Turbo Brat

Well I worked on it all day today (well stopping for lunch, beer, more beer, a beer run ) and now i have a code 11 and 12 so I hooked the two green wires up by the computer ( I think this bypasses the computer ?) and the fuel pump now does its pulse on / off .... so i decided to check the fuel inj. wire for volts ... when turning the key and the 2 green wires hooked up i have power to the inj. and it pulses on / off the pump is primming and I have spark but it still wont start ........... i know its got to be a ground or a sensor or relay I have gone and got another computer/ ECU / EGI unit and its out of a car that runs..... good god what am I missing ( besides more hair )

maybe I am just maybe its time to pull the ea 81 t motor and harness out and look at going with a 2.2 turbo motor. or the 05 turbo forester motor.... I cant make this one run I have spark, fuel, but the injectors will not open to let the fuel into the cyl's I have nothing for volts at the inj plugs I have checked everything I can think of maybe its time to go big or go home. any thoughts?

Got to love the right hand drive I want one.

Yah I know. I keep looking at the turbo 04 forester motor on the floor by my work bench. but I started this motor swap (carb to EA 81 turbo ) back in 96 and I just want to finish it. it went to the body shop for awhile .... along while. and I kinda want to keep it stock and then I want to get another one and go nutz with it .......

thank you for that. I have an unlimeted parts supply, for any year subaru (from 78 to 06) and can just about put any thing on my brat (as long as its subaru) I just don't know how easy it is. and I wanted to see if any one had done it and if it could be done simple like. lol ( I heard it was easy just change the tops) oh well I will take a look at it when work gets the xt 6 in.

(1) Will an 1984 turbo wgn rear bumper fit onto my Brat? my Brat one needs work and I am wondering if a turbo wgn one will fit till I get the Brat one fixed. (2) has any one ever put xt 6 suspension into an Gen 2 style wgn, snd, hatch or Brat? (and what would I have to do to make it fit? )

So do you need a dist. case? or is it part of the block? you should have a number on the Dist case ending in something like AA053 or AA440 or AA400 if you need a dist. case or compleat dist. I have one. Let me know. But I am in Canada and it may not be worth it.

I would like to stick to the subie rims if i could i already have the 14" with the off set (back) rims its cool they stick out like an inch to two inches past the rear fender well, i would just like to get the GT legacy rims on to it, i kinda want to slam it to the ground make it a low rider

No disrespect taken .... but there is no way 90 to 91 rear struts are the same as 92 to 94 they have diff part numbers and the springs are tapered on the 90 to 91 and not on the 92 to 94 and every jobber we have here have different listings for both. front suspension is the same, Now the rear struts we put in my brothers car i think came off of an Impreza but we had to use his strut top off his 90 wgn we were putting 16" rims off of a 99 GT on to it as well and the imp. top may have had some thing to do with the tire rubbing the strut i can't remember ,maybe our sturts are different up here but I don't think so. and like I said the spring and the top didn't fit right it was so close it didn't matter but it wasnt right. and we didn't use a hammer, that might work. The other prob we ran in to was the 16" GT legacy rims rubbed the strut on the forester and outback ones we tryed but didn't with the aftermarket inpreza ones we found, My brother went with forester springs because he wanted the car to sit higher but with the Impreza springs it made the car sit lower. with the reg 14" rim size it may not be a prob i don't know. his car (my brothers) had to go for an inspection so we didn't want to use a hammer on anything

No your springs taper and the outback ones are straight they will hit the body and your upper strut mount wont work on the outback struts, if your car was a 92 up it would work the outback ones would bolt right in. on my brothers 90 wgn we tryed. he went with aftermarket struts (not sure what brand ) he found and a wrecking yard and forester springs but they didn't fit right, it worked but wasn't right. he got about and inch of lift.

Just wanted to say thanx to all the people that gave me some ideas on how to fix my Brat. I had someone tell me about this site and thought it would be the best place to start looking for help. they were right this place is great!! some realy cool subys on here, and its nice to see some brats i love mine. I have had my Brat since I was 18 and I am now 32 its a 1984 and it was a carb 4x4 std. (I hope to post some pic's of it soon ) A guy from colarado had brought up to canada to do some skiing and when his visa ran out he had to sell it and I was lucky enough to buy it. there are not alot of the brats up here and even less of the 82 up style. I like it because of that fact, I have started to put a 83 / 84 style turbo motor into it and power windows and I want to put the xt 6 suspention into it so I can get the better subaru mags on it I hear they will bolt right in with just changing the upper strut tops.. (not too sure about this but hey its worth a try I guess.) I have a really good subaru only auto wrecker close by and they have a few of the older ones still left on there lot I think they said they had 500 subarus (thanx to the people who told me about them) any way I just wanted to say Hello and thanx.

Can any one tell me what this is and where it is because I don't have power to the injectors????

Thanx I will give them a call on monday. see if they have anything.

Can some one tell me if there is any subaru wrecking yards in BC canada?

No light on the ECU and no power to the Inj. fusable links are good. I am thinking it may have to do with the fact its an Automatic harness In a STD but I bypassed the auto shifter wire so it should think its in park and should start.... I really want to get this thing on the road, its car show season. And there really isn't many Brats up this side of the border.
