The VF11 (Leg unit) shares flanges with the TD04.

Hood Pins... Cool or Rice???
carfreak85 replied to suberdave's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
How about this: On your average GL, yeah that would be pretty bad. Your GL however has the power/speed/handling to back that up so they cancel out. -
Look what I did on Monday!

Not sure if they still make those... Call them up Beataru -
1) We tend to use sand/gravel on the west coast to cope with snow and ice. There is a lot of it around here, so why not use it? This keeps our cars from rusting out like they do on the Wrong Coast. 2) We are the perfect environment for Scoobys. Snow and mountains that require 4WD in the West half and mostly flat boring 2WD zones in the Eastern half. 3) We are closer to the port of entry. The WA is the B3TTAR!!!

Oh, um... Well I certainly do!!! *wink*

Oh, really? I'll throw some in there, my bad. For the head flanges I had to have those made. My builder used .25" SS stock and to be sure it would not crack or warp, I asked that he make it with four stud holes. All I did on the head side was to pull out the factory exhaust studs and replaced the two per side with four SS studs and hardware, with a used factory gasket under that. When I pull it off to add the EGT bung I will put a new gasket in there, but for now, with four bolts per flange, it is holding up very well! I haven't logged many miles with it, but no flaws so far!

It should not matter where the O2 sensor is as long as its before the cats.

Ea82T heads to Gen3 heads

How much did that set you back, if you don't mind my asking? -

Poll: High compression turbo life
carfreak85 replied to kingbobdole's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I'll choose F. I just found a lead on a fully rebuilt MPFI EA82. With proper fuel management, this car should last for a while. I'll keep everyone updated. -
I was going to buy that car today!!! If you change your mind about keeping it, let me know!
-
Why? Why kill this perfectly good car with ricey mods?
-
Yeah, come on!! Just because he broke it doesn't mean we don't want to see the videos!!! BRING IT ON!
-
Thats pretty cool! I might have to get a similar set up for our car. Couldn't make that one, the only car of mine that is drivable is lifted, hahaha!
-
Because it will be more reliable on the trail. Its like a big EA82 without the HG problems.
-
*COUGH* make your own! *COUGH* Seriously, its not that hard and there are tons of DIY pages on it on the web. All you need is a vacuum, some plastic sheets, some resin and a few sheets of fiberglass and one of CF. Thats how most of those sweet kamakazi kits are made anyhow.

Ea82t Problems after upgrades
carfreak85 replied to ea82tdo4's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Maybe the throtle position sensor? -
ea82 engine oil ? 5w30 ?10w30,wd40?
carfreak85 replied to ivantruckman's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Ditto. Run it in my EA81 and EA81T and they don't complain at all. -
Putting a body kit on an XT would probably kill the great time and effort that the Fuji engineers put into the aero design of the car. My guess is the Cd would be miserable. Why do you want a body kit anyway?

Will EA82 Axles Mate With EA81s?
carfreak85 replied to carfreak85's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Yeah, that is exactly what I'm asking! Only difference is that I want to do this myself, not pay to have it done. Basically, I want to know if its physically possible to put 25 spline EA82 inner cups on the inboard side of an EA81 axle and if it will last. Is it safe to do this myself, or is it something that should be left to professionals? -
