I did a search but came up empty. I know I read something about this a while back. I want to know if anyone has done this before and if they have, what was required to install them (rear discs) on a gen 1 car.

Yeah, sounds dumb, but my little bro is in a play on Sunday so I would only be able to play for a short time unless we bumped it to Saturday.

Any chance we could push this to Saturday?

I'd be interested if the price was right. Probably in the 14-16" range.

Anyone know where I can get one of them stickers?

I know what you're talking about. I think it was a seatbelt warning.

I'll be there in the wagon.

My thoughts exactly!

No it mean you dispose of the body!

Why would they use the EA81 block for testing when they already had the EA82 which was set up for overhead cams? It just doesn't make sense. I'll look at it today and ask the current prof who was a student there (I beleive).

Actually its between the left and right sides of the vehicle. The inside tires follow a smaller arc than the outside tires and therefore turn slower than the outer tires. That is what causes the bind. The manual also calls for speeds of 50mph or less while in 4WD.

I just think its kinda overkill. I had no problem answering those questions weekly. Most of the time all you had to do was post a link to an existing thread.

Do we really need this forum? Its getting pretty crowded, lets not get too forum happy...

Well what I understand from word of mouth is that FHI farmed out the development of the overhead cam system for the EA82 (There is an engine sitting on a stand in the VRI that has an EA81 block with custom heads milled out of aluminum and OHC). After I gather more articles from the massive collection we have here, I'll have Mick throw them up. There are two about Quattro san. It was actually a project car that Subaru loaned to Motor Trend. They did a bunch of stuff to it, then gave it back to Subaru. Then Subaru gave it to us for some reason. This last part is a little fuzzy, but I'll try to get more facts. Have fun with the following info, LET THE BENCH RACING BEGIN!!! Some figures from the articles compared to the EA81 turbo wagon R&T tested: (Note these are impressive only for a subaru) Quattro San has a 4 speed D/R manual and the turbo wagon has a 3 speed 4WD automatic. Quattro San: Estimated 110hp @ 5200rpm Stock Turbo: 95hp @ 4800rpm QS: Estimated 135lbft @ 3000rpm ST: 123lbft @ 2000rpm QS: Curb weight 2240 lbs ST: curb weight 2630lbs/ test weight 2775lbs (Tested with Turbo 10 package [sunroof, electric windows, cruise control, electric mirrors and digi dash] along with a roof rack and misc options) QS: 0-60 9.67 sec ST: 0-60 13.0 sec QS: 1/4 Mile 17.10 @ 77.7mph ST: 1/4 Mile 19.0 @70mph QS: 60-0 160 ft (Note: Nothing on the braking system was touched) ST: 60-0 168(FWD)/158(4WD) (Note: The stock turbo car stopped better in 4WD than FWD) QS: Estimated Skidpad .82g ST: 200ft Skidpad .720g QS: Brake diameter 7.2 in discs front/ 7.1 in rear drums ST: 8.9 in discs front/ 7.1 in rear drums I'll save the the other info for later. Maybe I gave you too much info too soon...

Looks nice, no interior shots. Where did you get all the stickers? Reproductions?

How DO you put so many miles on your car Amanda?

I hope you get it figured out before the snow run! On a side note, it'd be cool if you could post some pics of your car for us all to drool over!

The problem is that I'm not making full boost in my wagon. I'm about 90% sure that it is supposed to be 7psi, but the highest I can get is 6psi. What can I do to get it to the factory setting? I don't think anything can be done, but I thought I'd check here to be sure. P.S. There was a pinhole leak in the turbo coolant line. Local parts stores didn't carry it and the hose was part of the kit used to convert the EA81Ts to a watercooled turbo and they had discontunued it. Cut the bad section out of the hose and spliced in a good section. This means the wagon is FULLY 100% done after the tranny swap and the engine rebuild! A weight has been lifted from my shoulders! Lots of little cosmetic things left to do, but other than that, she's perfect!

The diesel heads sucked I heard. If I have time, I might putz with them a bit. This is WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY'S CAR! Nobody can legally own it except WWU. I'm a student in the Vehicle Research Institute at WWU and one of my projects is to fix this puppy up. We dont have an appropriate longblock to replace the original with (Except the one thats in my garage), and this is avalible. If anyone in the Bellingham area has a GOOD engine that they want to donate to Quattro San, that would be great too!

Big vaccum leak maybe.

Well here's an update on our situation. We did a compression test that showed ok pressures in all cylinders, but when we did it on the engine after it was warmed up, the numbers were 50-60 psi lower. We decided to throw a good long block in the car and the one 1800 we found in Stupid Storage had spacers between the valve covers and the heads. Now WWU has done a lot of stuff with subarus in the past so I was weary about using an engine that had been done over. Anyway, I pulled the valve covers and what do you thibk I saw? How about roller rockers? This engine had a roller conversion done to it in the past, but I also noticed it had a air to water intercooler on it and a prototype exhaust manifold on it. I want to do a few tests on this engine before we commit to using it, but if not, this will be going into Quattro San. I'll snag pics of the setup on Wednesday for you guys. Keep an ear to this thread!

It is screwed onto the spare tire support. Brown two pole connecter.

I have a set of five Kumho MTs that are mounted on Pug 14" steel wheels. PM me for details.

There is a water temp sensor and an ambiant temperature sensor. Thats it I think.

Well, if anyone wants to read more about this car, I'm trying to scan some old magazine articles about Quattro San. Stay tuned!
