  1. I did a ea81t to ea81 mpfi n/a by blocking off the turbos ports and using a set of spfi ea82 Pistons if it goes in an 85-86 car the wiring is mostly plug and play but I did this year's ago when parts were easier to find what killed our cars motor was the heads cracking to the exhaust ports it ran good until that point then back to square one
  2. I have just bought a Subaru again after not owning one for 2 years (finally saleing my 3door) I had been watching a 1988 2wd auto spfi ea82 gl wagon on fb marketplace for a year with 64k on it. It changed hands once in that time they paid 2500 for it but thought they could put there teen age daughter in it and would be good to but setting for almost 20 years no car is turn key they kept it for 1200 miles a got tried of paying mechanic bills tow bills for dry rotten hoses pretty much all of them listed on marketplace again a I watch the price drop to 700 I couldn't help myself I bought it
  3. If I remember correctly RAM aircraft engines now RAM proformace engines and machine in South Carolina or could up to a few years ago they made their own high flow pumps for aircraft use (I got mine for my old brat with the pistons and rings and they reworked my heads heads for the spfi swap I did in 2012)can get you oil pumps and do machine work for ea81 engines
  4. We have a 1993 Subaru Legacy lsi wagon it has the combination park lights turn signals with all plastic headlights without the metal bracket I would like to know what years interchange or what it takes to use the older sedan grilles or turbo legacy grille
  5. Bringing our 1988 rx back to daily driver duty after 4years of retirement First I think a little back story or info is needed in 2001 I brought little roo off of WJM as a parts car with a clean title but no engine trans body kit or rear running gear so, me and my dad took a 1989 2wd DL wagon without a title and pulled the wiring dash forward, engine and trans and made it run spfi and all at the time on the old easy board usmb it was one of the first spfi swaps even through it was mostly plug and play. We also used the 2wd rear end parts and rebuilt the ea82 with delta cams and a Nissan vg30 injector when I was in high school. Now due to me getting layed off a needing a gas milage car again for my wife to drive for now (can't find any newer subarus in our 2500 budget in our area) I putting little roo back on the road. Now I have it running again that wasn't hard I am however having trouble finding 13 inch tires which I have not been able to find new, used none in my area at all in nearest set of komhos 185 70 13 are in Knoxville tn now I have a set of 14 pugs but the 195 60 14 tires rub the rear wheel wells on bumps (new 2wd struts and new Honda acorrd springs are on their way from rock auto I hope this fixes it) I have everything to 5 lug swap the front end (xt6 parts) but not the rear and want too leave it 2wd for gas milage and I don't need 4wd I have a pathfinder,s10 blazer and a frontier to drive in the salt. Is there a way too put legacy spindles on the rear trailing arms I will cut the old ones out and weld the legacy ones in if need be my car dolly has ea rear spindles on it as well as drum brakes. Know it could be done I just want other ideas. Also where can I find sway bar end links
  6. First is The rear spindles the same on legacys I have everything to swap the the front xt6 parts but I can't find any fwd xt6s in any junkyards for 200 miles
  7. I tried this ea 81 build 3 years ago and yes it worked for awhile then the heads cracked again And I was not willing to have them welded again so, I swapped it for a na xt engine
  8. I have been repairing rust on my rx 3door today and when I pulled the tail lights to cut out and weld in new metal I seen that reason the quarter panel was rusted out is that the tail light on the passenger side was leaking and cause the taillight housing to rust out. What type of sealer or glue do you guys recommend to seal the taillight back in?
  9. my brat is a badged gl but has 2 headlights cycops light rubber floors originally 4spd d/r sliding glass rear widow bull bar roll bar and full gauges but no t tops according to the ranch in colarodo it came from they had special ordered 9 brats for use as hunting rentals on the ranch in 82 I got mine in 2004 from ebay at which time were 5 more just like for sale so back in the day with eniff money you could probably buy one any way you wanted
  10. If you need any help just pm me I live in kingsport tn and if I'm not working I'll always help out other soob guys there are not many of us here in east tn
  11. My 86 hatch's hi beams are on constantly right now I have the wiring schematic and it shows a relay but I can't find It I found the headlight relays under the dash below the steering wheel but not the hi beam one any help would be appreciated thanks 84gl
  12. I've ran 160 thermostats in almost all my soobs my rx has been running one since the engine rebuild in 03 with no issues and thats been 180k
  13. see why its so confusing is there were (now I'm not saying this makes them rare or anything) factory special orders like Mine which was used on a ranch in CO. where they had six brats just alike white with blue vinyl intirer a vinyl floor no t tops a full gauge cluster with a factory winch bull bar and roll bar so' there were odd balls through in the mix but this is almost common in aussie and NZ so was the two head light setup which they keep through 94 and we only got in 82
  14. thanks but figured it all out by pulling the pan and valve body again and making my own pin out by omoming all the connectors out
  15. I'm ejing my 89 turbo touring wagon and changing the 4eat out with an ej I have the pin for the 92 ej trans but not the 89 ea which has round connecters vs the ejs square I need the ea trans to body pin out to swap the wiring over thanks
