg and also you need to Erase the http:// that appears already on the Dialog Box, here @ USMB, prior to paste said URL link. Go ahead and Try again

Electronic Damping Force Controller on a Loyale will be something New. Yes, it needs a new Build Thread, with a summary of the Previous mods. Good Luck! ... Kind Regards.
