Why wont the rears fit specifically?

If an EA82 chassis is converted to 5 lug/XT6 parts, will the suspension off an Impreza or Legacy bolt in? I've heard that the front will but the back wont. I just want someone to set the record stright. Also some 5 lug parts from imprezas are bette4r to use than from a XT6. Why? Pics of differences?

I knew when I went in the garage and saw four engines on the floor that that last hit must have been laced!!!

Im working on it and want to get everything squared away so when I get a shell, I can work on that and have the engine done!

THAT LAST WAGON IS AN ISUZU!!! sorry for the yelling, but I didn't know they rebadged those in japan!

Hows it going removing the intake manifold? I have had to disconnect so many things to free it from the wiring and vacuum hoses!

Torxx you got it!

Enough of this rallyX stuff, lets do some autoX!!!

Corky will this work?

On all the cars I've changed oil on, if you open the oil cap while the engine is hot, smoke will come out.

Alright then I will. A few of the hoses (Metal ones) have rust and gunk in them and I think Im gonna replace them. Also the MAF to turbo pipe is cracked and Im going to need that too. Belts I figure I can get from NAPA or something. How should I clean out the PS resivior, the replacement you gave me has crud in it and the little filter was askew and I don't want to take any chances. BTW, did you pull that intake manifold yet? I've almost got mine off but I basically had to rip everything off the engine! Never knew it took so much to refurbish/ clean the OUTSIDE of an engine! When do you expect to get that wiring info? Thanks for your help Corky!

Need parts to bring an engine back up to snuff. Anyone know where to get replacement parts or a website that shows parts interchangability?

Anyone know what kind of carb came on Gen 1 Brats?

RX has stiffer shocks and springs than other EA82s.

Anyone got any besides cutting springs? Aftermarket shocks that can be modded to fit? JDM? Anything?

I've emailed them a couple times in the last two weeks and haven't heard anything back from them. Anyone know whats going on?

Austin, hows it coming along?

84 Mercedes 380SE 120,000 84 EA81T wagon 138,000 83 EA81 carb wagon 191,000 02 WRX 26,000 97 Caravan 97,000

But Im sure we can mod the cross over pipe a little. Ya know,stock diameter, but equal length? Im gonna try this with all you guys since I need a new engine anyway.

I need a 79 and 84 parts manuals. the ones with the part numbers in them. anyone got one?

So the consensous is that the TD04 will have bad low end, but good top end power? Tex would you agree? Cams (or in my case, singular) would help build low end boost?

Check you PMs...

Scooby, I sent you a PM.

I asked about injectors a long time ago and the consensus was that EA82T and EA81T injectors are identical. I wouldn't go with MPFI just because they are lower flowing... probably

thanks Ben, didnt know you knew so much about rebuilt engines? j/k. I think Im gonna try to get a CCR short block and put the top end on myself. CCR long blocks are 'spensive! $1000 for EA81T!!!
